This week we have Dan McNeill from MCN Hammocks join us on the podcast. Dan has been camping and spending most of his time in the woods since the 70's. In 1987 he joined the army and got to travel around the world. Over that span he experienced the evolution of he gear that is used outdoors. He has done tent camping, tarp camping, bushcraft and has had lots of survival training and experiences. With the eagerness to learn new things, coupled with injuries making it hard to sleep on the ground, he dove into hammock camping in 2017. Shortly after that he began makin his own gear and also getting request from others for him to make theirs as well. So in April of 2019, MCN Hammocks was born.

Our guest this week is Jan Walker, or also known as "Fluffy". Jan got into hammocking when she started planning a solo, self supported run/walk across the US to raise awareness, and donations for the 9/11 National Memorial Trail Alliance. On March 1 of 2016, Jan set out on the nearly 3,000 mile walk across the United States, from Oceanside California to Ocean City, Maryland. She discovered hammocks when she started her planning for the walk. She wanted something light, versatile, and easy to set up for her journey, so she ended up getting the Clark Mark 2 hammock. She said It ended up being the perfect setup for her trip.
