Alright guys I need some suggestions. I am currently using dutchware stingers on both ends of my tarp to make the V so I can place my hammock between etc. after my last trip I realized I would like to have a continuous ridgeline, I did a make shift ridgeline and really liked being able to hang all my equipment from the Ridgeline. Any sugestions on the best way to accomplish the V while having a continuous ridgeline. I would like to accomplish this with the use of dutchware or other advantages. Any sugestions? Videos or pics would be great.

Have you tried going without the V? I personally find it a waste of time - solves a problem I don't have.

I have tried, but for me it just seems to be more versatile.

My tarp and suspension always stay in line and never get in Each other's way.

I did see that setup and liked it. Idk guess I'm looking for something else. Not sure what yet. Thank you very much for suggesting it though.

I'm not sure what you're looking for, but to maintain the V's with a continuous ridgeline and Dutch bling, that's a pretty good solution.

That's actually basically what I did with the stingerz, just didn't seem to work well under the tarp.

I use a the dutch continuous ridgeline with the wasp and have a V on both ends. I get a V on the hook side by making a marlin spike hitch with the hook. You can substitute the wasp for your existing stinger if you want to make it yourself.
AHE sells nice 1s, I got a single simple carabiner 1 from em a year or so ago and since have made 3-4 more, work great!!
