How to use Dutch Flyz

[Paulie]

However for a continuous ridgeline I like to put the flyz on a prussic and the d-rings on prussics. Then everything slides on a line with a hook on one end. Let me know if that doesn't make sense. It's easy to understand when I know what I'm talking about

I really like this idea!...saves from having to adjust the flyz every setup...just slide it on the ridgeline depending on the size of the tree.

Agreed...I never thought of putting a prussic on the Flyz. That would be much quicker and easier to adjust than the Flyz threaded directly to the ridgeline.

Ok, so on one end of the tarp you have two prussics. One connects to the ridgeline and the other to the flyz?

Yeah, I think Dutch said he uses three prussics on a continuous ridge so in that case you'd have one prussic loop girth hitched to each tarp D-Ring wrapped around the ridgeline above and then a third prussic on the free end line that has a Dutch Fly threaded on it. The other free end just uses a Dutch Hook or in my case a Dutch Ti utility biner.

Can you get any more Dutchware on there? I may need to try this out once the wallet refills.

Actually it's only two pieces of Dutchware for my tarp. I use a Dutch Ti Utility biner on one end and a Dutch Fly on the other end and that's it. My tarp is attached to the ridgeline with prussic loops. I used to use mini biners to attach the prussic loops to the tarp D-rings but I pulled em' off now and just have the prussics tied to the D-rings now. There get's to be a point where you just have too much "junk" on your set-up I guess.

Gonna electroplate a set and put em on a gold chain.

Any pictures of how you prussic'd to the ridgeline then connected to the tarp. May have to do that with my new tarp to shave a biner or 2 off.

No I don't have any pics of it but all I did was tie the prussic loop to the D-ring with a knot. A soft shackle prussic would be better but I don't have a proper tool (needle) to do a bury on a soft shackle. If someone sold Zingit soft shackles I'd buy one but I don't think anyone sells them. You can buy amsteel ones but that wouldn't work on a ridge line.

I'd use a soft shackle prusik in the application as well. Here's how to make them:
