It appears many hams are using these too.
Here's a link for anyone interested.

I also found these on eBay for less than $41 plus shipping. They collapse to 46".

I purchased one a few months ago & first used it this past weekend while working a qrp contest & camping, in 2 different antenna setups, and both used the mast lashed to ladder:
1 - ran a 66' pc of wire in somewhat of an L configuration to tuner
2 - mast was center support for 40M inverted V, fed with twin lead via balun to rig
setup # 2 provided most contacts, but wouldnt tune up worth a crap on 20M, where setup #1 would.
rigs used were an IC703+ & Rockmite on 40M; max outout pwr was 2w; farthest qso from RI was FL on 20M
darn this is FUN !
