Hang Your Own Hang Podcast - Episode 13 (Cold Weather Chat with Shug, Fronkey, Bic, CryOTheWild)

**captaincoupal** · 10-03-2016, 06:13

After producing a hammock camping podcast for a year, we bring you a very special anniversary episode! Jonathan and Mark get together some of the record holders in cold weather camping for an extended round table, just in time for the winter months. Shug, Fronkey, Bic, and CryOTheWild (also known as Nick of the Woods) chat about getting warm and keeping warm, some of their “fails” in winter camping, and even share a few hints about peeing in the woods (hint: it’s cold at night). We finish with some sound advice from each of the campers about why winter camping, and especially cold weather camping, is such a great idea.

After an extended chat with the guys, Mark and Jonathan discuss some of the Acronyms that many newbies might not be familiar with when they start talking with hammock campers, and review some of their own experience with them.

Acknowledgements go this month to 2 episode sponsors – Haute Hammock, a fine purveyor of hammock-related t-shirt designs, and Yukon Outfitters, a US-based manufacturer of hammock camping gear, along with a line of outdoors-related products. Listen to our episode for a discount code on your next order!

Show Notes:Here is a great compilation of acronyms that Just Jeff, one of the “old timers” in Hammock Camping, put together: http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...mmock-Acronyms

Here are a couple of videos from the 2016 Frozen Butt Hang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDd1Hc3_v8Q and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lppx5x22_kw

Thanks. I'm seeing a few issues with Apple not showing this episode yet, I'll update here when it starts showing up.

Hey there...the second Frozen Butt Hang video is not a MN Frozen Butt Hang video....just a heads up.
It is the SW Ohio Hang.

Really enjoyed this episode, fellas! Coincidentally, I just returned from a cold weather trip yesterday, and wish I would've heard this before heading out. Definitely could've used some tips from it on this trip. As always though, we survived. As mentioned in the podcast, once you experience some of the discomforts from being ill-prepared, you typically won't make those same mistakes again.

True dat! A semi-sleepless night is a great tutor.

Since this was a new podcast to me, I just started from episode 0. So far half way through episode 1 wish shug jibber-jabbing. A pitty the sound is a bit soddy, otherwise really awesome podcast
