Shug you already sold me on Medagila D'oro. Now I'm ordering a shameful amount of chocolate. Best food salesman EVER! You should do a video solely on your favorite backpacking foods.
Righto. It would be a short video!!!
What a good lookin' couple.
Fun to remember we were young once!!!! Thanks.
One of them was anyway...that shady looking fellow I dont know about him lol
A watched kettle/pot never boils. A shug video never disappoints. Regards Ian. 🏴
Though I do love to lay up in the hammock all warm and just stare down to watch and listen for a boil. So nice.
Which is more fun? Watching the water go into a purdy boil? Or watching paint drying to a purdy color on the wall? Ha Ha. Take care. Hope you stay safe and warm out there on the trail.
I like to watch grass grow and mold form.
that picture at the end: mesmerizing, young, strong and beautiful.
Ahhhh yes. About 20 years ago. Lovely day that.
Another great vid. Man, everytime I hear someone say, "early" now, I always anticipate that 2nd "EARLY" to be said lol. When it doesn't come I say it to myself "EARLY" lol. Love it . Thanks for sharing shugety shug shugster.
EARLY!!!! For an explanation look here czcams.com/video/s-MBWU0FQV4/video.html

I speak for myself. This year has been challenging for most of us and sadly, devastating for others. During this chaos, some of us chose to stop viewing TV and turn to the internet to relax from the taxing wave of less than honest informational entertainment. Myself as an avid You-Tube viewer, have selected a few channels that peak my interests and provide me with a mental release that we all need in todays world. Kind of a therapeutic dumbing down. No Political opinions, no rants about the injustices of the world, no platforms on how one should feel about one thing or another and how wrong it is to think any other way. Being a long-winded advocate for brevity, the point I’m trying to make is just to say thank you. You and your channel content have provided an outlet of sanity in an otherwise crazy ass world. You have shared with us your interests and adventures. You invited us along, not as observes but as accomplices. You’ve taken us to places we might never have gotten to go. In doing so we got to see things and meet people via the channel. I believe every one is a book, one that’s worth the read. It has drama, laughter, and sorrow. When one shares their book of life it’s an awesome event to behold. Im grateful for the time shared. In closing, regardless of what kind of challenges and situations thrown at us this year December 25th is still Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and yours. May our future be brighter than years past. P.S. No I’m not running for any office.
Thanks for the good and fine words Sam. When I put out a video I don't want to allude to all that rot as we hear it day in, day out everyday.
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Little did I know that, among his many other talents and credentials, Shug is a constitutional scholar! Enjoyed the video, as always, and thank you for sharing.
'Tis true....czcams.com/video/mF4ZHfPOB94/video.html
@@shugemery Ha! Just when I thought I'd seen it all--how'd I miss that one? Thank you!
Went for a 12 mile+ mountain bike ride on singletrack above 6000 feet today. Stopped and had 'brunch' in the sunshine while loafing in my hammock. No outdoor excursion, short or long is complete without a hammock to rest in. A hot meal when the temp is 40F or below is a welcome distraction. Sunshine felt good, no wind. Utah is unusually dry this year. Normally this area would be under at least 2 feet of snow. No need to waste a good opportunity!
Looks like you and Jonah had a whale of a good time in BWCA. Gotta love the Silky saw, no matter which size/model you have. I'm really liking the Superior insulated hammock....thank you for your real, honest review, using it in real winter conditions. Looks like a real Peach! It's good to see a younger man interested in winter camping/winter outdoors. Some of us older fellers still have it in us to do the winter outdoors thing. Need to educate our younger comrades to the joys it brings. Thanks for sharing.
Silky is real nice. That hammock is real nice. I have myself and orange and charcoal one being made.
Jonah loves the winter camping and has been on several trips with me. I endure it as winter is long! Thankee for good words.
Another great video. It's not always the miles that count. At least that's what I tell myself at 61. Nice new hammock too. Take care and thanks for the video, Al
We did about 14 miles. Fun
Was up Early, Early! This morning and hit the the great local trails we have here in Hurricane, WV. Lollygagged to a spot to watch the sunrise and brewed up 2 cups of the Medaglia D’oro. Woooo Buddy! Keep on keepin’ Shug! Sticks up!
