Ahhh...., yes, the Boreal bushcraft shirt! I have a good buddy that gifted one to me! I love it when I'msleeping in the hammock, and when you get out, your warm too! Good video, my friend!
Shug -- You've inspired me. I haven't had the time to get out and away, so I just put up my hammock in the back yard last night. Hi-jacked the kids swingset frame. Woke up a few times because of suburban noises, but got almost nine hours of sleep! That never happens. Only got down to the mid-30's here in the KC area last night. I just received a SnugPak UQ, so used that, a sleeping pad, and a sleeping bag. No CBS at all. I need to get a good overquilt though, as my sleeping bag wasn't quite enough. I woke up chilly. Not miserable, just chilled. All Secure in the Heartland Sector! Whoo Buddy!
Seriously, who could thumbs down this video?!?! Such a great adventure. Thank you Shug! I love my Ribz pack--one of the best pieces of gear I've purchased in a very long time. I can't wait to take it out on some overnights in the next few months.
I love my Ribs pack. Had it on the ground once along the trail and someone asked me if I had a dog with me... thought that's what I had my dog wearing. Now I call it my "Dog Pack". Love your videos Shug...keep em' coming!
After waking up at 4 am, driving a half hour getting set up, flipping Chris Cakes for a few hours, Cleaning up packing up and driving home. There is nothing better than finding a Shug video waiting for me on the UA-cams. Now after writing that out, I will have to ponder the life choices that lead me to Pancake Entertainment and watching a guy in Minnesota hiking in -5-degree weather.
It is a blast on most days. I am one of the main flippers, the 3 of us all flip. One flipper can handle about 200 people an hour. We encourage eating off the ground, good for the immune system and the bottom line. HA!
Hey Shug... always enjoy your videos. I too love to get away from all the "noise" of life and just listen to the "quiet"! That's a major reason for me packing at all. Also, I'm an astronomy teacher, and I love to get out to dark sky sites and enjoy looking at our awesome universe!! Keep 'em coming!!
Thanks Shug for taking us along. I always learn something new from your videos and you always make me laugh. You are right about getting away even if for just one night alone all worries seem to fade. Thanks again I look forward to the next one.
I am slowly working on being able to hike (working with some health issues). I will keep at it and can't wait until I get to trekking in the woods. Shug your videos are so positive,, and when one can't immediately trek into the woods(just yet), are super enjoyable to watch, all the scenery and fun.
We've been using the RIBZ packs for years, from Himalayan trips to Linville Gorge trips, and we love them. Glad to see you using them - a great American company also......
I was interested to see the pancakes. I was out Monday night, packed in a little uncooked bacon and enjoyed natures refrigerator keeping it fresh, but some flapjacks would have really warmed up the morning mood. Thanks, Shug! Glad you got to relax
Ribz packs are great for carrying extra easy to access gear like you said. I use my when I'll be fishing. Also nice to have some gear for a short hike away from camp. They pack down nicely too.
Love the shirt Shug! Also, to be so cheery in -5 degrees is refreshing in our world today and all of its cynicism. I really like your joy. I'm gonna get me some of that joy! Also, I'm planning a Quetico Park canoe trip and will be doing the Mah-glee-ah-dor-oh and paptarts from my hammock. Oh yes, I'm gonna get that joy! Thanks for your inspiration Shug.
The quintessential Shug video! One of my all time favorites. Makes me want to get out on the trail after watching it. I purchased a Boreal Wool shirt about three years ago and it's absolutely my favorite piece of gear for winter hiking. I've worn it in sleet and freezing rain and it keeps me warm and dry. You can wear it around a camp fire and not worry about a spark melting it or destroying it. An item you'll have for the rest of your life and probably pass along to other generations (as you stated).
Completely agree with the new camping policy in Minnesota. I live in walker and occasionally will go on a week stint on a whim and I can't do that any longer. I Have to register in advance and if you don't like a park you can't just move on anymore. Complete bs, in my opinion. I feel like they should have kept at least a couple first come first serve sights.
Thanks Shug! I'm a new hammock camper and your videos have been very helpful. My first winter overnighter in the hammock this year was a success, in large part to the info you provided. It got down to -8 fahrenheight and I'm itching to start tackling some colder temps! We're warming up quickly here in Alaska so we won't get a chance at that again for a while. We'll need to make do with combatting mosquitos for a while now! Keep the videos coming!
