I have been watching and admiring your videos for 6-8 years. You inspired me to switch to hammock camping about 6 years ago. You are an inspiration for all to get out and enjoy the outdoors. I live in PA and hope to get up to the BWCA in the next year or two. 66, crushing the trail and rockin and rolling, you go Shug! Whooo Buddy!!
First Soul Coughing and now Rage Against the Machine - I never thought I'd hear you playing either of those, Shug. As always, it's good to see you out in the woods. Thanks for bringing us along. 👍👍
A quick thanks Shug for the shoelace drip line tip, in a many moons ago video. We've been having some wet weather here in the South Island of New Zealand and my hammock was getting damp from water running down the straps. So I took your advice and invested in some flat shoelaces. Cut each one into 4 and attached with a prussic. Whoa buddy Mr!
Happy to see you get out Shug! That lake freezing over must have been so cool to listen to! Hope you enjoy the F1 offseason, next season is going to be pretty exciting. RATM sounding great, I just picked up an envelope pedal to add a little funk to my sound. All the best man! ✌🏼☕️🫛
It was very nice to be there for the freeze. Thankee on the Rage. I'm on a bit of a pedal quest too. I have an envelope type called SeaMoon Funk Machine. Funk it up~~~
@@fimbuloutdoors It is a departure and a break from learning jazz. Never know where this bass guitar will lead me.....Hope you are getting some woods time..
I was so excited to see a new video from MISTAH SHUG this morning. I don’t really love walking inside on the treadmill when winter arrives. But walking with Mistah Shug and the Jonas Brothers is scientifically proven to increase enjoyment levels by a gajillion! Glad you’re doing well, and thanks for the video!
Beautiful trip! I've been out a few nights in the cold (19F),but no snow here yet unfortunately. Love the Superior Gear hammocks in the winter. And a big YAAAAAASSSSSSSS for the play along with RATM. Absolutely love it!
The snow was real nice. Made the walking tough but the beauty made up for that. Thanks the RATM....just got turned onto them and the bass lines got to me.
It sure was a windy weekend when you were out. There's going to be a lot of dead trees down in the woods by spring. 40 mph winds are forecast here in Ely for tomorrow and we have already received a few more inches of snow. Safe travels!
Woo buddy! That's a great trip Shug. We've all had trips were things didn't go quite as planned, but when you have such good company and good food with a warm fire, you're doing all right. I love the superior gear system for winter camping, it's cozy and simple.
Awesome trip, looked like a blast. Some good eating too. Always PoPTart on the breakfast menu. Closing with Rage Against the Machine, Shug on bass. Nice. Thank you for sharing. Take care Shug. 🇺🇲
Was a right goodie for sure. PopTairts in the woods...nostalgia. Fun learning new bass grooves. The bass has led me to rediscovering some of my old growing up music and stuff I never really listened to like RATM. Heavy bass!
I camped at that Becoosin Lake campsite on Nov. 9. I left a nice stack of processed firewood there, and I really hope it was still there for you guys to enjoy. An entertaining adventure to watch, as always!
If I camped in a hammock in the cold like that. I would need my spark plugs, fuel injectors, oil, anit-freeze and transmission fluid changed when I woke up. It would take me awhile to get use to the cold camping like you do.
@@shugemery I live in Pa. It is cold here in the 20's and 30's at times in South Central Pa. I do know about getting climatized. Did it when I lived in Co. years ago. You and yours have a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Years.
@@JeffreyDonaldson-q1dI don’t know. I’m in south Louisiana. An hell theirs times I don’t even like being outside at all. Much less any camping. So I’m not sure about the climatizing. I’m sure it happens to a degree through for sure. Crazy though I worked a decade in a steel mill. An 80 ton batches of Liquid Metal is hot. I’ve had clothes on me smoking more times than I can count an hard hats warping. A countless 12 hour shifts. An even with all that. Not working their just the heat humidity outside. I still don’t like it or want to be in it at times. Didn’t build up any tolerance lol. Hell if anything I could look out the window in the summer an feel the radiant heat through it an about start sweating inside. Heavily rejecting it 😂
Enjoying my quilted Chameleon very much. Nice to have Dutch pushing Danny to continue the innovation. Can't beat the integrated underquilts in the cold of winter.
@@shugemery 20 degree. Figured that would cover most bases, then stack my 3/4 20 degree phoenix if the temps are looking to get saucy. Next purchase is a winter tarp. I do a lot of winter backpacking so it’ll be nice not to fuss with the quilt so much.
Thanks for sharing Shug! I'm impressed by the way you guys embrace the cold and take a zero day on trail. Makes me realize I should take a day off once in awhile to soak it all in instead of always covering miles 😊
Happy New Year to you Shug and everyone who visits here. I would like to thank you all for sharing what you know and for making my Hammocking journey so much fun.
