This month, Jonathan and Mark chat it out with Lance Smith of the Outlan Channel, a YouTube channel and blog. Lance is an active vlogger, documenting his trips and activities hammock camping with friends and family. He also discusses using this platform for education, and speaks out strongly against lightweight “gear shaming”. After that, everyone discusses how they became hammock camping advocates in the community (hint: we love it!).

After the interview, Mark and Jonathan discuss getting out and what holds us back.

In the new segment, “Hangin Out with Gresh and Spiguyver”, the guys try to answer a listener’s question about women’s safety on the trail.

Show Notes:

If you’d like to see the boys’ destroyed tarp, check out Spiguyver’s video here.

  1. Hey y’all, really enjoy your podcast. Thank you for bringing us new information to consider and gear to check out. With the cold temperatures y’all camp in, and with the desire to eliminate the “fiddle” factor I have been surprised y’all have not talked about the Evolution Hammock from Gear Hackers. I was lucky enough to get one of their 1st ones. If it’s something you haven’t seen yet I would encourage you to check it out. It’s the only integrated set up, I’ve seen, that has a fully integrated top and under quilt.
