My tent pole snapped on the second night of the Lost Coast Trail last month.
It was a windy night near Punta Gorda and I heard a sharp crack. One of the main support poles on my three-season tent split clean through. I had to use some heavy-duty repair tape and a section of a trekking pole to rig a fix for the rest of the trip. It held, but it was a shaky setup. Has anyone else had a major gear failure like that in a remote spot? What did you use to get by?

Heard about a buddy whose pack strap tore on the PCT.

Man, that's rough for your buddy, @adam_nguyen7. Makes you wonder if the constant sun exposure out there weakens the stitching over time.
