A Midgard tent can be pitched with just two poles in the main tent, plus the A-frame in each entrance. But it can be stregthened and stabilised further by adding another two. You will still be able to enjoy the "pole-free" experience that characterise the Midgard, as none of the poles take up any of your living space.

Of course, the poles also serve as spare poles, offering the possibility to prolong the lifetime of your Nordisk tent substantially. So if you lose, break or bend one of your poles, there is no need to worry: simply exchange the damaged pole with a new tailored replacement pole. Even if nothing is broken, a spare set of poles is good to bring along as extras or for tarp set ups. All Nordisk spare poles have detachable bungs offering the possibility to shorten and tailor the poles for other purposes, but still in the well known Nordisk quality. These poles are made of aluminium to provide a strong, but lightweight alternative to steel.