Awesome trip Shug! In cold weather, I always put my rain fly over head and low to keep that early morning cold from dropping down on me although I have never been out there in -5*. Thanks for bringing us along!
I hope you realize how inspirational you and your videos are. Every hiking video you post makes me want to call out of work sick and bust brush through the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
Thank you for braving the cold for my entertainment. I can't tell you how much I love your video's. The wife and I spend a lot of time in the lake superior north shore area (we live in Iowa) and I hope to see you on the trail some day and thank you in person for always informing and entertaining me. Keep hiking!
shug Id just like to say that you are not only a fountain of information but a galaxy of inspiration. Thank you for all efforts and shenanigans. Ive PM´d you a bunch of times :)
I have been using the Ribs pack for about 4 years now. No issues for me with them, I quite like them actually. I have a spare I am trying to find a home for, just need to find a worthy hiker to gift it to. Be well Shug, as always, good report from sector seven.
Nice trip Shug. Thanks for the squeaky snow walk. Not much snow here in West Virginy, but I did do a trip last month. Night temps a balmy 42 degrees, in the mountains, in February. I am not complaining; twas a great night.
Great job Shug. I'm not a cold weather person yet and I moved up here at the end of winter so we are out of the freezing temps now. But I have all spring and summer to get ready and I'm gonna try some of this snow camping next season. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. All secure in sector 4.
We always kept a Nalgene in our sleeping bag in scouts. I also kept one made up with 2 packets of cocoa. Moved it to the cold spots while sleeping and had some Yoo-hoo in the morning. I know the smellables in the sleeping bag weren't bear or mini bear safe but when you are in the woods with 25-50 kids plus 5-10 adults there is enough noise between kids stomping and old man snores to scare anything off.
Olympic Outdoors Dad here in the NC piedmont the things we have to worry about are mostly raccoons and rodents. There are some areas with larger animals creating a threat. Usually the problems we had were mice and raccoons clawing thru a pack that someone left some m&ms in a pocket.
Chris Rasmussen That's interesting. At some places here on the west coast I'll hang my whole pack. We do have black bear to think about but there pretty shy.
SW Washington here, I have left my food bag hanging from one end of my hammock overnight in an area with black bear scat fresh on the trail in, never bothered. Many would say that it's irresponsible, and I can't really argue. But I was so close to civilization, within a couple miles of houses, that I figured the bears wouldn't be all that tempted. Now some scraps left out in the eating area were taken, but since I never heard anything and nothing was particularly disturbed, I assume it was rodents. And no, I don't think I'm related to Chris... At least not that I'm aware of
Love the solitude and peace of the piney woods myself Shug, you put it so well. Yup, kozy kotes always around my water bottle above the 50th parallel up here too. Great vid from Sector 7!
I put on my LRB shirt and sat on my couch and watched your video again Shug. I was warm lol. Love your videos and thanks for your reviews on your ULA packs I ordered the catalyst in woodland camo i'm sure I will be happy. Keep up the good work you never dissapoint.
Big life liver here on the dark side of the river: yep, good one. Good water tactics too. Many lessons to learn from the dark side of the river. Great show.
got to love it I'm driving out next week the kids are out of school we're working on the cabin we should finish if that's possible thanks again for taking your time to share your trip really enjoyed watching you take care see you next time
12:50 says it all. Everyone who longs for outdoor opportunities or is hesitant to take advantage of it can take this to heart. You and Bob Ross have something in common, I believe. The outdoors inspired his whole career.
well it's official. next year i will be hiking the A.T. i have watched many videos on hiking and packing. I find your videos to be by far the most informative. thanks Shug.
Shug, loved the video. Normally do a annual solo winter hike, last year was up on the SHT. Missed this year (too busy). Enjoyed watching the video--closest thing to being there-at least this winter. This summer my son and I did a 4 day hike from Section 13 to the Caribou River Wayside. Love that section of the trail.
Those Ribz packs rule!! Bought one about a year ago, gone through a fishing season, hiking season, and hunting season with them....remarkable item. Also, mount your camera to a small Gorilla Grip tripod....slide 2 legs down behine the closed zipper.....great place to record video from.
