  • Our guest this week is Stephanie Arends.

    Stephanie is the miCHILIgan group hang events coordinator and will soon be taking over from "Karla with a K." She is working on a YouTube channel focusing on camping and traveling for "non-traditional" campers. Meaning, tips and tricks for camping and traveling if you are disabled, overweight, solo, or advancing age. As of now she only has 1 full video and a couple of shorts, but she has other videos in the works around this topic coming soon.

    As someone who is overweight and disabled, she quit camping for a long time. But when she found hammock camping, she found that it was her way to be able to get back outside and enjoy the outdoors!

    So, in this episode we will be talking a lot on those topics, plus Stephanie has an interesting story about how her and her husband had to ride out a hailstorm and tornado in a cave while they were out on a camping trip.

  • Join Skunkape, Pheonix, and The Lord of Lollygag himself, Shug, as they recap their travel over to Denmark for the Danish Outdoor Festival and the first ever, HangCon Europe.

    With the event hitting record numbers, 26,000 people coming to the event and over 300 hammocks hanging in the woods for the weekend, there were a lot of people for us all to talk to and hang out with.

    We all had such a great time getting to meet all the new people and to learn about how they do hammock camping over there.

    From the new family that we made to the food and sights of Denmark, we all had a great time and can't wait until next April when we head back over for the 2nd annual HangCon Europe in 2025.

  • This is a special episode that Pheonix and I recorded live while at HangCon 2024, so if the audio sounds a little different than usual, that would be why.

    We decide that we wanted to do a live, in person recording at HangCon so that some of our guests could participate and ask questions if they wanted to. Some did, but most just sat and listened to Pheonix and I talk.

  • This week Pheonix is back with me and he has a special guest with him. He took a trip up to Virginia to spend a little time with a childhood friend, his beast friend to be exact, James Lawrie, and so he drug him on this weeks episode so we could all chat for awhile.

    They tell us when and how they met, why they became best friends, and why they refer to themselves as twins.

    Before we hear all of that though, of course you have to hear Pheonix and I talk about HangCon since it is only 6 days away from the release of this episode.

    So let's get on with it so we can hear from James and AJ..

  • Our guest this week is the Founder & CEO of Tentsil, Alex Shirley-Smith. Tentsile is a blend of both a hammock and a tent. You are suspended in the air between trees like a hammock, but you have the space and room of a tent that can hold multiple people.

    We have a nice chat with Alex, and hear about his passion for nature and the outdoors, along with how the idea for Tentsile was born.

    We also talk about all of the great gear that they make and how modular it is.

    Also, Tentsile is one of our donating partners of HangCon, and Alex has sent in one of the Trillium 3 person hammocks for the raffle, plus he has sent me one of the Stingrays to set up at the event for you to see and try out. There will also be a QR code that you can scan to get 30% off everything in your cart.

    Let's get on with the episode so that you can hear more from Alex.

  • This is our 3rd episode that was recorded on-site at the Palmetto State Hangers, Fall Sprawl.

    Our guest this week is David Hughes, or some of you may know him better as Phantom Grappler. David has been in the hammock community for quite some time now, and is the one that took over the Yates Hang so that it would keep going.

    David is also a master of knots, so if you have been to some of the other hangs around and Phantom is there, I am sure he is giving a knot tying class somewhere.

    Lets get on with our chat with, Phantom Grappler.
