Together, we dive into each of the hangs they help organize — when and where they happen, the unique vibe of each event, and the traditions that make them special. We also pull back the curtain to talk about what it really takes to plan and run a successful hammock hang, from coordinating venues and food to juggling weather surprises and last-minute curveballs.

Along the way, you'll hear fun stories, lessons learned, and the shared passion that keeps these events going year after year. Whether you've been to dozens of hangs or are just curious about your first, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and community spirit.

🎉 Here's to 100 episodes — and many more hangs to come!

In this episode, Pheonix is joined by Shaun Strickland from Rewyld Outdoors and his wife, Sara, for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation. They kick things off with Shaun sharing how his passion for the outdoors started, and how that eventually led him into the world of hammock camping.

Shaun also opens up about one of his most meaningful camping experiences—the final trip he and his brother took with their father before he passed away. He shares how they made that trip special, and the lasting memories they created together as a family.

The conversation then shifts to Shaun's YouTube channel, where he talks about the creative process behind his videos, how much time goes into filming and editing, and what inspires his content.

They wrap up the episode with a discussion about Wyld Camp, the hammock camping event that Shaun hosts in Central Florida. Shaun shares the vision behind the event and what makes it such a unique and welcoming experience for outdoor enthusiasts.

This episode is packed with stories, laughs, and a lot of heart. Whether you're a seasoned camper or just getting started, you're sure to enjoy this one!
