    Watched this five years ago and loved it. Watching it again today and still loving it! How innocent and carefree the world was just then... will it return? Melancholy and just holding on today❤️

    • @shugemery
      @shugemery  2 роки тому +1

      To me everything in my past was. Hope you get un-melancholy at some point but life likes us to feel it all.

    Thanks for your videos. You have inspired me to camp in less than ideal conditions. Just got home after hammock camping in 20-30 MPH winds howling down the South Turkey Creek Trail of Lake Meredith National Park in the Texas Panhandle.

    Just wanted to drop you a line, I am in Afghanistan at the US Embassy for a year. I constant watch your videos to get a good laugh in. My goal is to hike the Foothills next year. Keep up the good work.

    I live in NC, and I was looking for a good trail to hike a while ago, and I ran across some information about the FHT. The first thing I did was a search on UA-cam to see what this trail was all about, and your videos came up in my search.
    As you know, some of the best friends are hiking friends. I contacted 4 people that I met on the Appalachian Trail in 2016 for my thru hike, and some people I met on a section hike in 2017 to see if they wanted to hike with me. Every single one of my friends was in for the hike. We had a great time.
    Thanks for giving us an opportunity to do a video recon before heading out so that we could better plan for what was ahead of us. It was a really good time, and I enjoyed seeing spots on the trail that I recognized from your videos.
    The only letdown after watching your videos was that we never encountered the Maple King. We'll survive, I guess.

    • @shugemery
      @shugemery  4 роки тому +1

      Yessir. That was a right good hike with my pal Hickery. Glad you got to go too.

It has been a tough several months and the holidays are hard; but I've been watching your vids the past few days because they never fail to make me chuckle :) I'm so glad you did the Foothills Trail. I'm planning on hiking it in the fall of 2019! Anyway, thanks for the information and inspiration, but especially for the smiles.

    That hammock set-up.... you looked as snug as a Shug in a rug!!! I have to say this... and so I will.
    Taster's Choice is great for loosening up the bowels. Keeps one "normal". Everyone should pack out Taster's Choice!
    Great video capture, Shug. Always love the footage you get of nature. Calms the soul.
    Love the Lucie lights... our church sent a bunch to the back country of Africa this year. We hope they will help their lives somehow. They are great for camping as well!
    Happy 58th birthday Shug... had my 58th as well just on March 22nd. Feeling every bit of 70 myself. You guys are doing great!
    Hickery should hang!
    Nice pass and reception!
    Rockin' on Shug's channel, peeps! Loverboy ...."Lovin' every minute of it".

    Great video Shug. It was a pleasure meeting you guys at Oconee SP. What's really cool is we all take the same pictures. Couldn't pass the orange flower or Lady Slipper without getting s pic. We also camped at Burrell's Ford and the camp you had at Round Mountain. I'll keep a watch out for your videos of the rest of the trip.

    Anyways. Ain't been out to the misty mountains since Dec 19th. Busy trying to raise my two girls right. One is one. Two is five. Yup, that's seven but neither are seven. 1 and 5, 6 on the 19th. It's 0535hrs over here in Blighty and PTSD has me awake all night again, but watching this has made me wake the bus for a permission slip which has been approved and today (14th) I'm heading off for an overnighter in the Warbonnet Ridgerunner with my Exped Scout tarp extreme. Thank you for the feel good vibes gentlemen, and happy birthday to you both. Hickory and that Shane...simon?...nah, Sean's his name!
    Take care & kindest regards

    Happy Birthday, sure looks like you guys had fun. Nice work during the accident, sometimes the cavalry can take a while to get on scene. Quick question if I may, what was your pack weight for this trip? Great vids-- safe travels!
