Can't tell you how delighted I was to see that you'd (at last) posted a new video. Nice to see you off the road and on the trail. Yours are by far the most entertaining hiking videos out there. Thanks for posting Shug.
Well thats it. I've watched all 92 of these great videos. Feel like I've actually been on every trip. Learned so much. Never been hammock camping but gonna do it. You really don't know how much I have enjoyed these. Thank you so much. Brought some pleasure into my life. Plus you made an old man laugh.
Well it's good to see Shug back at it. Also, it's nice to see some trees that aren't on fire or dead from the drought. Texas is in some dire straights concerning water and folks are not doing much camping. Thanks again for the camping vids.
I just stumbled on your channel today and i swear can NOT stop watching.....i love watching your vids! soo informative and super funny...i just watched Ernest goes to Camp so he was fresh on the mind....Thankee soo much for posting all ur videos and i know i will be settling down to watch em all in the next few days! You def inspire me to want to hit the trail again! Keep posting!
Congrats on winning that contest!!! nice vid Shug ! Glad to see you out backpacking ! You seem a little tired, I hope the summer festivals didn't wipe you out. Keep posting, love your vids !
Hi Shug! Good to see ya back. The Linville and the whole of western NC has been in the embrace of the humidity gods all summer it just broke around 3 weeks ago. Nows the time to get out. Great video. Still got to get that sweet tea at the Bear Creek Marina next time your down, great BBQ too! Later!
Man you’re funny, went from a random video about ridge-lines, to watching every first video I see with your face in it I see on my news feed. And I usually learn something every time with a good laugh. Keep up the videos, I enjoy the heck out em. LOL
Awesome vid Shug. Good to hear you had a good summer entertaining all those people.... The wife and I got to do a few epic hike's aswell!! cant waite for part 2
I MISSED you, Shug! (lip quivers with embarrasing gusto....) I have had a few nights of hammocking with the cooler weather, too. I built a DIY gathered end to experiment with. Next will be a 'franken-pod-skin-sleeve-windbreaker-shell-thingamajig'. Wish me luck! Thanks for posting yer latest adventure!
It's always neat to find someone to binge watch on YT simply because you enjoy their content, added bonus when you find out they're not just an every day guy! While I realize this has some age on it, congratulations!
Great video again! I’m new to your channel and have been binge watching, hence all my comments on your old videos. Anyway, I always laugh and get inspired by the videos. You have many talents, Rock on my Finnish friend. Kippis 🍻
1 package of Justin's Maple Almond Butter + 2 package's instant oatmeal of your choice (me = apple and cinnamon) = DELICIOUS. One of my favorite "easy" breakfasts. Love ya Shug! Cheers
love the new video buddy great to see you out again!! you deserved to win the comp mate and deserve a slumber after all that work. whooooooooooooooo buddddddyyyyyyyyy
Right on.. I'm a new subscriber and I enjoy your vids.. I didn't see any for a while when I subbed and I was getting a little worried. Thanks for the great vid. This last summer I went hammock camping for the first time and I loved it! I'm going to go again for sure!
Awesome vid Shug! Would have loved to tag along on this one as it is right in my neck of the woods! Lots of oyster mushrooms to chow on just past the snowmobile trail bridge on the SHT too!
nice vid shug! cool to know im close by, im a yooper just across the water in the copper country, driving distance easily, ill have to hit this trail soon!
Did you really win that Backpacker challenge?!! : ) Well it couldn't have gone to a better fella if you ask me. Way to adapt your rig to those saplings. You are smarter than you look : ) I tell you it's good to see a new Shug video up. I had me an ice cream sandwich & now I'm ready for some more fall camping!!! Bring on part 2 brother.
Nice quote from Andy Griffith "Citzens arrest" Glad you are getting a weee bit of rest, I am sure it is well deserved. I have been waiting for your intrance into the Fall with new videos. Thanks pal. BEAS
4:35 Your Cuban tarp (partially see-through) reminds me of an idea I had to make a tent entirely out of screen material, with an optional clear plastic tarp for rain. No privacy, but it's like sleeping without a tent, and without bugs or rain.
Shug I would give anything to be there hiking with you. I see you have one of the very old 16 oz spiral annealed foster pots that need a new wick wrap. How is the Elite#2 working? And thanks a bunch for the Packit Gourmet chow.
Krikey, how do you keep up with all these comments. Great vid AGAIN. Some nice Carl'isms and gear adaptions. We have lots of dodgy tree tie ups in this area. Safe travels and G'day from down under.
hey shug just started watching your videos and think they are really good. keep at it and health to enjoy! i see you are originally from northern ireland? what a small world, thats where im from lol
Hey shug how do you make your coffee? Just cowboy style right in that little beer can pot? Congrats on winning the challenge! OR makes some great gear.
Sean, I am considering getting some sleeping quilts and I thought that I would get your input. First, should the under quilt be the same temperature rating as the top quilt? Second, what are your thoughts on the Zpack quilts? Any thing you have to offer I would certainly appreciate.
+Charles Marsh All in all it is good if temps match...or at least UQ should be rated lower than TQ. I don't know anything about Zpacks stuff as I own none.
Can't tell you how delighted I was to see that you'd (at last) posted a new video. Nice to see you off the road and on the trail. Yours are by far the most entertaining hiking videos out there. Thanks for posting Shug.
Congrats on winning the Backpack Tough Guy Comp!!!! Thanks for yet another entertaining and quality production!
Shug,
HF representing here. Seeing this video after it being so long is kind of like seeing an old friend. Thanks for posting these.
