Angleworm Trail Solo Zen Trip

[@robertcallahan1046]

"Dust in the Wind" on mandolin with a loon circling the lake. Doesn't get more quintessentially Shug than that!!! Thanks as always for sharing!

[@shugemery]

Thanks feller.

[@QuietMowing]

Nice top-quilt! I love that you have a whole collection... WAY BETTER than a bunch of cars. 😉👍

[@shugemery]

I do want a McLaren though......

[@greggreaves1727]

I love that you provide the music for your videos. Whole 'nother level.

[@shugemery]

Appreciate that. Part of the fun and I don't get muted by YT.

[@CharlieEchoCharlie]

BOOM!! Shug!! As always it's a joy to observe your wanderings...

[@shugemery]

A boomy Whooooo Buddy))))

[@OldPackMule]

A little Dust In The Wind ukulele serenade while watching a Loon lap the lake from the most beautiful camp spot I’ve ever seen. Thank you that’s what it’s all about.

[@shugemery]

Yessir...mandolin actually.

[@OldPackMule]

shugemery my ignorance of music shows, but I love it anyway.

[@patches152]

oh man, i didn't know how much i needed this until it just popped up. WHOOO, BUDDY!

[@shugemery]

Thankee.

[@DarkForerunner117]

I just get a big smile on my face when I pick up my phone to get a notification when shug posts! YAY

[@shugemery]

Thank you.

[@BrosephRussell]

Nice amazing awesome time out on the trail chillaxing by the lake oh yeah

[@shabadabadoo4326]

43 degrees sounds like heaven to me, rain or no. June 1st, in East Texas, we're capping 90 most days already. Glad you finally got some outside time...

[@shugemery]

Sure is good sleeping weather.

[@markmoore5380]

I really enjoy your music. No matter what kind of day I'm having your music puts me in that happy place.

[@shugemery]

Thank you feller.

[@terrysmith1175]

That sunset shot across the lake is what it is all about man, goodness gracious 👌

[@shugemery]

[@MarkPhillippo]

The mandolin "Dust in the Wind" was so great to hear! Another enjoyable video…thanks for sharing your trip!!

[@shugemery]

[@shofarox4037]

Yeah dust in the wind good old song of my childhood... Good to see you Shugemery and your videos. God bless you.

[@shugemery]

We partied to it!

[@shofarox4037]

I bet it is your engagement's song ain't it...? Hmm... My mom an dad's engagement's song it's " I Heard It Through The Grapevine" so... I figure out...

[@NorthCountryOutdoorGuys]

Good to see “The Shuge” in his natural environment. Just in time for my hiking season to start here in the Adirondacks.

[@colson3853]

That sounds like fun

[@timbyrne3605]

Like others have said I needed this. Thank you for all you've done and continue to do..grateful for your service to humanity

[@shugemery]

Thanks and Whoooooo Buddy)))))

[@SasquatchHunterMN]

Great video, Shug! Thank you for stoking my yearning for the Boundary Waters. Special place.

[@shugemery]

Thank Tom. It was spectacular.

[@b5maddog]

That lake and scenery looked amazing. Great editing and video as always! Thanks for sharing your trip! Really enjoyed watching.

[@shugemery]

[@crazyhorsejohnny1974]

Beautiful spot by the lake. And great picking at the end. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to part 2.

[@shugemery]

For sure and thank you.

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

Nothing like a solo trip to recharge the old batteries. It is a gorgeous area. Looks like a good spot to do some fishing. Good to see you out enjoying yourself Shug.

[@shugemery]

I may even take up fishing someday. Whooooo Buddy))))

[@Stevo_Drums]

Moose poop juggling. I can rest in peace now. Thankee Shug!

[@shugemery]

something fun about it.

[@CampfireTalk]

Ah Shug this was good medicine. Angleworm Lake was mighty peaceful. Lapping loon hypnotized me. wooo buddy

[@shugemery]

I feel so un-clenched. Just put the dock in. Ahhhhhh

[@WildFleur312]

Yahoooooo! I missed your videos. :) ...and I do understand about that whole "life" thing. Lol

[@shugemery]

It does. One can never catch up.

