Tarp No Poles?

Hey Francis,
Welcome back and congratulations!
On your CDT list I didn't notice any shelter supports, such as trekking poles (which I know you don't normally use) or poles specially made just for shelter support.
What did you use to pitch your tarp? If you say that you found stuff along the way, I'll ask if you carried the first good sticks you came across, or did you count on finding new ones each night?

BTW, bummer I don't live up in the Bay area or I would catch your slide show. Maybe you can post it on your site? Or, there is an REI in LA, maybe you could set up a presentation there for us socal people.
