[Floridahanger]

If you went to HangCon 2020, please give us a Trip Report. Send us your pictures and video.

So many folk pitched in to make this a wonderful outing. Thanks to all of you. Bocce Ball and Cornhole were very fun. For Bocce Ball, they were chasing the little white ball all over the place. For Cornhole, I had sunk a few in a row making it look like I knew what I was doing.

It was very cool with both of these events happening near the firepit and outdoor kitchen. If anyone else has any other games for next year, I would love to hear about them.

And final note; a hanger came up to me and said she liked when there was board with activities listed like kayaking and hiking adventures and their times.
Good suggestion. We had this at Doe lake a few times. May help persons get to do other things.

You got it, Rick.

*Note to self*
-Get dry erase board with daily activities list and leaders per activity. One for the registration table and one for the chow line entrance.
-Also, make board with Florida Group Hang outings and upcoming dates. 2 same as above.

This was our first HANGCON and I just have to say WOW!! What an incredible community. Thanks everyone for welcoming the "new vendor". Thanks to all the organizers and cooks/anyone who helped with food - you all really made this a special event. We'll be back for 2021!

I'm the lucky man who won your complete Hammock Tarp and Pole setup during the raffle. The following weekend at the Grayson Hang in VA I set it up in 23 degree windy weather. It was so comfortable my niece slept in it for 12 hours during her first hang. Great quality gear. Thanks so much for your contribution to HangCon.

Just finished off a plate of beignets made the way Gumbo taught me at Hangcon. My wife decided they were going to be her lunch.

Awesome to hear!!

Thank you everyone for all the trip reports and the pics! Keep'em coming!!

Y'all be like Joyride and acknowledge the vendors if you won some of their kit. We love our vendors, and saying thank you is the least we can do for all they do for HangCon.

And thank you everyone for embracing Phoenix as the new Sheriff at HangCon! Y'all have no idea how much Gumbo and I want to come and just be a couple of faces in the crowd at HangCon 2021. I'm certain it's going to be the best yet!!

I took home a bunch of stuff, Batchstovez ultralight cook that got tested in my fireplace. Thanks Sam.

I got one of the Sierra Designs gift certificate that I used to buy a little table.

I also got a Lifestraw it seems cool but can't be used to filter water except while actually drinking from it.

Of course, I couldn't leave without a few jars of Shine. Thanks Sugarland Shine.
