The hangers in Illinois and Wisconsin said goodbye to our hammock camping buddy, Mark, today. He died of a heart attack while sleeping at the age of 63.
He was one of the biggest Chicago Bears fans and was the inspiration behind the infamous Packer/Bear hang of 2016.

Mark was well-known for his camp cooking. Saturday morning breakfasts of sausage & gravy over biscuits were one of his chef calling cards.
He was one of our turkey deep-fryers for our annual SprinterGiving hang.
Mark was a regular attendee of the Windy City Hangers Annual Winter Hang, any Da Shack hang, SprinterGiving, and any hang at the I&M canal.
We will remember your love of food, cast iron, and new hammock gear. The loss of you creates a hole in our hearts which we will need to fill with much sausage & gravy to make any of this "bear"-able. Thanks for all the good times!
