Different Hammock Styles....

[@stoicodysseys6352]

Shug the legend and national treasure. I am a hammock camper but I wouldn't mind mocking on the wild side of life. Your dad seemed like a good man and his son is pretty awesome too.

[@shugemery]

Nothing like a good Mock. My Dad was. He has been on my mind a lot of late. Writing stories and my memoir of circus days.

[@stoicodysseys6352]

Thank you for sharing Shug, it does make me take pause knowing how you became you and the binding blocks of your life. I like to hear the details of the Shug experience. Maybe a Life of Shug book is in order?

[@sandywieringa4434]

It's always a good day... when Shug posts a video!

[@shugemery]

I had fun doing this one. Thankee.

[@adambane1719]

Its a shug day !

[@onemileattatime2642]

Whoops Buddy! I went down a Shug Memory Lane watching a number of your older videos - went back a decade and more to watch! Your humor is timeless!

[@shugemery]

I am so young then. Can't believe I have been doing this for 17 years!

[@OutdoorFreedomDk]

I have being sleeping in my Hennessy hammock, hanging OVER my bed, for over two years now. And of course also use it on my bike camping trips, It's good for my sour bag.

[@shugemery]

Whooooo Buddy)))) Sour Bag!

[@brianadventures9622]

Oh my gosh Shug, let me tell you... I live across the street from a small University and when the students are out studying in their hammocks my wife jokes that I need to give a lecture on proper hang angles and how they could be more comfortable!! 😜

[@shugemery]

Maybe I could be Dean of Hammock Study Hang.

Always feel better bout myself after watching your videos shug. Think a lot of folk will share that. Thank you, Ian 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It is a rich and good feeling. No harm, no foul....

[@Nithhoggr]

I take my hammock out, but i love it so much i put lag bolts with eyes in my room and i set my hammock up there and read sometimes. Uts real nice.

[@shugemery]

The world is all good when in a hammock. A peaceful cocoon of tranquilty.

[@sheilahenry7279]

Me too. My husband put it up & I have my own room. Boho & hammock. When the snoring is bad I head to the hammock. No back aches & no acid reflux there.

I am a hammock camper and also sleep in my hammock at home. Hammocker 365 days a year. 😀woo buddy

[@flaskehrlenmeyer4349]

I'd be a hammock camper 365 days a year but this year I had to get a hotel for three nights... what a horror.

[@shugemery]

Like taking your bed camping right!!!

Hello guys :) im New to hammock camping . I am 74 inch long and search a New hammock. Can u help me to find my New outdoor Hotel :D

[@shugemery]

@@De_FlaY You will just have to find one you can get. Search camping hammocks on amazon.

[@johnfulater2945]

[@shugemery]

Such a simple thing...a hammock....has a lot of range.

[@ryankeane8072]

I’ve been loving my new 30 deg Superior Gear Elite hammock, 2 fall trips so far. It’s is so cozy and nice to hang and lay in it and immediately start warming up.

[@shugemery]

Warmth is no issue in the SGs. My Winter Go-To hammocks. Glad you are enjoying yours.

[@MeetMeOutside]

Been using hammocks for over 12 years now, all kinds, Dutch ware, Warbonnet, hammock gear, my go to is the Warbonnet Elderado, just love it !

[@Kassul42]

And we're happy to be watching and listening to you Shug!

[@shugemery]

Thankee and a deep bow here.

[@wolfgrube]

Hello, great video. I use a hammock stand, put it in the middle of the horse meadow and look at the stars.

[@shugemery]

That sounds wonderful~~~

[@RickMunday]

"Thankee"! What a way to get ready for the weekend. A new Shug video. Como Park is a great place to hang out and explore. I worked in and out of Eagan for a couple years, there's a lot of nice parks around the area. The only ones I never really got to when I worked there were the ones on the south side of Minneapolis (Harriet and etc.). I finally got to see them in 2019.

[@shugemery]

Great park for sure! We are a very parky city~

[@andycomley]

@ I use that all the time at work and confuse people… All good in sector Seven!! Hope you are well.

[@jbcardin]

Good to see another hammock video Shug. I remember a few years ago I was getting in to hammock camping and stumbled across your video where you ripped ol Green Bean. I set in to watching everything you had. Then I saw your videos about juggling and unicycles. Then mandolin and now bass. It's almost like watching all my hobbies by a good friend I've never met. Thanks for the good times!

[@shugemery]

Wow. Thankee for this comment and watching all that. I hardly pick up the mandolin these days as I just enjoy the bass so much.

