I got back from Hangcon Saturday evening and really wish I could have stayed longer.
This year, I was finally able to make it to Hangcon. Unfortunately, I was only able to stay one evening 20240111_175435.jpg(sorry it was upside down)but it was an amazing time still. I met so many great people and a few great puppies too!! For those of you who may be a long ways away, here's how I did it and made it super fun.
Instead of flying with my backpack, I used a huge duffle bag that I could stuff everything in. After arriving at the airport and getting my car, I stopped by the closest walmart on the way to Hangcon and grabbed a gallon of water and a can of fuel for my stove. From Orlando it only takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to camp which has a really fun entrance. There was a staff member sitting at the beginning of the camp to give you directions which were super easy to follow. 20240112_151242.jpg20240112_151248.jpg
There are a ton of trees. Let me say that again, there are a ton of trees to hang from. I'm not sure how far camp goes, but there were a lot of hammocks up and it did not take me too long to find many suitable trees to hang from. 20240112_161911.jpgLove my new Superior Shelter from Superior Gear. It rained a lot Friday evening and I was super dry all night.
Once I was all set up, I went and visited all of the vendors that I could. 20240112_172503.jpg20240113_095359.jpg20240112_152037.jpg20240112_174013.jpg20240113_095357.jpg20240113_095440.jpg20240112_184016.jpg20240112_184335.jpg 20240112_175627.jpg I bought a few things from several of the vendors there including a new ground cloth from Walhalla Hammocks and a new hammock from Majestic Hammocks. The next morning was a super quick tear down, gave my half canister of fuel (it's only $5 at the store) and then a quick trip back to the airport.
If you have never been to Hangcon, I highly suggest the trip!!!!!!!!
