A coupla Qs:

1] I find the "mitten hooks" hard to open and close but I like their functionality. Does someone make a nicer mitten hook? I'm thinking maybe the little plastic Niteize S-biners would be a nice replacement for the mitten hooks on the ridgeline. I'm pretty sure they are small enough to not do any damage when it's all wrapped up in the snakeskins. Thoughts?

2] I'm tying my tarp to the tree and thinking of removing the tarp clips on the prussic knots. I know most of you don't use them either. Did you leave them on or remove them?
