Glad I found this thread. I hadn't heard of this brand until I was searching craigslist for used camping gear the other day. These are always advertised on craigslist...in may area anyway.

I found them advertised on CL also. I ordered a custom color combination on their website. Got a matching day pack with it. I have only used it for day trips and loafing so far but I like what I have seen.
I just Permetherin (SP?) treated my TTTM and its bugnet and shall be headed to the Merchants Millpond hang next weekend with it. I shall see how it does there. I also got the TTTM "Pre-tied ropes" to hang it with. I was a bit apprehensive about using rope but they are doubled up and seemed wide enough. I am a pretty big guy myself, 270 pounds, and so far I have not seen any evidence of the ropes doing any damage to trees. I will be keeping an eye out though.

CoreyR how is the TTTM treating you?
Great!, In fact, I went back and ordered a TTTM Double. I did replace the TTTM fly with a Hennessy Hex though. I really think the TTTM one is more of a "sunshade" than a serious rainfly and it provides NO privacy at all. It is just a notional thingy, sort of up there above the hammock to screen the sun.
The bug net seems good BUT I have yet to actually use it in the field, only in the backyard practicing. I do not care for the fact that I must string what amounts to a second ridgeline just for the bugnet but it is a complete enclosure and it zips shut. I like that. I just never seem to need it. I permeretherine EVERYTHING!

I did add a ridge-line to my TTTM. It did not come with one but it helps get the sag right. I used 550 cord, Nite-Ize S-biners and a liberty mountain guyline adjuster.
