    Dutch Stingerz meets Flyz

    I own both the Dutch Stingerz and the Dutch Flyz - I like both, but I wish there was a hybrid like this:



    The Stingerz are great because they can be so easily added or removed from my tarps. I like the Flyz because in a pinch, I can move them up the ridgeline. I have occasionally had to add more line, because the trees I used where either far away from each other, or were simply big. I prefer to set my tarp up with the V allowing my hammock suspension to pass through, but in special circumstances, I'd rather change this than adding line. Currently, I have added a continuous loop to my Flyz, in order to be able to attach them to my tarp like the Stingerz. However, the holes are too tight to have the continuous loop and use the Flyz like they were intended to use (with the ridgeline running through both holes) and move them closer to the tree. That's why I wish the Flyz came with a carabiner option... Am I the only one?

    Well I see your point but here is an easy way to make the Flyz removable. I put a locked Brummel on the tarp end of my line. Then that loop is simple attached to the tarp with a lark's head. Sure it isn't quite as easy as a biner but it is easier than almost anything else we do in life.
    Peace Dutch

    Well, currently I prussik the continuous loop on the tarp line, which works, too. It's just not as nice
