I just love watching ol' Bean sitting behind you, sometimes paying attention, sometimes yawning. He's such a li'l character! LOL! What an expressive face!
He is a character actor!
@@shugemery Takes after his Grandpa Shug! Two thumbs up to that!
I fun Saturday morning with Shug...thank you!
Thankee Barron.
I love my Ribs pack.had it for at least 12 years and its still working great. They didn't go out of business. You can still get one.
Good to know. Contacted them but heard nothing. Love mine. Except when it gets all twisted up. That can be a pain.
I hit play and see you rolling on the ice and I say, aloud, "You are such a freak, Sean. I love you." Thanks for the smile.
Never Normal. My calling card!
Love it! So much detail!
Glad to hear that.
Always enjoy your gear breakdown videos, Shug. Thanks for putting these together to share with us.
Righto!
Great video. Lots of winter camping knowledge. Thanks!
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Good stuff.
Thanks for the video
As always...thankee.
Another gem Shug. Greatly appreciate your videos and experience...!!
Whooooo Buddy)))))
Great video! Been watching you for years and always come back to get great quality gear ideas. Honestly, most of my favorite gear also bits and bobs I first heard about here.
Thanks for all the great inspiration Shug!
Aaron....Whooooo Buddy))))
Loved it your a Master............................
Not at all. Always learning.
Great video 💚
Thankee.
Wow, great video! Informative and fun (and cameos by Bean, bonus!). I can't believe all you put in that sled! Thank you!
Yep. I do. Bean thanks you.
Sweet pup
He sure is. Have him until daughter gets home..end of May.
What a load ... thanky Shug
Truly.
Great and helpful video. Bean is ADORABLE!!!
He is. A unique visage!
I think that says it all. Very interesting and fun to see your load out and explaining your processes.
Thanks Shug
We all pack gear but think a bit differently about it. I enjoy that part of the whole thing.
You are truly my hero Shug.
I love your videos. I watched my first one a few years ago (-40* hammock hang) and haven’t stopped. I’m also from the piedmont of NC. Please keep up the good work and stay safe.
Scott
Mornin Shug! This makes for a good start to the weekend.
Roll on~~~!
Excellent Video Brother! I have learned a Lot from Your Videos. Especially this Cold weather gear. Thanks Brother!!! Get out There when you Can.
Whoooooo Buddy))))
👏
👏
👏
Soupah doupah. Thx Shug
Be time to break mine out before long!
Now that's a winter gear dump. I'm from Northern Ontario, so yes I too now the cold. This is a great video once again. Your tripod and plate that you use as a table. yep I'm getting that setup!
Once you use one of those tables you just always want it.
Thanks for your videos!!! Love them. Hope you get to go hiking with Hickory soon!!!😊
Hopefully this Spring we will get a chance.
Just a great video from A to Z that was covered. Very interesting and educational. Thanks for having commander Bean in the vid. I think he was having a great time in the background watching you. He’s a handsome fella. 🐕🤙🏽
A lot to show and explain. If I leave something out....I'll get called out.
Most entertaining person on youtube. Thanks Shug
Aw shucks. So many out there. Thanks.
Off to a rolling start! Love the big cooler cook system, sort of liberating from the warmer months, lighter-weight mind set. All the best Shug ☕️✌🏼❄️
Me too. Makes it easier. Still have to tug the load so try not to go too crazy.
I've recently started camping around lakes on my Kayak, and find I can take a few extra luxuries. A small ice box with some cold beers sure makes life nicer while I'm hanging around in the Queensland heat lol.
I'm a fan of your control line planes videos but your other videos like this one is also just awesome 👌
Come Spring. Flying time. Thankee
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your video!
Y'elcome and thankee.
@@shugemery You're welcome!
Thanks for all the recent videos
I got in the mood!!!
I love this Shug. It is great when people share how they pack and carry on trips. Right now it is me learning from others for those winter hiking trips. This video has given me several ideas based on what I own already to hopefully pack warm(the doing will show the actuality), as I, at my age value warmth extremely high in our cold Minnesota winters. Great show and explain video, thanks.
Been a cold one. Hoping to get up north next week solo for a couple nights. Going low.
Whooooooo buddy!
Love the pulk vids, Shug. Because of your earlier ones, i started using an old calf-sled as a pulk, & later got an Otter Pro & a JetSled Jr to up my game a little. Life-changing, for this girl that can't carry a lot of weight in a backpack.
Much love to you & Meg. All secure in Sector Montana. ☕
Great to hear!!!!!
Great video as always... only that best thing it's the doggy that steals the show... EARLY...!!!
