Ahh memorable moments! When you showed us the wolf area I recognized it immediately from the original video. Here at 70 years old it’s a triumph to remember breakfast let alone part of a video 12 years old. Anyhoo thanks for letting us trek along in our minds.

[@andyrobinson8386]

Thanks for taking this old trekker along for the ride. Your videos not only help tide me over until the next walk in the woods, they inspire me to hit the stop button on the everyday march of making a living and dealing with the day to day, and just set aside the time and get a trip plan going. You are a blessing Shug.

I am better than hitting that stop button in the woods than in real life. Thankee.

I went on this hike thinking it was time for a video. Sorta forced. But it became a very joyful trip. Thankee!

EARLY! Holy crap 25 pushies with a 40 lb pack! Love everything about this vid.. Two of my brothers and my sister in law are doing Sylvania Wilderness (mini boundary waters in the UP) on Oct 14th. We are all Shug fans for some years now. We do one every fall when the leaves change, as started by our father..I’ve been swinging in a hammock since 1998 ( Hennesy).. Your rock juggling, mushroom shooting, tree limb balancing, goofy talking ways are exactly what we love.. Could not believe the moose you caught grazing in the lake some weeks ago.. We did hammock down to 6 degrees a couple years ago.. You are definitely THE below zero hero by far.. Love your DIY, love your music (as run little cotton tail is still stuck in my head), love your hobbies, love you brother.. Thank you..

[@FatDaddyGaming]

I thought I heard a little squeaker at pushie #18.... nevertheless, I am also impressed!

[@shugemery]

Came to me to do that as I was walking along. Was only going to do 20 but camera inspired me for 25. Thankee for the good and kind thoughts and words. That "run little cottontail run" got me years ago. Here is the song. It is a Marshall Tucker song called “Fly Eagle Fly” written by Toy Caldwell. I always loved so decided to learn it. Grabbed the guitar and did a rough. This is the song I want played at my funeral when that day comes.But the Marshall Tucker version...not my version......soundcloud.com/seanemery2/fly-eagle-fly-rough-cut?in=seanemery2/sets/seans-plays-songs&si=ee16fda640024d0b8a13080aa38a93f0&

I really enjoyed seeing that little "table" that you cook on. So many bushcafters cook in the dirt, step over their pots and pans, or disturb the dust that settles in their food. Communal camping areas are basically filthy. Nothing like consuming fecal-infused dirt in one's coffee or food.

Impressive. I hate to admit it but these days i really feel it when I finally get home. And that stiff first 10 steps when I stop to get gas right after a hike~~ 86 Bronco rules supreme.

SHUG! 🙋‍♂ I've been a fan of yours for 12 plus years. Your rendition of "Fly Eagle Fly" is fantastic, and it definitely suites you. I pray you will have many, many more years of hiking adventures to share with us before Fly Eagle Fly is played for you as you would like it to be.

According to Men's Health Magazine you did the average push ups for males in the USA between ages 15-29. With 25 additional pounds on your back. That's awesome. Salutes to you. ✌️

From Cross River to Alfred's Pond is one of my favorite sections, throw in Hillbilly pot, Texas State Fair Chili, and all the old favorites and I had to go get my SHT book and start planning next year's hike. We canoed the Lake One area with the family this year but next year we want to do a longer section of the SHT. Love your comment on perhaps thru hiking the SHT. Go for it! Bring along some Coffee Crisps and Beef Stroganoffs. Thanks for the smells and tastes of Northern Minnesota in your video.

[@shugemery]

It is a fairly forgiving section. Maintained and not too hilly. Good ramble. It was a happy hike. Hope you do your extended trip Pappy.

Great video as always! I discovered Kastany chocolate when I spent a semester studying abroad in Prague about 10 years ago. I must have eaten at least one of those a day. Looks like the packaging has changed a bit, hopefully the taste has not. Good memories.

Amazing taste. Just love chocolate and delights from far away. Bet you enjoyed studying there?
