Thanks Shug! I’m going on 14.5 hrs of unrelenting work and was feeling buried - then your video shows up! Instant relief as you brought me along for another fun winter camping trip. Thanks for the rescue!! Thanks for the hard work putting together your videos. It’s always a good day when I see you on my feed.
Dukes is the only mayonnaise! I have to order it here. But have friends from the South bring me some if coming this way. Love that touch of paprika in it.
My mama used to mail Duke's to me all over the country back in the 80s when I was in Air Force. And then when I came home, she'd load me up with quarts and quarts of it.
“Winter camping is about confidence...” for sure Shug. Trying my best to try it for the first time this year. Love the fall season now I’m ready to give winter a go. Thanks always for the inspiration and tips. Peace.
My annual dose of Shug early winter camping vid gets me pumped to get out there. Another reasons to winter camp - NO BUGS! Just gotta watch out for them pesky snow snakes ;-). we get the rookies with that one every year. gonna pick me up one of them war bonnet hats for sure. thanks for all you do!
Thanks for the 30 minutes of calm, serenity and thoughts of peace and quiet in a rather busy, stressful and complicated world that most of us decide to live in (I am still trying to figure out why I do it). You have the best videos on UA-cam.
Thanks Shug for another winter trip video.I was up in the Superior National Forest in October for 2 weeks. Loved every minute of it. I live in Ohio so I make the most of every trip. I slept great there hearing the wind in the trees. Solitude is good, everyone should have some time alone. Thanks again Shug.
I often ask myself, if I'll be able to in the future not to say early, Early, whenever someone says early, Early. I love your reason for winter camping, so you can brag you didn't die, made me laugh out loud, thanks Shug.
Great video...I live in Ely and LOVE winter camping too. I can never learn enough about camping in the wild but I sure do like learning from your videos...they’re always so entertaining and interesting...THANK YOU for that!
Just wanted to say the hat is awesome shug.....love it and as of right now it has retired my others. Now onward to watch your hammock camping excursion.
Always put a smile on my face when watching your video’s. I am hooked on hammocking since two years and your video’s are rocking and was the start of all of this. Greetings from The Netherlands
Always enjoy your stuff Shug, your attitude is bloody infectious. Fun fact for you HP as in HP sauce stands for Houses of Parliament thats why they are on the pack. With that PG tips and a trio bar you sir are an honorary brit.
Admire and envy you so much...you sure know how to make a person want to challenge the elements and snuggle in a warm hammock! Lol also cinematography and your camping experience is always a joy!!!
I was drinking Madaglea Doro on the trail before I discovered your videos.....and when I saw you fire up the fancy feast for the first time and pour the crema I knew I was home....!!!!!@@shugemery
Just saw you on Fox Sports! You are a flipping legend! I hope you know how much you inspire, entertain, and teach your fans with that pretty boil -and more!
Always like your solo trips. You sure share your knowledge and humor so genuinely. As an old Scoutmaster, we spent a many of winter nights in quinzees, or even about 7 years in a row, on New years eve under the stars, throw out a big blue tarp and made our beds (closed cell pads, dbl sleeping bags and a bunch of clothes. Thanks for what you do and good health in this new year.
I've been watching your videos for several years now, I gotta say, this one is probably the best yet. I like how you edited everything together, and the scenery was stunning.
I live in south Texas and it saddens me that I will probably never be able to experience this type of outdoor experience. But thank you for bringing us along via these videos Shug.
25:15 "it's worth it for the bragging rights to say you lived!" here here good sir Old camera did a swell job. You did all the heavy lifting this time, while I sat back and watched. Thanks for bringing us along. Woooo Buddy
Well you lit a fire under me . Gotta plan something . I'm going to look into that hood , I have one but it's nothing like that . Nice to see you out again . Hope you & yours have a Great Christmas !! ... bg
You are an amazing person Shug. Always so happy to see your videos when you are out and about. Thank you for sharing your wonderful sense of humor with us.
I always enjoy watching a Shug winter video! 👍 When I meet a viewer on the trail or at camp they have been real good. Most of them just want to say hi and talk for a minute. This summer my wife wants to do a multi day backpacking trip on the SHT. She loved my videos from last May there. Never know maybe we'll hear someone yell Whooooo Buddy)))) 👍😂
What a winter treat this video is. Great music and lots of useful information. It’s always a pleasure to have a new episode to watch. Thanks for taking the trouble to make it.
