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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qV6wc4qLZauEjJY at 12:07 in.

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!!!

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.

[@jeffreydonaldson8266]

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.

[@shugemery]

I like to watch grass grow and mold form.

[@nicholasmeadors3708]

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.

[@shugemery]

Yes, unbelievably I am still at it!

[@ScottCannon4SmartBiz]

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.

[@shugemery]

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!

[@swnorcraft7971]

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.

[@shugemery]

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.

[@PumpkinVillage]

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

[@shugemery]

We did about 14 miles. Fun

[@shugemery]

Ahhhh yes. About 20 years ago. Lovely day that.

[@sams568]

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.

[@shugemery]

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)))))

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.

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.

[@better.better]

something you might want to look into, they're kind of pricey, and they're designed for winter cycling, but you can leave on the cover that hides the cleat mounts. 45Nrth makes two models of winter boots. both models have aerogel in the soles, and both models include a removable liner. I've been using the more expensive Wulfgar model for two seasons (rated for -20°F). it was an older model that had traditional laces with a cord lock. the pair that I had are pretty beat up now because I used them daily, but they still function, and are still fully waterproof, although I had to replace the laces, and it's time to replace the liners. this past week I just bought the other model which is only rated down to 0°F. the newer models now feature a Boa lacing system which I can already tell will be much easier to use with gloves on. the liner feels much nicer compared to the felt Wool liners in the Wulfgar model... I'm not sure if the newer Wulfgar models feature the same sort of liner. when I purchased my Wulfgars, I had read a review that said to get a size larger than you needed so that you'd be able to put on thicker socks or nest a smaller liner inside the other liner and extend the temperature range. I didn't ever actually need that and I kind of wish I had gotten my normal size. because I had done that I ended up purchasing some "military" microfleece over-socks on Amazon. and one thing I noticed about using them is that the outside of the oversocks would be damp but my feet and socks would be dry

Will look into that. I would have just worn my mukluks but walking 5 to 6 miles a day in them with barely any snow...they just don't support. In deep snow and with snowshoes just fine.

Shug we was hot on your pulk tracks all day Saturday out there on the Angleworm. My girls are Xelias Aerial Arts students and were dying to run into you. They are also big fans of Jonah aka the Hebrew Hanger. Thank you for making our winter walking even more exciting.

[@shugemery]

Meg told me. We did not have pulks but someone did. Did you hike up the east side? We were up at Whiskey Jack lake Saturday.

[@thomashauer6662]

@@shugemery oh I feel bad for the folks pulling the pulks, the snow was melting pretty good by the end of the day. We went up the west side of Angleworm and just did an out and back, about 7 miles, not bad for a 12 & 10 year old!! I’ll be doing an overnight there later this winter. Do you prefer the Whiskey Jack campsite?

[@shugemery]

@@thomashauer6662 Whiskey Jack for the sunset!

[@kevshelley]

Lots of pluses on that trip Shug! Only thing missing was Daniel Lanois' guitar work during the Sling Blade vignette. All the best ✌🏼

[@shugemery]

I tried something like that on this Karl Christmas video....kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4bEqJWjbtKmrsU

[@kevshelley]

@@shugemery I remember that one, a classic for sure 🎄

[@shugemery]

My favorite song in the movie was "Darling" the one playing when the gal from the store brings Karl the flowers and talks about the blister on her heel as big as a quarter. "I always thought flowers was purty."

[@Shehikes1]

I love your paintings

[@shugemery]

Thank you.

[@MrBadger]

The music EARLY in the video is great! We would love to see some jam sessions. Love the video, looks like good times. Thanks for making me laugh often and EARLY! ;)

[@shugemery]

Thanks. A Sam Bush lick and "Cold Frosty Morn." As to jamming...it has not been happening due to Covid. Singing spews a lot of crap. Always hard to film a jam when you are in a jam. But I do have some old stuff....kzbin.info/aero/PL966F84D9A21266A4

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.

[@shugemery]
