I lost or misplaced (whats the difference??) a trecking pole and hope someone has a match that they would sell me, or better yet, knows where I can purchase one. It is a CampLand carbon 80%, 37-125cm telescoping. I hope someone can help me out here.
Sitting here staring at the screen, awaiting a positive reply.

Best I can do for you is to tell you what many others have done. Buy another pair and keep your odd one as a back-up for when you break or lose another.

I Googled these poles and they look like, if they are available, they are only like $12. I'd go with zeke 's suggestion and buy another pair. I just bought a pair of Black Diamond Trail Ergo Cork Trekking for $140. If I lost one pole of these I would contact Black Diamond and see if they can help. |

Dayum, so did I !!!Got 20% off at Moosejaw, $110.46 shipped. Only problem was FedEx delivered but not to my house. Started a "case" with them, but they never came through. Fortunately, Moosejaw replaced them at no charge. Haven't used them yet, because the replacements arrived too late for my October trip to Kentucky. My old poles are Black Diamond Ellipticals, my first flip lock poles. They're still usable, but the centimeter marks are mostly worn off and the straps are a bit tattered. Very sturdy, but heavier than the Ergo's. |

Not to thread drift too much but these are my first flik lock poles after like 30+ years of Leki Super Makalu internals. I used them for an overnight recently and first impression is I would not go back to internals. Just better. My only compliant would be the flik locks are so sturdy/tight the pole is exceptionally rigid and when I hit a rock swinging them it does come right up into my hands. I keep thinking like a blind person's cane I feel what the tips touch in my hands. The slightly reduced weight makes a surprising big difference in arm fatigue. |

Same for me, Ernie, except I didn't start pole usage until 15 years ago or so. My wife's BD flick locks have held up well and I didn't realize how good they were until I used one as a wading staff when fishing some fast, slippery rivers out west, especially some crossings of the San Juan in NM. They didn't slip when I did, lol, I think my Makalus would have collapsed and gave me a dangerous dunking. |

They didn't slip when I did, lol, I think my Makalus would have collapsed and gave me a dangerous dunking. I was on my third set of Makalus. The first, I can't remember exactly how, got bent to the point that the shaft of one section split vertically. I replaced those with what REI had at the time which was a rubber handled version. I eventually replaced those with the current cork handled one probably about twenty years ago and they went strong until recently. I never changed their adjustment until recently. They got caught in the sewer water flood of Ida at my house. I had to take them apart to clean them and this little red plastic threaded piece stripped and will no longer tighten. I think if I send them to Leki they would repair them. So it was time for new poles and I am glad (but a little off camping budget). |