Nice winter trip with the guys. It's neat to see the lake with open water and then freeze over the next days. No more falls Shug! You are still a young man. 💪 Wooooobuddy))))
Great Video! Thanks! A feeling of serenity and joy came through. The glacial erratic hasn’t been erratic for a while. The frosted tarp looked like a Pop Tart! Great work Shug!
I've winter camped before, but can't imagine how hard it would be to keep camera gear warm, operational, and batteries working! Outstanding Shug! Signed: Giannopolis from Kokomo, IN.
Great video! That shot of y’all processing the firewood was fantastic! Nice to see Snowbank getting use. Worked on a trail crew that did some maintenance there about 13 years ago, need to get back out there!
It's a great day when a new Shug video hits the wave lengths! "Thankee" señior Shug! I enjoyed a cup of instant BRCC and a frosted blueberry Pop tart during the vid. I'm jonesing to go camping!! Thx for scratching the itch a little
Thank you Shug and the Jonas Brothers for a first look of winter's backpacking in a hammock for 2024 going to 2025 stay safe see you guys on the flip side one day which is probably going to be never but have yourselves a Merry Christmas a good New Year and a safe holidays for all from Cleveland Ohio
Greeting to Rochester NY. I recall that town. Played War Memorial arena with Ringling. Got my 10 speed bike stolen at Kathays Pagoda Chinese restaurant.
I was looking forward to seeing one of your winter BWCA videos. I am a scout leader in SC and I am the adult leader for a group of scouts that is doing an Okpik weekend at the Northern Tier base in Ely. We are really looking forward to learning some new camping skills, hopefully seeing the Aurora and all kinds of other fun activities. I don't think we have ever been so excited and nervous at the same time!
@@shugemery Thanks for the tips! We bring base layers, liner gloves and hats/face coverings. They provide us with mid layers, outer layers, gloves and Sorel boots. We also bring our own 20 degree bag and they provide us with the rest of our sleep system. We had to buy some new gear, but a lot of the gear used for the cold nights at Philmont overlap with the gear we need to bring for this trek.
A brief synopsis of this video: Shug got up early, had coffee, drove into the frozen wasteland, ate a poptart, more coffee, slept in a hammock, took a dump
"I'm not a faller" ...mentions for the second time having fallen four times yesterday AND links to a Moth Story Slam recording telling about a memorable childhood fall. Lol. We love you, Shug!
Shug - if you're ever looking for a good winter overnight spot - I think Ram Lake would work well off the Gunflint - quick lil 90 rod portage in and you have a few sites, or could go in further too.
Hey Shug good to see you out there with the guys getting some rest,and the morning constitution has to be brutal with all the clothes,really what is the secret and trick to pull that off????😢
No trick to it. Just unzip top layers, drop trousers and go. Sitting on that icy seat actually seems to warm me up somehow...but I think it is just the body working to expel the horror!
Take your PB and J in waxpaper and prop it in front of the fire. It will toast right thru the waxpaper. I did that for lunch every day during the wet summer when I worked in the Alaska woods Surveying the Icefield Hwy N of Juneau for my college job.
Whooobuddy Shugarino!!! I love the Rage at end!!! Heck yeah!!! You play any Alice In Chains? Mike Inez is awesome! Nutshell is an amazing song that illustrates his work.
Shug i just bought myself a heaven tent hammock ill be get back out there this spring sector Rothrock needs secure in PA. ill let you know how it goes in the spring
Man that looks awesome. Was planning on going to itasca this weekend but saw it's actually going to be pretty warm up in Finland so I'm planning on hitting up Manitou park instead. I swear the best sleep I've ever had is in my hammock listening to the rushing Manitou river. Hope to go to the BWCA before summer but I need to get my winter hammocking setup a bit more dialed in
Here's my wife and I, converting degrees F into Celcius, to determine how cold it was. 5 F, minus 32 = -27. add 10% = -30. divide by 2 = -15 Celcius. Good camping weather indeed. Thanks Shug. Always fun.
"Yellow snow around my tarp......I cover it with disgust......Oh my bladder drains itself....But it is a must" Thankee on the Rage. I'm new to RATM but fun bass lines to learn. Got a Fuzz pedal and some distortion. Just plain fun. Thankee.
Orange poop pack changeout was one of my things as well right after I could not find my coyote brown one after an evening constitutional under a civil twilight eve.
That song grabbed me...recommended by drum friend. Fun bass lines to play. Got a Fuzz pedal and some distortion. A real change for me. Not dug in on Les yet.....still time in life.
@@shugemery Im hoping that the OTHER jolly guy brings me my LollyGag Shirt sometime soon. Spring is very slow and I don't do the billboard thing for just anybody. Thank you for ALL that you have shared!!
Looks like an awesome trip that I, personally, would not want to make. Sorry my friend. I am strictly a warm weather camper. Flash forward 6 months, same place, I'm there with you buddy.

