yukonlogoThis month’s episode brings us Adam and Preston, the co-founders of the successful brand of hammocks and accessories, Yukon Outfitters. After discussing Adam and Preston’s experience in hiking and backpacking, Jonathan and Mark get a chance to ask about how they got into business, and how they progressed from a low-cost brand on Woot! to a national brand manufactured in the U.S., in their home state of Tennessee. Finally, Preston and Adam share a few stories about their experiences, talk about making new products and doing DIY in a factory, and then share some thoughts with our listeners about what’s important to them – family and the outdoors.

Acknowledgements go this month to 2 episode sponsors – Haute Hammock, a fine purveyor of hammock-related t-shirt designs, and Yukon Outfitters, a US-based manufacturer of hammock camping gear, along with a line of outdoors-related products.