All about the moment doing that. BE AWAKE. Whooooooo Buddy)))))
So I started watching this & my wife walked past, she hears the banjo and asks if it's someone ripping off Shug, I said nope it is Shug, she says "Im ashamed I know that". Its nice to share special things with your wife. Send my lovely Tui a big whoo buddy Shug, would love to see the look on her face
Whoooooo Buddy)))) Too funny. Actually a mandolin. Take care.
i don't always watch Shug vids but when i do i always enjoy them. cheers!
Shug says thanks.
Mrs. Shug, wow! Lucky man lucky life! Happy retirement and many more days in the woods.
I thank ya'
@@shugemery Just finished the podcast. Thanks to your dad for serving. I was stationed on the USS America & USS Ashland in Norfolk VA. Go NAVY!
@@leelewis8270 It was good times growing up NAVY~~!
What a pleasure to see you still making videos! I haven't been involved in the online hammock/backpacking world for a long time now, but you were a personality I'll never forget. Had to look you up again. Coincidentally enough, when I first started watching your videos 8 years ago, I was living in Leadville, CO home of Melanzana! I'm sitting here in one of mine as I write this.
Yes, unbelievably I am still at it!
Shug,
Thanx for the Kuissential idea!
I don't drink coffee, but it is the perfect solution for my girl! She LOVES IT!
Keep the ideas comin!
Righto!
Yup, you’re a child of the 70’s, hence the grocery/ bread bags in your boots.
I’m looking forward to seeing your pear salad for the holidays.
Had pear salad for Thanksgiving. I love 'em. We did bread bags and white socks on our hands in NC when it snowed!
Last Thursday sunset was beautiful in central Wisconsin, a few friends remarked how they had seen it too...I guess that made it remarkable Good podcast, I knew there had to be a reason an NC fella would settle down in MN. You have lived an interesting life Shug, right up there with yawning astronauts.
Marriage moved me to Minnesota. My circus sweetheart. Sunset comes in second.
Great video Shug, what a beautiful area , Love your happy way , and complete lack of BS .....good photo at the end of a younger you with your loved one. Best wishes, Dave, in Devon,England 🤙
That photo was 20 years ago. A memorable day at the lake. Folks always ask for more Meg but she is very private and has no need to be on a video or desire. So I sneak her in from time to time. Folks used to think I had a fake made-up wife!
Killing me with that Coffee Crisp! Best candy bar ever!
Love 'em. I get them on amazon. Sometimes from Canadians.
Your video's are like medication to a cancer patient in today's world. I have moved to Michigan from San Francisco to bolster the defense of my family in these times. Ive no experience in "winter camping" but look forward to the learning the curve. I loved the Lost coast in CA and camped there many times solo. I am currently "ground sleeper" and not a hammock solder only because of equipment needed. You are helping me understand the difference between the two. Keep up the hard work and i appreciate your channel. Early!!! If you would ever like to produce content in Michigan, I have access to 30 acres of Michigan woods that you can work with. Hell i dont even have to be evolved. I just enjoy watching you videos. lol
Winter is fun with the right gear but mostly the confidence to go. Thankee for all that. Whoooooo Buddy))))
Shug you are the only successful You Toober that I know who has no trolls giving you thumbs down... LOL... They say that your you toob success can be measured in how many trolls you have...
No, I get them. 21 on my last video. Part of being on You Tube.
Another good video. Great picture of you and your lovely wife.
Thanks. We were so young then.
what better to start a day with a video of Shug 😜 it makes you want to go into the woods now but here in Quebec there is not much snow! Bonne journée mon ami et prend soin de toi ! Xxx
No snow down in the cities where I live. Camping about 5 hours north.
Thanks for bringing us along for another fun MN winter camp. Also nice to see the photo at the end of the video, hope the family is doing well.

Just catching up. What a wonderful way to spend a few days. We are so fortunate here in MN to have such a spectacular place to hang out and hike. Never tried winter camping. My father-in-law would go winter camping. Worked with the Boy Scouts for decades and was one when younger. Loved the cold. Thanks for letting us tag along. Hope your Christmas was awesome and your New Year's even better.
🎉 Thankee...you too. Taking some time off to enjoy my family for the Holidays.
I look forward to your video's. It a nice break from the other world. Control line is petering out but electric rc has inspired me to building an old kit called a SkyVolt by Bob Kopski. Keep on enjoying life Shug.
Well either way, I'm glad you are still flying. Until Spring~~~!
Thanks, Shug. Your videos bring joy to my life. You've got me reminiscing about backpacking and mushing the Boundary Waters from all the way down here in Texas.
I do feel lucky to live 5 hours from it.
