Hang Your Own Hang Podcast - Episode 21 (Warbonnet Hammocks)

**captaincoupal** · 06-06-2017, 09:13

Wow, what a busy month! We start out with an interview of Brandon Waddy from Warbonnet Hammocks, in Evergreen Colorado. Starting camping as a teenager, a college friend introduced him to hammock camping, and the rest is a history that you get to hear about in this month’s podcast. After telling us about his business and his own personal backpacking kit, Mark and Jonathan chat with Brandon about the fun stuff we do in our downtime after arriving in camp.

Next, we move on to a discussion about the Amok Draumr and other 90 Degree hammocks, and some of the positives and negatives of this particular type of product line.

In this month’s new product review segment, Mark tells Jonathan about a prototype of the “HangTime Hook”, a ridgeline device holder designed to solve the problem of how to do in-hammock entertainment.

Finally, congratulations to Jacob Paquette, the winner of last month’s drawing for a Tato Gear Stove. Thanks everyone for participating and sharing your thoughts on our social media channels.

LOL I just went looking for Epsiode 21 last night right before going to sleep; I only missed it by a few hours.

Excellent episode, thanks. Been a Warbonnet fan for a long, long time and great to hear Brandon's story. I converted to a blackbird from a Hennessey as soon as they came out because, aye, a zipper, brilliant. That womb entry was horrible. I've tried just about every hammock vendor over the years and have come back full circle to Warbonnet with the ridgerunner. Again thanks, really enjoyed this one.

Thanks for the compliment! It was great to chat with Brandon, I think we spent more time chewing the fat off-mic as we did on-mic.

Yeah, sorry about that - I normally get this out on the first Monday of the month, Mark and I went backpacking over the weekend and I didn't do my last-minute editing on Saturday like I normally do.
