Great How To Shug... Thanks for sharring... Dennis

[@ManLand]

Of courese I already know about wind screens...but this video was absolutely a Joy to watch...BRAVO! ManLand121 does three flips and only makes "one" half a flip actually successful...lol.

[@philiptruitt]

Thank you Shug!

[@shugemery]

Y'elcome.

[@KimberlyGreen]

Today, class, we shall start on basic Camping Origami.

[@fredthorne9692]

I'll tell ya right now, the first thing when you got the new MAD magazine was go to the back page, and make the two folds in the picture with the satirical commentary. After that, I went straight to Spy vs Spy. There is something hypnotic about you demonstrating fabrication techniques for your DIY equipment. It's like Video Valium, and I mean that in a good way. Dang Mr. Shug, you're a one man Dopamine agonist. Thanks for the mellow.

[@donkEEpunch85]

I'd forgotten all about that! Haha! That's exactly the same order I went as well. Thanks for reminding me!

[@shugemery]

I always liked Jack Davis and Mort Druckers art the best.

[@fredthorne9692]

@@shugemery They were great. I liked Jaffee too.

[@calvinmientke3539]

@@fredthorne9692 Hi, Fred. I had a garage sale MAD. The cover was Alfred standing in New York with the Twinn Towers in the background with an airplane about to hit them. ...?...

[@Lot_2023]

I've got the one that has Anthony Perkins in the comments section. He had mailed them; expressing his feelings on their spoof of Psycho. He included a picture of himself, stabbing the end of a kitchen knife through Alfred's head on the magazine.

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

I made my wind screens from aluminum foil starting with my old Bluet S200 back in 1970. Recently I’ve made wind screens for my Fancy Feast stove cook kits from a Fosters beer can.

[@yobentley7274]

I saved a couple of alum vacuum seals from the top of the big plastic coffee cans to use as ground barriers. Work nice. Pretty thick and a good size.

[@ola_bandola]

When Shug of the third person takes the time to weigh his windscreens in metric and imperial 😍👍

@Finnegan Edwin Happy to help =)

[@renhosti]

I made one out of an aluminum tray from the dollar store. Plenty left for another one, and it is heavier duty than plain aluminum foil.

[@9spiderlegs]

My windscreen is made from the bottom of one of those disposable casserole pans. It has a weight/ thickness that seems similar to the one Shug uses normally. I didn't punch holes though, maybe i should... Edit: I typed this comment during the video before seeing he suggested this method... 10/10 do recommend!

[@RatdogDRB]

Nice... could also get some of that foil adhesive tape for ducting, and tape your folds down tight... giving just that much more structure to the project. A feller should have a roll of that on hand anyhow... for when he's making cozies from Reflectix. Good stuff, Kemosabe!!

[@shugemery]

I do but it is really not needed. Also I started using Gorilla Tape on my cozies as it seems to hold up better than the foil tape over time.

[@RatdogDRB]

@@shugemery What did we do without Gorilla Tape? Well... I guess we were perfectly happy with Cotton Duck canvas, Coleman Stoves, Cast Iron (Oh, I still love my CI), and all the rest of the old gear. The new stuff is just so nice.

[@beamer6136]

I used the foil pans you get in the baking aisle in your grocery store... Makes a really good wind screen

[@calvinmientke3539]

I choose products by "How can I use this package? ". I get a "free" pie with my new aluminum pot cover.

[@RogerBays]

Hi Shug. I find joining three tall beer cans works well. A double fold gives a permanent joint. And the nice thing is an alcohol windshield for an alcohol stove. 😉😉

[@shugemery]

Righto!

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Same here.

When I have something to put outI will for sure.

[@leapyear9460]

Thanks for this! You got me thinking about my next trip, I’m going to try making one from the dollar store cooking tins. Will report back here👍🏻

[@bonnevillebagger9147]

Leap Year I tried it, and it burnt up. The $10 titanium toaks is worth it.

[@TheDon8876]

While watching, I was excited to comment “You could also use a roasting pan!” But you hit it at the end. You covered it all, Shug! I like the pan because like you said, if it gets a little messed up. You can roll it back out and it puts the curl right back in.

[@shugemery]

Righto!

[@johniac7078]

Is there a Maple King version? Maybe a nice embossed maple leaf....?

[@shugemery]

There could be. That would be nice.

