We study the magneto-hydrodynamic tearing instability occurring in a doublecurrent sheet configuration when a guide field is present. This is investigatedby means of resistive relativistic magneto-hydrodynamic (RRMHD) simulations.Following the dynamics of the double tearing mode (DTM), we are able to computesynthetic synchrotron spectra in the explosive reconnection phase. The pulsarstriped wind model represents a site where such current sheets are formed,including a guide field. The variability of the Crab nebula/pulsar system, seenas flares, can be therefore naturally explained by the DTM explosive phase inthe striped wind. Our results indicate that the Crab GeV flare can be explainedby the double tearing mode in the striped wind region if the magnetizationparameter $\sigma$ is around $10^5$.