[@Fishpig65]

Nice video sir. It’s been a cold and wet spring so far in Cambridge. Enjoy Minnesota’s 6 days of summer.

[@steves3760]

Minnesota has two seasons, construction and winter.

[@karlmadsen3179]

Their two seasons are lots of mosquitos and slightly even more mosquitos.

[@brianwofford3831]

Second time I have watched this video! Good place Angleworm, I have been through there four times. I have stayed on the lake twice. I do like that new top quilt. I love the BWCAW as much as any where in the world I have been. Someone took me up there when I was 15 years old. I have been back 45 times or so since then. Thanks so much for the video. Keep on Camping!

[@shugemery]

Some nice foot trails in there. Whooooo Buddy)))))

[@flysubcompact]

The usual compliments (Filmage, editage, entertainmentage), but gotta say you do some mean mandolinage. Never heard that old Kansas song raining down from a mandolin before. Excellent.

[@shugemery]

Had to learn it. Partied to it many a time in youth.

[@darkdefender1]

Just returned to earth after a prolonged stay in hospital and your videos are pure medicine dude, pure medicine indeed!!!!

[@shugemery]

Glad to hear your on the up and up.

[@manatarms7778]

Awesome trip. Love the videos. Keep bluegrassing brother. 👍👍🇺🇸

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy)))))...so I shall.

[@bereantrb]

I got one of those Warbonnet Diamondback quilts when they were new last year on their introductory offer. Beautiful materials and workmanship, 20° model warm for me. Very happy with it.

[@shugemery]

It is sweet for sure.

[@ForrestThump]

Absolutely love your mandolin playing. I would buy your songs.

[@shugemery]

Thank you. Just a jammer here. soundcloud.com/you/sets

[@funnygazman19]

You rock Shug. Vicariously hiking and hammock camping with your videos is so wonderful.

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy))))

[@sawdoffhero]

Glad to see you out and about again Shug!

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy)))))

[@nolanhanson971]

Beautiful place, beautiful trip. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@shugemery]

[@jacobcardiff8757]

Whoooo buddy nothing like a solo trip and some fresh air to clear the mind

[@shugemery]

[@geneo3654]

[@ekhaat]

[@AJKPenguin]

If it hasn't been declared already, you sir, Shug, are the Robin Williams of the Wilderness. Thank you for your comical, resourceful production. : )

[@shugemery]

Blush~~~~It brings out the joy. No responsibilities.

[@michellerose7560]

As always great video. Beautiful scenery, great music, good information. But OMG look at those guns! Impressive Shug!

[@shugemery]

I'm blushing now.......

[@kluckfabrication5991]

[@TheMan-wg8xm]

So much good music! Love your picking.

[@shugemery]

[@terryforbes4038]

Glad to see your back. Almost time for a C/L video. Thanks Shug

[@shugemery]

Once I get my flying back on track. Been out once and it felt so fun.

[@ssiewnad]

Thanks for part 1 .... gonna miss the bean. The jam session at the end was outstanding!!!

[@shugemery]

Miss Bean a lot. I keep calling his name.

[@coffeeneone]

Watching in my Tensa the day before my week long camp out in Georgia. Heading out to camp rainy mountain with the scouts. Hopefully I’ll catch part 2 when I’m up there ;) As always, thank you!

[@shugemery]

Have a right goodie of a trip.

[@janmariolle]

Awesome music throughout! Thank you.

[@shugemery]

I appreciate the nice words.

[@mattg2935]

I put my Shug Shirt on today and a video popped up! Magic. The family and I did the 2 mile portage hike on Sunday. We also walked the long portage to Agassa Lake on the other side of the Echo Trail. I love this area. Great video as always.

[@shugemery]

So close weren't we. Hope they enjoyed the hike.

Thank you Shug for spending the time in nature and making these videos. Its nice to spend sometime in places ive never seen with a good hearted person to narrate it all.

[@shugemery]

Thanks for that Vicky. Takes work to be a human.

[@landonwold]

Nice socks shug! I have to get pair.

[@shugemery]

I'll never wear them in public though!!!!

[@ArmstrongSurvival]

I really need to get out to Minnesota and visit some friends and do some hiking/camping well out there. Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing.

