An injection-molded climbing stick includes a first step, a second step, and a post extending from the first step to the second step along a length of the post and comprising a plurality of fibers that includes every fiber that is disposed within the post. The plurality of fibers includes a sub-plurality of fibers. Each fiber in the sub-plurality of fibers is elongated in a lengthwise direction of the fiber and oriented such that the lengthwise direction is substantially parallel to the length of the post, and the sub-plurality of fibers includes a majority of the fibers in the plurality of fibers.

A locking mechanism is adapted for a foldable pole including a pole body and an elastic drawstring disposed therein, and the pole body being composed of a plurality of pole sections foldably connected with each other through the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a connector and a connecting sleeve. The connecting sleeve is disposed on one end of adjacent two ends of two pole sections and the connector is disposed on another end of adjacent two ends of two pole sections. The connecting sleeve has a through hole for receiving the connector. An elastic buckle for locking the connector is disposed on the connecting sleeve. One end of the elastic buckle passes through the connecting sleeve and is inserted into the clamping groove of the connector. The locking sleeve is pressable against the elastic buckle so as to lock or unlock the connecting sleeve with the connector.

An avalanche shovel has a shaft and a grip section that is formed and/or arranged at one shaft end The avalanche shovel has an avalanche probe which can be arranged in the shaft of the avalanche shovel, wherein the grip section exhibits a grip area for gripping and/or holding the avalanche shovel and/or such a grip area is formed on the grip section. The grip section exhibits an insertion and/or removal opening for removal from and/or for insertion of the avalanche probe into the shaft along an insertion axis. A tent can have the avalanche shovel as a tent pole.

A reservoir provided in a hard-point fixture is pre-loaded with a curable adhesive, where the reservoir is protected from the curing radiation. The fixture is placed on a target surface and the adhesive is extruded from the reservoir into a space between the fixture and the target surface. An irradiating device to cure the adhesive is provided in the fixture and activated to couple the fixture to the surface. Once the curing process is complete, the fixture is released from the placement system leaving the fixture affixed to the target surface.