[@Strokesurvivor50]

I needed this Shug. You always make me laugh when I have a crappy day. And BTW thanks for introducing me to descender rings suspension. Hang on Wooo Buddy Oh and waiting on detaile Majestic hammock looksee

[@shugemery]

Ahhh...the good ol' descender rings live on!

[@hughdfukairs1768]

Always liked gray days. Do . . NOT . . touch MYEEE . . Lorna Doons. Gilligan’s Island; all comfy in a hammock, and never seen ‘em in a bad mood really. Well done lettin’ all hammockers know ‘s alright. WHOOO BUD-DAAYYY!

[@shugemery]

A raw cold misty gray day wraps one in a flannel....eating comfort food, reading. YEAH! Meg is a Lorna Doone lover so that just popped out of me.

[@rodoutdoors]

I think I first saw a hammock in the TV show Gilligan's Island. I thought it was the coolest thing when I was a kid. Thanks for showing me how it's done years later. 👍

[@shugemery]

Little Buddy had it right! Whoooooo Buddy))))

[@VIandVII_VIIIths]

I've been hanging out for quite some time to see a video like this.

[@shugemery]

I had fun making this one. Thankee.

[@kgilliagorilla2761]

I drove truck in the late 70s early 80s. I was in a truck stop in Florida waiting for a load. I was parked next to some crazy movers (bedbuggers in trucking lingo). Moving trailers are huge inside, with vertical metal strips every couple of feet to secure load straps. These guys had all the doors open, side doors, and stung straps side to side and wrapped moving blankets around to form a hammock. The 3 or 4 blankets locked each other together. Hanging out (literally) all day and telling stories was a blast. I think a hammock made of Dutch’s Cloud 71 would be a great “mocking” hammock for warm weather. 🙏 Thanks and cheers!

[@shugemery]

I can totally visualize that~

[@kgilliagorilla2761]

@ back in the day 😊

[@bucky716]

Scouting day time hammock hanging spots is as exciting as scouting new trails and camp sites.

[@shugemery]

I'm always seeing stuff too. It is fun.

[@williamreeder3660]

Hey Cuz it is good to see you again … on here I’ll be on Cumberland island next month for a week in my tent…. Hoping to get some good night sky photography… take care

[@shugemery]

Hey Cuz. Top Notch Tenting to ya'

[@uptrail7169]

I never really used any hammock until I started hammock camping 10 years ago. I watched your videos for years before I bought my first hammock. They are awesome! WooooooBuddy))))

[@shugemery]

Are you getting good sleep in your hammock?

[@uptrail7169]

@shugemery I sleep the best in my hammock. My wife is getting back to using a tent more. I bought the zpacks duplex tent last year to prepare for a future thru hike with her. With a good sleeping pad it's a good setup. I still prefer my hammock.

[@amrose250]

Woo Buddy! It’s a Shug day!

[@shugemery]

That is an everyday occurrence for me~~

[@daviddevine1757]

I looked the other day I've been subscribed since 2007 and realised that's the year my son was born, must of been out mocking myself flicking through vids now he's 2 hammocks of his own..💚

[@bernielamont825]

Hey Sh Sh Shug! Transitioning from being a ground dweller to hammocking. I know quite a bit about tenting, but thanks to you and your videos I'm learning quite a bit about hammocking. I just can't get over how warm I sleep in temps from the mid to low 30's. Being an "old" man of 66, I now find it waaaay more comfortable, should be able to camp now for years to come until I need a team of Sherpas to pack it for me.

[@hilaryterland2172]

Mocking is how I got into hammock camping. I’d take a cheap hammock car camping with me and while in my campsite, I’d lounge in my hammock and read, or nap. I’d sit in it sideways and use it like a chair. I’d hang it in my backyard and do the same. Then I got my kids their own cheap ones and we’d all mock in the backyard. Then I came to KZbin to try to figure out how to make ir more comfortable. And found Shug. And now I hammock camp.

[@shugemery]

Mock/Camping...best of both worlds. I love the 10 hours sleep I get camping in my hammock...priceless snooze-ola~~~

[@jimhendrix7566]

[@dgaerobatics1764]

Watching your brilliant control line videos brought me to watch your hammock videos. I also use a hammock in the woods mainly for stopping off for a hot drink and some food, it's also been hung up inside the van when staying at model plane events. Thank you for posting Shug, enjoyed the video!

[@shugemery]

I love that kind of serendipity....

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

When I was in the US Air Force flying C-130s out of Japan, some of the guys would get net hammocks and poncho liners and on long deadhead flights they would string them in the back of the plane and get a nice sleep.

[@shugemery]

Now that is the way to Transport!!!

