This month, Jonathan and Mark invite Derek Hansen back to the podcast, having an extra-long discussion about the re-release of his compendium about hammock camping, “The Ultimate Hang”, as well as the history of hammock camping, DIY’ing hammocks and hammock gear, as well as his updated app for Android and IOS. Before we finish, we have a challenging conversation about advocacy and its role in hammock camping, and then finish up chatting up good reads to bring on the trail.

After an interesting conversation with Derek Hansen, Jonathan and Mark chat about snacking on the trail.

  1. The most important item to pass along to those interested in hammocking & hammock camping in where to find useful information. I always steer people to Hammock Forums, The Ultimate Hang, & of course your podcasts. With this information they can be well on their way to hanging in the trees.

    • I’d have to agree Dan. Just getting into hammock camping, especially if you aren’t out with someone more experienced, can be a little intimidating. I learned a lot from Shug and the other You Tube channels. It’s nice to have a visual when you are just starting out.
      Thanks for listening.