Dang Sean you must have known I was having a rough day thanks for putting out these videos it always cheers me up and gets me outside Which in turn makes me more happy Keep On Walking!
@@shugemery oh yeah man! We're supposed to get two to three feet in the mountains here along the Wasatch Front over the next three days Time to go play!
I love your videos! They’re what first got me into hammock camping. I’m happy to say that I’m going this weekend with a good friend! Glad to see you’re still having fun camping!
Thanks for sharing your adventures Shug, always a pleasure and always some good healthy laughs. I learn something from every new video you do, which is an added bonus. One thing in this video though, that I already knew, is that in the winter it gets dark...EARLY! Man, that cracks me up every time. :D
Wonderful set up! Excellent version of a snow fort! Excellent way to hunker down in extreme temps. Thank you for sharing, all the helpful information and gear...++. Love the serenity and beauty the snow offers. Happy Holidays good sir🙋
I was just getting ready to go to bed when I saw the notification from you and decided... bed time can wait another 30:54 minutes. Who else echoed "Early" during this video? I find myself saying throughout my day also. The extra strange looks I get don't bother me a bit. Great tips and also another great video. Thanks Shug!
I always think I will film all that but it was starting to snow and I just needed to get to work. Maybe you can find some of that in my Winter playlist....ua-cam.com/play/PLahaAdtfX9ZL-DOvRgYo-W6qquKQdK35e.html Trees. I just look for good healthy trees spaced about 17' apart. Hammock system is really no different hanging than my normal set-up. Just warmer insulation.....ua-cam.com/video/hMbI1L05QFU/v-deo.html Shoveling. Really just a lot of shoveling.
Ham Sammich with Dukes Mayonnaise. Oh Yea That's fine eating! Have a Great time Brother. Great Video! Thanks for Doing all of these Cool Informative Clips. You Rock
Shugs on a British luxury thing, HP sauce, Trio biscuit and the king of tea bags the PG Tips. It’s the taste! Thanks for the confidence building videos Shug. I’m getting there brother, just a few more items to go.
That’s a question I can’t answer, enjoy now is my advice. I used to think I was unfit and then I got 10 years older, the ghosts of injuries past came home lol. I collect those little salt and pepper packets too, with all the vinegar in HP I doubt it’ll ever go off 🤣
I love your videos. I lay in bed at night before bed and its a nice peaceful with hints of comical moments end to the day. And your from Minnesota so that's cool. Gotta see you next year at the great family get together State Fair!
Thanks for posting......I missed out on the end of summer and fall camping this year due to work and moving. I'm not much for the winter camping, but I can't wait for spring to get back at it again:-)
That jacket-over-the-feet technique is one of the best things you've ever taught me! Love Shug solo in the woods!!
Nothing worse than cold feet trying to sleep.
Shug, all i've gotta say is you're a gem. Every single video. Hiking related or not, all gold. Thank you.
Thankee for the nice words.
25:22.. “it’s worth it for the bragging rights of saying you lived really”. .. my beer came through my nose I laughed so hard!
Haaaa.....made my day.
Winter backpacking is the best. No bugs. No people. Thanks for taking us along, Shug! WB!
For sure the lack of humanity is pretty nice. Thankee for watching.
Yeah definitely wish Louisiana seen snow for that same reason. Nothing like being out with bugs that can carry people away
Thanks Shug! I’m going on 14.5 hrs of unrelenting work and was feeling buried - then your video shows up! Instant relief as you brought me along for another fun winter camping trip. Thanks for the rescue!! Thanks for the hard work putting together your videos. It’s always a good day when I see you on my feed.
Sounds like time to play some hookie...c'mon,
"Oh no no. It adds a warmthh of LIGHT...". Lol! Man that was funny, Shug.
'Tis so true////
Shug you're the embodiment of Minnesota'a pride in embracing winter. Man of the north.
Ah but he is also still a good ole boy of the South, as shown here with his ham sandwich with Duke's mayonnaise! The best mayo known to man (or woman)
Us transplants try pretty had at it. Then we are accepted...haaa
Dukes is the only mayonnaise! I have to order it here. But have friends from the South bring me some if coming this way.