OMG just nearly achieved my first PURTY BOIL!!! testing my "new stove". Was just starting to roll when the fuel ran out. I used a metric measure, now that I've converted it to Old Money, I'm quite impressed that I got near boil with 2/3 of an oz. Next I makes a wind screen and a twig-fed gasifier. "Shug" is the werd. Cheers!
Ahhh hell, I gotta get a full boil. Going to up the fuel load, make a windscreen and start over with cool water. Cool cool water (water). Learning rope tricks too. Shug is a baaad influence.
Thanks shug for all your great vids. Keep doin what you do! Greetings from Pennsylvania. Still rocking a tarptent, but may start hanging soon. It's funny how a new piece of gear like a hammock or a new ribs pack can invigorate your spirit for the outdoors.
Good show today, Shug. You had those youngsters rolling with the "hidden straw hat" bit, and they shrieked every time you cycled up to the tapeline! Thanks for coming up to Andover, and thanks for taking time to chat with us fans!
shugemery Deleted it. 33 minutes of backlit glare and only about 15 minutes of actual peformance - most which was out of view because of the terrible angle at which I set up. Should've known my phone would've run out of storage....should've used my actual camera. Oh well, had my hands full the whole time or would've been better prepared and more vigilant...
Loved spending this time with you, although you were in freezing temps and I...was not. Thanks for taking us along Shug. Really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and can listen to you for hours upon hours.
I do like the idea of the ribz packs but I am not sure if I would need them, I would probably fill them with random unnecessary items..? I like using the uco as well, it gives off a nice light, one perfect for when your outdoors and realigning yourself, I do also love the luminoodle that I have when you need to see!Frozen pancakes and poptarts....oh dear! definitely looks like a cold one!That wool shirt looks like something else!!!glad that the pancakes finally defrosted, and worked out well!!!!
I have carried a fully loaded glock 20 in a ribz pack and it handles the weight very nicely didn't even notice it. I got it for canoeing in the bwca and canada, haven't used it much for normal hiking. The straps can get a bit tangled if you aren't careful though when putting it on and off lol.
Hey Shug! Long time fan here from Canada! Thanks for all the great videos they tide me over until camping season! Someday I'll get hardcore like you and winter camp! Cheers!
So beautiful and quiet cold, sorry you got chilled, love that cold snow crunch. I love that wool shirt- reminds me of my dad's army blanket, wish i could afford it ah well. EAGLES
I always get a chuckle, from my wife, in the other room, when she hears you talkin' poop! LOL She said "Did he say he's dropping his drawers in -5 degrees? Is he crazy"? I said, yep.
Hey shug. Those ribz packs are badass. I have been using them for years. They change their designs every couple years. I have 3 different versions. You cannot put too much in them. It gets too bulky. There is no padding on the body side. It needs padding.
Ahhh...., yes, the Boreal bushcraft shirt! I have a good buddy that gifted one to me! I love it when I'msleeping in the hammock, and when you get out, your warm too!
Good video, my friend!
Hey HB.....dang good gift!
-5 degrees, going solo, jumping jacks at 5am, Shug your a Beast !. Keep going brother love your stuff.
Haaa...just desperate to go camping.
I got myself the "Ribz" back a year or more ago, great for the snacks, water, and the camera in warmer weather. I love them.
Got mine for camera and stuff.
Thanks Shug for taking us along! Never underestimate the restorative qualities of a solo overnighter and a pancake breakfast!
Pancakes made the trip.
Shug -- You've inspired me. I haven't had the time to get out and away, so I just put up my hammock in the back yard last night. Hi-jacked the kids swingset frame. Woke up a few times because of suburban noises, but got almost nine hours of sleep! That never happens.

Stay at it and carry forth....
Seriously, who could thumbs down this video?!?! Such a great adventure. Thank you Shug!
I love my Ribz pack--one of the best pieces of gear I've purchased in a very long time. I can't wait to take it out on some overnights in the next few months.
I thumbed myself down. Yes to the ribz so far.
I love my Ribs pack. Had it on the ground once along the trail and someone asked me if I had a dog with me... thought that's what I had my dog wearing. Now I call it my "Dog Pack". Love your videos Shug...keep em' coming!
I can see that.
With 13k views and over 600 comments it would appear there are a lot of us waiting on a Shug video..Them cakes and bacon got my mouth watering Shug..
