Shug you are an awesome teacher, I’m sure there are thousands of hammock campers whose set up was derived from your knowledge. Mine sure was. I’ve boiled water in my kitchen testing my times with store bought and homemade alcohol stoves. While saying “that’s a mighty fine boil right there” Thank you for being a great person and teacher

We experience what you do, we interact with the environment the way that you do, taking it all in. It's all about the experience, and you always have a fun, positive, rewarding one each and every time. It makes us all appreciate what you're doing to share that with your audience. And we appreciate you. Keep doing what you're doing, and welcome back. 🙌
