Level up your wild camping adventures with the Ticket To The Moon Lightest Pro Hammock.
As keen outdoor adventures, we love any opportunity to experience nature in new ways. Hammock camping is something we’ve wanted to try for a while, especially after seeing some of the insane views on Ticket To The Moon’s Instagram page. So, to elevate our adventures to new heights, we teamed up with TTTM to review a camping hammock.
Ticket to the moon pro hammock review
First impressions of the hammock are that it is super lightweight, easy to put together and is more comfortable than I’d expected! Whilst this is the first hammock we’ve reviewed, comparing it to camping in a tent, it offers a surprisingly new perspective and more freedom when wild camping.
We decided to take the hammock to a spot in the woods with views of the Snowdon Massif, one of the three mountain groups in Snowdonia, north Wales. This spot was perfect for a night hammock camping, next to a lake for a morning dip, with not a soul in sight, and deep in nature.
The lightest pro hammock delivered a sublime nights’ sleep under the trees, enabling us to completely unplug and really hang loose in nature, with the gentle rocking motion. Hammock Camping provides the opportunity to get intimately connected to the planet, experiencing the tranquillity of sleeping in the wild. Whether by a lakeside, in a serene forest or next to a dreamy sea.
What are the benefits of hammock camping?
Hammock camping is great for anyone looking to experience the outdoors from a new perspective and embrace being closer to nature. This mindful movement is gaining rapid popularity amongst fastpackers, wild campers and adventure travellers who want to reenergise their outdoor experience and connect with nature without being bogged down by heavy equipment and gear.
Switching from a tent to a hammock is not about compromise – in fact, being lighter and easier to set up and carry, the floating experience of hammock camping transforms and elevates the experience of sleeping in the outdoors to a whole new level. No longer bound by the ground, with versatility to allow you to camp over roots, stumps and even wet ground, sleeping in a hammock means you can experience unmatched comfort whatever is beneath you. Infinitely more than just a place to sleep, equipped with your Hammock, you have a place to sit, relax, or even cook your food during trips into the backcountry.
