Can I still pitch my tunneltent if the elastic in one of the three fiberglass poles has snapped while on a trip? I imagine it would be a bitch (keeping pressure on to prevent the sections disconnecting) but still possible. I need to know because one elastic thingy is starting to fray and I am too cheap/stupid to replace it and secretly want things to go wrong.

Depends on the tent. One of mine broke during a bicycle tour and I ended up finding a ~8 inch long metal rod by the side of the road and attaching it with zip-ties. It worked for a couple weeks until I could get the manufacturer to send new poles to a town I passed through.

After that, I bought a tent repair kit which now lives with my other tools. It has some appropriately sized tubes, along with some chunks of waterproof fabric and mesh.

I can't read. I snapped a pole, not the elastic inside. But honestly, it should be possible to fix that too.

Duct tape, or run some new elastic. Jesus.

I'm not asking how to fix. Im asking if its possible to put the tent up without elastic. And stop calling me Jesus.

I'm sure you can, but I bet it'll be a huge pain in the ass, especially keeping it together inside the sleeve while setting up.
