[@JustinMcKinneyhiker]

I look forward to viewing your Hickery brothers trip every year. You'll are so lucky to have such a great friendship. Thanks for sharing, Shug !!

[@shugemery]

That is so true. Very lucky am I.

[@bigal5190]

I appreciate the efforts spent in creating "video magic".

[@shugemery]

No effort...love filming. something to remember.

[@Olympia_Outdoors]

shugemery That's why it so good pal!!!!!

[@tombrown3449]

Hey, Shug Sorry you had a bad time with your car. Hickery (yellow man) sure had a good time in the Gorge. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us hammock hikers. You are truly an inspiration. Keep them coming.

[@shugemery]

He was particularly gleeful this year. Cured his hemmaroids....

[@scottdunbar4898]

Thanks for sharing your adventures Shug. You two goobers are a hoot. Holding...my...breath...waiting...for...part...three......(puuhhhhh)

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@rakehell404]

Wow - spectacular scenery. I really like all of the incidental detail you include like meals, just hanging out, etc. Makes me itch to get out there.

[@shugemery]

Thanks. I do try to get al that in.

[@darkdefender1]

Sat inside on a sunny day and feeling the call of the wild whilst watching your escapades. Glad you guys have fun

[@shugemery]

Those trips go by too quickly. The pre-trip anticipation is the best.

[@jgt56]

The wife and I always look forward to the Hickery Bros.

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@BornRandy62]

CRKT Columbia River Knife and Tool. Folts made 2 or 3 different knifes that size with the same handle with the Minimalist title.

[@shugemery]

Haaaa....Hickery could not recall that. Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@livesoutdoors]

Thanks for bringing us along for the fun, really enjoying your trips.

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy))))))

[@benningtoncamper2852]

Appreciate your sharing these times in the woods!

[@shugemery]

I love too.

[@mattg2935]

RIP New Booger (I assume it was New Booger that got totalled). Glad you weren't hurt. Thanks Hickory Brothers for another great installment.

[@shugemery]

It was scary. Could have been tragic. But we went and had fun all the same.

[@rjwildlove]

I very much enjoyed the video. You Hickery Brothers sure have a good time together and that is awesome! I hope the insurance company doesn't do you bad!

[@shugemery]

Did not get as much as I wanted but won't sweat it. Rates will rocket though but could have been so much worse!

[@Survivalist2008]

I give this video a 5 Maple Leaf rating. Way to go Hickery Brothers!

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@EconoChallenge]

Glad to watch you boys having fun in the wild. Got just a little concerned when you were standing so close the edge. Then the fire ... that was good to see going out in a cloud of white smoke. A lot happened for such a short trip. I guess what I am saying is that i have been hangin on the home front far too long and need to get out.

[@shugemery]

Reckon we always need to keep getting out. Seems to never be enough.

[@aaroncasey9255]

I all ways enjoy watching your videos. Makes me want to go get my hammock and lay in.

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy)))))

[@FloridaWild]

Love that knife! It's the same one I carry, while hiking. I love my 8 oclock coffee too! Me and 'ole Kent must be kindred spirits.

[@shugemery]

Yessir...could be.

[@nohill4climber]

Thanks for part 2 guys. Sorry to hear you had a crash Shug. Hope no one was hurt and everything turns out ok in the end.

[@shugemery]

All good Ken. Just insurance hoopla and such!

[@SkogfarNo]

Love the vibe! Thank you for sharing!

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))...we go for the vibe.

[@erikgiggey4783]

sorry to hear about the car crash. things can be replaced we cannot be. thanks for sharing as usual, nice to watch and be inspired and entertained while i recover from having gallbladder surgery

[@MeetMeOutside]

Erik Giggey hope you heal up fast ! Peace

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy)))). Gall on!

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT to see you back at the Gorge.

[@joehorton01]

Sebastopolmark i agree.....sorry to hear about his car and glad he is ok

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@shugemery]

could have been much worse!

[@BackpackingBen]

You guys did do some serious work on that campfire spot. Better mark that on the GPS. ;-)

[@shugemery]

We did waypoint it. Old pit wrecked and two right next to each other. Now one good pit.

[@rodoceros]

Vehicles are replaceable. Shug isn't. Glad you're ok. Thanks for taking us along!

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@bobbyhancock3347]

Glad to see you two still at it! Don't know if you remember me from HF but I was there for years. Still HC myself but not very active on HF. Looking forward to watching more vids.

[@shugemery]

Yeah Bobby......!

[@Wingman115]

Hickery Brothers rolling hard down the trail. OG Style good stuff men.

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@mat-ventures]

[@chrismillington6839]

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@stefandudzinski9715]

Dziekuje! Jak sie masz! I already put in my calendar to see you perform at the Snowbird Extravaganza in Mesa, AZ! I'm a backpacking guide in the Grand Canyon and hope to see you in the Canyon one day!

[@shugemery]

Yessir! I have been to top of Grand Canyon but never down into it.

[@JonathanLovelace]

Wow! There has been several of us guys posting videos from Linville Gorge, it's a great place to go!

[@shugemery]

Man...busiest I have ever seen the Gorge::::::

[@gradybamill6975]

You guys do any backpacking...LOL. Thanks, great show.

[@ThePastorPiper]

Wow Shug! What fun you both have. Thanks for sharing :o)

[@shugemery]

Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@6bluestrings]

Hey Shug, excellent stuff. Thank you sir.

[@shugemery]

Snipe did me right!

[@markgibbs904]

Great show Hickory Brothers. You guys are a trip. peace

[@shugemery]

Aye!

