Damn you Dutch and your awesome bling!!!!!
Damn you Dutch and your awesome bling!!!!!
After using these for my tarp during my most recent hang I will never go back to a full ridgeline again. Stingers are super easy and really a no brainer, too bad I didn’t come up with them. Clip to the ring, zing it or lash it around the tree and locked back on to the Stinger. Super fast, super easy (Especially in the rain), Super light. Dutch has superior customer service and awesome bling. You always have first crack at my business as your products are top notch. Thanks Man….

I got two Stingerz spliced to Lash-It when I switched to tarp end tie-outs from a continuous ridge line.
I got two Stingerz spliced to Lash-It when I switched to tarp end tie-outs from a continuous ridge line. This is a superb product with an elegant design, and it completely surpassed my expectations while knocking ounces off my set-up. Stingerz are easy to I install, set up, and adjust, and they’re crazy light as well as strong.. Honestly, now I wonder why any hammock camper would use anything else… Great going, Dutch!

Just got my Dutch Bling last night, couldn’t wait to try it out. Spliced both my hammock ridge line and adjustable continuous ridgeline as per instructions from ultimatehang.com and set it up. It all worked awesome. Thanks again!

I love this little guy. Makes setting up the tarp a lot easier and quicker. It’s also smaller and lighter than I was anticipating. Thanks Dutch!!

One of my favorite hardware options for rigging a hammock tarp is the DutchWare Stingerz™
One of my favorite hardware options for rigging a hammock tarp is the DutchWare Stingerz™. These titanium clips weight a scant 0.25 oz. (7 g.) for the pair and are easy to use on any tarp. I drew this diagram to show how I use Stingerz in the field. I splice or tie one end of my line (again, braided mason line), take the line around the tree and back to the Stingerz to create the “V” for the hammock suspension.
The Stingerz also feature the “stinger” where you can catch the line and pull back for a 2:1 mechanical advantage to get the tarp line taut. Finish by wrapping the line once or twice around the “antenna.” I find that once around the antenna is sufficient to hold the line. I store my Stingerz with the line separate from my tarp as I tend to switch tarps depending on the trip and I can easily clip on the Stingerz to any tarp thanks to the mini carabiner end.

Love this for my tarp tie-downs. Makes setting up and taking down as simple as unwinding a bite in a line.

I love using the stingerz for my tarp. Super fast, super light, no knots to tie and untie, and it looks sleek too.
John (verified owner) –
Great product
Love the stinger for my tarp ridgeline. My friend wanted the same set up as me so I ordered him one of these, a dutch hook and 50′ of zing-it. I much prefer this as I can quickly and easily adjust the position of the tarp from one side and lock it in place.
Kerry (verified owner) –
A brilliant design that is also a pleasure to use
There’s almost certainly no easier way to connect your tarp to a support. I know a number of knots, but this is one application, especially in the dark and/or rain, where I don’t want to fiddle about, depending on my aging memory. Wrap the support, apply mechanical advantage, wrap the antennae once (twice if you’re feeling insecure), and you’re done.

So, a little confused on how this works. Does it take away the ridgline that would run across the entire tarp? And if so, do you use this on both sides of the tarp? Or how i sthe other sied supose to work? Kinda new to the hammock community, I have learned that there is really no right or worng way, just crurious on how others hung their tarps useing this system!

Check out this link and I believe it will explain on how to use them. They are pretty simplistic.

If you are using different tarps or constantly changing your tarp configuration then this is for you. It saves cordage by just clipping to the tie out you need at the time. Dutchwear is all about speed,simplicity,and weight savings. They always seem to get it right on all of those fronts. You will not regret buying any of the dutchwear you need.

I’m intimidated by knots. I want to learn, but it’s not easy for me. These stingerz make tying up the tarp so easy. Now I don’t feel I have to be all “bushcrafty” to be outside enjoying nature. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

I bought a pair of these a couple months ago to use for my hammock tarp, and found them so easy to use that i just bought 2 pair of them spliced for my 2 daughter’s hammock tarps. We used them last night and they were able to put up their own tarps! They are 13 and 10! these are great!