Love that touch of paprika in it.
My mama used to mail Duke's to me all over the country back in the 80s when I was in Air Force. And then when I came home, she'd load me up with quarts and quarts of it.
“Winter camping is about confidence...” for sure Shug. Trying my best to try it for the first time this year. Love the fall season now I’m ready to give winter a go. Thanks always for the inspiration and tips. Peace.
Good luck and stay warm out there fren!
Have a bail-out plan for your first winter trip. Hope it goes great.
My annual dose of Shug early winter camping vid gets me pumped to get out there. Another reasons to winter camp - NO BUGS! Just gotta watch out for them pesky snow snakes ;-). we get the rookies with that one every year. gonna pick me up one of them war bonnet hats for sure. thanks for all you do!
EARLY! I am loving that hood for sure.
If you listen really quietly, from way off in the North Woods on a particularly cold night with snow in the forecast, you can hear “Woooo budddy!”
And "somebody feed me~~~~~~"
TRabbit1970
🤣
Thanks for the 30 minutes of calm, serenity and thoughts of peace and quiet in a rather busy, stressful and complicated world that most of us decide to live in (I am still trying to figure out why I do it). You have the best videos on UA-cam.
You kind words made my day. It is all how we view the World. And yes, it does get me down sometime but Living is never easy. Takes work.
The great thing about Shug's videos...can watch them many times,and still get something each time..
Shug...
You da man!...in a hammock..
Thanks Rich.
I FIGURED IT OUT!
You're like a cross between Robin Williams and Red Skelton!
Robin S. Redman!
Thank you for taking me with you again. I always enjoy the invite. These trips mean a lot to us. Shug please keep on hiking.
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Thanks Shug for another winter trip video.I was up in the Superior National Forest in October for 2 weeks. Loved every minute of it. I live in Ohio so I make the most of every trip. I slept great there hearing the wind in the trees. Solitude is good, everyone should have some time alone. Thanks again Shug.
We are fortunate here in Minnesota with some fantastic nature.
You're a treasure, Shug. May you have your health and love into and through the next year.
Sunken treasure for good measure. My pleasure~~~ Thankee.
thank you for another wonderful winter hammock experience
Y'elcome and thank you.
Winter camping, can’t wait! Great to see you out on the trail, thanks for sharing! Happy trails.
It was Glorious!
I feel all Christmassy now, Shug! Merry Christmas & Woooo Buddy! ❄️🎅🏻☃️🎄
Good Tidings to you.
Love you Lord of Lollygag! You make life fun. Thankyou.
Thankee for the good words.
Phew.. that's what the soul needs. Keep at it!
My Soul did. I thankee.
A shug video and a fire on a snowy night are all I need in life
Nice of you to say.
Shug always puts me in a good mood :D
Thanks for that.
A few I make cranky!
I often ask myself, if I'll be able to in the future not to say early, Early, whenever someone says early, Early. I love your reason for winter camping, so you can brag you didn't die, made me laugh out loud, thanks Shug.
Kinda true. Some folks I know here think I am odd.
Yeah. I am
Excellent cold weather lollygag. Thanks for sharing, Shug. Whooo buddy.
I thankee for watching.
You are a Master on so many levels and i appreciate you sharing your brilliance. Utmost respect! Whoa buddy! Thankyou Sir!
I sure am not a master but I am an excitable enthusiast that just goes and fails and succeeds. And learn from both. Thankee for the fine words Linda.
Great video...I live in Ely and LOVE winter camping too. I can never learn enough about camping in the wild but I sure do like learning from your videos...they’re always so entertaining and interesting...THANK YOU for that!
I sure love Ely! Hope to get up that way this Winter to hike some lakes. Thankee.
I work at Piragis...stop in and say Hi when you do.
Just wanted to say the hat is awesome shug.....love it and as of right now it has retired my others. Now onward to watch your hammock camping excursion.
That hood? Oh it sure is.
Always entertaining 🙂 It's like Robin Williams had a distant cousin up north.
I thankee for watching.
Oh Shug you are simply a gem. Thank you for sharing your delightful personality.