Never thought of it that way. Oh, they were tasty! Thankee feller.
After waking up at 4 am, driving a half hour getting set up, flipping Chris Cakes for a few hours, Cleaning up packing up and driving home. There is nothing better than finding a Shug video waiting for me on the UA-cams. Now after writing that out, I will have to ponder the life choices that lead me to Pancake Entertainment and watching a guy in Minnesota hiking in -5-degree weather.
What is a Chris cake?
Good gig. I like mine off the floor! Are you the main flipper?
It is a blast on most days. I am one of the main flippers, the 3 of us all flip. One flipper can handle about 200 people an hour. We encourage eating off the ground, good for the immune system and the bottom line. HA!

Quite a star filled sky that night!
This trip was seriously cold. It is amazing that you stay warm. Impressive every time.
Hey Jeep. It was frosty and well needed.
Thanks Shug for taking us along. I always learn something new from your videos and you always make me laugh. You are right about getting away even if for just one night alone all worries seem to fade. Thanks again I look forward to the next one.
Y'elcome....
I am slowly working on being able to hike (working with some health issues). I will keep at it and can't wait until I get to trekking in the woods. Shug your videos are so positive,, and when one can't immediately trek into the woods(just yet), are super enjoyable to watch, all the scenery and fun.
Whooooooo Betty)))) Hope you get on the up and up.
We've been using the RIBZ packs for years, from Himalayan trips to Linville Gorge trips, and we love them. Glad to see you using them - a great American company also......
Yessir.....I see myself using it more.
I was interested to see the pancakes. I was out Monday night, packed in a little uncooked bacon and enjoyed natures refrigerator keeping it fresh, but some flapjacks would have really warmed up the morning mood. Thanks, Shug! Glad you got to relax
Oh so good.....
Ribz packs are great for carrying extra easy to access gear like you said. I use my when I'll be fishing. Also nice to have some gear for a short hike away from camp. They pack down nicely too.
Living Survival Great idea Ben! (fishing w ribs pack)
Have to say, your videos, and I have been watching for years, have had such an influence on my hiking and hammocking. Really appreciate it. .
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Love the shirt Shug! Also, to be so cheery in -5 degrees is refreshing in our world today and all of its cynicism. I really like your joy. I'm gonna get me some of that joy!

Yessir...Whooooo Buddy))))
Your video of the hike in triggered some bad memories of flying my Rebel snow speeder over the barren Hoth landscape against the Empire.
Glide on.....

You can reserve same day....just a new system and seems a hassle but will seem normal in time I reckon.
Thanks Shug! I'm a new hammock camper and your videos have been very helpful. My first winter overnighter in the hammock this year was a success, in large part to the info you provided.

Thanks for taking us along, Shug. Purty boils. Good times. WB!
Yes, some right good boils out there.
Awesome trip Shug! In cold weather, I always put my rain fly over head and low to keep that early morning cold from dropping down on me although I have never been out there in -5*. Thanks for bringing us along!
I should have but the sky was intense.
Thanks for taking us on another great Shug outing! It always a lot of fun.
Y'elcome.
I love these back country videos. Thanks for sharing.
Y'elcome.
I hope you realize how inspirational you and your videos are. Every hiking video you post makes me want to call out of work sick and bust brush through the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
You should. Just tell work I told you too!
Thank you for braving the cold for my entertainment. I can't tell you how much I love your video's. The wife and I spend a lot of time in the lake superior north shore area (we live in Iowa) and I hope to see you on the trail some day and thank you in person for always informing and entertaining me.

Listen for the singing.....
shug Id just like to say that you are not only a fountain of information but a galaxy of inspiration. Thank you for all efforts and shenanigans.
Ive PM´d you a bunch of times :)
I have been using the Ribs pack for about 4 years now. No issues for me with them, I quite like them actually. I have a spare I am trying to find a home for, just need to find a worthy hiker to gift it to. Be well Shug, as always, good report from sector seven.
I to am liking so far. Will for sure come in handy from time to time at the right time.
Let me know if the maple king would use one, I have a black one sitting here I would be happy to donate to the hickory brothers 😁
I let Hickery know.......thank you.
He actually has one. Thanks all the same.
