Spring Saunter on Superior Hiking Trail

[@RickMunday]

❤ At the end of a crappy day, It's great to turn on the TV and load up KZbin and find a new video from Shug! Thank you, Sir.

[@shugemery]

Appreciate that Rick. Like a day or two of answering folks. It is like a quiet typing soiree.....

[@RickMunday]

@@shugemery and just as I'm reading your reply, I was wondering if I had the Big easy gumbo in the container and then within about 10 seconds of me thinking about it, you say it in the video! I'm thinking I might sneak out to the woods tomorrow for a couple hours.

[@alblazashirley8965]

Can't wait to see these videos from you. You make things seam so light and no troubles

[@shugemery]

Off tomorrow. Very excited! It was a light and trouble free trip.

[@hayden3281]

I haven't hammock camped in years. When I got started in it though, your videos were what kind of showed me the way to having a comfy and warm night, even up here in Alberta. Coming back to the channel and rewatching videos, checking out the new ones, it feels like catching up with an old friend. Thanks Shug

[@shugemery]

Whooooo Buddy))0 I've not had the urge to camp of late since my 7 day solo canoe trip a month ago. Enjoying home and nesting. Summer backpacking is my least favorite but I don miss some 10 hour slumber in my hammock. Glad to see you back.

[@jdsmith8135]

“It’s good for your mental health…” Amen brother. Hike on, Shug.

[@shugemery]

It truly is. Sanity for the Win~~~

[@stever417]

Shug, you are a breath of clean air in the smoke filled country!!!

[@shugemery]

Haaa. Nice phrasing! We are pretty clear here today.

[@Bimmerrx7]

Napping, chocolate, mosquito advice. All we needed was some Carl. Thank you Shug!

[@shugemery]

Karl was done gone fixing a lawnmower.....

[@devinreed2003]

I forgot how much i liked you. I like your style . Keep it going please. ❤ one of a-kind Mr. Shug

[@shugemery]

Thankee for the kind words.

[@madmarshman]

Over the last couple of years I've loved hanging my hammock here in the UK, you have been an inspiration and a tutor to me. Good luck in everything you do.

[@torvador]

I'm in UK too and Shugs exactly why I got into hammock camping...

[@bencoombes2711]

I had hammock before but shug changed my game thank you sir thank you

Ahh...Sainsbury sausage from the hammock! And a cuppa~

[@rebeccasilveous8898]

You'll always be backpacking and camping out on the trails until you're dying day, SHUG. It's what we live for!

I think so but may just hobble a half mile in~~

[@cotrav92]

Long time viewer, first time commenter. Thanks for all the knowledge and fun you’ve shared over the years Shug! Awesome to see your daughter out there traveling and doing what she loves! I know you and your wife must be proud. Thanks for doing what you do buddy! Wooooooo buddyyyy!

[@shugemery]

Thankee for the good and fine words. I'm real proud of her. So is Meg. She is banking some moola

[@crunchfootjim4936]

I was up on the Gunflint Trail about a week after ice-out and it was wonderful weather although a bit windy every afternoon but no mosquitoes or black flies. We stayed at Clearwater Lodge and did a little fishing and a lot of sightseeing. My son downloaded the Merlin app onto my phone and every morning I sat out and recorded 5 minutes of bird songs. We had already experienced spring and this year by traveling north we were able to experience spring again.....Woo,Buddy!

[@shugemery]

Been quite birdie around here. A good thing!!!

[@williammiddleton6964]

I’ve been watching since I was 10 and I’m 21 now. I’ve gone on several long treks throughout those years and your videos have always been educational and entertaining. Thank you!

[@shugemery]

I'll say adequate!...thankee.

[@Saltfly]

Man these videos make me wanna get out there, cook some grub, and lounge in the hammock. We use those thermacells every trip down here in south Florida. Tried every thing over the years. They’re the only thing that works when the skits are hangry. Combined we have 6or7 going around camp and it clears em. I’m gonna pack my gear and the dog and get out there. Thanks Shug for the kick in the tail.

[@shugemery]

They do work well and not too heavy to pack. Yessir...you and the hound get on out there~~

[@techguy9023]

Good to see Shug in his natural habitat

[@shugemery]

Good to be in it. The couch will soon be my natural habitat....haaaa

[@jimmellon4298]

Really enjoyed your commentary on this one, Shug. Glad you waited until you felt motivated again. Thanks for the entertainment. Whoo Buddy from KC!

[@shugemery]

Whoooo Buddy....that was a pretty good Spring jaunt.

[@outdoorsfan4179]

Shug, another fantastic video. The family nostalgia and reflections were great. All my best to you, your wife and daughter. Amazing talent in your entire family. This video is the best. I have experienced the black flies and mosquitos in Minnesota while hiking, and know exactly what you went through on this trip. Glad the Thermacell worked for you. Stay safe, and keep on having fun. Good luck on your upcoming canoe trip.

[@shugemery]

My daughter arrived in Montreal today training for a show. Makes me proud...and she need not borrow money from us!!!! Canoe trip was so good. Thermacell ruled the day.

[@billb3374]

I was cutting firewood now I'm laying in my hammock watching Shug. Whoo buddy!

[@shugemery]

the hammock is the reward!

[@blakehall6444]

Thanks as always for sharing your adventures. All secure sir. Cheers

[@shugemery]

Righto...thankee for viewing.