[@stephaniegrace8623]

Hurray,! Shug is keeping us company

[@_Roasted_Marshmallow]

Thanks Shug! I appreciate ya! Whooo buddy

[@kenm4678]

I collect MSR stoves so I have a bunch of windscreens. Paperclips work great to close them. In the field I smooth out windscreens on a smooth barked sapling like a birch. Too many campers ignore the screens, but they help so much! Great tips!

[@shugemery]

Yessir.

[@OldNavajoTricks]

MacGyver comment 👍I carry a paperclip on my baccy pouch becauae they're bloody handy things :-)

[@Parrott65]

I found your channel through a couple of recommendations about two weeks ago. You have sold me on hammock camping. Already purchased a Ridgerunner and a Thunderfly. Time to throw my tent in the closet. It may add 1 1/2 lbs to my lightweight backpack setup, I think it's worth it to get a good nights rest.

[@calvinmientke3539]

Just don't camp in Nebraska! I'm so poor, my yard has no trees. WAaaa!

[@leftycut1]

I had always loved having a tent, but never really got a good nights sleep. After one night in a hammock, I haven't been a tent since. You now have the hammock (bug). There are so many options that will allow you to get your weight down as well.

[@gearhead2222]

Thanks for another great video shug, I always look forward to your tips and trick, I'm a O/O truck driver so I'm always testing gear and tips for when I go home to go backpacking, look forward to the next video and stay safe with everything going on over your way

[@EatCarbs]

I have to be honest.. more than a few times I forgot to bring a wind screen and ended up really needing one. lol Foolish of me. A roasting pan is a slick idea since you could get one at the dollar stone for cheap. Thanks for the video

[@shugemery]

Y'elcome.

[@KaylynnStrain]

I made one out of the lid of a large commercial zie foil pan and some aluminum foil tape, have used it with my pocket gas stove, works pretty well

[@shugemery]

Righto.

[@lilcwa]

Thanks for another superb camping how-to video. In the past, I have made quite a few windscreens for Fancee Feest-style alcohol stoves by repurposing inexpensive 4” diameter metal duct coupler, about $4 from Lowe’s or a similar home store. I just drill out the rivets that hold it together at the seam and then Dremel down any sharp/rough edges or cover them with metal foil tape (the lazy man’s option!). They’re extremely durable, but one weighs under 35 grams (1.24 oz) and fits with room to spare in an IMUSA 12cm cup (or it can slide between a GSI-style nesting cup and the bottom of one of the popular Stanley Adventure Cooksets). Best regards!

[@shugemery]

Whooooo Buddy))))

[@allanpeterson2364]

use a tuna can lid, cut it with a siding cutting can opener and it's a lot stiffer and will last pretty much forever. They also make good emergency tealight or votive candle holders for your BLACKOUT kit. And if your lucky enough to find the right size cans the cut off lids can make good DIY cup and pots lids ;-)

[@shugemery]

Righto~~

[@the.mr.beacher]

Sector 7 is unsecured!!!

[@bobmillerick300]

Was wondering if you were going to finally get around to some ukie. Summer's here.....wooo buddy

[@shugemery]

Just flew the first time all year this past Saturday. Did not film much. But I will.

[@lightbuilder2673]

Reynolds makes a "Pitmaster's Choice" foil that I used. It's extra sturdy and was perfect for this project.

[@shugemery]

Good stuff....Sometimes my store has heavy duty and sometime not.

[@Gator-357]

I make mine out of 8x3 1/2" pieces of 22 gauge sheet metal with interlocking tabs so it's adjustable to use with all of my stoves. I can add or remove pannels as needed and they all stack up and go into a pouch I mad from some waxed canvas I had laying around.

[@shugemery]

Good stuff. Thankee.....

[@timothyholtzclaw5575]

Great instructional video. Thanks for the info Shug!

[@shugemery]

Gotta have 'em!

[@friarrodneyburnap4336]

What do you think about Cardon Felt wind screens...Shug.? P.S. Have you ever done Freezer Bag cooking, making up your own meals from grocery store dehydrated Foods Ramen noodles, just add water mashed potato flakes, or minute rice. . .then people add chicken or tuna fish in the foil packets... and some time chicken or beef jerky ...and a host of vegetables, dehydrated can now be found right in the grocery stores...maybe a instant gravy pack mixed in just Add boiling water Ziploc the freezer bag 10 minutes you have a meal personally I love freezer bag cooking two or three dollars for a meal then you subsidized it with some fresh items...

[@shugemery]

I did not care for the carbon wind screens. Funny but just did not like the look. No freezer bag as I never enjoyed eating out of a bag. My dear ol' Mom would have found it uncouth....haaaa. Prefer to eat out of my pot. Sturdy. Easier to spoon out in my opinion. I eat the same stuff that would be in a freezer bag but just out of a pot.

