Your pole sections look different to the ones on my Tundra 4.

Real shame that it bent, must have been a shock and a put a bit of a downer on the rest of your easter break. :(

The old fashioned way to straighten (bend) tubes like that was to pack them really tightly with very dry sand, and I mean really tight, ram it in good and tight with a stick that just fits in side the tube and slowly straighten it a bit at a time, repacking with sand as needed.
It doesn’t always work as the stress on the thin aluminium can just make it crack.

thats a bugger mate. I had the tubdra up in Jan when we had 60/70mph winds and aside from one snapped guy line (it was rubbing on a sharp bit on the peg), the whole tent was fine. The pole for the tundra is alot tougher though as the pieces don't pack away into eachother, bulkier but stronger i think.
Let us know how you get on with Bisons customer services.
Will post up my latest trip in mine, as soon as i sober up after watching the first BSB race of the season (nerves in taters)

Your Tinde pole looks very much like the poles I use for my tarp.
Telescopoc with a taper.

The one with the Tundra 8 has the same thickness over the complete length.
Much more space consuming but stronger I guess.
