Beaver Bay to Split Rock River Overnight/Superior Hiking Trail

[@markleblanc291]

Shug it’s been many years since I camped in the woods, over 20. 1997 in fact was the last time on the AT. Kids, traveling for work etc...have kept me away, man I have missed it. Last week I went out with the tent in the woods. I forgot how many noises are in the forest at night! More importantly, I forgot how much I miss it and enjoy the time alone. Another thing, I realize especially watching your videos is setting up camp with a hammock and sleeping in a hammock is the way to go. I’m off this weekend with the hammock for round #2. Keep doing what you do! You’re an inspiration!!

[@shugemery]

Ahhhh....the sounds of the night woods! Lulls me. Whoooooo Buddy)))))

[@josephallen19]

That was a very enjoyable watch :)

[@shugemery]

I thankee.

[@henrydabomb1]

Joe Robinet and shug you guys are my two favorite youtubers! You both should meet up for a trip together. That would be an awesome video!

[@olimidgley]

It would be like a youtube wildcamp version of the Avengers. Except good.

[@brianshelley88]

Meet up in MI

[@b5maddog]

Your SOS button makes me feel a lot better knowing that it makes you feel safer. Wouldn't want anything happen to you. I'd miss ya. Thanks Shug for taking us along for your trip.

[@shugemery]

I now hike with reckless abondon!

[@JTMinnesota]

With this terrible weather, I've been thinking of all the solo jaunts through the piney (and cedary) woods you've done over the years. Man, you're an inspiration to a lot of folks, Shug. Stay safe out there...

[@shugemery]

Dodgy out there in this weather. Trees down here at home. I was in the hammock testing and bailed. Limbs a falling.

[@brerbug2240]

"Found" you on YT not too long ago. You probably didn't know you were lost. Excellent technique you have for capturing the beauty of nature, and you are very informative with a natural sense of humor.

[@shugemery]

Thankee and a big Whoooooo Buddy)))))

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Did the people not realise that hammock camping royalty was amongst them 😉 looked a great trip, envious of the scenery and trails as always...great video.

[@shugemery]

I was not wearing my sash or crown so they did not know.

[@Perkolady4]

Fantastically filled with flora, fauna, flowage, and frolicking fun! (wipes mouth)... Thanks again, Shug! :D

[@shugemery]

and frivolity. F'ank you.

[@dzermas]

Dear Shug, as a greek person living and backpacking in Minnesota, I appreciate your tribute to my native language. For your great work, thank you (efharisto :D )!

[@shugemery]

Ihave fond fond memories of living in Greece.

[@HighRoad317]

We love you for who you are Shug! Your compassion and empathy are great. I would love for you to have a sit down and share your big foot tales with us. They are out there and good people. Look forward to it bless you brother Shug, your always in our prayers!

You have a great knack at editing that keeps your videos very interesting... well, your personality carries most of the weight.

Thanks for that.

Hey Shug, looks like a great area to go to recharge your batteries and wash off all your everyday worries.Thanks for taking us along....great video.

Here I thought I’d seen every person who’s made SHT video and then I find you! I love your older videos from before I discovered the trail! You should keep making videos! You do a damn good job! 👌🏼 Happy Hiking!

[@shugemery]

I do have quite a few SHT vids....kzbin.info/aero/PLahaAdtfX9ZK6uRYRC7zwwDh-P9J4-HoV Thankee.

[@shugemery]

Thank you for that.

[@rustedmind7846]

I've seen just about all your hammock tutorial videos, but this is the first time I've watched one of your overnighters. You're a good man, Shug. Thanks to you and Bearded Hanger, I've got a hammock comin' my way. I appreciate what ya do, buddy. God bless ya.

[@mat-ventures]

Loved the views, birds of prey, the underground river, the Butterfly maaaaaannnnn! Really purdy hat!

[@EconoChallenge]

It is really good to see you out and about. Loved the play on words about the great lake!!! I should try more one night outings. Love it. Thanks Shug!

[@shugemery]

The one nighters are very worth it for sure.