[@indycharlie]

Nice one . Would have guessed the titanium would be lighter , and be wrong . Stay safe up there . .. gubs

[@shugemery]

It was a bit longer though.

[@TheSemtexCow]

Wow it’s been three months since my last dose of Shug. No wonder I’ve been feeling under the weather. Whooooobuddy, that looks like it’ll make a purrrrrty boil. Time for a catch up Shug binge watching evening.

greeting from Hickory NC! luv your videos shug. they have made me a better hammock camper.

[@shugemery]

[@robsmart1221]

Shug, wanted to Email but where? Anyway, do you have a hammock recommendation for a permanent switch from a bed (one that does not break the bank)? Also, do you find the Dutchware Dbl layer to be effective, over just having under quilt, i was thunking that i could use alternative in that DBL pocket?

[@shugemery]

I don't sleep full time so hard to say. Don't think a double layer will add a ton of warmth. But may work. Depends on your personal sleeping temps I reckon.

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

Thanks Shug I just made my first Fancy Feast stove.

[@shugemery]

Right👍🏻

[@armedbear529]

I followed your instructions, and then laid down a layer of HVAC tape on the fold side to make it a little more durable. I’m usually more concerned with breaking gear than weight, but that’s me,

[@shugemery]

I use Gorilla tape now. Last longer.

[@bonefishboards]

I like my $7 titanium windscreen from Amazon or Alibaba or somewhere. Can beat the snot out of it, it's light and rolls up into nothing.

[@shugemery]

Whooooo Buddy))))

[@dianabenobo]

once again Zone 7 is on the radar! ... and that aluminum foil will sharpen those old scissors!

[@stefanmajonez6571]

What do you think about making some stakes out of some thin 1/16" wire and staking the windscreen through those holes? I reckon three should be more than enough

[@shugemery]

You certainly could.

OK, a bit off topic.... what type of hat is that? Thanks.

[@shugemery]

Stetson bucket hat.

[@kmonnier]

Burnishing with a socket can work too. You wrangle a right handed scissors pretty well 🤠

[@sonipitts]

Using a tool for burnishing those folds and edges is a key tip for those like me who are disallowed from using the heavy-duty tin foil in the house unsupervised, since evidently I can't even look at a roll without slicing the crap out of myself, lol.

[@shugemery]

Back them off the flame a bit.

[@fastcircuit]

@@shugemery Yeah, I've been putting mine in the top of my Foxlite 🦊 ditty bag, I keep all sorts of loose stuff in there. It's just a bit out the way to get too, but that's ok. Might give the mesh pocket a try, but I sort of feel like I may loose it out of there in my Granite Gear Crown X

[@fastcircuit]

@@shugemery Have you ever messed with any of those Waymark packs? Sort of thinking about having a frameless pack for single overnights. But that also means waiting even longer my Amok, or any other new hammocks, I do prefer collecting new hammocks.......

Glad to see you are able to keep going. I just had my kidney yanked out, so I'm out till at least September. Guess I will be hammocking vicariously through you this season. All the best to you and yours

[@cakeshoe]

Thanks, Shug. So SO many American KZbinrs only deal in ounces, yards and other somewhat arbitrary measurements.

[@shugemery]

We usually just do the ones we go by here but I have learned to add grams as well to try and relate to all Nations. Do you deal with feet or centimeters?

[@cakeshoe]

I hope I didn’t sound tetchy or that my comment seemed trite. I grew up in the 70’s in the UK, so I was accustomed to both metric and imperial - we learned metric in school but bought pounds, ounces and pints of food in the shops. But 20 years of travelling the world has narrowed me down to meters, millimeters and litres. I just wanted to say thank you for making the effort to give both measurements; it’s only the USA, Liberia and Myanmar that still use imperial (about 5% of the world’s population). Mind you, I see some European KZbinrs also giving the imperial measurements for our American cousins. So, thanks to ALL who make the effort, and go that extra mile/kilometer/furlong/rod to give help us all understand.

BUT then i turn on one of shugs videos and see the simple happy joyful life he has not being filthy rich and just out and about in his hammocks and goofing around with his amazing circus tricks. hes my huge reminder that YES, you need money to have some sort of living ofcourse, BUT you dont need to be rich to have a HAPPY living. just keep things simple and not materialistic. thank you shug 🙏🙌

You still want a little bit of air passing through for the fire
