  • Episode #75 - Stephanie Arends (Riding Out A Hailstorm And Tornado In A Cave)
    Jun 28 2024

    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.

  • Episode #72 - Skunkape, Pheonix, & Shug. ( Post HangCon Europe Chat )
    May 17 2024

    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.
