A backpack with a backstory Ticket to the Moon hates waste. So much, in fact, that they refuse to create any. Every piece of fabric left over after making their hammocks, quilts and tarps gets collected and stored until they can come up with a good way to use it. Which is exactly what this is: The Mini Backpack from Ticket to the Moon is an eco-friendly and convenient backpack that packs down to the size of an orange when not in use. Coming with 3 convenient pockets and a 15-litre internal capacity, it makes for an ideal day bag when travelling or backpacking — all while being positively good for our environment.

Whether you're a seasoned tree-dweller or just hammock-curious, big-hearted Balinese brand Ticket to the Moon makes the best nylon parachute hammocks out there. Which they should, really, when you consider that these sultans of swing have been in the game since the 90s. Lightweight, quick-drying and machine-washable, their hammocks are handmade to the highest standards. In fact, the only real trouble with a Ticket to the Moon hammock is persuading yourself to roll out of it and set out on an adventure – but fortunately the speedy S-hook hanging system and specially designed pack sack make it a breeze to take your hammock with you on your travels. In a world of outsourcing, murky supply chains and exploitative manufacturing processes, Ticket to the Moon’s approach is refreshingly straightforward. All their stuff is designed and produced in-house at their Bali HQ – where the folk making your hammocks get good salaries, decent working hours and pensions, plus a cut of the annual profits. And it must be a pretty sweet place to work because they reckon no-one's handed in their notice since 1996. Materials are locally sourced and often reclaimed or upcycled, while for more than 15 years they've also been funding a foundation that works with indigenous Sumbanese Kodi people in Indonesia to help improve their living conditions and resilience. All of which is nice to think about as you swing gently from side-to-side in the sunshine. My traveling companion, love it! -Eric D., Verified Buyer