[@MARLEYFANcbr]

The other day my 4yr old boy and I came to this beautiful vista view way out in the woods and sure enough he said "WOOOOH Buddy". Your ramble about not hiking with "worry" really makes sense, I didn't realize until you said it but that is how I feel too.

[@shugemery]

Yessir....like your son's style!

[@TawnaTV]

So happy for a saunter with Shug! After watching your winter adventures it's nice to see the Superior trail in bloom. Thanks for toting us along.

[@shugemery]

Yes...it was an amazing time to be out, even for just a night.

[@lonestarprepper0156]

Thanks for taking me along although it can get a bit stuffy in your pocket sometimes. Always enjoy your trips and get some ideas to try out myself.

[@shugemery]

I felt you there I did.

[@mystarave]

Hey Shug, love your videos and love your vibe. Keep taking us along, helps me live vicariously when I don't have the time to get out myself. If you're ever around NYC, give me a shout for a nice hike. Keep up the good work!

[@shugemery]

Lived in NYC from 1983 to 1989. 440 E. 78th St. Used to romp Central Park at night just to get some woods time. Had some interesting moments.

[@shugemery]

Whoa...that is a lot of me!

[@mathewlochner2508]

Hiya Shug, I commented about a plant on one of your videos yesterday and it has got me watching all of your footage now. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your trips with us, seeing some early summer SNF footage helps me get through the long Minneapolis winters. Also, you're right about the bunchberries; they're in the same genus (Cornus) as dogwoods, very closely related. Appreciate your attention to flora, landscape, and the more human aspects of backpacking!

[@shugemery]

Those little things make my trips.

[@jofuji8255]

Mate I watch your videos down here in Australia. I'm going through a rough time at the minute and your videos put a smile on my face and give me a bit of a boost. So as we say in there parts - Onya Shuggo! 👍

[@shugemery]

Glad to serve...anytime. May the rough patch cease and desist.

[@Chaucerfaux1]

As always Shug your videos always bring a smile and a good few chuckles to my day when i watch your outings, hilarious and much fun, Keep up the wonderful videos.

[@RandomDudeOne]

Nice memorial for the gentleman who died in the Boundary Waters storm. I discovered your channel after reading about a hiker dying on the Sioux Hustler trail last year and searching KZbin to see if there were any videos of the trail.

[@shugemery]

Great trail. Very remote. Feel for that feller.

[@tincupco]

You would be a joy to have in any camp. Such a positive outlook. Love your videos.

[@shugemery]

The woods bring out the best.....

I always enjoy these videos. Thank you. Not sure if you remember Clair Bear, Freddie Lou and Trailblazer but they all say hi.

[@shugemery]

Sure I do....hey to all.

[@willythomas584]

I agree Shug! You can’t fear the outdoors. We best defense is knowledge and experience and over course being prepared. I was a Boy Scout you know. lol The outside calls for me and I have a hard time not responding to it. I enjoy being out there by myself. You can be one with the surroundings. It sure makes me a better person if I can do that. Thanks for sharing Shug! God Bless you and your family!

[@shugemery]

Solo trips are powerful. Total focus. Whooooo Buddy))))

Great area, thanks for bringing it to us.

[@MrF4tty]

We just got out of the BWCA on 6/28/2016 and we had a great trip but the weather was very severe and left to head up there just after hearing about this poor guy and his kid. Before hanging my hammock I spent a lot of time looking at trees for anything that could come down my way but sometimes you never can tell. Our group was split up far enough where I couldn't hear or see my pals... it was a little never wracking during the evening storms but it was still very fun and a great get away.

[@shugemery]

Can't worry too much...but it is good to do some speculating.

Sitting here at work as we are having some technical problems with our plant. Got my new Dutchware whoopie sling suspension in the mail today so I brought my hammock to work to put it all together as I watched your video. Maybe we'll be up and running soon here, but till the. I'm still watching your videos! Always appreciate your humor and great tutorials on hammocks. Any idea when you might do another show here in central Florida??

[@shugemery]

Yes. I really feel for them. The statistics on folks killed from falling trees yearly is staggering. Not always out camping for the most part.

[@JTMinnesota]

I did detect a quieter, introspective tone to this one, Shug. Good stuff.
