Shug you have the most unique way of making your viewers feel like an old friend and I love it. Thanks for all the random convos and goofiness. You’re a KZbin Treasure.

[@shugemery]

Thanks for that. I see you all inside my camera.

Shug, as you get older 3 things happen: First you lose your memory, and... I forgot the other two... Anyways , Happy birthday🎁🎁🎊🎊🎉🎉!!

It’s just damn fun enjoying some chat time with Shug. Ahhh, the hammock side talks are THE best. Cheers!

[@shugemery]

Thanks feller. Best time to do a briefing. In the comfort of morning.

[@DansEarway]

Hanging with Shug is getting me through the cold Maine winter whilst I daydream about spring paddling and rock climbing. There’s a south facing crag nearby named Eagles Bluff that offers warm granite on sunny March days. The spring runoff should arrive soon thereafter. Thx Shug, Happy Belated Bday.

Thank so much for the kind words about my book, Shug! I'm glad you're enjoying "Misplaced," and I'm especially glad that you're finding the characters to be relatable. The 95 pages you have is the whole thing... it's a short, easy read... perfect for a weekend on the trail. Added bonus: even the paper copy won't add much to the ol' base weight. The book should be out this summer. Happy birthday!!!

[@shugemery]

It was a very good trail read for sure.

63 here as well my friend! This is where it all started for me way back in the 60's, was a boy scout and our troop went up to Ely, Minn. and rented canoes and went out for a week, it became ingrained in my heart and soul, during the 70's I would go up by myself for a week or 2 weeks eventually coming out for 3 weeks solo, best thing Ive ever done, now at 63 going out West to see Glacier and Yellowstone and Zion, just to start fulfilling my bucket list!!! Happy Trails all!!

I hate to tell ya "I told you so!". I recall the video you said you didn't know if you could keep making videos because you've run out of hammock stuff to talk about. (something to that effect.) I suggested you just hike, tell stories, etc. This is one - good stuff. You have a great story telling way and witty a personality. Good hike - great scenery. Happy Birthday, Sean!

I am awestruck with your discipline when you half-spammed yourself. My daughter is home from Anchorage for two weeks. Happy, happy. About the same age as yours. Have fun in Austin. I enjoy your passion for the sport. I remember Jackie Stewart's enthusiasm and humor. Going down to the Big Bend Nat'l Park to see a Star Party at McDonald Observatory in EARLY November with 2 brothers and a good friend. Then on to Terlingua for the chili cook off. I love being retired.

I finally hammock-camped for the first time last week. I had found my way down to the edge of the Saint Lawrence River, where I came across someone's secret kayak camp site, stocked full of dry wood. I could have never camped there with a tent due to all of the river rocks. I used a bugnet with an underquilt on a Onewind 11' hammock. As soon as I got into the hammock for the first time, it was truly amazing how quickly I felt warmth underneath the hammock. I setup my tarp with one side having a nice view of the river/stars. What a great experience! I just wanted to say thanks to you, Shug, for all the hammock info, laughs, and inspiration.