I think your winter/snow videos are my favorite. We don't get much snow in Delaware these days, and it's nice to see it still exists somewhere. You make me strongly consider moving further north.
All gone down here in the Twin Cities. But Ely is about 5 hours North.
Thank you for taking the time & effort to produce these videos. I truly enjoy every one.
Thank you Anne.
Love those Silky saws. Got the 130, 170, pocket boy’s at 10 tip. F180 and the 360 big boy 8tpi. Rolls Royce of folding saws. 🏴
They sure are a nice and I like that they fold down.
Always good stuff, thank you!
Loved the photo at the end ❤️.
Happy Holidays!
That was about 20 years ago. Remember that day! Thankee.
Just did a overnight my self last night. Love this time of year!
Whooooo Buddy)))))
Just a thanks for doing more than a "solo one nighter". Evidently in most people's world camping only lasts one night.
Sometimes we only have one night. Better that than nothing. Longer is fun for sure.
Great video always makes me want to get up there again. Seen the preview of your new hammock it looks awesome
Yes! Slept in it last night~~~
Camped for the first time in my Warbonnet BBXLC and Super Fly tarp. Really enjoyed it and slept good. Shug, you inspired me to do it!
Whooooo Buddy)))))
Hey Shug
Thank you very much for your time an effort in creating these videos. I am new to hammock camping and find YOUR videos outstanding and of course entertaining.
Thank You!!
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
As usual, always good stuff and fun to watch! Thanks for posting!
I thankee.
I had my morning coffee watching the video. Thanks for another great video Shug!
Looking forward to getting some snow down this way. But, as always, it's taking its dear, sweet time getting here.
I love snow and I hate snow. Lots of clearing and shoveling at home. But all melted here right now.
Yessss!!!!! Was going through and watching some old videos, so happy you posted a new one!!! Stay safe!
Whoooooo Buddy)))) and thankee.
Lay-off season is almost here ! Looking forward to winter trips.Thanks for your videos. They always have me adjusting my equipment one way or another. That's part of the fun. As for you and your wife, cool photo!
Righto Lefty.
Really enjoyed this video. Looked like fun. Keep them coming, Shug! Whoooo buddy!!
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Looks like you had a good time out there! That saw sure made quick work of that wood! I still need to purchase one of those saws for my camping system.
They make nice saws.
Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! I love your videos. Thank you for creating them and sharing them. They have been a great escape and distraction during this year especially. Wishing you and your family well and a Happy New Year!
Happy Christmas to you as well~~~~
Great video. Love the banter just as much as the solo trips. Great picture of you and your wife at the end. God bless.
Thanks and Whooooo Buddy)))))
That was a fun trip man! Thanks for taking us. That closing photo in awesome!
That photo was 20 years ago. A memorable day at the lake. Folks always ask for more Meg but she is very private and has no need to be on a video or desire. So I sneak her in from time to time. Folks used to think I had a fake made-up wife!
Love me that purdy boil, mhmmm. Hope that coffee is treating you better than the instant espresso! Always happy to see a fresh upload, shug!
Takes a bit more effort but tasted good. I'll always do a bit of both.
Good video! Thanks for sharing Shug. Excited for you to hit 100k soon!
Thankee. I'll eat cake and fade into the mist.....
Happy New year, Shug! Woooooooo Buddy
🎉 Thankee...you too. Taking some time off to enjoy my family for the Holidays.
Thanks for all the work creating great content!
Yessir. Whooooo Buddy)))))
Thank God there's a new Shug video to start my day off with!
Whooooo Buddy)))))
Thanks for taking us along on another great backwoods trip Mr E!
LOVED the podcast, it was a fun and interesting listen! Hopefully you and Bill can make the camping trip happen 🤞🏽
Glad you listened to it. Whoooooo Buddy))))
Ahh just what was needed on a cold winters night...a new Shug video. Glad to see your doing well, you’re using a lot of new gear it seems lately, changing things up in retirement. Hope you have a happy holiday season and as always happy trails!
Sometimes I need a boost and try new stuff. See if it sticks. Maybe see ya' this winter.
And, I just love the pic of you and Meg at end. Humanity at its finest.
Sweet of ya'...We like to remember we were young once!
Awesome outing Shug. Great feedback on the gears and what not. Waiting myself for the snow to arrive here in the west coast. Take care bud!
Yessir.It'll arrive in due time.
