Ticket to the moon?

[ierinys]

Hey guys,
I was perusing the brands of hammocks listed on the main forum page and I noticed that "Ticket To the Moon" was not listed. Are they really unpopular or something?

From what I've seen they are just ENO style parachute nylon hammocks. Haven't really looked at any of their other gear if they even have any. Have not read anything negative in terms of products or service.

i got an eno ,a dutchware 11 ft 1.6 ( or 1.9 cant remember ) argon, a few home made and my tttm is my most comfy go to hammock ,I like the width of it got the tarp and bug net at Costco 2 years ago on a whim ,and love it ,not fussed about the tarp, to small for me ,but I car camp ,I might have to try 1 of dutches new wide hammocks, for me I could not get comfy in the narrower hammocks ,and I am not that big ,5.8" 200lbs .Ticket To the Moon is as good as any other mass produced gear ,,just change out there rope ends and rope tree straps for some real tree straps

Afaik sub-forums are created if there is a demand for them. Meaning, in order to get a forum dedicated to Ticket to the Moon, there need to be way more threads about their gear. Since TTTM is just another parachute hammock, I don't see this happening. They are better than ENO in my opinion, though, because they offer more generous dimensions. In Europe, I would recommend them to a beginner since we have very few choices over here. But in the US there are so many great cottage gear alternatives that often are cheaper and better, that I can't think of a good reason of buying them there.

Years ago TTTM was an active topic of discussion. They had their champions just like the rest. However, the choice and options were far more limited. I haven't compared sizes, but the Dutch hammocks are significantly cheaper if I understand correctly and are back by Dutch himself, which for those who know him, says a lot.

Just to be very clear, this is posted at the top of the vendor section area of HF

These forums are not a seal of approval by Hammock Forums. The sub-forums are simply for organizational purposes.

HF utilizes the vendor sub forums as a way to allow the members to easily search/find information related to vendors who have a lot, and that means a LOT, of posts on HF and as a way for the MODS to better deal with the influx of threads for a vendor. That a vendor has or does not have a vendor specific forum should not be viewed as an endorsement by HF nor is it a marketing tool for a vendor. It is just an organizational method to assist both HF and our user base.

I sleep in one every night at home, so I'd say they are pretty ok. Just wish I had an apartment with better suspension opportunities so I could get a bigger version.
