A Hammock Camping Podcast: Not just for tree-dwellers anymore

I truly have given this a try but sorry, it’s just not as enjoyable as it was with Mark and Johnathan. And I miss “hanging with Gresh and Spiguyver”.
It’s called Hang Your Own Hang for a reason, and that reason is hammocks. Just not enough hammock conversation!
Sorry guys, but I have to unsubscribe.

Just not the same podcast

Enjoying the guest interviews and knowledge you share each month. Keep up the good work.

Awesome job!!

Episode 56 – Derek Tillotson

In this episode, Jonathan and Mark have an amazing (and surprisingly long) chat with Rhys Hora, a class of ’17 AT Thru-hiker and contributor at the online hiking blogging magazine The Trek. We discuss his experiences from his first dose of reality and amazing sights on the trail to his love of his hammocks and their clear superiority over tents, especially on the AT. They also have an interesting conversation about their first aid kits on the trail, and how they’re different for different purposes. Finally, We keep Rhys on to discuss the idea that it might be bad for nature to enjoy nature in the trending topics segment. In our monthly segment, “Hanging Out with Gresh and Spiguyver”, the guys talk about food and different options on the trail. Show Notes: The video “As It Happens: Pacific Crest Trail” can be found by clicking on this link. Here’s a site that you can use to rent a SPOT locator (you can google one too). If you want to look at how TreeFool builds his first aid kit, here’s his web page on it. As always, we always invite your comments and suggestions on our Facebook page – like us there at https://www.facebook.com/hyohpodcast and join the conversation – we love the questions we have been getting for Mark and Gresh.

Episode 42 – Walk With Me

In this episode, Jonathan and Mark have a chance to chat with Heather and Josh Legler, hosts of The First 40 Miles podcast, a podcast that introduces beginners to backpacking and backpacking skills. Earlier in the summer, we challenged Heather and Josh to try out hammock camping for the first time and then do a podcast episode chatting about their experience as first-timers. Heather and Josh also hosted an episode about Hammock Camping on their own podcast, which includes more about their experiences as well as a review of the gear that they used. You can find that podcast episode here. Heather and Josh share their experience sleeping overnight in their hammocks, including the positive and negative points of working through hammock camping for the first time, getting the bugs out, and their thoughts about going camping again. After discussing their first night, Jonathan and Mark talk with Heather and Josh about their different experiences backpacking and camping with kids. Mark and Jonathan also discuss full-time hanging at home and the advantages or disadvantages of it, along with some of the risks of not doing it right.

Episode 12 – First Hang!

Derek Hansen

In this episode, we get a chance to interview one of the most notable people in hammock camping, Derek Hansen, the author of The Ultimate Hang: An Illustrated Guide to Hammock Camping. Derek shares a bit about his experience hanging as a boy, and why he has grown from a participant in the community of hammock campers to a leader in introducing people to the activity. Derek also tells us how he feels about testing cheap hammocks, using tree straps, and the future of hammock camping as not only a great way to camp (and sleep), but also as a solution to decreasing our impact on the outdoors. Finally, we get to learn a little more about his upcoming new book, “The Ultimate Hang 2”. You can also learn more about Derek and read many of his reviews or watch his videos at his website, theultimatehang.com. It’s winter in Buffalo, and Jonathan and Mark also talk about some ways they have found to keep warm, and what to do if you feel like you’re getting cold.

Episode 4 – Derek Hansen: Worth a Thousand Words

In this episode, Jonathan and Mark chat with another hiking dad, Tim Watson, who spends his time documenting his experiences hiking and cycling on YouTube when he’s not spending time with his family. After some friendly banter about not using an underquilt (spoiler alert), there is some interesting discussion about Tim’s gear and then his Ramen Bomb. Finally, everyone finishes up with a quick comment about their hygiene kits.  After the interview with Tim, Jonathan and Mark chat about powering their gadgets on the trail, and we finish up the podcast with Spiguyver answering a couple of great questions on the “Hanging Out” segment.

Episode 46 – It’s Not About the Weight

For our eighth episode, we kick it up a notch – a notch high up in a tree, that is. Jonathan and Mark interview Logan Spader, also known as “TreeFool”, and find out why he loves to hang way up in a tree. We learn about his climbing techniques, tricks for staying safe and warm, and even get some sage advice for those of us who don’t like to get out of our sleeping bags in the middle of the night. Logan also shares with us his concerns for the world he’s bringing new life into, and what he’s doing to try to make it a better place. After chatting with Logan, Mark and Jonathan discuss hammock stands, and how they allow anyone who wants to hammock camp without trees the opportunity to get off of the ground when there aren’t any other options. Finally, Jonathan and Mark have the first of several quick chats with Tyler Conlin from Ultimate Hammocks. He’s bringing a brand-new lightweight hammock suspension to market on Kickstarter and we’re going to follow him through his process.

