The Hammock Hangers Podcast Paul Collins

Welcome back, everyone. On this episode of the podcast, Pheonix talks more on his weight loss journey and tells us all of the ways that it has helped him with his hammocking and hiking, and a few ways that it has made it a little more challenging for him.
He also goes over some recent events that are happening in the hammocking community, as well as mentioning some of the hangs that are coming up in the near future.
And lastly, I go over the confirmed vendors that we will be having at HangCon so far. It has only been 1 week since I have sent out the emails to our vendors and already have around 30 confirmed, but I know there are a lot more on the way.
So make sure to listen to the podcast every other week, follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and also subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you can stay up to date on all of the happenings.

This weeks episode marks the start of second year of episodes on the podcast, so Pheonix and I thought it would be fun to look back on our first year of doing the podcast. We talk about some of the earlier episodes that we recorded,  how the podcast was born, some of our learning experiences, and what we have planned for the future of the podcast.

This weeks episode is a special milestone for The Hammock Hangers Podcast, as it is the 52nd, weekly episode. That is one whole year of all of you awesome people putting up with the sound of mine and Pheonix's voices. We both want to thank all of you for sticking with us each week and helping us grow.
Our guests this week are Heather Beck and Richard Nance, 2 of the board members of the Palmetto State Hangers group. This is the South Carolina hammock group that puts on Fall Sprawl, The Holiday Hang, Frozen Butt Hang, Spring Swing, and the Swamp Butt Hang each year. 
This week though we are going to introduce you to Richard Nance, which is the new President of the group, and we are also going to talk some about the 2023 Fall Sprawl hang coming up in October.
We hear about some of the classes and events that they will have goin on, along with hearing about some of the vendors that will be there set up for you talk to and buy gear from. 
We can't leave out talking about the raffle either, where you have a chance to win some really awesome gear from those vendors and others that have sent in gear donations. 
You will hear how all of the money that is raised from the raffle ticket sales don't go to the club, but goes to the state parks for a special event that they hold each year where they buy gear for families that have no idea what it's like being in the outdoors camping. So all of that money is going to a great cause.
If you would like to make a donation to help out that cause and help get a new family into nature, you can do that as well by sending money via PayPal (Friends & family) to palmettostatehangers21@gmail.com

Our guest this week is, Chris Haley. We chat for a while with Chris and hear a little bit about his hammocking journey and also about some of the hammocks and gear that he DIY's, which is pretty much all of it.
Below are some of the links where Chris got his ideas from for his DIY's.
After hearing some about Chris, we talk to him about the MidHHA hang in Pennsylvania, which he is an organizer for.