[@shugemery]

We got some great woods and much of it is free.

[@HuddyMcQueen]

Shug, that was great. Thanks for sharing...just what I needed.

[@shugemery]

Y'elcome.

[@maverickhockey48]

The rhythm you spoke at 16:31 I swore I was gonna here you quote "And in the morning...I'm makin' WAFFLES!!" haha love your Minnesota adventures as always, Shug.

[@shugemery]

Woulda loves a pancake for sure.

[@damama4209]

I just figured out one reason I enjoy watching your video's, besides seeing our beautiful North Shore area. The way you play the mandolin is the same relaxed way my Dad did.[ He played norwegian folk songs] You have the same feel with the violin- I inherited both instruments- he used to play guitar but when I was young we lived in Alaska for a few years.At that time they were house parents for a pre-delinquent teen home -- on a hike one time my dad put the guitar down and one of the boys didn't see the guitar and sat on it. End of guitar- I tinkered with the guitar in my teen's .... anyway... brings good memories- it's right that when you are in your senior years you tend to remember the past. Thank you for bringing back good memories of camping in MN northwoods and all the music I grew up surrounded by. Sorry so long - of course enjoy the info. Thank you - I'll be heading for Duluth with my 3 son's in a few weeks so that will be nice.

[@shugemery]

Thank for that...appreciated.

[@foxriding753]

Shug! The tunes add so much to the video! Really good 👍

[@shugemery]

I appreciate you saying so.

[@lesliewoodmobile]

Great video Shug Love your version of Dirty Old Town.

[@shugemery]

Thanks. It is actually "Wayfaring Stranger."

[@denischasse3567]

it's a real paradise this therapeutic place really! thank you for this moment of peace 🌲🌲🌲🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@shugemery]

Merci.

[@wolfgrube]

Very nice gear tour. Thank you shug. 😊

[@shugemery]

Whooooo Buddy))))

[@wolfgrube]

@@shugemery I've got a "Whooo Buddy" today ist a geat day

[@kevinneff5616]

Wooooo Buddy! Good of you to bring us with you again.

[@shugemery]

Y'elcome and Thanks.

[@thomasweirs1971]

Happy birthday and anniversary, good sir!! Great video as always! Thanks for sharing, Shug!

[@shugemery]

Thank you.

[@ORflycaster]

I love the solitude of solo trips outdoors. Thank you for sharing yours with us. The soundtrack was perfect for the footage. It's also uniquely yours, and royalty free. Win-win-win! I'm happy for you getting some time to get out and relax.

[@shugemery]

Thank you. Just back from another 3 nighter solo up there.

[@backpackingwithahammock4006]

I've always wanted to stay at that campsite on Whiskeyjack Lake. It's good to see you back out in the Piney Woods. And thank you for all the hammock community service. I hope to catch up with you on another hang.

[@shugemery]

Got the lake all to yourself. Well, you and the loons.

[@mitchmead5772]

Great to see ya out again. Love the Angleworm Trail

[@shugemery]

A gem of a trail for sure.

[@hodadyou]

Thank you for the video Shug. The Sawyer Squeeze large dirty bag can be converted easily to a hanging gravity bag by punching two holes in the bottom, attaching cordage and hanging from a limb.

[@shugemery]

It would just flow as i held it there. Good idea.

[@dlegatt]

Your other Angleworm Trail vid with Wanderin Fool is my favorite! Hoping to get up there some day, Whoo buddy!

[@shugemery]

I missed him out there.

[@garrycollins3415]

Nice video! I like the gear discussion, it was all off the cuff, not set up. "Oh, look at my two toe socks!". Great video of the lake and animals. It was you filmed conversations with friends. I'm glad to hear someone else doubles up quilts for options. I love winter camping. BTW, I just took delivery of a War Bonnet hammock.

[@shugemery]

Thank you feller. Hope you enjoy your Warbonnet.

