    oh yeah, I've seen Outdoor Adventures before, probably posted on HF, if the Dutch bling is any judge.

    Those little clips are exactly what I was imagining, and it makes sense, though, I don't criss-cross my doors like that to close them. I did that at first, but now instead I go straight out to a stake. Leaves you with much more interior room, especially with blowing snow. Since the doors go out to create a pointy structure, the snow tends to blow AROUND the tarp rather than piling up under it (and you). Still, a quick connect there is a good idea, and a similar thing could be done with other things as well.

    Sound logic behind going out to a point / stake. What other quick connect things could be done, if you don't mind me asking? Have seen Mitten Hooks used but alway's looking at all options.

    Well for instance, on a Bug-net...

    What's your tarp guy line/stake setup?

    Mini Groundhogs for the most part, but I carry two larger y-stakes as backup. Probably a better option out there.

    Tarp worms on reflective shock cord give me enough reflection to avoid the line. Tarp worms as pretty-much perfect. Minimalist, quick, light and easy to adjust from under the tarp. That said, I have a set of hook worms that I have been meaning to swap in, for 'swapability' sake.

    Zingit lines with a fixed eye to drop over the stake stay attached at each corner. Six foot on the 'back' side and ten foot on the front for porch mode.

    I was using prussiks with double ended lines (one end had a tensioner the other had just an eye), but I HATE PRUSSIKS!!

    I'm real happy with the current setup.

    I received the "Buckles" in the mail. They surprise me because I don't believe they were the same as in the video. Much smaller; not even the length or thickness of my thumb. I did notice that they have an eyelet for attaching the Zing-It and that is probably just large enough to slide it on a Ti Hook Stake to pulls the doors out to a point when desired. I just wish I had the Winter Palace to try them on... Great idea to use these on the WBBB netting cord for quick connect or disconnect.
