    GAWLEE GUMDROPS! Y'all went n did it now. It started with the healing hammock whilst you had "brekfist" then the faint, whispered "Namaste." I lost it in a giggle gust while uncontrollably spitting my Cream of Wheat across the kitchen table. Luckily, no one was injured by projectile breakfast cereal.
    Continuing, to Devil's Gulch, I was then hit with another fit if uncontrollable laughter. That's what I get for not pacing myself. By the time it was over at that Maple King segment I was a sniveling mass of histerical tears and mucus. My wife thought I was having some sort of seizure. I'm just glad I voided the bladder before watching. I just wasn't ready for so much concentrated humor.

    Complete madness ... the maple king, the trail, the weather, the whole thing .... and long may it continue. The little cabins remind me of the cabins we came across last year on the Norwegian side portage’s during a canoe expedition from Rogen (Sweden) to Rorros (Norway). They were a very welcome find at the end of a long wet day carrying boats over boulder fields. I see you are using the Dutchware chameleon a fair bit currently. I Just ordered one and am interested to know how yours is bearing up over time and use ? I get hit with stupid customs charges but thought it was worth it. I normally use a UK Hammocks Expedition from Mat Howes but wanted an alternative. Anyway, thanks

    At 5:57 you say nobody would do that kind of work today. In fact they do. Every year the Long Trail Patrol moves massive rocks and builds steps up and down these mountains using cable hoists and prybars. In addition the Greem Mountain Club runs the Voluntary Long Trail Patrol for trail maintenance. Vermonters love their mountains. They exited the woods for the season only one week before your arrival.

    I'm curious how long it takes to film those Maple King bits. It seems like Kent is always on the brink of laughter.

    • @shugemery
      @shugemery  7 років тому

      We just wing it. I make him do it over and over and we laugh the whole time. Just weird fun.

    Devils gorge looks NICE! Reminds me of a trail called the Honey Creek Loop in Big South Fork. Spruce Camp was a nice payoff for that days worth of hiking.
    Could've done without the Spam close up. The audio was horrid, just horrid : )
    HIckory cracks me up!

    Shug, the owl reminded me of a question that I had for you... Have you ever been spooked in the woods? You know, weird sounds, your mind starts wandering on you.
    I remember when I first started hammock camping I felt exposed hanging in the tree without the perceived protection of a tent. I always get this creepy feeling a skunk/racoon/Bigfoot is going to take shelter under me whilst I dream in the hammock.

    • @shugemery
      @shugemery  7 років тому

      I felt something once. But usually I think I scare whatever is there to scare me. I find peace in the woods.
      Red squirrels scare me a bit.

    I see the King practising his stickfighting and trying to perfect his intonation of King status. I wonder if he is preparing for something in the future, or reliving a traumatic event.

    Is there a reason that most of the hikers I see on YT don't fish? I mean they are always passing by lakes, streams and creeks but I hardly ever see anyone fish?