[@spidermonkey832]

Thanks for that. I’ve literally dreamed of finding a site like the one in your sunset shot. Well done sir. That quilt looks amazing! I’m strictly a ‘hammock gear’ kinda guy, but that shockcord idea is pretty cool. I don’t know what was funnier, your reaction to the tea, or the hairy armpit right over the warbonnet url. I use a can stove, it lets me use a thermacell ‘backpacker’. The thermacell combined with a seasonal drenching of permethrin in my tarp and 40' under-quilt has kept me safe in CT., so far. I could care less about the weight. I take my thermacel, my folding stool and my 2qzq-tree-table everywhere with me. You guys sound fantastic, that practice has really paid off. Beautiful shots and sunset. Thanks for sharing.

[@shugemery]

Thankee for all that! Whooooo Buddy)))))

[@wsmithjr74]

I would have watched this the day it came out, but I was backpacking (for once). Happy I finally got out and glad you're back.

[@shugemery]

Hope your trip was a right goodie.

[@joemiddleton7566]

Love that Wayfarin’ Stranger.

[@shugemery]

Thankee.

[@nathancaldwell3949]

I been trying to watch this video for days. Every time I try to watch I fall asleep. 4 times so far but I’m trying again tonight lol

[@shugemery]

Zzzzzzzzz~~~~~~`!

[@ArktikosAdventures]

So good to see you again Shug. Beautiful video.

[@shugemery]

Thank you.

[@EugeneJrFolse]

Several years ago, I asked about the food in the morning. I think I was the first. Everyone else followed. I am sorry. Great video Shug of the third person. Thanks for posting.

[@shugemery]

Yessir. Best time odfthe day.

[@luckyswine]

Shug Zen! Badly needed. Been hanging near book town Hay on Wye UK. Woods to myself by night, music and philosophy festival by day. And I slept four nights in that hammock sweet and still as a hay bale.

[@shugemery]

Sounds very Jungian. Working to quiet the mind.

[@-Kreger-]

Always great to see a new video of yours.

[@shugemery]

Thank you.

[@RatdogDRB]

Nice !! Love seein' the new gear, glad you're getting out. I borrowed your "zip a jacket around your hooves" technique this weekend while I too was camping for the Holiday weekend. I was car camping in a camp ground, so, I had to use my trusty ENO hammock stand with my ENO Double Nest. The hooves got a little cold the first night. My quilts are only 40 degree jobs, and with a diagonal lay, it left the hooves chilled from beneath. The jacket did the trick and I was snug as could be after that. Thanks for sharing that one. Best sleeping I get, inside the hammock. Lots of resting, read three books, ate well. Loved it.

[@shugemery]

It always works! Whooooo Buddy))))

[@markcummings6856]

Just another incredible outing. Way to enjoy yourself. If you’re ever down to the Adirondacks, would love to run into you someday. Thanks for sharing.

[@shugemery]

Was there years and years ago. Sure had fun.

[@finfeederflies3842]

Big smile when the notification popped up....

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy)))))

[@onetimeoutdoorsdj1394]

[@TawnaTV]

Great video from the #1 hardcore hiking and backpacking channel on the Tube! Nobody does it better just different. Lovely new top quilt too, looks super snuggly. Also, lil' Bean cameo was cute cute. 😀

[@shugemery]

I sure miss ol' Bean. Thankee.

[@cgriggsiv]

At work right now 2 thumbs-up I shall be watching this later on tonight and I can't wait

[@shugemery]

Thankee.

[@markgrudzinski914]

After living vicariously through your videos for a few years now, my wife and I finally managed to flee Chicago and relocated to the Twin Cities. Hope to bump into you on the trail eventually! Keep the awesome videos coming.

[@shugemery]

[@joehorton01]

Loved the dust in the wind cover shug. You shouldve brought a fishin pole

[@shugemery]

I may start toting some fishing stuff once in a while.

[@StoneE4]

That tea looks like the water I once found in an old rusty Folgers can that must have been sitting in the woods for 20 years. 😁

[@shugemery]

Zazzy water!

[@lindseyaltermatt]

Heading out to the trail soon and getting excited! I've got the same Hill billy pot and foster pot system. Also packing an URSAK and Packet Gourmet. Getting so excited to just get on the trail.

[@shugemery]

Sounds like it is gonna be mighty fine. Be vigilant and have some good fun.
