<p>During a storm one of my tent poles that used to be straight, became bent. Is there a way to straighten the pole again?
Or is it a bad idea to try straightening the pole because is would likely snap anyhow and is replacing the pole the way to go? (<a href="https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/4412/how-to-find-new-poles-for-old-tent">There is already a question about finding replacement poles</a>)</p>

<p>As a clarification, a picture of the bent pole. It shouldn't bend at all.
