    Dutch on the news

    So there was a terrible Fox21 news story done on hammocking a few weeks ago and a bunch of us messaged the anchor complaining. The interview featured a park ranger that was completely misinformed and biased against hammocks. Fox21 was very responsive to the complaints and did a follow up on the topic with a local outfitter and it really turned out great. They managed to hit all the high points and drop Dutch's name a few times.


    Well done Fox21!!

    I would have linked to the original video, but it looks like it was removed.

    I would rather be in the woods... my dog would rather be in the pool. My wife thinks we are both nuts.