Well thats it. I've watched all 92 of these great videos. Feel like I've actually been on every trip. Learned so much. Never been hammock camping but gonna do it. You really don't know how much I have enjoyed these. Thank you so much. Brought some pleasure into my life. Plus you made an old man laugh.
+RS Marett That means a lot to me.....wow...watched 'em all.
Well it's good to see Shug back at it. Also, it's nice to see some trees that aren't on fire or dead from the drought. Texas is in some dire straights concerning water and folks are not doing much camping.

missed your videos
i hope to see some footage from your tour
Right on.. I'm a new subscriber and I enjoy your vids.. I didn't see any for a while when I subbed and I was getting a little worried.
Thanks for the great vid.
This last summer I went hammock camping for the first time and I loved it! I'm going to go again for sure!
Great to have you back after your busy summer. I've missed your crazy antics :) Gonna call that the Skinny Tree Hang?
Congrats on the win!
Congrats on your win, you earned it
good to see ya shug!! missed your videos!!
Grats on the win Shug!
Good to see you back good buddy!
That was some mighty fine engineering. That setup with the skinny trees should be taught in hammock school.
I went to Hammock High School. Our mascot was "the Lollygagger."We got nothing done. Long naps. Non-active lifestyle. Perfecto.
Glad to see a new shug video.
Congrats Shug! Man thats great
Congrats on the Win! Have a great climb....
Awesome vid Shug! Would have loved to tag along on this one as it is right in my neck of the woods! Lots of oyster mushrooms to chow on just past the snowmobile trail bridge on the SHT too!
It's great that you get a chance to get out and recharge the internal batteries.
made my day....weather is finally cooperating here so we can get some time outdoors....cooler weather is making my neck swell up.
nice vid shug! cool to know im close by, im a yooper just across the water in the copper country, driving distance easily, ill have to hit this trail soon!
looks like a nice trip. heard good things about the BBQ spaghetti on the forums. glad your back on the trails again! keep em comin
@shugemery
I was thinking of the rut...but I doubt thats the case...looking forward to seeing more videos for sure.
Shug, another fun hiking adventure, you should go on a hiking tour across the country, hike n unibike... many hikers would join!
Yahoo your back. But you gotta pay the bills. Loks like your having fun when you're on the road but I bet it feels good to get back home.
Nothing like gettin out in the piney woods after a long time away.
Did you really win that Backpacker challenge?!! : ) Well it couldn't have gone to a better fella if you ask me.
Way to adapt your rig to those saplings. You are smarter than you look : )
I tell you it's good to see a new Shug video up. I had me an ice cream sandwich & now I'm ready for some more fall camping!!!
Bring on part 2 brother.
We had a full moon here too! lol, keep the vids rolling!
Nice quote from Andy Griffith "Citzens arrest"
Glad you are getting a weee bit of rest, I am sure it is well deserved.

Thanks for taking is along Shug! Looks like a great trail. One gear question, what knife are you carrying on your pack shoulder strap?
Congrats on winning the tough guy. I figured the fairs had you busy we handled the shug withdrawals with stride :-)
Yeah I was finally able to get out back in August and it was so worth it
4:35 Your Cuban tarp (partially see-through) reminds me of an idea I had to make a tent entirely out of screen material, with an optional clear plastic tarp for rain. No privacy, but it's like sleeping without a tent, and without bugs or rain.
Sounds good if your a solo hiker. Thanks
At 3:47, EARLY!.... Yes Shug, I have missed this video so I'm catching up while I wait for your newest one ;) Whooooooo Buddy
Allez...will have one out soon today.
@@shugemery ok merci Shug! Hope everything is going well with your retirement!
you're the man Shug
O KAERI NASAI Shug-san!! GENKI DE YOKATTA!!
I missed you so much!
congratulations on the backpacker award...
Shug I would give anything to be there hiking with you. I see you have one of the very old 16 oz spiral annealed foster pots that need a new wick wrap. How is the Elite#2 working? And thanks a bunch for the Packit Gourmet chow.
You rock man!
I really like your videos and I am 13 I was wandering what would be a good affordable hammock tarp
being a feller that loves his ham- mock how did that bbq paster come out for ye ? would you eat it at home ?
If you're climbing up Rainer you should drop on down to Portland, OR. Your kinda town.
Krikey, how do you keep up with all these comments. Great vid AGAIN. Some nice Carl'isms and gear adaptions. We have lots of dodgy tree tie ups in this area. Safe travels and G'day from down under.
hey shug just started watching your videos and think they are really good.
keep at it and health to enjoy!
i see you are originally from northern ireland? what a small world, thats where im from lol
I like how you have your mora right above your head......
shug i love your vids man you turned me into a mad hammock camper and im lovein it. do you ever use the 1 tree setup?
shug i liked the vid congrat on the win .What month is the trip to do the big climb?
Hey shug how do you make your coffee? Just cowboy style right in that little beer can pot?
Congrats on winning the challenge! OR makes some great gear.
And you should have show on discovery or something.....im certain it would be a hit!
Came back Early , for the good old days ....whoooo Bud Daaaayyyyy :)) 8.08 lol
I was so young and new!
Sean, I am considering getting some sleeping quilts and I thought that I would get your input. First, should the under quilt be the same temperature rating as the top quilt? Second, what are your thoughts on the Zpack quilts? Any thing you have to offer I would certainly appreciate.
+Charles Marsh All in all it is good if temps match...or at least UQ should be rated lower than TQ. I don't know anything about Zpacks stuff as I own none.
