    HYOH Podcast - Episode 32 (Tensa Outdoor)

    This month, Mark and Jonathan get a rare chance – we begin our interview Cheryl Mitchell from TiggzCraftWorkz, who developed a combination hiking pole and hammock stand called the “NoGround” system, and then we continue to interview both her and her new partner, Todd Fahrner. Cheryl and Todd have started up a company, Tensa Outdoor, and have perhaps one of the most innovative portable hammock stands we’ve seen in a long time. We discuss both the NoGround system and continue to talk with both of them with their new tensegrity-based solution they’ve dubbed a tensahedron. After chatting about the challenges of bootstrapping a capital-intensive business, we chat about using hiking poles (of course). You can download and/or listen to this episode at https://www.hyohpodcast.com/tensa/ if you're not already subscribed to our podcast on your own podcast player.

    After chatting with Cheryl and Todd, we discuss some of the ways that hammock gear can be used as multi-purpose gear.

    Finally, Jonathan reviews his new chameleon sidecar attachment for his Chameleon Hammock.
