It's the Bean Show with special guest, Shug.

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy))))

[@nathansharp3193]

I noticed you larks-headed your headlamp onto your ridgeline. I used to do that too...Until I realized that I could just clamp the headlamp onto the line using the hinge of my headlamp. It makes getting it off in the dark much easier. I haven't had any problems with it falling doing it that way. It also fixes the light in a position that doesn't shine in my eyes or wiggle around if I need some indirect lighting at night. Give it a try if you haven't already. It's worked great for me and is one of those tiny little details that has improved my setup for me.

[@shugemery]

I may try but you know how old men are set in their ways.......

[@nathansharp3193]

shugemery : It makes for a quicker draw on those cold, new moon nights early (Early!) in the morning before the sun's up and you have a few extra layers between you and your midnight piss. Every second counts! It's definitely worth a try, it's worked great for me or I never would've mentioned it to you. You've shared so many good tips with me, I figured I could share an idea that may help you.

[@teamambrose74]

Shug, never thought anyone could steal the show from you, but Bean gave you a run for money today ;) Wooodoggie!

[@shugemery]

He is pretty fun.

[@rhettoracle9679]

A gear hammock under your rear hammock is a near and dear hammock!

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy))))

[@TheSemtexCow]

Great to see that shoulders got its movement back, and sector sevens got a new guard dog. Was half expecting a dog hammock to appear 😀. Have a great time with Bean, he looks a real character.

[@shugemery]

Shoulder feels really good. Bean is fun.

[@libertyfivefivesix]

A little Friday Shugar, just what I needed.

[@shugemery]

[@dabul808]

I just love that little Bean!

[@shugemery]

He is a charmer.

[@uptrail7169]

I only use a mesh ridgeline organizer from Dutch and hang my headlamp on the ridgeline. Cool little dog and he looks something like our dog. Maybe he could be Shug's new hiking partner! WhooooBuddy))) 😀

[@shugemery]

If the weather was mild and no snow, ice and mud and cold I would maybe try a night. But my daughter will reclaim him in early May.

Gear Hammock is my favorite accessory of all time!

[@yobentley7274]

Just got back from Key West. Took two Shug Shirts and paraded them around. On jet skis, parasailing, a moped and fishing boat. My wife and I had a great time and proudly showed our support for you my friend. Great vid. I need to make a mesh gear back very soon. Been needing one.

I think you need to bring on this guest star more. It'll be great for numbers.

[@shugemery]

Aye.....but numbers be danged~~~~

[@BentbrooksRambles]

Now that was some good stuff! Nice to see all those options! Bean, too. I’m waiting to see you balancing Bean on your unicycle! 😉

Don't temp me!....

Bean has a handy balance divot (at the base of his tail), just the right size for a nose. LOL

[@h3ynevermind]

I have a feeling your daughter is going to be looking for a new dog when she gets back from two month trip.😉

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

@@shugemery :- That's what I said...now I don't want to ever see my little buddy leave.

[@unclebrownson]

I use those bags for picking up after your dog, for storing Tootsie Rolls in. When I walk my dog, I can nibble on Tootsies from the bag, and NO ONE ever asks to share! They do kind of look at me funny....;-)

[@shugemery]

Darn good gag!

[@christophermckellar1352]

Good times with the granddog. Glad your shoulder is better! Regarding old guys being set in their ways, I’m an old guy, too. Nobody likes a new trick like an old dog.

[@shugemery]

Thanks. And my shoulder feels great!

[@Home-GrownHomestead]

Beans been converted to hammock sleeping too, noticed he yawned when he got in it lol

[@shugemery]

He sure loves a good nap.

[@darthmperator]

I wanna try hammock camping this summer.

[@CarlGonzo]

THE IMPERATOR Don’t do it.. your old tent will collect dust, your sleeping pad will never see the light of day again. You’ll never sell your old stuff cause you’ll convince yourself you’ll use it again one day but you wont. You’ll run off with your hammock like its a mistress and have the best sleep of your night. I don’t even much care for my bed anymore. I miss my old simple camping days when nights in the woods were supposed to be uncomfortable and home was sanctuary. Hammocks are like some new dimension, nothing makes sense anymore.

[@calvinmientke3539]

Step #1 to hammock camping! Locate 2 sturdy trees about 4 farmer paces apart in your yard. My yard has NO trees, the neighbor's lot has trees too far apart!!!! It makes it difficult to practice set up. I'm a gunna get out a post hole digger and "plant" my own trees, darn it!

[@Make_America_Trump_Again]

Carl Gonzo u forgot to mention how you will decide that sleeping in a hammock by yourself is better than sleeping with a girlfriend or wife every night, so u decide to stay single forever!

[@shugemery]

Whoooooo Buddy))))

[@kevinnicholas219]

Why wait until summer? No better time than the present.

[@erickillg811]

I would just like to say I think you shug for everything you do for the Hammock camping world . I know I’ve said this before but you are the reason I am now in a hammock it’ll be three years this April and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Well I got called a few times but I figured it out. Pretty much every time I watch one of your videos I learned something new. There is a gentleman by the name of Mike Williams, he’s a member of Hammock forms he started making dog hammocks or gear hammock . He makes a great product. Your daughters dog is adorable. Wish you the best I was looking forward to your next video.

[@shugemery]

Thank you Erick.

[@johniac7078]

The question is if you have a bag for Bean, a bean bag if you will........thank you, I'm here all day.

[@shugemery]

Applause!

[@RatdogDRB]

That orange side-saddle... would make for a nice "Bean Bag" (as a new camping buddy).

Hey Shug! I’ve been a fan since last year when I started hammock camping for the first time. I’m still learning and your videos have been a great help. You’re such a cool guy and I love all the clown skills you show. I’m building up to attempt my first winter snow camping this year in my hammock. Thanks again for the videos!

[@shugemery]

Make sure you have good warm clothes and boots for when you are not in that hammock.

[@pauledwards5540]

Thanks for the inspiration. I made my own pouches today.

[@shugemery]

Good to hear that.

[@Dillion203]

I love my warbonnet ElDorado. It doesn’t have the shelf like the blackbird but the stuff sack clips to the ridgeline and it’s plenty big for me.

[@shugemery]

It is one of my favorite hammocks. I just add my mesh ridgeline organizer.

[@letthesmokerise3489]

Clark Outdoor hammocks have included integrated storage with under hammock pockets for a long time. As of a few years ago the user can now access those pockets from inside the hammock vs reaching out and under hammock.

[@shugemery]

True. I've never tried Clark though. My buddy Hickery likes his. But those bottom Clark pockets seem more for clothing as insulation.

[@crunchfootjim4936]

I sling a Eno Single Nest underneath my hammock for my 24# dog. Once he gets in he will stay until I start stirring in the morning. Bean is a sweetie. ;^)

[@shugemery]

Bet he likes that.

I make a quick release knot around a tree, like a highwaymans hitch, then i hang my backpack on it using a carbine hook that i added to the backpack. I hang it at about chest-ish level. When i'm ready to leave, i just put an arm in a strap, pull the knot, it comes lose and i put my other arm in and i'm ready to walk. No lifting, easy access and easy to untie.

[@shugemery]
