Backpack Tent + Hammock Edit
The Respite

The Respite is a portable shelter designed by Ryan Heiser for people on the move. It easily transforms from a hammock when you need relaxation, to a tent when you need rest. Best of all, it conveniently folds into a lightweight backpack that is very easy to carry.
