TreePod

With only one hanging point and diameters of either four, five, or six, TreePod elevates the hammock experience in a luxurious yet hassle-free way. It’s a great nest to snuggle up in and watch the sunset mountain-side.

The vibrant print stands out in the crowd (of wild animals and foliage) and it has a good amount of compartments. It’s also comfortable to wear, despite being large, it is still lightweight. The waist belt and sternum strap can be removed for an even lighter backpack.
Hydro Flask
Going on outdoor adventures can be exhausting. That’s why a Hydro Flask can come in handy to stay hydrated during the long and winding trail.
