podcastEpisode 10 – Grizz: Professor of Hammocks

[BOT]

Hidden Content

In this episode, Jonathan and Mark get a chance to talk to someone who has been hanging around in hammocks for quite a while – Grizz, or Professor Hammock (depending upon which YouTube series you choose to view at the time). Grizz brings a lot of experience in the industry, along with some interesting conversation about types of hammocks, his new Ariel hammock, fun with DIY, and some truly sage advice to backpackers about carrying your fears and concerns. We even get in some chitchat about the remote possibility of a Hammock Camping Merit Badge!

After chatting with Grizz, Jonathan and Mark have a discussion about some of the knots they’ve learned from working with hammocks.
