It may be the tent pole splint to repair a broken tent pole in the field.

Ah. After search tent pole splinter, I know what it is for now. I have actually never taken it with me camping. It will go where the tent goes from now on. Cheers.

I had a pole break once, not a good feeling as it was raining heavily at the time. My Hubba Hubba also came with the pole splint. I instantly knew what it was for.
I also inspect my poles for splitting or cracking near the ends.

As well as the pole repair sleeve its handy to have some electical tape in the kit to secure the repair sleeve on the broken pole in the required location. Cheers