Whooooo Buddy from the Gemstone~~~
Always put a smile on my face when watching your video’s. I am hooked on hammocking since two years and your video’s are rocking and was the start of all of this. Greetings from The Netherlands

Brightens my day when I'm at work on lunchbreak and see that there's a new Shug video
Appreciate it.
You are a true clown entertainer, info spreading, hammock hanging SOB ...
and that's why we love ya so much.
SOB is my middle name~~!
Always enjoy your stuff Shug, your attitude is bloody infectious. Fun fact for you HP as in HP sauce stands for Houses of Parliament thats why they are on the pack. With that PG tips and a trio bar you sir are an honorary brit.
Good to know that. Never knew what HP stood for. Thanks for the intel.
Lovely set up. The campsite looks very much like one we stayed at in the fall a couple of years back.
By Benson Lake.
You sir have a wealth of knowledge, and I'm very grateful for you to be sharing it with all of us.
I thoroughly enjoy learning from you and thank you.
Glad you are getting something from these. Whooooo Buddy)))))
Admire and envy you so much...you sure know how to make a person want to challenge the elements and snuggle in a warm hammock! Lol also cinematography and your camping experience is always a joy!!!

Spectacular Shug!! Way to represent and for sharing all of it with the restof us!!!!
Very happy to share this experience.
I love your videos Shug....thanks a million for all of your knowledge and hiking and camping style...it is an education and enjoyment.
Thankee OldCrow. I like crows.
I was drinking Madaglea Doro on the trail before I discovered your videos.....and when I saw you fire up the fancy feast for the first time and pour the crema I knew I was home....!!!!!@@shugemery
@@CrowMagnumMan2024 Oh yes. I still drink that to wake myself up in the woods. Be Awake~~~
Love the quiet little candle
Such a good silent partner.
Just saw you on Fox Sports! You are a flipping legend! I hope you know how much you inspire, entertain, and teach your fans with that pretty boil -and more!
You did? Maybe an old Artic Cat ad?
Always like your solo trips. You sure share your knowledge and humor so genuinely.

Very cool, thanks Shug!
More cold than cool!
I've been watching your videos for several years now, I gotta say, this one is probably the best yet. I like how you edited everything together, and the scenery was stunning.
Thank you. I did enjoy the solo out there.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Thanks for watching and listening.
I live in south Texas and it saddens me that I will probably never be able to experience this type of outdoor experience. But thank you for bringing us along via these videos Shug.
I can't imagine camping in that south TX heat. That would take some getting used to. Thankee for watching it.
25:15 "it's worth it for the bragging rights to say you lived!" here here good sir
Old camera did a swell job. You did all the heavy lifting this time, while I sat back and watched. Thanks for bringing us along.
Woooo Buddy
Like you surviving those Big Runs......Good Tidings to ya'll down yonder/

It was fun and I slept so well. Thankee.
A rare solo trip campfire sighting! Awesome trip, Shug. Thanks as always for sharing it with us.
Thankee feller.
I can see where a trip like that would reset one's perspective, I like that. Reminds me of ice fishing/overnight trips from the past.
Stay warm!
So true. Reminds the World is a fine place to be.
Nice one sir, that looked like great fun.
It was a strange fun.
The master of winter camping. Thanks for sharing Shug!
No master....just an enthusiast. Thankee for watching it.

Thankee for watching it.
I always enjoy watching a Shug winter video! 👍 When I meet a viewer on the trail or at camp they have been real good. Most of them just want to say hi and talk for a minute.

Oh yes. Our mountains are rally just big hills.
Time to get out there myself. Thanks for the kick in the pants, Shug.
Yessir...get on it.
I was just getting ready to go to bed when I saw the notification from you and decided... bed time can wait another 30:54 minutes. Who else echoed "Early" during this video? I find myself saying throughout my day also. The extra strange looks I get don't bother me a bit. Great tips and also another great video. Thanks Shug!

Was really fun. Thankee.
Love to watch Shug boil water below zero! Looks like a great getaway. Keep 'em coming and stay safe in sector 7!
-1camper
Just love a good and purdy boil.
I'd like to see you set up and discuss your winter hammock system from the start, from tree selection, to shoveling the snow, to hanging your system.
I always think I will film all that but it was starting to snow and I just needed to get to work.