[@user-ur2sc7wn7i]

I work as a rope tech on oil rigs, wind turbines etc. I dont move without my trusty hammock/ poncho liner. It turns any cold, dirty, unhospitable place into cosy space.

Going backpacking after Thanksgiving...so pretty soon-ish.......

[@wolf1066]

Back in my 20s I had a nylon "net" style gathered end hammock - cheap light compact thing that took up next to no room in my pack - that I'd take up with me while camping for relaxing in during the day and I'd sleep in my tent at night. It wasn't the most comfortable thing to lie in with the thin nylon cords, or I might've been tempted to try sleeping in it at night (and probably would've had an uncomfortable cold night - because I knew nothing about how to set up a hammock for sleeping - that would've put me off hammock camping for life). Now I hammock camp but I was given a large Mayan-style hammock - quite heavy and bulky to carry - which is ideal for lounging around - or "mocking" - on a sunny afternoon.

[@shugemery]

That is a great story and the Mayan hammocks are a bit much to carry for camping for sure. I need to get one of those someday.

I always am....

[@bradg6588]

Happy new year shug! I'm sure you've answered this 500 times but I couldn't see it in the 4.3 seconds looking lol. Why do you prefer to hang your head end lower then your feet ?? Thank you sir and great job on the bass playing, sounds Dandy.

[@shugemery]

It is just a preferred way to hang. Puts me in my sweet spot and I don't have worry about my feet sliding out the end. Warbonnet hammocks always recommend feet high and it is in their instructions. Thanks on the bass stuff. I truly enjoy playing it. Brings me joy and always learning stuff. Foot High info: Blackbird, Blackbird XLC, Traveler hammock Setup: The following describes a detailed setup method that should result in maximum comfort (vs. simply hanging between 2 trees and getting inside, which works also.) Find 2 trees that are ideally 13-17′ apart. Hang the hammock so that “once occupied” the foot end is about 16″ higher than the head end, and by “end” I mean the end of the fabric, not the attachment point on the tree itself. Since the foot end needs to be significantly higher, the easiest way to achieve this is often to just position the hammock much closer to the foot tree AND attach the webbing to the foot tree at head height or above. Having the head end farther away from it’s tree means it will sink more when you get in and that is usually what you want. The BB/XLC/Traveler is designed to be laid in “off-center” so that your head is very close to the head end of the hammock while your feet are alot farther away from the foot end. This allows the fabric under your legs to spread out properly when laying on the diagonal. To do this you’ll want to lay so that your eyes are aprox. even with the farthest side tieout (BB or XLC) so that one tieout is even with your eyes and the other is chest level. Once you are laying in this correct spot you will then determine if you want the head/foot end higher or lower. Most people will want it setup so that when your eyes are even with the tieout that you are basically level/horizontal f

I'm living and working at the beach here in Texas, I have a stand of black pipe tucked in underneath my bed slash kitchen, but can't leave it here when I go to work!

So where do you put it?

[@gogsalba4573]

There are chamockers..as well.. kind of a cross between a chair and a hammock.. who knew 😅..

[@shugemery]

And there are glam-o-kers.....

[@jeffsackett679]

Shug, I'm curious about the Superior Gear Hammock you have there. Have you reviewed them? I've learned a ton from you and you've made a great impact on my camping in recent years. Thank you.

[@shugemery]

Not a proper review as such but have used it on many trips and there are shots of it all through there on those videos. But I will be. Thought just showing me using it would be good for my regular viewers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3KbZ5eJaMmnm5Isi=e9xB4N26tG0PP0c0 Timeline in description box below this video. Here is a Playlist with trips where I use in, even down to -31º.

Thanks for the video Shug as always! Love that superior gear hammock. Been eyeballing it for a couple years now. Hard to beat my amazing Warbonnet Blackbird XLT. Hey, what are the socks you mentioned a few years back that you wear in the winter time? I bought some and LOVE them but can’t recall what they are called. Was it possum fur? Mole fur? Why am I thinking it’s possum fur? Let me know if you see this comment.

[@shugemery]

They are Possum Down socks. Can't remember where i got mine....www.sweaterchalet.com/possumdown/possumdown-bushman-sock/

Shug. I understand when people wake up at dawn in Greece. People are some are really angry. Beause :Dawn is tough on Greece. At least it is a clean joke.

[@shugemery]

That made me laugh out loud. Funny as I have been writing my memoir and Greece is a big part of it.

Great video Shug! I have a question for you and I don’t remember hearing the answer in your cook kit videos. How do you measure water for your meals in your imusa pot? Does it have measurement markers or do you eyeball it?

[@shugemery]

I have a few marks scratched on the inside but I mainly just wing it.
