Yesterday, I went to REI (I'm sure they had them before, but no more), then to two different fabric stores (I had to get directions to even find these places). No mitten hooks. Most people I asked didn't know what a mitten hook even was, so I first had to explain that to learn they had no idea where to buy them.
My temporary solution is to tie a bowline at the end of one scrap of shock line, then tie the other cord to that. It works, but its dumb.
