In this weeks episode, Pheonix sits down with Jim and Russ who are the head organizers of the very first Bristol Hills Hammock Hang in New York. We talk about how Russ was able to get Jim into hammock camping with bare bones information and gear. That introduction would lead Jim into a new and better way of camping and bring him to the idea of doing his own hang. We also talk about the finer points of planning a hang from a new organizer perspective and discuss what to expect at the first Bristol Hills Hang, May 29th-31st 2026.

This episode of The Hammock Hangers Podcast was recorded live at HangCon 2026, and it delivered exactly what you'd expect from a live audience and zero filter.

Skunkape and Pheonix took the stage to answer questions submitted by HangCon guests, covering a wide range of topics—and stirring up a little trouble along the way. Skunkape once again tried to get Pheonix in hot water by pushing him to reveal just how much money he's spent on gear over the past several years. Some questions are dangerous for a reason.

Not to be outdone, both Skunkape and Pheonix managed to land themselves in even more trouble by initially failing to give proper credit where it was due. A much-deserved shoutout goes to Deanna and Dawn for the incredible amount of work, dedication, and sacrifices they make to help put HangCon together year after year.

This episode is full of live-crowd energy, laughs, honest moments, and a reminder that HangCon wouldn't be what it is without the support behind the scenes.

🎙️ Recorded live at HangCon 2026
🔥 Guest-submitted Q&A
😂 Gear spending gone wrong
❤️ Well-earned appreciation for Deanna and Dawn

Classic Skunkape and Pheonix—live, unfiltered, and occasionally in trouble.