If you're still looking to get rid of the ribz pack you and I could probably work something out. :)
Nice trip Shug. Thanks for the squeaky snow walk. Not much snow here in West Virginy, but I did do a trip last month. Night temps a balmy 42 degrees, in the mountains, in February. I am not complaining; twas a great night.
Sounds right good. Cold enough.
I love that squik of semi defrosting snow, it sounds like the beginning of spring.
C'mon Spring. Crave some green grass.
We already have green grass but also everywhere is a swamp from over a years worth of rain just running into the sound
cold frostpocket at the bottom of an incline :D
Glad you got out and had some traquility.
thanks for taking us along - much appreciated.
Yes...I knew it would be a cold spot but it was very nice to be out there. More than likely last snow jaunt this year.
Great video Shug I would love to camp in the snow ❄️. It looks so peaceful.👍
It sure is.
Great job Shug. I'm not a cold weather person yet and I moved up here at the end of winter so we are out of the freezing temps now. But I have all spring and summer to get ready and I'm gonna try some of this snow camping next season. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. All secure in sector 4.
You'll get used yo it.
I'm a Minnesota outdoors guy too. I never been to Finland. I will have to plan a trip up there sometime. Thanks for taking us along.
It awaits you.
We always kept a Nalgene in our sleeping bag in scouts. I also kept one made up with 2 packets of cocoa. Moved it to the cold spots while sleeping and had some Yoo-hoo in the morning. I know the smellables in the sleeping bag weren't bear or mini bear safe but when you are in the woods with 25-50 kids plus 5-10 adults there is enough noise between kids stomping and old man snores to scare anything off.
Chris Rasmussen yeah dude I think people tend to over react about the whole thing, especially here on Y.T.
Olympic Outdoors Dad here in the NC piedmont the things we have to worry about are mostly raccoons and rodents. There are some areas with larger animals creating a threat. Usually the problems we had were mice and raccoons clawing thru a pack that someone left some m&ms in a pocket.

Love the solitude and peace of the piney woods myself Shug, you put it so well. Yup, kozy kotes always around my water bottle above the 50th parallel up here too. Great vid from Sector 7!
Yessir!
I have one of the Lester River Boreal shirts and I gotta say that thing is worth every penny. Best piece of kit I ever bought
If you love Winter camping they are tops.
Great solo trip Shug! Thanks for taking us along. Glad to see the cakes and bacon worked out. May have to "borrow" that idea.
You should.
Nothing like sitting down with a cup of Joe in my Shug mug to watch another awesome video!!
Thankee
Another excellent video. Love the woods myself. Love the ribs pac. Another thing for my wish list. Take care, Al
I liked it too.
I put on my LRB shirt and sat on my couch and watched your video again Shug. I was warm lol. Love your videos and thanks for your reviews on your ULA packs I ordered the catalyst in woodland camo i'm sure I will be happy. Keep up the good work you never dissapoint.
I love the way the woolie feels on me....good weight.
Big life liver here on the dark side of the river: yep, good one. Good water tactics too. Many lessons to learn from the dark side of the river. Great show.
Whooooo Buddy))))
Thanks for haulin us along with you! I agree with that morning constitutional, its a glorious warm feeling for sure😃. Keep em coming!
Oh man in my chair feet up watching Shug out on a BEAUTIFUL hike. Drinking a cup of Medaglia D'oro with caramel creamer. Does it get any better.
You will be AWAKE....Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Another awesome video, very enjoyable...thanks for taking us along with you
Thank you.
got to love it I'm driving out next week the kids are out of school we're working on the cabin we should finish if that's possible thanks again for taking your time to share your trip really enjoyed watching you take care see you next time
Y'elcome an' thankee.
12:50 says it all. Everyone who longs for outdoor opportunities or is hesitant to take advantage of it can take this to heart. You and Bob Ross have something in common, I believe. The outdoors inspired his whole career.
Bob had way better hair~~
excited to give the hammocking another go now that I have the time to fiddle with my gear. Enjoying the videos as always. Thanks for the helpful tips!
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Oh yeah. I am gonna do the pancakes and bacon next week when I visit Cummins Cr. Wilderness on the beautiful Oregon coast. Thanks for the idea, Shug!
Good eating!
I love those beetle buckles and dyneema/poly straps. I really enjoy using mine, such an intuitive design and they're easy on my arthritic hands.
