BIG news over here at A Jaunt With Joy Headquarters! Also known as my tiny cluttered home office, but let’s pretend I’m blogging from a lake-side bonfire pit surrounded by Fall foliage, mkay?

I’m hosting my very first giveaway!

As a thank you for reading along and following my adventures on social media, I wanted to do something special for you all. A Jaunt With Joy is a travel and outdoor lifestyle blog, and I’m all about getting more people into nature on their trips. So I decided to reach out to Rapid Hammock about hosting this giveaway to my like-minded readers. To my surprise they agreed!

As a brand ambassador for Rapid Hammock — a fairly new and quickly growing hammock company in Michigan — I was given my own hammock to test out. I instantly fell in love with how lightweight and compact it was. PERFECT for backpacking and hiking trips! It was also incredibly fast and easy to set up and take down.  Especially for someone like me who would rather miss a flight than figure out instructions for putting something together. You can purchase accessories for it as well, like a mosquito net or a tarp that hangs above it for a dry nights sleep!
