CMT Shelters are created with Ultralight Backpackers in mind. Our tent sets up with only 1 MTN STICK!
Built for Ultralight Miles
Upgrade as You Go
Ditch bulky gear. The MTN Stick replaces multiple tools—tent poles, trekking poles, and even a tripod—in one ultralight, modular system built for long days on the trail.
Start with the MTN Stick
Your trekking pole is the core of the entire system. It’s not just for balance on the trail—it’s a modular platform that carries extra pole sections inside the shaft.
Transform in Seconds
When you reach camp, simply remove the internal sections and connect them using the integrated attachments.
Pitch Your Tent Using the MTN Stick
The Bivouac 1.5 is engineered to work directly with the MTN Stick. It uses the Stick as the primary support—no traditional tent poles required.
