Moon Tarp

Keep the weather off

Hammock camping is one of the most comfortable ways to get your head down outdoors. Until the heavens open, that is. And lets face it, whether youre camping in a balmy Scottish woodland at the height of summer or watching the day end from the sun-beaten Cornish coastline, heavens door is perpetually ajar over the UK. Thats why we always pair our hammock with a trusty tarp to keep any rain off should it start to fall. And, for us, theres no better all-rounder for pairing with a TTTM hammock than the Moon Tarp. Delivering 250 cm by 250 cm of protection, its easily capable of keeping you and your gear dry, all while adding minimal bulk and weight to your setup. So you can just get out and go the minute it arrives, the Moon Tarp also comes pre-seam sealed for maximum protection, includes 8 carabiners for versatile hanging and 8 quick-release tension buckles for getting your set up just right.

• 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 Moons 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.

Perfect for unexpected rain