It was a very satisfying breakfast for sure. Thankee.
I was just thinking I haven't seen shug in awhile and all of a sudden there you are!!!!!
It was been about two weeks....

As always, it's good to see you out in the woods. Thanks for bringing us along. 👍👍
Haaaa....I never thought I would either. The bass led me there. Love getting turned on to funky bass grooves.
@@shugemery Has bass led you to Mudvayne yet? I would love to see you playing Dig.
@@jrmehle This is the first I've heard of them....haaa. I still have lots to discover.
Wonderful trip with surprise snow! Very cool to see the lake freeze over. Good to see the boys out again! Whhooooo Buuddy!
It was cool to be there for the freeze over. A first for me.
As always, thanks for sharing Shug. Looking forward to my own Superior Gear Snow-Go this Winter in the GSMNP. Counting the days.
Those Superior Gears are great for Winter camping. Hope yours serves you well.

We've been having some wet weather here in the South Island of New Zealand and my hammock was getting damp from water running down the straps. So I took your advice and invested in some flat shoelaces. Cut each one into 4 and attached with a prussic. Whoa buddy Mr!

I just wanted to show me working too....haaaa. I love Snowbank and Disappointment trails.
Looks like a fun time. And you were throwing down on that RATM track.
Thanks a ton. New band for. Super fun bass line!!
Great video, Shug. Good to see you out with your friends. Many years ago, I had Ernie Ball guitar picks. Hi from Farmington Minnesota! Cheers!
Was fun to crack into some Winter. Ernie Ball...good stuff.
Excellent adventure Shug real beautiful scenery with the snow. Thanks for taking us along. Merry Christmas to all 👍🎄🎅

It shows itself. Look for cut logs, slight depression. Whooooo Buddy))))
Never too EARLY! for the SHUG SHOW.

A brief synopsis of this video: Shug got up early, had coffee, drove into the frozen wasteland, ate a poptart, more coffee, slept in a hammock, took a dump
Took 5 dumps to be accurate!!!
And oh! Did he.
Maybe you would prefer to watch a recording of a prostate exam?

Well then.....
I truly envy you. 12 hours sleep, Outdoors, in a hammock, good friends, snow, sipping coffee in the am. Nice….
Oh the long snooze was the whole point of this trip. Rested and bested!!
At 29:45 this rock looks like the top of Frankenstein's monster! Really cool
Rasta Rock~~
My old southern bones are cold today and it’s only 54 degrees! Think I’ll pass on your type of winter camping. But as always, great to see you. ❤
We do acclimate to where we live. It would take me a while to get used to camping in Louisiana humidity and heat!
we only have an inch or so of snow here in VT, nice video thanks for sharing, now I want to go hammock camping
We don't have much either but at least it clung to the trees.
@@shugemery Merry Christmas to you & the family
Congratulations on the new bag for the poop kit. Same old dunny, though. Nice trip. Great snow but not for walking.
Not good walking snow at all. Greasy was what we kept calling it. Had to focus! Orange poop bag for the win!!!
Great seeing you out enjoying the snow , enjoying life. Whoo. Buddy.
Time to get acclimated!

Thanks for the tip! Looked at that lake before but not thought of it for a Winter trip. Have to check and see if Lima Road is plowed for Winter.
❤Nice! Looks Grrreat out there Shug & co.
It was super nice with the snow clinging to the trees Whooooo Buddy))))
Love the Rage at the end there.
Fun learning new bass grooves. The bass has led me to music and stuff I never really listened to like RATM. Heavy bass! Thankee.
And a Rage bass riff at the end!! Nice
Had to learn that riff! Distortion and Big Muff for the Win~~
just saw 100,000 miles a second for the first time. cool little film! cheers.
Thank you for that. It was an enjoyable experience.
Good to see you out. Kind of surprised the lakes aren’t frozen solid yet. I guess it hasn’t been sustained cold below zero.
No...we have barely reached 0º so far.
Thanks!
THANK YOU for that. Very kind of you.

