My tent zipper broke in a downpour at Crater Lake
I used a paperclip and some duct tape to hold it shut for the night. Anyone have a better fix for a busted zipper pull?

Honestly that paperclip move is pretty smart for a quick fix, but I would have just used a safety pin from my first aid kit. They're smaller and you can hook it through the zipper slider way easier. Duct tape on a wet tent sounds like a mess to peel off later. For a real fix, you can get a replacement zipper pull online for like two bucks, they just clip right on.

Why do we always try to fix stuff with whatever's closest instead of the right tool?