Maybe you can find some of that in my Winter playlist....ua-cam.com/play/PLahaAdtfX9ZL-DOvRgYo-W6qquKQdK35e.html
Trees. I just look for good healthy trees spaced about 17' apart.
Hammock system is really no different hanging than my normal set-up. Just warmer insulation.....ua-cam.com/video/hMbI1L05QFU/v-deo.html
Shoveling. Really just a lot of shoveling.
Really enjoyed watching this! Looking forward to doing some hammock camping this winter myself! Keep em coming!
Hope you do and it is fun for you.
I always enjoy your videos!
Great helpful information on hammock camping and other outdoor tips.
Thank you for being so fun and helpful!
I always hope a viewer get something useful out of the video. I thankee.
its snowing like crazy here right now and I've been thinking of sleeping out, and then here comes a great Shug winter video!
Go do it. So serene.
You're a better man than I Shug. I'm too chicken to even go tent camping in the winter. Happy Holiday's from me and mine to you and yours.
It is an acquired thing. Good Tidings.
YES!!! Another Shug adventure....AWESOME beenie you have there Shug....
"What?...I can't hear you with this hood on my head////"
Shug the Supahero!!
Thank you for sharing your winter hike. 98°f as i watch here in OZ.
Wow! A Supa Howdy.
oh man! that was fun! imona have to get me one them puffy nasa skull caps, commander. thank you buddy.
I am thrilled with that hood.
Ham Sammich with Dukes Mayonnaise. Oh Yea That's fine eating! Have a Great time Brother. Great Video! Thanks for Doing all of these Cool Informative Clips. You Rock
I should say a Dukes sandwich with ham. Thank ya'
Watching you trip through that snow while it's 75° here in my house makes me shiver.
And I'm not even cold, but damn............ I'm shivering!
Winter looms here. I have learned to embrace it.
Shugs on a British luxury thing, HP sauce, Trio biscuit and the king of tea bags the PG Tips. It’s the taste!
Thanks for the confidence building videos Shug. I’m getting there brother, just a few more items to go.
TheSemtexCow lol...that HP sauce is almost vintage. I noticed expiration date of 2017. I have stuff I save for camping too. Where does the time go?
That’s a question I can’t answer, enjoy now is my advice. I used to think I was unfit and then I got 10 years older, the ghosts of injuries past came home lol. I collect those little salt and pepper packets too, with all the vinegar in HP I doubt it’ll ever go off 🤣
Been watching The Crown, Downton Abbey. Many family members in the UK.
I pretended I did not see the expiration!
I'm 61 now and feel a lot of things I never felt before. So I am cramming my time in now!!!!!!
Whoo buddy! Camping with Shug (and a half dozen other characters...) Thanks for sharing your trip!
We all say Thankee>>>>>>
Another sublime vid Shug AKA Mega Man. Thanks
Mega Man says Thankee for watching.
Awesome video! Looks absolutely beautiful out there
It was spectacular in it's beauty.
And cold. Feel alive.
Very evocative and enjoyable, thank you.
Thank you. Good word that "evocative."
Ahhh it's great to be alive! Enjoy my friend.
Must always remember that. This World wants to bring everybody down. Make and live the life you want! I thankee.
Thanks as always great to see ya out and about.
I thankee for watching.

12 minutes into this video explains EARLY.....ua-cam.com/video/s-MBWU0FQV4/v-deo.html
I love your videos. I lay in bed at night before bed and its a nice peaceful with hints of comical moments end to the day. And your from Minnesota so that's cool. Gotta see you next year at the great family get together State Fair!
Thanks for the right good words.
Always a pleasure! definitely you have a lot more snow at home than here in Quebec 🤪 ça c’est la vie mon ami ! Merci 🙏
We are getting it early...EARLY...this year. Merci.
Thanks for posting......I missed out on the end of summer and fall camping this year due to work and moving. I'm not much for the winter camping, but I can't wait for spring to get back at it again:-)
Me too. I camp in winter or it is no camping at all.
Aye Shug, you got that winter hammock camping down. Very nice. Thanks and take care.
Long Winter here...must adapt! Thankee.
Snow Ranger.
Awesome , as always !!!!
A mighty thanks.