Another amazing trip! Thanks for taking us along Shug. Still not used to seeing you with a full fire. Beautiful footage of area. Great trip with great company.
I can build the heck out of a fire but don't depend on them. I am lazy ya' know.
Nice! I was out myself a night a few days ago. We seem to have the same amount of snow! Im so glad seeing you in the US using our Swedish quality axes like that Hults Bruk! I can tell you I use a US hammock, and Im very happy with it!
Yes and I just ordered myself a Gränsfors Bruk small splitting ax for myself. For Christmas.
I never get tired of your vids
Thankee. I do thought! haaaa
Woooo Buddy! “EARLY” lol absolutely enjoy watching your adventures, thanks for sharing the videos! Cheers from Ontario eh 😃
Whoooooo Buddy)))) 'eh~~~
I only got a flury a couple days ago. Usely the first and last snow of the year. Very nice shug!
Not deep up there but sure was pretty. Whoooooo Buddy))))
Loved the video. Looks like you had a great trip.
Thankee.
Really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like them! Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Love this trip Shug! Nice to see men bonding. That hammock looks so warm... mine looks cold compared to yours. 😊
Thx!!!
We did bond. Just us and the snowy woods!
Glad your doing pour over now. That instant coffee is NASTEEEEE. Great video!
I do actually hate most instants but like the Medalia D'oro instant espresso in the woods. The pour-over is a bit more work. More than likely switch them up.
I get a kick out of all the tasty treats you have when you are backpacking!
They give e something to look forward too when everyone else is sipping whiskey.....
I use my Ribz Wear Pack for everything from hiking to canoeing, and even hunting. I love how it fits and versatile it really is. I've even been known to wear it in my hammock at night to help keep things from freezing (MN winters can be cold). Good golly its a great piece of gear, and I learned about it right here! Thanks Shug!
Sure hold a lot but trying not to twist up those straps is trying sometimes.!!! haaa
Enjoy watching your adventures! Thanks for sharing!!!
Whooooo Buddy)))))
A snowy camp, a winter forest and a frozen lake, you are so blessed in the US here in the UK it just rains. Thanks Shug for sharing a good time.
Actually the state I live in is amazing as far as nature. We are lucky to have the BWCA. Whooooo Buddy)))))
What a fantastic shot of you & Meg! Your girls are so beautiful! You & Meg & Aerial stay safe & healthy. Thanks for sharing the trip with us.
hat photo was 20 years ago. A memorable day at the lake. Folks always ask for more Meg but she is very private and has no need to be on a video or desire. So I sneak her in from time to time. Folks used to think I had a fake made-up wife!
That was a great podcast. Thanks for sharing the link.
Appreciate it.
Beautiful picture of you two at 25:16. Don't worry about the length of the video, I really enjoyed it. If you filmed less means you enjoyed more the little things and bonding with Jonah and that's what matters. :) Take care Shug

@@shugemery Hahaha like Columbo's wife? :D
The pic at the end was fantastic! Cheers from eastern NC.
Thankee. Part of me will always be in NC~~~
Now I want to go 😁 north - thanks for the video Shug - have my new 11 footer hammock coming soon. Probably try to get out just before Christmas to test it here in the SE corner of MN. I am also going to try that double under quilt to see how it warms. Pushed my 30 degrees to 23 degrees a couple weeks ago and was chilly so now will give that double under quilt trick a shot since both are rated for 30. A couple of Richard Doer Forrest areas down here. Not as much solitude but should be almost as quiet with the main deer hunting season done and they are only an hour from me.
Enjoy that hammock quest. You are only new once.
For a moment thought it was baby yoda (Grogu) on the back of his pack... Thanks for sharing love the winter landscape. Really like that hammock too more info is a good thing. 🤪
Getting me that hammock in orange and gray. Yes, I like it!
Good morning shug from Ohio I do have plenty of snow from the storm that hit us
And it looks like you and your friend are having fun for those three days in the snow
Keep on hiking
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Outstanding Shug 👍🏼👍🏼
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
3 nights of winter backpacking in BWCA! Shug is a trooper! 😀💪👍
Hey...think they were talking about you on Backpacker Podcast. Doing the live feed on January 18th. Seem like real nice fellers.
@@shugemery Cool! I'll have to check it out. Also I'll have to get back out to do some winter camping myself.
whoooooooo buddy , diging that superior hammock, its on the wish list, like wishing I can get one soon
Getting mine done in orange and charcoal.
Great video Shug one of the best. God Bless
Thankee.