He is a scene grabber.
Love the video. I got the skipulk set up for my big jet sled then, got extra sled brackets for flip over ice shanty, and my other smaller sled. Great products. I have not made it out camping this winter though. I get a kick out of your stunts. I bet the neighbors just say, oh that's just Shug!
They don't even take a second glance anymore...haaaa
That’s very similar to our canoe rig. Although we drop the hammocks and load a tent because of our gravel bars here. I’m working on a couple of DIY Tensa rigs for this upcoming float season. Nice one Shug!
Good idea!
Another Steger muk fan here, they are a must have when winter blows in with snow on it's boots.
Feels so good being in them~
Thank you for all your advice on winter camping/hiking this was my first year doing it I'm from pa.
I have done a lot of it but feel like always learning. That is what I like about it.
@@shugemery and my first year in a hammock lol
Haven’t commented in a long time but I’m still catching every video. Thanks and take care.
Thankee Cedar......Righto~~~
Bean is such a good boy.
He really is.
Shug is the Guru of Gear! Luv it. A cpl nights winter camping in MN really sparks up one’s appreciation for the comforts of home.
It is nice to get home to out jacuzzi and reclining couch.
A Shug gear video, best Sunday wake up! Thanks Shug!! Have a blessed day Sir!
Is it Sunday where you reside!?
@@shugemery
Well I'm getting off the ambulance this morning and wasn't awake, might as well be. Lol
@@cbigg81 Haaa! Thanks for the honest and true work.
I cant imagine not having a Superior Gear Hammock now. Love mine!
Righto~~
Great stuff as usual! Have to say, I live in Texas, and our winters are grotesquely different from your winters. :-) And, when you were talking about your fire starter and FA kits, I noticed Bean right behind you and he was so still I almost came her to type, "When did you get the stuffed Chihuahua?" LOL. Great winter loadout. I've thought about doing some snow camping up in Rockies, or even coming all the way up to MinneeSOtah. Would need a pulk first. Still have all my USAF issued winter stuff less the parka.
Bean was in deep though. Thinking about food I would reckon.
Love the Camo Jet sled, haven't seen that one in stores around the U.P. may have to find it in Wisconsin. I thought I was the only with cold feet, been trying all your tricks. May just have to stick with the toe warmers. Thanks for showing the load out, enjoy the coffee..Whoooo Buddy)))
Got mine last year at local home store. That was Good coffee out there. Shares one with Jonah.
After our winter trip in Kentucky with a sled, a pulk is definitely a future investment- as well as- possibly some mukluks. It’s doesn’t get as cold down in here in our bluegrass state,but I agree, that winter camping is all about comfort. Thx for the pulk info! Stay on the diagonal my friend!
Keep in mind that mukluks are made for DRY Snow....
...I do enjoy your video's ... Some of us from a couple of rendezvous ago got nothing to prove ,, leave the suffering for these high mileage humpers ... love being out on the mountain in comfort ,, just going to find the way to do it ... sometimes the sleep time runs long and extra cold ,,I've even added down booties over the big wool socks to keep feeling the toes ... but now it's gotten to the time ,, if thinking young in this old shell ,, I drag along the hot tent and stove ...... nothin' to do with fears ,,only comfort .... Thanks for the sit down and the load out show ....
I'll have to try one of those hotty tents someday. Perhaps. Fun all round.
Another informative video Shug! I like that in the winter you can bring a few more comfort items since weight isn’t such a deal breaker. And if you’re with a small group you can spread out some the gear that you all can use. Don’t really need four stoves,axes,saws,giant pots, etc. it’s interesting to see how people pack. Thanks for keepin’ us educated!
True for sure...divide and go lighter. It really is more bulk than weight. Food still weighs the most usually...trip depending.
Love the channel, grandparents were groom garrison MN, spent summers in MN and enjoyed boundary waters but never spent any real time in MN in winter. We live in Arkansas , best we did this year was 19 degrees, though we were do pretty good, my wife daughter and one two dogs. Nothing close to your - 30. Ozark MT great place to hike and hang all winter long, if you every get a change to come down south. Appreciate the excellent video and all the tips. Dig the circus tricks. ‘thank you
Thankee for the many good and fine words!
Awwww Bean (or Mr Bean? Haha) at 5:34! Love it and hello!
Just plain ol' Bean....haaaaa
Love ya Shug!
Blush~~
I love your channel. I've used MANY of your tips and tricks. Cheers!
like that stand and the pulk. Have one on order. You're real organized. Helps being an old guy with TONS of experience. I live on Saganaga. Winter wonderland. Thanks
AHhhh man. Lucky you for living up there. I aim to hike that lake, or paddle someday. Did you order the little table? If-so, you will find once you use it you will never want to go without it!
