Been watching your videos for over 10 years now. I’m always amazed at your candy stash. You have the coolest finds

[@shugemery]

I have a drawerful and pretend it is not there only to be eaten whilst camping.

[@awgnaw]

Good to see Wander’nFool back on the trail! He and I have the same condition and I was holding my breath as he was crossing those logs. I have difficulty with unfamiliar, uneven terrain (even stairs)! Good for him! More good hikes in the future for you and him!

[@shugemery]

He has adapted really well to his eye since we last hiked. Quite nimble him~

[@cLogan22222]

Hey Shug, I’m a little late on this one so I hope you still see it. I found your channel when I was probably 15 years old and getting started hammock camping. I went often and used so much of what I learned from your videos. I’m 28 now with 2 little boys and a career. I haven’t gotten a chance to hang in a few years. One day I’ll start taking them when they are old enough and pass on what you taught me. I come back to your videos often partially because they remind me of a simpler time in my life. Just want to say thank you and show some appreciation for helping make some of my memories better.

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy)))) The woods await.....

What a joy to have a new video from you today. My wife and I just got back from camping along the Blue Ridge Parkway. So, I’m watching as I relax after a much needed scrub. I really appreciate the time you take to put these together. It’s inspiring to me and I’ve learned a lot.

So thanks to your videos I recently got to enjoy the 11.5 hour sleep you have bragged about all these years. I’m 50 not in the best shape and hit the trail with my oldest son (26) for a overnight trip here in Tennessee. We encountered rain and cold temps but was prepared for both. I have never slept so good on the woods as I did that night. Thanks for all your information and insight over the years. Planning a winter camp soon here in Tennessee to see how that goes…

Hi Shug! I had to pause the video. I am glad I am not the only one that appreciates the positive effect of wax paper on certain food. The set-up with Superior Hammock is great. I can't tell you the number of times that I have seen the perfect spot, but it lacked the requisites for a proper hang and had to pass it up. The rigging, with this unit, appears to be straight forward and lite. You set the standard, my lollygagging friend. Woo Buddy))))!

Wax paper sure does do something. Maybe it is just a good memory but glad you like it as well.

I started watching your videos couple weeks ago. I've been hammocking for about 6 years and your channel is a gem, speaking of tips and advices, humour, music and nature.

Hey hey hey.

thanks, Shug. I have been looking at that setup and wondering IF. I have the Tenza stand and love using it. But as you know too heavy for hiking. I like to go some places where there aren't a lot of trees...... hmmmm
