This week we return for part 2 of the HangCon Denmark 2025 recap but as you will notice it has slightly changed because Skunkape and Waterboy had things come up and couldn't make it back on, so instead, you will be hearing Pheonix and Shug carrying on with the recap and talking more about what it was like this year at the 2nd annual international HangCon over in Denmark.

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.
