just take a tape measure and a folding saw and of course gaffer tape . Thats all you need to either make a repair ie splint or cut a pole to suit ! another option would be a section of steel tube to slide over damaged pole then tape in place or carry a pole section im asuming the original pole is in sections . just so you know our tipi would need a 3.5metre pole .

hope this helps Rob

If you also get a tarp with its own pole, this could serve as a splint pole as suggested. The pole on my Obelink tarp, is actually thicker and better quality than the main pole

If it gets windy enough to require some extra support for the main pole, the the tarp should probably not be being used any way, so the pole will be available.
