MTN STICK
How much weight can your pole hold?
Up to 40 lbs — enough for heavy spotting scopes, full-size cameras, or glassing all day.
Will it hold my camera or spotting scope?
If it uses a standard 1/4″-20 mount (nearly every camera and spotting scope made), it fits. The MTN STICK includes the optics platform it sits on.
How small does it compress?
38″ assembled (strapped to your pack), 25″ when disassembled (fits in a duffel, carry-on, or backseat).
How much does it weigh?
17.5 oz — about the weight of a water bottle. Similar trekking poles alone weigh 16+ oz; you’re adding tripod and tent pole function for an extra 1.5 oz.
Is The MTN STICK one or two poles?
We design around a single pole — simpler, lighter, balanced on uneven ground. Want stability? One MTN STICK is enough; your free hand stays free for balance or binos. If you want a traditional two-pole hike, grab the Companion Pole for additional utility.
SHELTERS
Is the tent floored?
Yes. Full bathtub floor — not just a ground cloth. Keeps you dry and keeps critters out
Is it hard to set up?
First time feels different — it’s not the tent you’ve used for years. On your third setup you’re faster than your old tent. We highly recommend you set it up at home at least twice and you’ll be good to go.
Is it waterproof?
Yes — 4500mm hydrostatic head rating is higher than most tents on the market. Paired with 15D ripstop nylon, it handles heavy weather. Additionally: Seal the seams with silicone-based seam sealer, just like you’d do with any high-end tent. Use something like THIS
Can I use my MTN STICK when the tent is set up?
Yes — the MTN STICK poles pop out of the tent structure. Your shelter stays pitched and your gear stays dry while you scout or glass nearby. Pop them back in when you return.
Can I use your tent with trekking poles?
The MTN STICK works with CMT shelters (Helium, Helo, Bivouac systems). Standard trekking poles or other shelters mount differently and aren’t compatible.
Can I use the MTN STICK with my existing tent?
Works with any trekking-pole shelter that uses standard 18mm diameter poles. Traditional dome tents with built-in hoops aren’t compatible — they need proprietary poles. If your tent manual says “use trekking poles,” you’re good.