[@guyfihi]

To be out in the woods acting silly with your best friend is one of the greatest pleasures a man can have in this life.

[@shugemery]

'Tis too true...and a right good gift.

[@RallohE]

Most excellent! Really liked that and even made my bride chuckle! Man Shug sorry to hear you totaled your vehicle... glad it didn't get you all discombobulated!

[@shugemery]

Total pain dealing with State Farm whilst in the Gorge:::::: It happens in an instant. Had just pulled off to get BBQ in Statesville. But all OK. Just ordered the new updated PK Grill!!!!

[@N2tech]

Hey Shug great video. Really enjoyed seeing The Hickery Bro's back together. Do you think you might ever move back to North Carolina maybe after you retire?

[@shugemery]

I think about a mountain house there. Beach house for my wife!

[@rogernuffer]

I bought that same night a few months back for solo hiking. an amazing positive firm grip. and sharp.

[@shugemery]

Sweet wee blade that is....

[@mobiltec]

Now-a-days the insurance company totals a car with nothing more than a bent bumper. Great video as always Shug.

[@shugemery]

I totally agree.

[@RyanSchell]

Is it ok to drink from the Linville Gorge River if you filter it? Btw that rebuilt fire pit was amazing and I'm sure the next campers loved it.

[@shugemery]

Well. Up to you. I have many times when could not draw from creek or spring. Filter for sure. Often boiled and filtered. Never got sick or anything....far as I know~~

[@eakinj]

Always enjoy your videos, hopefully (as I keep having to say) I'll be able to get out and camp soon. You keep the fire burning

[@shugemery]

Hope you get out there. Make time.

[@eakinj]

Laugh, I have time, it's the $ that's a problem. being laid off and having a mortgage. But things are starting to pick up so, in about 3 months I'm finally getting out there. Still need my Hammock setup, i don't want to bother with tents anymore. Even if I don't like the Hammock, I'd rather do that then lay on the ground (hurts my bones too much)

[@rls303]

Sorry to hear about the car, Glad you weren't hurt Shug. Great video once again

[@shugemery]

Only my pride....

[@HeartPumper]

5:30 As a Polish: Czesc Shug!! Prince Polo is a freaking cult candy bar :D I'm surprised, that you've them in US! WhoooBuddy!! :)

[@shugemery]

World Market...the candy treasure trove.

[@JanetWilham]

love you guys--whata hoot you both are!! stay safe and God bless!!

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy)))))) We feel blessed.

[@Captkman]

Another great time, thanks for bringing me along. Up in Massachusetts there is a place we call creepy camp, but when you talk about it you have to do the sign language sign for creepy.

[@shugemery]

I will have to learn that sign!

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Liking the bluegrass shug, you two always have a good laugh together, I like that you bounce off of each other. A fine bromance. Good stuffety stuff shugety.

[@shugemery]

I love picking bluegrass! Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))

[@MaffTUK]

just simply a great vid Shug.

[@Mcmccart]

In my local supermarket I came upon some medaglia doro instant espresso... and may I say it is delightful ... thanks shug. Do you use one teaspoon or two to make it stronger?

[@shugemery]

I use a fat ounce!

[@ergot57]

Thanks again Guys! I'm guessing you either have numerous friends around the world or a very well stocked grocery chain near you.

[@ergot57]

Wrap the winged shirt around a sapling and twist away. Natures spin cycle. Good to see M/K showing up too.

[@ergot57]

A different kind of Hickory?

[@ergot57]

Sorry for the run on comments, but I am sorry to hear about the collision and glad you are ok.

[@shugemery]

Both!

[@shugemery]

Could have been so much worse::::

[@Jwnorton]

With the severe drought in the South, are fires sill allowed in the hiking areas?

[@shugemery]

There was no fire ban when we went down...but there is currently.

[@adaseth]

Whoooaa, that Prince Polo must've come a looooong way. It is really quite good when not beaten to death ;) When did you go exactly, btw? 'Cause I was camping right around the end of September down here, would be cool if it was the same time half way around the world ;)

[@shugemery]

We were there just last week...23 thru 30th.

[@finfeederfishing3842]

Sweet! You know if the fishing is good in the Gorge?

[@shugemery]

I don't fish but saw some huge trout down there.

[@cetuspa]

at 15:53 is that the cliff that feller fell from and near died dead??? Just wunnering

[@shugemery]

Nope...he fell a bit more North of there. That is Shortoff Mountain on the video.

[@tomaszsamsel7710]

Czesc, jak sie masz Shug :) Good pronunciation. Last thing i was expecting to see, is you turning polish :) Looks like you had a great fun. Good work on making this video, makes me miss the woods again. Regards from Dublin :)

[@shugemery]

I worked with many Polish acrobats in the Circus...the best guys and gals.:::

[@rogerc7972]

[@shugemery]

Straight up for me:::::

[@johniac7078]

[@mat-ventures]

Loved the Hillbilly shake!

[@shugemery]

Miss that whole trip already. Brings peace.

[@eakinj]

btw, sorry to hear about the car

[@shugemery]

Just a car!

[@eakinj]

I should mention I (foolishly) made the assumption everyone was alright, that's why I just mentioned the car in that comment - So anyway, yup just a car, that's not really the part I'm sorry about, it's the headache that comes with it. my engine on my saturn vue blew up on me while I was on the freeway (and to this day no explanation why, the oil had been changed a month before and was fine and I wasn't rough on it) it is certainly in inconvenience.

[@_Roasted_Marshmallow]

Columbia river knife and tool is crkt I think

[@shugemery]

Righto.

[@hanlongemma]

Shugtastic video!
