Trying to fix a broken tent pole on a trip in the Adirondacks took me 3 hours

I snapped a section of my Kelty Trail Ridge 2 pole on the first night. The repair sleeve in the kit was useless, so I had to improvise a splint with a stick and a ton of duct tape. It held, but the whole ordeal ate up most of my evening. Anyone have a better field fix for a clean break in a tent pole?

Three hours though. That's a whole evening gone. A splint and duct tape works fine. It's just a pole. You got it fixed and the tent stood up. Sounds like a win, not an ordeal.

Yeah, I mean duct tape fixes are basically a camping rite of passage.
