Something like:
"Warning - Dutchware bling can be addictive"
I have got some stuff from Dutch and just playing around with it at home it occurs to me that these things would be great to have more of. So small & light & simple & effective, maybe I need these titanium doo-dads on all my guy lines? I can definitely see myself putting in another order at some point!
I bought a continuous ridge-line, such a simple but effective setup! I think it takes a special kind of genius to design clever products that are so simple and just work. The Dutch Wasp is a good example, really effective little bit of titanium that is very easy to use. The Dutch clip is nothing special I suppose, but very light and does the job that it is supposed to do (what more could you ask?). The Tato Gear tarp connectors are really easy to use, less mucking about than with knots.
I also got an adjustable ridge-line with a couple of titanium biners, wow those things are small and light, could be used for a few different purposes.
I thought I'd get a couple of Stingerz to try out, these could be used on guylines for tents, hammocks or tarps - lighter than the figure 9 connectors I've previously played with and work even better.
Now that I've got some nice titanium bling from Dutch I can see why the guys on the forums are always raving about them, but it is already too late and I find myself craving more of these titanium thingies. What's the bet that on my next camping trip I'll be setting up and thinking "hmmm, some flyz/fleaz/stingerz would make this easier, must order some when I get home". Argh, too many good products causing me pain in my wallet!