Righto. They are easy....
well it's official. next year i will be hiking the A.T. i have watched many videos on hiking and packing. I find your videos to be by far the most informative. thanks Shug.
That is gonna be a right goodie of a walk. Be vigilant...have fun.
Great vid as always. I love the Ribz, I seldom hit the trail without them. Easy access and saves digging into you pack all the time.
Handy thing so far....
Being a far weather camper I love WATCHING your winter adventures. Beware of the yellow snow though. hehe
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Shug, loved the video. Normally do a annual solo winter hike, last year was up on the SHT. Missed this year (too busy). Enjoyed watching the video--closest thing to being there-at least this winter. This summer my son and I did a 4 day hike from Section 13 to the Caribou River Wayside. Love that section of the trail.
That is a right good section of trail there.
Cool, nice, yes, yes Yes... Ok, Yesss, brrr, Mmmmm! Thanks for sharing and brigning us along with you Shug. Best regards -Yves
Yessir!
Another great video of the frigid outdoors. I love your videos and whacky sense of humor. Stay dry my friend.
Thankee
Ultra-Pod actually.
Those Ribz packs rule!! Bought one about a year ago, gone through a fishing season, hiking season, and hunting season with them....remarkable item. Also, mount your camera to a small Gorilla Grip tripod....slide 2 legs down behine the closed zipper.....great place to record video from.
Good stuff.....thankee.
OMG just nearly achieved my first PURTY BOIL!!! testing my "new stove".
Was just starting to roll when the fuel ran out. I used a metric measure, now that I've converted it to Old Money, I'm quite impressed that I got near boil with 2/3 of an oz.
Next I makes a wind screen and a twig-fed gasifier. "Shug" is the werd. Cheers!
Ahhh hell, I gotta get a full boil. Going to up the fuel load, make a windscreen and start over with cool water. Cool cool water (water). Learning rope tricks too. Shug is a baaad influence.
Add the windscreen (important) and make sure you have a lid on the pot and you'll get a purdy boil......
thanks shug for sharing your trip! I love the lights about the hammock for a bit o cheer. Happy St Paddys day from a fellow Paddy.
Thankee. I have an audition, then a green nap then some pie!
Hope they all go well
Thanks for all the equipment suggestions! Really enjoyed your adventure and loved those Bald eagles!
Vous êtes le bienvenu.
@@shugemery haha next French course on your next video :D
My daughter is fluent in French....went to E'cole de Cirque in Quebec City. Graduated 5 years ago.
shugemery cool, that's my home city! Cya!
Anyone else hang onto UA-cam waiting for a new Shug video??
Thank you.
MadTurtleCreek Gaming Yes it makes me and the kids day when we get to go to sector seven together.
Never miss one. Makes my day better every time. Yes Sir that's a good boil right there, and it's early (EARLY).
Yes, never miss one. I go to bed with a smile on my face.
MadTurtleCreek Gaming absolutely
I call mine "Big Wooley"....my Boreal shirt that is....Love the adventures Shug. Thanks my friend.
Good moniker.
Thanks for taking us along on the trip!
Y'elcome....
Nothing like a quick overnighter to recharge. Thanks Shug
Always worth it.
So beautiful Shug - thanks for taking us along w you! LOVING the RIBZ pack!
Thankee.
Fantastic to see you out my friend all the best from the UK
Paul
Appreciated feller.
Great video...thanks for taking us along through the lens.
Glad I went. Needed to breath.
Shug as always love your vids! Being a Florida boy I was getting cold just watching! Had to get my ugq top quilt just so I could finish watching!
Thanks
Yeah... the north shore is a beautiful place to be. Thanks Shug.
Lucky to be close to it.
THE RIVER LOOKS BEAUTIFUL & VERY DANGEROUS AT THE SAME TIME!
Truth.
Thanks shug for all your great vids. Keep doin what you do! Greetings from Pennsylvania. Still rocking a tarptent, but may start hanging soon. It's funny how a new piece of gear like a hammock or a new ribs pack can invigorate your spirit for the outdoors.
Whooooooo Buddy)))))
Good show today, Shug. You had those youngsters rolling with the "hidden straw hat" bit, and they shrieked every time you cycled up to the tapeline!
Thanks for coming up to Andover, and thanks for taking time to chat with us fans!