Episode 30 – Being Comfortable Outside

If you’re looking for a bit more Hammock Bling in your life, Dutch is the guy to see. Mark and Jonathan chat with Dutch a little about his adventures, and about the things that influence his design and products. You can find more about Dutch and his products at http://www.dutchwaregear.com. Also – buy vs. make?

Here’s the thread on hammock forums on the tableclothfactory.com DIY hammocks, and here’s a link to Derek Hansen’s video on how to make this into a hammock. For those nerds who want to learn about the whoopie sling being used for arborist work, there are some videos out there. Here’s one that shows an arborist’s whoopie sling in action. Don’t forget to milk your bury’s! Finally, a link to the famous hammock hang calculator, created by Derek Hansen.

Episode 50 – Meet the New Hosts!

This month, Mark and Jonathan get a rare chance – we begin our interview Cheryl Mitchell from TiggzCraftWorkz, who developed a combination hiking pole and hammock stand called the “NoGround” system, and then we continue to interview both her and her new partner, Todd Fahrner. Cheryl and Todd have started up a company, Tensa Outdoor, and have perhaps one of the most innovative portable hammock stands we’ve seen in a long time. We discuss both the NoGround system and continue to talk with both of them with their new tensegrity-based solution they’ve dubbed a tensahedron. After chatting about the challenges of bootstrapping a capital-intensive business, we chat about using hiking poles (of course). After chatting with Cheryl and Todd, we discuss some of the ways that hammock gear can be used as multi-purpose gear. Finally, Jonathan reviews his new chameleon sidecar attachment for his Chameleon Hammock. Show Notes: Here is the link for a howto video for making an improvised tarp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Hm611ozqo If you’re interested in the Garmin InReach, you can purchase it on Amazon.com. Here’s a link to MacIntyre’s X-Tensigrity stand video. Learn about a caltrop from this wikipedia article. Learn more about tensegrity systems from this wikipedia article.

Episode 43 – Going Underground

This episode, Jonathan and Mark get a chance to interview an innovator in this small industry, Tom Hennessy of Hennessy Hammocks. Starting with a military surplus jungle hammock as a boy, and growing up as an avid hiker, Tom found the comfort of hammocks as a youth. After losing his hammock to a “friend” in college and proceeding into an industrial design career, Tom began prototyping a replacement for his long-lost hammock in the early 90’s. After 6 years and dozens of prototypes, he introduced his original camping hammock to REI in 1999, which was an instant hit, selling more than any other individual product ever marketed by REI.  As an industrial designer from a time when people continued to make improvements to a product to make it better, Tom continues to tweak his product, finding new and creative ways to solve problems. Additionally, his experiences as an ultralight hiker inspire solutions that solve multiple problems at once, like the “cat cape” poncho rain gear, or the water bottle-filling rain fly tensioners. Additional product design improvements like the side zip hammocks for those who don’t want the bottom entry and the super shelter for keeping warm come from his customers and supporters in the hammockforums.net website. Besides hammocks, which is a second career for Tom, he shares a little about his experiences traveling, sailing, and generally trying to make the world a better place than he found it. Along with a great conversation with Tom Hennessy, Mark and Jonathan talk about their experiences staying warm, and tell a little about what works and what doesn’t for them, including an inflatable pad, the Hennessy SuperShelter, and down underquilts.

Episode 2 – On the right side of the window.

This month, Jonathan gets a chance to interview Shawn Crawford, also known as Sintax77, in person while on a business trip in Philadelphia, PA. Jonathan and Mark chat with Shawn about his experiences backpacking, camping, doing videography, and his move from traditional tent camping to hammock camping. Shawn gives some helpful hints on how to prepare for and bring your spouse camping, and we discuss the merits of a top quilt versus using a sleeping bag. You can find Sintax77 here at his website, or else be entertained by checking out his videos here, at his youtube channel. Following onto the interview, Jonathan and Mark discuss the effects of being a “cold sleeper” and a “warm sleeper” on how a hammock camper might choose their gear for winter camping.

Episode 5 – Sintax77: Weekend Adventurer

In this episode, Jonathan and Mark get a chance to talk to a bunch of folks who have experience managing group hangs in their region. A big thanks to Addam Wesneski, Stacy Adams, Kristal Bentley, and Juan Quinones, all of whom were a great help to learn the ins and outs of doing a great job hosting a group of hangers. After the interview, almost all of us decided that the fall is a great season for camping unless you live in Southern California. After the panel discussion, Mark and Jonathan (and our new host Chris) chat with Shug about his experience carrying lighter and heavier loads, and the decisions that lead to carrying more weight for more comfort. Finally Gresh and Spiguyver have some good and novel ideas for handling the condensation we all experience when using a bugnet or top cover in cold weather. Show Notes:– If you want to find a group hang in your area, click here to see the forum in hammock forums.net– Check out Shug’s frost bib in this cool YouTube video.– If you have a Chameleon, you can try out Dutch’s new Breathalyzer. As always, we always invite your comments and suggestions on our Facebook page – like us there at https://www.facebook.com/hyohpodcast and join the conversation – we love the questions we have been getting for Mark and Gresh.
