    Hooks are too small for the triangles on the superfly so I added small glowire loops to the triangles. Works great and can be opened with mittens.
    I've seen things like that before and they look like the perfect thing if they weren't so expensive. I haven't found them in Europe.

    I've had good results tying a small shock cord loop to the door,then using a Dutch plastic door hook tied onto a big prussic loop on a line that terminates at the corner of the tarp.Grab the shock cord with the hook and then slide the prussic to keep it snug.Works for me.

    I use this method and like it.

    The only issue is the small clips are sometimes difficult to manage with gloves.

    I forgot I have two of these in my stake bag.. I use Tarp Worms on all ground corners, so added a Silk Worm to a each of the ZPacks door hooks with ZLine attached to each worm. Opted for this for two reasons.. keeping all the ground corner setups the same simplifies operations when my brain and body are tired, cold, wet or it's dark, and the full six feet of ZLine (which have a fixed eye in each end) can double as a supplemental guy line leaving the worm/hook dangling.. just seemed easier than had I left the lineloc on it.
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    Took me a bit to visualize it all (long day) but I think I got it lol. I went the opposite way: all my ground corners, and even the ridge line, have linelocs attached so the linelocs on the door hooks worked out for me. I use 2.5mm glowire on all the cordage, including for the hooks. 2.5mm is overkill but easy to handle in the cold and very tangle resistant. I love how fast it all goes up and comes down without needing to coil/uncoil any cords or careful handling or much thinking.

    Agree on the ease of things when have to neither coil and uncoil or undo a mess of tangles. The ZLine is 1.2.. also available in 2mm. I hear Dutch Wire is similar. It's got a rigid feel to it so it doesn't tangle and it's easy to handle. The true winner is the mesh sleeve for my tarps... Just leave the guy lines loose and slide the sleeve over. I resisted snake skins for years.. not sure why.
