[@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)))))

[@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.

[@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!

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy))))

[@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)))))

[@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!

[@dennistakacs722]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jadeuru]

loved the flowers and peaceful walk , thanks for taking us along

[@shugemery]

Them flowers was pretty.....

[@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!

[@geneelliott3230]

Fantastic flower season there, I miss hiking up in the high Rockies and seeing the early flowers!

[@shugemery]

It was a wonderful time to be up there.

[@Perkolady4]

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

[@shugemery]

and frivolity. F'ank you.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Ontrail82]

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.

[@panzerabwerkanone]

I once heard someone say that worry was a waste of imagination. I'm glad you took us on your trip! I thankee that you pressed on to an even more beautiful camping site. The video was outstanding! Reuben mit Schwartzbrot

[@shugemery]

Thank you for that.

[@ergot57]

Thanks. Glad to know I'm not the only 59 year old that still talks in funny voices out there. Always enjoy your work.

[@shugemery]

You are not alone.

[@briannelson1057]

I thought I sensed the presence of the Shug while on the trail this week. I hiked for four glorious (and muddy) days between Lutsen and Tettegouche. Whoo Buddy!

[@shugemery]

That is a darn good walk.....done it myself

[@Nojack71]

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

[@shugemery]

Thanks for that.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.....

[@CoolerkingsOutdoorAdventures]

Of course we enjoyed coming along with you buddy! It's sad to hear about those guys in the accident, but as you say, when Mother Nature gets involved..... Thanks for sharing!

[@shugemery]

It can be scary out there ....

[@CoolerkingsOutdoorAdventures]

+shugemery it can indeed!

[@223rocks]

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.

[@user-jw8pj9gr5o]

Great hiking/hammock camping video as usual. Didn't look like the bugs were much of an issue. That always makes it a good time.

[@shugemery]

It was windy and that helped. Plus I was prepared.

[@shugemery]

Fun to look back and dream of going again.......................

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Another awesome video Shug , Thanks for the ride along

[@shugemery]

Yessir....a right good ride it was.

[@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.

[@eitser7376]

Another great trip/video, thanks for taking us along!! Shug shirts are being printed right now, whooo buddy!! Hoping it arrives before my next backpacking trip, it'll be my new camp shirt!! Salamat Po, Mr Shug!!!

[@shugemery]

[@stephaniegrace8623]

what a pleasure to remember the spring in October, thanks!

[@shugemery]

Also like to watch October in Spring. I always want to be where I am not.

[@ethanminier5542]

Thanks for the video, Shug. I've learned a ton about hammock camping from your channel. In fact, I spent the night in mine last night!

[@shugemery]

Yessir.

[@tomfranta5495]

Great stuff Shug. We do care that you and everyone stays safe in the woods. Now I'm going to have "and I know, I know, I know.... running through my head all night.

[@shugemery]

Could be a worse song invading your dreams!

[@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.

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy)))))

[@coldmountain1291]

Glad to see you out and about , your hammock invintory seems to be endless. I just picked up a Hennessy with a super shelter for my wife and a scout for my son. They come with everything you need to get outside , even snake skins and an asym style tarp. If you get a chance take a peek at them. Thanks again for all the awesome videos and reviews on gear. they have helped me and I'm sure others a great deal. whoooooooo buuudddy

[@shugemery]

I have never laid up in a Hennessy. Glad your liking it.

[@a.gunguy1054]

Amazing Shug. Linville for me and the brother next year. thanks for the guidance. just got back from a 3 day AT Hike. glorious time. Hike on Shug.

[@shugemery]

Be careful...the Gorge has been angry this year!

[@a.gunguy1054]

Saw that from your video.

[@a.gunguy1054]

Shug, I will hike the Linville Gorge with my new SHUG Shirt! Whooo Buddy!

[@keithlapere7650]

Another great adventure shug. See ya brought Karl with ya! Thx for the vid. always a pleasure to watch.

[@bwilliams3227]

Yer vids are awsome Shug! Thanks for taking us!

[@shugemery]

Y'elcome and thankee.

[@daveh9907]

Thanks for taking me along Shug, I enjoyed it almost as much as being there, Whoo Buddy!

[@shugemery]

That was a right good wee trip. Thankee.

[@JTMinnesota]

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

[@shugemery]

I went with how I felt. Needed to internalize.

[@JTMinnesota]

+shugemery Cool. But don't overdo it hiking wise; my little 9 month old girl has to see you at the fair this year!

[@TomTirabasso]

Really enjoyed that. Thanks man! And that sandwich and pie deal at the end was so nice. I love to cap off a trip like that.

[@shugemery]

Yes...the sandwich was tops. Thanks.

[@Outdorsenit]

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]

Cool man. I'll be at the Snowbird Extravaganza in Lakeland Jan 31.

[@ekhaat]

I did have fun coming with you, thank you very much Whooo Budddeeeeehhhh

[@shugemery]

I felt you there.

[@mikelaur3758]

You Sir I think I would like to swap stories around a campfire with you someday. Hiking alone is awesome but one does think if something happens who would know but has never deterred me good to see you out again.

[@shugemery]

I do like a solo too. I am getting more careful as I age.

[@jodygoodrich1071]

Love the videos Shug, keep it up. I'm from northern MN myself and you've inspired my wife and I to start the whole hiking camping thing so thank you

[@shugemery]

Make my heart all warm. Carry Forth!