Thanks for coming. Talked to some other hammock folks there. Good crowd.
Let me know how to get the video you shot.
shugemery Deleted it. 33 minutes of backlit glare and only about 15 minutes of actual peformance - most which was out of view because of the terrible angle at which I set up. Should've known my phone would've run out of storage....should've used my actual camera. Oh well, had my hands full the whole time or would've been better prepared and more vigilant...
Good try all the same. No worries.
shugemery I'll take my kids to Duluth in late July, or Willow River State Park in August (north of Ellsworth, Wi) and try again!
Loved spending this time with you, although you were in freezing temps and I...was not. Thanks for taking us along Shug. Really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and can listen to you for hours upon hours.
Appreciate that.
Thank you for sharing with us. Man I miss MN.
Y'elcome.
That cook pot has seen some action, I like it, lots of character!
It speaks to me sometimes.....
So true shug , nothing like getting out by yourself , so enjoyable!
Yessir.
Good to see you out there again.
Thank you.
most entertaining Bushcrafter hands down. love it when you suddenly break out into different accents 😂
I do like the idea of the ribz packs but I am not sure if I would need them, I would probably fill them with random unnecessary items..? I like using the uco as well, it gives off a nice light, one perfect for when your outdoors and realigning yourself, I do also love the luminoodle that I have when you need to see!Frozen pancakes and poptarts....oh dear! definitely looks like a cold one!That wool shirt looks like something else!!!glad that the pancakes finally defrosted, and worked out well!!!!
I love the wee UCO for sure.
Spruce needle expresso! Thank you Shug. You're the Chilliest !
Cost extra at Starbucks!
I have carried a fully loaded glock 20 in a ribz pack and it handles the weight very nicely didn't even notice it. I got it for canoeing in the bwca and canada, haven't used it much for normal hiking. The straps can get a bit tangled if you aren't careful though when putting it on and off lol.
Gotta kind of swing it on calmly. I carry rocks in it to throw at haints and boogers.
Hey Shug! Long time fan here from Canada! Thanks for all the great videos they tide me over until camping season! Someday I'll get hardcore like you and winter camp! Cheers!
Whooooo Buddy)))))
Never been winter camping. But there's nothing better than throwing on the snowshoes and going day hiking in the back woods of eau claire wisconsin
It's a lot of work but worth it.
Great vid i am chillin here with my tea in my shugmug enjoying the vid. That boreal shirt looks awesome, wool works so well in the snow and cold :)
It is a right good shirt for sure.
Love a good overnight trip. That ribz pack looks mighty handy. My Granite Gear crown doesn't have hipbelt pockets. Could be a nice compromise.
It was handy. Thanks.
Great overnight Brother! I get a little moody in the evenin' myself. Thanks for sharin'! ZZ.
That 30 minutes of moody time.....
So beautiful and quiet cold, sorry you got chilled, love that cold snow crunch. I love that wool shirt- reminds me of my dad's army blanket, wish i could afford it ah well. EAGLES
It was a wonderful trip. My fault on the chill but I am always testing. Thanks Jade.
Glad to see the orange pack, I was wondering when we would see it and how it did. Gonna put it on my wish list.
Keep em coming..
I was mighty pleased with it.
Shug you live in a beautiful part of the world. Fantastic.
Thank you. True.
Absolutely love the Finland area!
I concur. Manitou river is my fave.
Wow! It is so beautiful there!
Truly was.
Shame there weren't any Maple King sightings. :( EARLY!!!!
He don't like no cold.
Great to see the stars at night!
They were intense!
I have two pieces of your gear. The Ribz pack and the LR Boreal. Love them both!
Good gear those.
I always get a chuckle, from my wife, in the other room, when she hears you talkin' poop! LOL She said "Did he say he's dropping his drawers in -5 degrees? Is he crazy"? I said, yep.
It is one of my hobbies. Cold poopin'
Sweet trip. Thanks, Shug! 🤠
Ahhh...good ol' 2017~~!
Gorgeous scenery Shug.
Was nice....thanks.
Hey shug. Those ribz packs are badass. I have been using them for years. They change their designs every couple years. I have 3 different versions. You cannot put too much in them. It gets too bulky. There is no padding on the body side. It needs padding.
Nice to hear that.