Not good for melting snow for water though. But good if you have water to heat.
Great to see you out in the snow again ❄️⛄️
Thanks for sharing and Stay Strong 💪🏻 my friend…‼️
Whoooooo Buddy))))) Strong as I can.....
Take your PB and J in waxpaper and prop it in front of the fire. It will toast right thru the waxpaper.
I did that for lunch every day during the wet summer when I worked in the Alaska woods Surveying the Icefield Hwy N of Juneau for my college job.
I'll give that a go sometime. But even un-toasted was good eatin'
Damned: A poop pack. That is what I've been missing all these years.
Yeah.......you need to get on the poop pack post-haste.!!!!
Shoveled 3" of powder in Silver Bay this morning. Cold and windy on the shore, winter is here!
Really windy here. Oh yes....Winter has settled in.
@@shugemery Hiked Tettagouche, only person in the park and parking lot. One side benefit of winter.
Whooobuddy Shugarino!!!
I love the Rage at end!!! Heck yeah!!! You play any Alice In Chains? Mike Inez is awesome! Nutshell is an amazing song that illustrates his work.
The bass is leading me to bands and bass lines I'd thought I'd never pursue. Not listened to much Alice in Chains....perhaps it awaits~~~
Shug i just bought myself a heaven tent hammock ill be get back out there this spring sector Rothrock needs secure in PA. ill let you know how it goes in the spring
It is a unique rig the Haven. Easiest hammock type set-up too if you need to go to ground. Enjoy.
Man that looks awesome. Was planning on going to itasca this weekend but saw it's actually going to be pretty warm up in Finland so I'm planning on hitting up Manitou park instead. I swear the best sleep I've ever had is in my hammock listening to the rushing Manitou river.
Hope to go to the BWCA before summer but I need to get my winter hammocking setup a bit more dialed in
Manitou is one of my faves too. That area is tops. Ease on into that winter hammocking. Long nights lead to long snoozola....
You will do as your told to. Thanks for sharing.
I really never do unless it is my idea. Sorry Mom~~~~haaaa
Nice to hear some Rage in your playlist Shug. Great bass lines in that song.
I'm new to RATM but fun bass lines to learn. Got a Fuzz pedal and some distortion. A real change for me. Whoooooo Buddy))))
Here's my wife and I, converting degrees F into Celcius, to determine how cold it was. 5 F, minus 32 = -27. add 10% = -30. divide by 2 = -15 Celcius. Good camping weather indeed. Thanks Shug. Always fun.
Thats about right lol .
I just go to and online conversion chart...since math is my nemesis!
@shugemery your math aversion might be due to that childhood impact of forehead on Grecian marble.
Loved it Shug, thanks.
Thankee Jim....was happy to be out in it.

"Yellow snow around my tarp......I cover it with disgust......Oh my bladder drains itself....But it is a must" Thankee on the Rage. I'm new to RATM but fun bass lines to learn. Got a Fuzz pedal and some distortion. Just plain fun. Thankee.
Shug, I have finally found Madagliadoro Instant Expresso at a store near me here in Missouri. Best coffee I have ever!
It is the easiest to use on trail and WAKE Me UP! Not a bad little brew.
Orange poop pack changeout was one of my things as well right after I could not find my coyote brown one after an evening constitutional under a civil twilight eve.
Night poops......
I live in the country part of central California, and Winter hasn't kicked in yet. I believe we hit 65 for a high today.

oh I wasn't expecting Killing In The Name Of for the closing bass jam... have you delved into any Les Claaypool yet? Surely you must have?
That song grabbed me...recommended by drum friend. Fun bass lines to play. Got a Fuzz pedal and some distortion. A real change for me. Not dug in on Les yet.....still time in life.
In the name. Some how I was expecting you to whip out the 9bar for mornin coffee.
That thing is a might heavy to tote along. But at home it rules for my morning kick~~
Merry Xmas Shug!! Thanks for sharing in 2024. What do you want for Xmas?
Good Tiding to you! I have all I want and Need. Well....I'd like to transport to my young life in 1970s.......
@@shugemery Im hoping that the OTHER jolly guy brings me my LollyGag Shirt sometime soon. Spring is very slow and I don't do the billboard thing for just anybody. Thank you for ALL that you have shared!!

Here's a prayer for peanut butter pop tarts to make a comeback.
I WANT them back for sure!!!!!!!!!
Jonah speaks truth about the color of orange gear
I'm a big fan of Orange~
Looks like an awesome trip that I, personally, would not want to make. Sorry my friend. I am strictly a warm weather camper. Flash forward 6 months, same place, I'm there with you buddy.
Winter....less people. Better view. No bugs. No bears. Gear fun. Bragging rights!!!