[@andrewpaulreynolds6329]

Love your into! 💕 Cool video. We are headed up there soon. I’ve hiked alone as a woman many times and I’ve been completely fine. Of course I’m careful too though. Love it! ❤️💕💜🌸🦋

[@shugemery]

Enjoy your trip up there.

[@RobGb100]

Thankee for dragging us along :-) Shame about the guys who fell foul of the outdoors but you are right we have to keep going out there and enjoying it for both our souls and those who have had misfortune thrust upon them, it is a form of deep respect. atb Rob

[@shugemery]

Y'elcome and thanks for the words.

[@PeteSeeker455]

...and... I love that song, from a long time ago- thanks Shug! Pete D.---

[@shugemery]

Thankee and I will.

[@atommachine]

Great Filming as always thanks for the trip!

[@shugemery]

Thanks Man.

[@Aethelwulf_Freawine]

Great job Shug! The video work was so good, I felt like I was on the hike with you. Enjoyed the vistas, flora, soundtrack, etc...We got hit hard with the wind you mentioned in S. Muskegon county, lots of big trees down. Yeah, more than 2 or 3 is a crowd, it just mucks up the experience for everyone. Glad you kept your corpse feet covered. Great area, thanks for bringing it to us.

[@shugemery]

My feet were even more corpsey on this trip due to walking in mud. They shut my camera down!

[@TimWatsonOutdoors]

Very cool hike shug. I agree with you about worry. I try to relax and be in my own thoughts but wallowing in worry is a good way to ruin your trip.

[@shugemery]

I have camped with folks with the worry plague. Never camped with them again. Woods time is a gift.

[@brianmowers307]

Great trip, and you done Bill Withers proud...an all-time favorite!!

[@shugemery]

Thanks for that.

[@derwyngolden6691]

Thanks for the video about your business career. Stay blessed and keep producing these great videos.

[@whopua]

Had a great time "with you" on this one!

[@shugemery]

Happy am I for that. Thanks.

[@whopua]

+shugemery I was sort of wondering if you were going to bring up that tragic incident on the boundary waters there. I'd heard about it and figured you would have too based on your proximity. That was real kind, what you said.

[@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.

[@johnrufner889]

Shug, thanks for taking us with you. How I miss MN.

[@shugemery]

MN sure grows on ya'. Thankee.

[@matt4270]

Great trip Shug! Thrunite now makes a AA battery headlamp called the TH20. Easy to get fuel for those!

[@shugemery]

I got the good rechargable battery. Used it 8 nights in a row once on a trip and it kept going. I'm sold.

[@fosterwayne6684]

Thanks Shug. I wanted to tell you I found myself a genuine hillbilly pot at my local Salvation Army store, I took it on my last outing and boiled up some water just for you, I didn't cook anything, just boiled some water.

[@shugemery]

Nothing like a good boil.....

[@johnwessinger7768]

Shug I am a new subscriber and I have been enjoying watching your videos for the first time. Very entertaining indeed but enjoyable as well. Also interesting to see some of my other you tubers I watch also enjoying your videos. Thanks for your craziness ans your knowledge doing what you do including your cooking BBQ. Originally my wife and I are from South Carolina but now living in Memphis, TN. to olde to do your thing on the hammock but I enjoy watching others! God Bless!

[@shugemery]

Thankee. Break out the mustard sauce!

[@wheaton3205]

Been enjoying your videos for a while now. Gotta live vicariously through someone. Happened to watch Slingblade the other night. Hhhmhmmm. Makes me laugh even harder now when I watch. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@shugemery]

Thankee. I watch Slingblade every year. Carry forth.

[@KevinOutdoors]

Good overnight'er. This could be re-named 'Safety in the Backcountry with Shug!'. Stay safe Shug!

[@shugemery]

I was trying to be a bit philisophical.....I hope I spelled that correctly.

[@ProgFilms]

Glad to see you're keeping safe out there with the GPS tracker. Looked like a great time!

I do the same thing with Ramen. Break an egg on top of the boiling noodles. Mmm... good.I just got the new Thru Nite headlamp this week. Wanted one lighter than the one you use and they have finally delivered. Thrunite TH20. Uses a single AA battery and weighs 96 grams or 3.4 ounces. I used it all day installing a new faucet set and ran through the battery. Quite a few hours. Forgot I was wearing it.Thanks for the vids.PS Just realized as I'm writing this that I'm earing a Shug shirt.PPS Off to a boring task force meeting.

[@shugemery]

I have one of those Thru-Nites coming my way. Thanks on the shirt!

Don't feel like selling the tshirts are ebegging it's all good and people know who you which is a crazy banjo picker in a hammock. You should come to my neck of the woods the big redwood trees of Santa Cruz California. Keep the vids coming. Ps doc Ralph Stanely passed away yesterday. Sad day.

Shug, I ordered a bunch stuff from packitgourmet.com and when I placed the order, I mentioned in the "Comments" that I found about them from one of your videos. When we got the package, the girl who packed the order had drawn a heart around your name to show a deep appreciation for the referral. The Austintacious Tortilla Soup was good - it's all good; it's from Texas.

[@shugemery]

I really like the Austintacious Tortilla Soup. Great food company. Hope you enjoy it on the trail.

[@EatCarbs]

Great trip Shug! I have a bag of that Ramen Rescue.. but I haven't gotten around to using it yet. One thing I like to add to my ramen is thin sliced pork I get at an Asian Market near me. Just pop it into the boiling water and it cooks right up. Thanks for the video

[@shugemery]

Yum!

[@EatCarbs]

I may have to do a video on it >_o