[@outdooradventureswithshane3319]

Definitely needed that quick fix of the SHT!!!!! I want to get up there soon but now I am DYING to get back up there. Wanting to do the section from 270 Overlook to Grand Marais so this video gave me a brief overview of what part of it will be like. Happy Trails Shug!!!!

[@shugemery]

That Northern section is nice and pretty rugged considering. You'll enjoy it.

[@SonofChurchill]

Shug looking happy 👍 Making friends with the bugs

[@shugemery]

You want the skeeter on your team...not against you~~

[@mikesoutside6559]

Noticing the little details is food for the soul i reckon Shug. I love to hammock in my spare time too but my work is year round gardening and through the warmer months nearly every lunch break is a quick hang, usually in beautiful surroundings just eating my lunch looking around me noticing the things most people walk by. I feel very fortunate for this and its great to see you too seeing the good stuff in your really enjoyable and entertaining videos. Ive got my daughter into hammocks now and almost every friend and relative has been told about how they change the perspective for the better 😄 many thanks man, your a good guy👍

[@shugemery]

I like the cut of your jib....hanging and taking some time to enjoy the good little things.

[@viewoftoledo]

Shug, every time you post a video it's the best part of my day. Thank you for all of your hard work!

[@shugemery]

Very kind of you to say that. Thankee.

[@darrendavidsonoutdoors]

Thanks for bringing us along. And as a Canadian I guess it's my duty to say "we're sorry" for all the smoke from the forest fires burning. I'm in Northeastern Ontario and we have quite a few burning around here but huge fires burning in Northwestern Quebec along with Nova Scotia. We've had an air quality warning out for over a week straight here but after the government cried wolf over covid getting everyone to stay inside, I still go outside and do stuff. We can't have fires but we can still camp here.... at the moment. Quebec has banned all camping I heard for the time being until the fires are under control.

[@lilricky2515]

It's ok, we have them right now down here in Florida. The US Forest Service hasn't been doing prescribed burns in about 4 years and they're paying for it now. I assume the Canadian equivalent is slacking too.

[@shugemery]

Wishing ya'll the best with the fires. Nature will do what nature will do. i'd go out too. Unless I had ailments.

[@darrendavidsonoutdoors]

@@shugemery yup, I went fishing today and for a boat ride and still planning backcountry canoe trips this summer. Like you said; nature will be nature. Just gotta work around it now and then.

[@lw1945three]

So lovely to see you out on the trail again, always been curious most of your followers seem male but as a prior own-owner on the Gunflint trail it is always a treat to see you enjoying the great outdoors in the boreal forest…keep posting as long as you can & I will watch…

[@shugemery]

Heading up to Tuscarora Lodge on Gunflint today for a night in bunkhouse then off in the canoe tomorrow. Thank you.

Truly and for sure. I admire those volunteers for sure. I just send checks~

[@melchurch3019]

Hey Shug, we just got back from a Boundary Waters canoe trip. Paddled and portaged from Bower-Trout put in to Brule Lake. Camped and fished that area and had a great time. Thermacell worked great, especially near the thunder box to avoid butt bites. Smallmouth liked gold spinners. Beautiful area and didn't see many people until Brule. Fun to see your wife and you from the circus days. Thanks.

[@shugemery]

The Thermocell served me well on my recent canoe trip For thew Win!!!

[@amrose250]

Wow Shug, you’ve got more mosquitoes than we’ve got down here in the south! Thanks for another great video.

[@shugemery]

We just have a passive-aggressive skeeter....haaaa

[@jacqueline7118]

Yup, the wildfires here in NS were terrible! Thankfully the rain we had in the last week helped greatly! Let's keep all appendages crossed that we have no more this season! A wonderful two night hang and your right, if bugs bug ya best stay at home. lol I can remember on one backpacking trip having ears like Dumbo the elephant from black fly bites. Thanks for sharing! :) :)

[@shugemery]

Glad you got rain. Wildfires are one of natures devilish acts. I would have liked to seen those Dumbo ears!!

[@PoasLodge]

Glad you enjoyed them... and really cool to see a little bit of the jungle out on the trail with ya! WooooooBuuuudy

[@shugemery]

Truly. Meg too! Our jungle is pretty tame compared to your jungle!

[@backpackingcapebreton]

The fires here in Nova Scotia have thankfully abated for now. Quebec and Alberta are most affected right now. Going to be a long wildfire season though. A bit concerning! Thanks for the fantastic trip, as always, Shug!!

[@tstillwell386m]

Just wanted to say that I had to snicker a little when you were talking about the mosquitoes. I'm in the middle of a bikepacking trip through Utah, Wyoming, and now Nebraska. I was in a very remote backcountry ranch a few days ago, having a very stressful day pushing my bike through thick sand. All the while, mosquitoes are attacking me from every angle. They seemed to enjoy the bug spray I was using, and I put my rain jacket on to help with my mid section. All of a sudden, I looked down, and they started attacking my hands, leaving blood spots on my gloves. I very much enjoy your videos and outdoors insight. Keep them coming!

[@shugemery]

Mosquitoes are a Gang. There needs to be intervention....haaaaa

I can't wait to see the next video!

The wispy clouds are Cirrus. My teacher said they look like horse’s tails. Never forgot that. I learned about ten years ago that cirrus clouds are broken off from a storm front. So if you see them you’re probably going to have a storm in a day or two. Love your videos!!!

Well last year I moved from Oregon to the UP of Michigan so I think it might be a reality here soon! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