I bought this as a recommendation and bought more. Simplified my life without additional knots or prusiks. Light and strong. Easily sliceable. I’m asking for more as a Christmas gift.

Is it possible to choose the red Zing-It (not yellow) for this?

Yes, please put this in the notes of your order.

Dutch just can’t miss. I love these Stingerz. They make it super easy to rig a tarp. I have my Winter Dream 12 in a double end stuff sack with a snake skin over the tarp. Just a quick connection on one end and then walk my tarp to the other tree an viola! Tarp is rigged. Breaking camp down is just as simple. No fuss, no mess.
I highly recommend a pair of these, and one pair is all you’ll need because they are so darn easy to swap from tarp to tarp.
PETER SIMPSON (verified owner) –
can these be configured with longer than 12′ spliced on?

Sorry for my first comment but this replaced my Dutchware Gear continuous ridgeline and my UGQ continuous ridgeline. All I have to to is wrap and snap. My setup and takedown just got simplified. Thanks Dutchware Gear. I’m 100% pleased.
Ian Fornshell (verified owner) –
Totally practical and awesome. Can’t go wrong with the genius gear that Dutch comes up with!

Stingers are really easy to use AND super light weight. I’ve tried other methods of hanging my tarp but really gravitate toward these. I have them on all of my tarps with about 13ft of zing it. I found that is a great length for most cases. I’ve had some instances with large trees where 13ft wasn’t long enough. Because of those cases I’ve added a second set of Beatle buckles to my hammock suspension so that I can tie my tarp to my hammock suspension.

After a challenging experience about a year ago with trying a traditional ridgeline setup in the dark, exhausted, in the 35 deg rain; I’ve replaced all of my ridgelines with a pair of spliced Stingerz. The Stingerz pack easily while remaining attached to my sleeved tarp, and set-up mindlessly and efficiently every time.
efehler (verified owner) –
I love these! I’ve tried lots of methods to rig a tarp, and these are the BEST!
Stingerz with the pre-attached leads are fast and easy! And they make it easy to center the tarp. Don’t let the CRL folks brainwash you about that! :=)
Also, this method provides a full length “V” on both ends of the tarp.
And they’re easy to switch from one tarp to another.
If you have a tarp, you should definitely have a pair of Stingerz!

I love the stingers and they are the easiest little device to hang a ridgeline. I can’t count the times I took my hammock down in the rain and the longest time was spent on unknotting the ridgeline. No more or that. No more knots. Got the singers with the attached lash it. So easy!
janegillette –
These have been an absolute godsend. It is so simple to set up my tarps now, especially when you use the cord winders in addition. Simple to set up, adjust anytime, and take down.

When I was first starting out and researching what I wanted to buy for my set up several years ago, I opted for separate ridgelines on the advice of YouTubers Shug and Schill Brothers. Every time I attended a hang with other hammockers, I was dissed somewhat for my choice with them insisting that a continuous was so much “easier”. So……… I caved and bought a continuous ridgeline set up in my third year of hammocking. Well, after a couple of trial runs in the backyard it went on Hammock Forums for sale. I hated it. Naysayers claim it’s so difficult to get your tarp centered over your hammock. NO !! Just drape the tarp over the ridgeline or lay the tarp in the snakeskins in the hammock with and equal amount hanging over the ends of the hammock. It may require some tweaking but it’s not difficult. Stingerz and Lash It are THE only way to go.
rsebille1203 (verified owner) –
By far the easiest way to hang a tarp and be able to adjust if needed. Super lightweight and strong.
Already sent pictures to all my hang buddies and told them these were an absolute necessity.

This is a great product. Just be careful that 1.75 zing It is a bit dicey when when Linlocs are involved

I was using a continuous line tarp set up, but I wanted a simpler and lighter, so I bought two Stingerz with zing it. I am very happy with this product.

I have tried many different tools in my search for the ideal way to hang my tarp, and I finally found it with the Stingerz. The previous tools I tried all required some kind of knot or creating a bite on a taught line, which made the process uncomfortably difficult. The Stingerz allows for a quick and easy clip, then hook and pull to tighten, then a simple tie off. My search is over. Highly recommended.