Thnxs Shug ‼️
Y'elcome and Whooooo Buddy))))
I use your jacket on the foot box trick on every trip anymore. Such a great tip!!
I did not invent the hack but sure like doing it.
@@shugemery Whoever did is brilliant :-) And you are brilliant for sharing with us.
Don’t need a pulk here in south Louisiana, but got some ideas for when I go kayak camping. Love the bean!
Kayak. Sort of a bayou pulk!
@@shugemery exactly!
HI SHUG 👋
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US / ME WHAT YOU TAKE MANY IDEAS 💡 VERY HELPFUL . I'LL HAVE TO SEE IF I CAN FIND THE STOVE STAND OR SEE IF I CAN MAKE ONE ? YOU ALWAYS MAKE IT INTERESTING THANK YOU 🙏 LOVE THE PUP 🐶 TOO. BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT YEAR 👍 GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS 🙏 ENJOYED !
WHOOOOOO BUDDY)))))
Ole Bean had the high tooth liplock....hes a good boy!!! WooooBuddyyyyyyyy!!!!
That is the look we love! His calling card.
Totally irrelevant in UK but always awesome to listen to the great SHUG Whoooo buddy!!!
A frozen Flake would do me well about now. Top cheers.
When I'm longing to go off and lollygag in my hammock but I'm feeling too lazy.... I just watch one of your videos and the next moment I'm up off my arse and packing the backpack. I think that says it all. :-) Off to pack now.... seriously :-). :-) :-)
Righto. I’m packing too for another! Lollygag on…..
Appreciate your videos. You get my thumbs up. Sorry I'm just going to stay at a Holidayend... my feet will probably be cold. Keep up t h e great work.
My feet are always cold at the Holidayend! Whooooo Buddy))))
@@shugemery Shug, keep up the great work. Intresting seeing a winter sleep system developed over 20 years. GREAT JOB. Keep the passion. Minnesota has the best winters. Keeps the riff raff out! :-)
Hi Shug. Great video as always. When I worked in Antarctica we used to use a tin can to save getting up in the night because it was such a hassle getting all the gear on and getting out through the tent entrance. We would then poured the contents from the can into the gap between the inner tent and the fly sheet. It would melt a hole that was historically called the gash pit. The pit was then used to drop food scraps into after cooking. Everything froze, so no smell (temp range -5 to -20 Celsius). Trips would typically last 20 days. Don't know if that would work in a hammock! But imagine a tin (large to prevent overflow) could be hung up ready to go!
I’m good with getting up to go. Haaaa. Many hammockers use a bottle. I just keep thinking about a spill. So up I get. Gash pit. Love that.
I did my first real snow camping trip in my hammock last weekend. There wasn't much snow and it wasn't that cold but it got fairly miserable for around here. Overnight it started snowing and then the wind picked up to about 40mph. Everything was covered in snow by morning. Even big winter tarps couldn't keep the snow out.
Yessir....that is the Tarp Life. We do give up some closure for the view!
I love my Leatherman I accidentally bought the wrong one last time after I left my previous one at a job. its the sub-$100 model, and has the straight and serrated knives, wood-saw, file, as well as the usual screwdrivers and bottle opener. I think the next level up had the scissors which I didn't think I would find useful but ended up being used a lot more than I thought I would.
Mine only comes Winter trips. Feels so heavy any other time.
Always wondered about the black tape on your thermometer. You should take it off so we can see how cozy you are ☺️... also love to see bean!
My pocket temp is often around 88º!
I made a pulk out of a black plastic concrete mixing pan I got at home depot. It seems to work well if I wax the bottom. I also still have my Ribz; it's a favorite piece of gear .
I mixed concrete in my Jet Sled....just kidding.
As long as it glides!
I'm 53 years old this video has sparked my imagination beyond anything you've ever done before I love this video.. this should be an introductory into winter camping/survival 101 video. Absolutely the best video you have ever done. I live In Brooklyn Park
Warmth is a good thing. Not sure if you ever saw but I did a whole winter warmth series.....th-cam.com/play/PLahaAdtfX9ZK6TU5lIKtiuDQk48ccHSY-.html
Shut a very good new year to u meg Ariel hickory and the fam. Late. I know hehe not urrrrrly. Peace. N love. All
Many thanks. EARLY
Old pants you found in your yard? Love how you live on the edge.
That dog says “no... really dude?”😂
I truly did. Long time ago.
