Thanks, Karla. I needed my HangCon fix. Hope to see you HangCon 2025. Floridahanger

Hey Karla!

I loved the time I got to hang by the creek. 2024 someone else had nipped the spot before I got there. And I didn't know it until night fell but this year I set up under one of the lights that stayed on all night. Didn't bother me too much with my black tarp. The bonus was use of a picnic table. My camp buddy was behind you and she was told she couldn't take space for her 10x10 so she put it over her hive. That isn't how she wanted to set up. Sometimes the people in charge go a bit over the top about spaces before anyone even shows up. And wow, did I ever not notice what Dutchware did with the tarps when it was raining.

Thanks for the video! 2025 will be our first Hangcon and we cannot wait! Thanks for giving us an idea of what to expect.

i can remember exactly THAT machine in an austrian indoor swimming pool locality from the 80s Man ... this video gave me flashbacks from when i was 6 years old i totally forgotten Even recognized the "Corn Cob Face Branding" never ever again i saw that machine anywhere else again That nostalgia flash made my day - thank you

Update: new grills now! :)

Going tomorrow

good video!!

Another video was offered by YT this morning and I went to the website toot sweet and bought one.

Do they make a taller version for baking bread?

Hi Karla! Where were you for the eclipse?

Cool video. My niece was in Indiana & loved it. We had clouds & it just got overcast a little.

I’ve been waiting for a new post. I’d love to meet you at a hammock camping forum. Are you doing the frozen butt in Wi. again in Jan? I’m hoping to hike the AT next yr.

Good to see you doing some traveling.

Oh no 😱 that stinks! Not much surprise though, based on how the Amok demo was botched at Hangcon. Sad! 😢(for the brand)

Nice job Karla; thanks for sharing. How do you like the Amok that you won at Hangcon? That was you, wasn’t it?

Had to get myself a Camper model on the KickStarter launch. I am really looking forward to trying it with all of my different hammocks and the chair hammock I ordered as well. Thanks for the video.

Hello Karla. Very fine video. Thank you!

You are a precious adorable gem, Suzie. Im so glad you were able to make it down to HangCon 2024. Remember, next year you come down as family so if you do forget something, you just enjoy what we offer you without hesitation. I like your idea of a HangCon bucket list.... Maybe we'll make a HangCon Bingo Card for you. About the fires, you're right. I make them progressively larger every night to build on the previous night's fire. See you next year, floridahanger.

Wow such drama ! You were completely unprepared … from time zones to food .. never go anywhere where your meals for all days , as you could have had in your Walmart Order .. Always be prepared , don’t be needy and depend on other resources … Take Care Can always take large containers on planes ( like golf clubs - for supplies)

Thanks Karla! I'm new to hammock camping and really wanted to go to Hangcon this year but it just wasn't in the cards. Hopefully I can make it next year. Your video is invaluable! Hope to run to into you and thank you in person. SUBSCRIBED!

Do people in Ohio commonly have crawfish boils? I thought it was only a Southern thing.

I live in Ms. but have a stepdaughter & her daughter & sil that live in WI. I’m really wanting to explore this states hiking areas like the ice age trail & your frozen butt hang. Meet you, the marine & Shug. Thanks for all these videos.

I really want to do the AT then this one.

Love cows

So pretty

Oh my!

Your happiness & laughter just makes me happy.

Thanks for sharing.

Just watched your video on your 1st time @HangCon. Hope you had a blast. Loved your info for newbies-we all started that way. Hope you got a chance to try out your new Amok hammock you won from the raffle- I was the guy that gave you some jewjew of mine lol. Really enjoyed your experience and excitement. We camp out in the primitive area each year. Find that being exposed in the “regular “ campground is cold and being in the woods helps take those cold winds out of the equation and makes sleeping /staying warmer a lil easier. We’re heading to Covington,Ohio this Thursday so I can try and dial in my coldness scale while hammock Kamping and see how cold I can get with what I have. We’re driving from FL so it’ll be interesting to see how I do. Once again pleasure meeting you and hope you return next year. We go every year. Next year will be 5th year

Maybe the shelters not finished.? A loft might be added & hooks later

Nice site! Wish there were hammock trees. But worth a tent stay just for the log cabin thing.

I’m laughing w/ you because I can see me doing this & getting emotional over my mistake. Love the GreenBay hat! Bret Farve grew up 30 min from where I live & he still lives in our college town about an hr away. I also have a stepdaughter & her family in WI. Hope to go to both your frozen butt hang & this hang con one day.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!

Hi Karla! Just found your channel and I love it! We are so much alike - like how you couldn't stop laughing when you figured out you missed breakfast due to your phone still being on central time! I live in Florida, and you are so right about our January weather. That damp cold goes right through your bones. I grew up in Northern IL and always loved watching it snow - so magical! I can't wait to watch more of your videos and see what you are up to. 😊

Karla with a K, wonderful video showing a good group of hammock stands. David Hughes aka Phantom Grappler going to HangCon vicariously through your videos. Thank you

Hahah. I had a similar experience. Ted pop in my hydration pack. By the time i got off the trail and to the gas station it had created enough gas to explode. Lol unfortunately it stained the counter at the drink Station

Carbonated soft drinks = pop. A small, flowing watershed = crick. First of all, thank you for using language that I as a Pennsylvanian can understand. LOL. Very nicely done video. I would love to attend an event like this but me and Florida are like oil and water. Last time I was there was in 1990 and I swore I’d never go back. Thanks for showing everything that goes on there so thoroughly. I’m usually a day hiking, watch the fire burn kind of guy but if I’m around other people with a shared interest, I have no problem staying entertained. We have a group hang coming up in Pennsylvania in April. I’m going to try and make that one. Otherwise, it’s just me, my backpack and a hammock. Thanks again !!

Sunday night I was late and to dinner and got a scoop of cobbler and I was expecting chilli.

36:00 that's me! Why you creepin on me?

Hey Karla. Enjoyed meeting you at HangCon! It was fun sitting around the fire talking. Hope to see you again. Bob and George

And a Mighty Fine Good Morning to you Karla withak. Sincerely, The Mayor.

I slept in a cricket and it was awesome

I was looking for a lightweight hammock stand that is a near instant up/down that doesn't need any tools. I'm not a hammock camper. I just like napping in them and there's no always convenient trees nearby 😅

Lovely lady lovely camping.😊

Hey Karla, thanks for doing this video, I hope it will help others that are coming for their first time. Thanks for the kind words about all of the meals too. Each year we always get a few messages from people complaining about the food or something else about the event. I guess even when it's a free event and you are not having to pay for the camping and both breakfast and dinner meals for 5 days, it's still not enough.. lol ~Skunkape~

Thanks for coming down and vlogging about your experience. Hangcon staff hopes to see you next year!!

Nice! Glad to see Yobo coming out with an affordable replacement to the Tato stand! I wasn't a fan of their Hive or Cricket because of the wires, but I'd like something more self-supporting than the Tensa Solo's I've been using.

Also lovely lady and a great job 👍

I agree about feeding people. Food truck or cook yourself 😊
