    Door snaps on winter tarp

    Has anyone used KAM (plastic) snaps on the doors of your tarp? If so how do they hold up?
    Currently have a chill gorilla fortress tarp. And looking at a war bonnet superfly but have concitered the winter dream tarp just cause the snaps?

    I have a UGQ Winter Dream with KAM snaps to seal the doors, and the snaps work great; they have held up well so far over the last year, and the nice thing about KAM snaps is that they are simple to replace if necessary.

    I have kam snaps on mine as well. Put them on to replace velcro. Works great.

    I love the snaps on my UGQ winterdream and they mean I don’t always have to stake out the doors if I set it up with them snapped closed!

    The only regret I have is I couldn't find snaps that glow in the dark!

    Rough them up a bit and paint with https://www.amazon.com/DecoArt-DS50-...E2CR5AGTGK3RXP. Worked for me. Can charge by tying the doors open along the side of the tarp.

    When I tie out the bottom of my doors (not often) I also use glow in the dark micro cord from Atwood (https://atwoodrope.com/collections/g...cord-uber-glow) to prevent tripping on those midnight excursions.

    KAMsnaps makes glow-in-the-dark KAM snaps but you can only find them around Halloween so keep an eye out next fall.
