I’ve always a small canister of WD40 on me when off to fishing.
Spray a little on a cloth and wipe over the joints.

I always crouch down put my hands either side of my knees, grip either side of the join and open up my knees. That way you have a lot more power with little effort.

The trick I find is to pull them apart with your hands wider apart rather than just either side of the join

Trakkers are anti twist poles, not sure about other makes. Hinges seem to have gone out of 'vogue' for some reason, I still use my Fox frontier think they're great on that.

Was just looking into a new bivvy and I got to thinking about how irritating it can be to dismantle or put up a bivvy in cold days when you're having to pull apart poles that may or may not have twisted.
Are there any bivvies that have hinged poles rather than elasticated poles? Something that you could just open up, click into place... job done. Maybe someway of unlocking, folding up then packing up.
Alternatively, does anyone know if after market hinges are available?
