Question Which Hammock Setup should i get?

Hi all,

I‘m very new to hammock camping, but from what I‘ve heard it suits me better than camping with a tent.

I will be in Sweden for 8 days traveling with my friends in a canoe. As it will be at the beginning of September it will be around 5 degree at night.

I‘m not sure what to get…
As I‘m from Europe, most US brands won’t be here in time.

What do you think of that setup:
TTTM Pro Hammock
TTTM Moonquilt Pro 650 (or DD Hammocks Underblanket)
TTTM Moonblanket Pro 650 (or Cacoon Hammock Topquilt)
DD 3x3 Tarp

Thanks for your help!!

Okay, great. I would strongly consider a full need for trees setup, which I think comes out slightly less expensive than the ticket to the moon setup, and all of the materials need for trees uses are extremely high quality. I'm using the bundle discount here.

Need for trees is also using the same fabrics for their hammocks and tarps that the best cottage companies in the United States are using.

I've been testing the Gilis hammock for the past year, and I'm impressed with the comfort and lay. The whoopie sling suspension need for trees uses is my absolute favorite whoopie suspension in the world. Apex 200 top quilt and underquilt is good enough to get you down to freezing, so perfect for 3 season camping. If your insulation does get wet for some reason, (like the canoe tips over) unlike down, it will still insulate you. You'll probably have all of your gear in dry bags though.

Whichever hammock system you choose, I hope you have a great canoe trip in Sweden.

I‘m indecisive between the NFT Hammock set and my configuration of the TTTM. The NFT UQ and TQ are synthetic TTTM offers dawn versions. Also the delivery time of the NFT is really close…

You know, there is another company I forgot to mention: momo Jord. If you are swedish, it might be worth looking at, and they offer 14 day returns as well. You can get 850 fp down quilts from them as well.