In the winter I love big hemlock trees to set up under and spruce on the sides. Makes it
cozy,
Love a good hemlock tree.
At 6.16, that is some beautiful framing. Lovely images Shug!
Thanks. Just worked out that way. Did not notice until editing.
Thanks for another awesome video Sir...thanks again
Whooooo Buddy))))
Went by the Linneville Gorge the other day. We also had the Christmas pears with Duke mayo and the cherries. Mighty Good!! Ummm!!! Happy New Year Shug!!
Whooooooo Buddy)))) Good times.
Good video! Love it. My system isn’t quite dialed for a winter hang. But I watch because I’m inspired by your content and have learned a great deal about the basics of “the hang”. Thanks!
We have long long winters here in Minnesota so it was camp or not camp for me.
@@shugemery totally. I’m a hunter, so I can occupy much of my early cold weather season (“EARLY”), but I’m doing RSBTR DIY gear. So it’s a learning curve. Froze my nuts off at 28 degrees. So I’m not even close. Soon tho. Soon!
Shug very well may be the most interesting and cultured individual alive today
Well, I do fake it well...haaa
Great camp Shug and good coffee. A bit windy. Your setup worked well. I always have to get up and void about every 2.5 hours. One cold night I went 5 hours before I went. Finbar said he’ll no I ain’t getten up. Take care.
Strong wind a'blew! I too get up a couple times a night. Just part of it.
Beautiful sunset 😮
Truly!
Love that pic of you and Meg at the end. You sure done good Mr. Shug. Good looking couple.
Thankee. Up at the lake and joyful.
Incredibly beautiful sunset Shug. Always fun to get in the woods with a good friend and especially fun when your good friend likes cutting firewood 😁😁
FYI...... Dwight Yoakam is from my hometown
Dwight is pretty good actor for sure. Got a lot of range.
As always. Love the video. I ordered the superiorgear hammock on the 16th. Hope to gets it soon and try it out. We have good amount of snow in the Woods. Taking it out as soon as I get it. Keep the video’s a coming.
Whoooooo Buddy))) Hope you enjoy it.
Ha! Glad to see Jessie Dixon again.... that was funny! I need to find Coffee Crisp stuff. 👍🏻
That Jesse is quite cruel. Coffee Crisp...try amazon.
we packed the BWCA a couple times in the early/mid 70s ... I have a distinct memory travelling along Rt 61, with that angry lake off to one side
I love the drive up 61...gateway!
....takker for altid stemnings fyldte videoer 🙏🏻 Martin from Denmark 🙇♂️
Det er min fornøjelse.
Thank you for the info on the SlickDrip.
You betcha!
Shug! Long time watcher, first time commenter! Its so good to see you out on the trail. Angleworm is one of my favorite places on the planet. In this long, dark, cold, pandemic winter... it really is good to see you out there-- taking it easy for all us sinners.
Yes for sure. Good short loop.
Another great video👍 Hoping I can watch the live stream on Tuesday! Can't believe your snow, Still none for winter camping up here in Nova Scotia. (Glad to hear Cold Frosty Morning make it's return to your videos🙂).
Though ya'll would have some up there 'eh.
Nice video. I really enjoyed you being out with another person. That makes this video a little different. I love Angleworm Lake. I have not walked that loop around the lake, but I have been into Angleworm about three times. I took four boys out last Friday night on a little overnigh, here in Tennessee. Keep on Camping!
Fun to hike with someone else but as I get older, I'm choosier who I camp with. Jonah and I got to bond. It is worth looping for sure.
Whoooo Buddy Shugrow! Happy December pal! Most excellent as always! Happppppyyyyyy end of 2020! We’ve almost made it! You and Meg have always made a handsome couple!
Sally Forth fine friend!
Like the coffee dripper. I bought a non-collapsable one last year to try at home first and at my camper and love it. I had my sights set on the Vargo one for backpacking!
Your hammock/underquilt colors are funny... reminded me of an oversized tube of Colgate 😂😂
The color grew on me. Looked good in the woods. I'm getting an orange and gray one made. That one is a loaner.
Thanks for all the inspiration Shug! Dad n I bought some UQs, can’t wait to get out.
Make sure you set them up correctly with no gaps and you will love them.....czcams.com/play/PLahaAdtfX9ZKzSYSBm3mBYSPGHjdyGqsL.html
@@shugemery you’re a legend! Happy holidays and happy hanging!
