In Episode 95 of The Hammock Hangers Podcast, your host Phoenix sits down for a heartfelt and enlightening conversation with returning guest and good friend of the show, Stephanie Arends.

Together, they dive into a topic that isn’t often discussed enough in the outdoor and hammocking communities — hammocking while living with illnesses and navigating the outdoors as a person of larger size.

Stephanie brings her personal experiences and hard-earned wisdom to the conversation, shedding light on the physical and emotional challenges that come with chronic health conditions and body image, especially when stepping off the beaten path and into the trees.

Phoenix and Stephanie share real talk about:

• Choosing hammock gear that offers support, comfort, and confidence

• Modifications and adjustments that make hammocking more accessible

• Mental hurdles and the strength it takes to show up and hang proudly

• Encouraging inclusivity and body positivity within the hammock and hiking communities

• Overcoming stigma and empowering others to embrace the outdoors regardless of size or health

This episode is full of empathy, laughs, and the kind of transparency that reminds us we’re all welcome in the hammock — no matter what our bodies or health journeys look like.

Whether you’re dealing with a chronic illness, are part of the plus-size community, or simply want to be a more supportive and informed member of the hammocking world, this episode is for you.

So grab your favorite hang spot, lean back, and join us for a truly inspiring chat with one of the community's most open-hearted voices.

In this solo episode, Pheonix sits down with Jackson Busch, the creative mind behind Madison River Outdoors, to talk about a game-changing new hammock design that’s shaking up the world of hammock camping. Unlike traditional hammocks that rely on an underquilt for insulation, Jackson’s design features an integrated air mattress system built right into the hammock itself.

Pheonix dives deep with Jackson to learn how he came up with the concept, what inspired this innovation, and where he sees both the hammock and Madison River Outdoors heading in the future. Whether you're a seasoned hanger or just hammock-curious, this episode is packed with insight and excitement about what's coming next in the hammock world.

🎯 Heads up! The Kickstarter for this innovative hammock is expected to launch late June or early July, so keep an eye out and be ready to support this unique project!
