Hi, i make removable gyu lines to my ponchotarp. This "hook" is made from bicycles spokes. Weight is 2g. and it's very durable. Now it's easy remove lines when i'm using poncho as raingear.

Great stuff Timo! The hooks look very durable too. You might want to look at BPL's Nite Ize S-Biners..They to are removable and have two locked ends just in case the wind really picks up. The S-Binders are very quick and easy to connect and disconnect.
I just bought a set of 'biners from Zpacks. According to Joe, they are the same ones sold by MLD.
Great idea!
Timo,
You may have just increased the MYOG rating of my kit and saved me from from buying a bunch of mini-biners. Thanks!
Is that heat-shrink tubing covering the closed loop?
Timo, I also recommend the Nite Ize S-Biners. Although I do not own a poncho-tarp, I use the #2 for bearbagging.
all around they are a well designed biner, and you might also be able to get some at WalMart or Ace Hardware or somewhere like that, thats where I got mine.
hope that helps!
Those MYO ones look like drapery hooks with the points cut off.
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking, Ken!
(Don't tell anyone we know what drapery hooks look like:) )
