Hooch, you make-a-me smile :)
Really, I just ordered tarp flyz and Dutch hooks, and I'm waiting on my lash-it to get here and you announce this. Man now I'm gonna have to order more Dutch ware, but I think I'll at least wait until after the mahha to see if he releases any other cool toys!

Hmmmmm, what kind of load will they carry? I see several possible uses.

I never weight tests them but they use the same design and the ridgeline Biner and that will handle 250.

These look great. I was planning on ordering some flyz, but I may have to change my mind. Will these clip on the d rings on my maccat? I only ask because I have never seen a dutch biner up close, but I have seen the flyz and man are they tiny!

Yes it also will fit the triangle rings that WB uses which are the biggest I know of.

Where's the dejoha illustration on how they are used? These are for folks who don't have a continuous ridgeline, I assume. I supposed you could also use them in place of tarp flyz on a continuous ridgeline - have a place to hang stuff (albeit with no tarp weather protection).

Well, you're a few steps ahead of me :)
I just got these and am still playing with them. Illustrations to come.
You could use these with a continuous ridge line, even if they weren't designed for that purpose specifically. Just tag on some prusik loops, clip on the Stingerz, and away you go.

Why would you use them over the smaller/lighter Flyz if you're putting them on a prussic? That seems like it just adds a bit of weight. A continuous ridgeline with a single 'Flyz' on a prussic on one end, and a Dutch Hook on the other end already accomplishes the task and is smaller.

Okay, the design looks cutting edge. They are so easy on the eyes. But I can't get my mind around what you would use it for. Yes I know how to use Tarp Flyz. But why would you need to connect your TF to your tie out when they're already permanently set on your line?:confused:
The only use I see is to hang things off your tarp line that a soft shackle already does very well.
A video perhaps? Shug? Dutch?
And yes, further proof that Dutch can spin straw into Titanium.

These new thingamagigers are pretty awesome Dutch cant wait to check them out at MAHA next weekend pure genious. The use i see for them is this. I use Z-Pack snow stakes that Joe sells. They have holes drilled in on the top where a piece of cord runs through. I would remove the cord and attach a stingerz to each steak. Leave pull out lines attached to tarp. Attach tarp to tree take out of snake skins. Pull each guy out to steak and secure line around the tarp fly portion of the biner. I would not have to tie knots around steak to secure line. Also allows for easy adjustment and tensioning of tarp guy out lines. Now why not just use a continious loop on the line and lasso it around steak. Well even though this has not happned to me the loop in hi winds could slip off Cranky Bear thought of that one. With securing line around fly un less the steak pulls out that line isent going any where. Me like. Im gonne have to get like twenty eight of these things. Two tarps five tie outs each plus two pannel pulls on each side im gonna be Dutch blinged out on the trail. I is also my belief and ill have to test this but by using the stingerz it may be easier to secure smaller diameter line. But thats just a thought. Cant wait to get my hands on these new Dutch wear products and test um out. Dutch thanks for some more awesome Dutch bling.

These are best used with end-only tie outs, not a continuous ridge line.
The biner clips to your tarp. The line is tied through the hole (an eye splice works). This keep the biner attached close to the tarp. The line goes around the tree and cinches like a regular tarp flyz.
I'll work on an illustration soon.

Another way to think about it.. this combines an s-biner attached to a prusik with the dutch fly into one piece which handles both tarp to RL attachment and RL tension & tie off.

They could also be used as in the illustration on pg 71 of The Ultimate Hang, of the continuous RL, but instead of having a biner on a prusik you have one of these on your tarp. Since I actually hang my tarp via that method I see some stingers in my future cuz then I get the added benefit of mechanical advantage, and some cool dutchware.

Ditto, can't keep up
Very, very, very cool. Let us know when they are available.
I'm planning on early next week to have them posted on my site. No need to pre order and keeping track would just slow me down.
Wow! Those look really cool. Will they be for sale at Trail Days too?
Fronkey
Yes they will.
Cool! I'll make sure to bring my coin purse. :lol:

That is one of the things i have to work on and I don't have all the costs in yet. It will be a little more than a regular Flyz and I think I will sell them as singles.

look like another order on the horizon, scary thing is that they suggested there was MORE new stuff ...
Dutch sent me some stingers. I have always used a continuous ridge-line until very recently. Mainly because I like to hang things from the line (e.g., water containers & gear), but the long line would sometimes get tangled up with other lines when I put the tarp away. I also found that my newer tarps hung better without a CRL. With the stingers, I can hang my tarp without a continuous ridge line, yet I can clip a secondary line between the tarp ends to hang things from the tarp. I can hang this line looser so what I hang draps closer to the hammock opening. I can even set up a pulley system very much like a clothes line, in case I am very lazy that day.
Sorry no pictures right now, but this picture now needs updating and I only took it a few weeks ago!

Hmmmmmmm! Wait for it.:confused:
Maybe we can get Dutch to invent a sky hook for our tarps,,or even hanging the ends of the hammock,,then we wouldn't have to mess with lines or worry how we are going to tie these do dads all off and wouldn't even need to use trees either. I get to have the first set if he makes some up! :boggle:

Stingers have some similarities with the Nite Ize Carabiner Figure 9, but unique in many ways.
I posted an illustration today (http://bit.ly/IDNuwj) showing how the Stingers and Figure 9s can be used in much the same way, but Stingers can also be used (and I think are intended for) end-only tie-outs for tarp ridge lines.
One thing I like about the Stingers, and their close cousin, the Tarp Flyz, are the "antenna" on top. This gives a more obvious, direct place to whip off the standing end of a line, where the Figure 9 must be tied off very specifically.
The Stingers are also smaller, lighter, and TITANIUM, BABY! :)
