    ILLUSTRATION - Rigging A Tarp With DutchWare Stingerz

    New blog illustration on using the new DutchWare Stingerz™.

    This is my current favorite of the DutchWare hardware line for tarp set-ups. I like that I can clip this to any tarp with ease. It's the big brother to the Tarp Flyz and wraps in a similar fashion.

    ok you need to stop

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Mine are only 108 in. (274 cm.) long on each side (9 ft./2.75 m.).

    More and more, I'm hanging at around 12 ft (3.6 m) between anchor points. With a 11 ft (3.3 m) tarp ridge line and 9.5 ft (3 m) hammock, that's plenty of distance, and I don't need overly long straps, suspension, or ridge line. My Whoopie slings, when I use them, are short, maybe 3-4 ft (1-1.2 m) long.

    What cordage works best with stingerz?

    I'm with you on the 12' spacing, btw, and this rigging enables that.

    i agree too,,, shorter the better. ~12' is premium.

    i ask only because my curiosity leads me to some old growth firs that quickly eat up line--- regardless sometimes of distance.

    85% of the time i can hike on to another site, but sometimes the group dynamic settles on a spot, and if i'm slow choosing trees, or the tenters
    pick rules.... i work with what i have. sort of like choosing to carry hmmk suspension extenders. what can i say...i like being in camp with buddies.

    I might be slow… or in a luddite mood, but I honestly don't see the point of this added thing?¿?

    Just to save the 2 seconds it would take to make/remove a knot from the tarp D-ring?

    Some folks don't tie knots. ;-)

    It is a gear thing. If you don't have a gear/gadget addiction then you will probably not understand. Plus the fear of knots, if you have that illness. Knot-a-phobia I think it's called. And being a gram weenie, I don't know what a couple of seconds weighs but I'm certain it's a few grams. You gotta cut down where ya can. Nice explanation of the Stinger use though!
    I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.
