In this episode of The Hammock Hangers Podcast, Skunkape, Pheonix, Kory from Majestic Hammock, and the legendary Shug gather to relive the incredible experience of HangCon 2025! With nearly 600 guests in attendance, this year’s event was bigger and better than ever.

We chat about how the event unfolded, the amazing lineup of vendors, and the fantastic community of hammock hangers—including our Danish and Norwegian friends who made the journey to join us. Plus, we highlight how this year’s raffle ran smoother and faster than ever before!

But that’s not all—excitement is in the air as we gear up for our April trip to Denmark for the 2nd annual HangCon Europe and the Danish Outdoor Festival. We can’t wait to reconnect with our European hammock family and dive into another unforgettable adventure!

Grab your hammock, kick back, and join us for this fun-filled conversation.

This week we have one of the OG's from the hammocking community join us to talk about everything from how he got started in hammock camping, to the 3rd edition of his very popular book on everything about hammocks, called The Ultimate Hang.

Yes, I am talking about none other than, Derek Hansen.

I'm sure a good number of you have bought and read one of the first editions to his great book that dives deep into the do's and do not's, the in's and out's of hammocks. And now he has his 3rd edition which has a lot of new updates in it.

Derek, Pheonix and I, also talk a little bit about HangCon 2025, since at the time of the release of this episode, all 3 of us are hanging out and having a blast at the event.