I always would carry a spare coat to stuff in the bottom of the sleeping bag to wrap my feet in . Like you it's always my feet that suffered although the rest of me was toasty
Touché
BIG THUMBS UP for the inro!
Thankee! Head rush after that roll!
I know it's going to be a good day when I wake up to a new Shug video. I don't know if the company who makes Medaglia d'Oro has ever reached out to you, but I can't be the only nut who was spent too much time trying to find this stuff because of you. They need to replace that centre coat of arms logo of theirs with the Shug logo and bring out a special edition. Keep doing these videos Shug. I know you entertain and educate a lot of people.
Yeah. I agree. Haaaaa~~~~
If it slides and glides, it goes👍
Righto...it slews.
Well Hullo there Bean!!
He yipped a hullo back.
Wooo Buddy
Backatcha....
Thanks.
Y'elcome~~
Next week, balance Bean on your chin! Thanks, Shug. Great video!
Bean opted out~
You were showing us the thermometer at about 5:11 and all my little brain could see was the word 'hell' lol :)
Dirty lil' brain...haaaa
@@shugemery lol :)
I love eating a nice hamburger from the hammock. My idea about hot feet is that they freeze dry and if you have socks they freeze dry and any wetness warms and absorbs and evens
Righto~~!
Table balancing?!?!?!…LOL, but seriously Shug, I’m not into winter camping, although I’m a fellow Minnesotan, but I love your videos and yer gettin’ me pumped for hiking season this summer, hoping to get back to the SHT!
Table had to be done! Spring looms. Well...not yet.
A suggestion:Several years ago I bought one of those legless fold up chairs only because it was on sale at REI for $16. It was a discontinued item that had an extra flap making it tri-fold. I started using it winter camping as a insulated pad on a regular camping chair and that extra flap dangling down also reflects some heat from the fire back on my lower legs. I also discovered if laid out flat in your hammock it becomes another layer of insulation. I also found that it makes a good adjustable back rest in my kayak.....best $16 I have ever spent. ;^)
I have one! Use it at the lake. Well spent.
Hey, thanks for this!
Your assistant has a future in your videos. I don't camp in winter but if I did Id have so much stuff Id be way behind you on the trail.
Nice to be comfortable. Bean steals the show for sure.
Have a look at Selk'bag. You might like their all-in-one wearable sleeping bag. I sometimes wear mine around the house. Looks goofy; feels cozy.
I have seen them...and imagined myself in one. Perhaps!
@@shugemery Worth it. Challenging to take bio-breaks in though. I've actually written to the company and suggested a velcro'd flap arrangement.
I like the regular 54" jet sled. It'll fit a 54 gallon Rubbermaid tote in it. Used mine at BSA OKPIK winter training for lugging my two Arctic Oven tents around to the campsite.
Nice to have the choice.
@@shugemery yep.
Thanks for tip on putting grosgrain on felt liners.Maybe someday I'll get some mukluks but that is something I can do today for my Sorels. I know the saying is overused but it's kind of a ( game changer ) I'm the same age as you and I have struggled with liners my whole life🤪 Now I feel a little stupid🥴 But that's just ONE of the reasons I watch!!! Sincerely
Made getting up to pee soooo much better!
Ol' Bean approved of your gear and then used it for a nest
He sure loves laying up in all that.
That's no pulk fiction!
Wow...that was just laying there waiting for someone to jump on it~~~!!! Haaaaaa
It would be interesting to see the food menu you pack per day.
It is all shown in the trip report from last trip....th-cam.com/video/3j9pVXjnsE4/w-d-xo.html
I tried my first synthetic jacket this year, Eastern Mountain Sports had a pretty good deal. what I do is I take it off and I put it between my under quilt and my hammock I splay it out as flat as I can so it would be behind my back and shoulders and so that one arm would be on each side of my body. this keeps it warm for when I have to put it on, but also ensures that it dries out. so far it's been much better at wicking sweat then my down jacket was. at first I made the mistake of wearing a North face softshell jacket over it, because I could feel the wind through it, but one day I forgot to bring the shell because it was warm in the morning when I left. to my surprise not only was I warm enough at 5° f that evening, but I also didn't get any of the condensation that I was getting between the NF shell and the EMS inner, so I haven't used the shell since.
Wet down....no good!
