Cimarron Question

[KHntr]

Just getting ready to order a Cimarron, does that come with an aluminum pole or do I need order the carbon fiber pole that is available separately?


*Answered by Bekah, yep need to add the carbon pole. *

Thanks

It does not come with any pole , has to be purchased seperate

You can get by with an REI pole or get the SO trekking pole hitch to use those for the center pole. You're not restricted to only the carbon pole.

Bought the rei pole and it works fine but now preferring to cut a stout limb as works for hanging socks and such and luckily where I go there are always good limbs available

You have to buy the pole separate. You can use trekking poles with an attachment, cut a branch or just buy an after market pole. I use the carbon fiber one form SO and it works great but you can certainly get away with the alternatives.

I just use a adjustable aluminum painting stick from the hardware store for $18 works great. If I leave the truck I’ll just use trekking poles or a tree.

I bought a cimarron last year. You don't need a specific pole for it. If you have a set of adjustable trekking poles just take the bottom section out of one pole and insert the tip into the open end. Then you can adjust as needed. I have used this method several times and with pretty substantial winds.

I ended up buying the CF at the same time. A prussik and extra piece of 550 works for hanging clothes ect off of when run from the top out to a peg.
While I understand the idea of being uber-light by not taking a dedicated pole for the Cimarron and using trekking poles, I have zero interest in taking the poles out every morning when I leave the shelter as they go everywhere with me. Hiking poles get used to steady binoculars and used as a rifle rest if required.

I am usually hunting with at least one other person and borrow one of their trekking poles. If I were alone I would use a dedicated pole.