You are super! Have you ever thought of using battery socks for your feet while you sleep?love my stegars! I delivered the mail for awhile
I never have considered it. Never tried them. Hmmm
Hey Shug. Thanks for the rundown on the gear. As you went through it I sorta laughed at what you said near the beginning of the video about not being an ultra light packer in the winter. Looks like you bring a lot of things with you. I do much the same but to be honest I sometimes find that I can think of scenarios for everything and end up bringing so many things that I don't actually use. Or if I do use them I find it's exhausting. Listening to you mention how you have all these little cases for everything and put so many things in your bag and on your person to keep warm, and have hand warmers in this and that, and shift stuff from bag to bag when in camp etc... Don't you get worn out doing all that? Lol. Thanks for the vids.. I've really enjoyed them over the years.
I find all camping exhausting!...haaa.
@@shugemery Lol. Yeah. The best part is when you get home you have to open up everything in the basement or shop or whatever you have to dry it all out, then repack it all again. :D
You should do a video about you home away from home and everything in it. Would be about two in length I bet.
Think I did.....th-cam.com/video/76DiVyeK4H4/w-d-xo.html
30 minutes of shug talking about pulling his pulk? im in.
Haaa....I edited out 25 minutes of me going on. And on on on....
"I have emptied myself of the horror that lies within me" 😆
Oh, to expunge......
Your zero degree top quilt in below zero temps brought up a question Shug. My subjective take has been that matching the under quilt warmth to the temp keeps me warmer than the top quilt. Of course my cold weather isn’t anything like of Minnie-Soda (California now Texas). What say you?
BTW always look forward to your videos.
Could be...but I think it comes down to the quality and loft and fill on the TQ. The High Sierra Sniveller is a beast!
So much great info. Thanks for sharing! I have found there are times you don't need/want snow shoes on a packed trail. It can be slippery. Do you also carry some sort of yaktrak or other traction for the slippery places? Thanks!!
I usually do brink my Kahtoola ice spikes but did not on this trip. Knew there would be a lot of snow. kahtoola.com/traction/microspikes-footwear-traction/
I bought trukke boots years ago for snowmobiling and they are warm ski doo dealers sold them or they were made by ski doo also like your air planes
I had some of those boots. Prefer mukluks for hiking though. Control line planes...a passion.
@@shugemery cool Im into n-scale trains
Hey Shug great informational vid but I hate to tell ya Bean steals the show
Character Dog actor.
Just watched your linked snowshoe video. Have you tried the traditional shoes with a polk yet with the crampon style binding? I only have a couple pair of traditional shoes (Alaskan style & bearpaw) They tend to slide a bit on the hills. So I try to stay on flat trails with them and since the bearpaws are so short and wide they are more for wooded/off trail roaming. I like the idea of switching out the bindings and putting something with a little grip on them to give me some traction.
Not pulling the pulk on trips with them. Always end up going MSR shoes last minute. I think I may next trip.
Thanks for doing these! Very informative and I am always interested in what you take for a successful trip. I am also 63 and comfort is consistently rising in my priory list. For instance a chair is now never left behind. Nice thing about canoe camping is you can bring it and let the boat carry it…plus you can drift and keep moving although loop trips aren’t practical due to river current.
Good sit man~~!
my boots are quite expensive and they're made by 45 Nrth, they're actually winter cycling boots intended for Sub-Zero bicycle commuting but essentially they're the same thing as your mukluks, but they have aerogel in the soles to prevent heat transmission from your feet to the pedals. however unlike most cycling shoes these are much better for walking, because they don't have a full carbon fiber shank. the offer one version that's good for 0°f and another version that's good for -20°f, I've used both the newer versions have boa closures instead of laces. if I could figure out a way to put boa closures on every shoe I would.
when I get to my hammock I take the liners out and immediately put them into my under quilt. This works much better than letting them freeze. when I put the liners back in I actually put my foot in them to keep them as warm as I can for as long as possible before they make contact with the Frozen outer. I can't put my foot all the way in with the liner on but I put it halfway in and then take my foot out of it and push it the rest of the way in with my hand and then immediately put my foot back in.
just a quick note about aerogel: there's many types that have been designed for different purposes and with different properties and when I was looking for other brands that make gloves with aerogel, I kept running across bad reviews, consistently on many different websites, where the complaint was that it was turning into powder by the end of the season. This did NOT happen with my 45 Nrth gloves or boots, and I've used them for several years
Love a good shoe story!
LMAO with the hannibal lecter, as soon as you pulled it out I was like oh man I hope he does it, and then the screen goes black and white, I laughed so hard. My wife was next to me on the couch, she's like you almost spilled my coffee. I was all fan boy excited, "he said that because of my comment!" She was all "suuuure he did."
Haaaa....Hannibal has popped up in my videos from time to time. But I think you did mention it. So made good Starling.
@@shugemery it totally looked a bit scary in that winter camp with frost all over it. Wooooo buddy!
