    Good to see you in the Northeast - land of up/down/up, rock, roots and mud! Not always a ton of fun, but certainly some nice scenery and sense of accomplishment.

    You fellers are to be commended for your trail maintenance. Nice of someone to position the large fans to keep y'all from being overheated on your jaunt in the woods. Thanks for the Crazyness!

    Love your videos, as do my kids. My boy often says, "Shug always seems like a happy guy." Thank you for your sacrifice in making these videos. I got the Superfly tarp and love it, and just ordered the WB BB XLC hammock. Looking forward to using that this winter here in north western NC. I grew up in the iron range in northern MN for the first 23 yrs of my life, and man do I miss the snow and cold.

    • @shugemery

    I'd like to think I know good theater when I see it, and I must admit, this part's edit was 'par excellence'. The interspersed solo mandolin accompaniment blended with the scene's conclusion showing the surreal blue tubes and a dramatic appearance His Royal Magesty, 'Acer regem' (Latin for Maple King) was a 'coup de dramatique'. The ultimate comedic element for this episode was the spontaneous "escaping life" remark and the admonishment from Hannah (Hahnah.) A refreshing cerebral Cinema Noir departure from the hilarity of slapstick alone. This IS the soul of Vermont without Thorazine. Hoorah & huzzah! 👍👍👍👍👍
    Cudos to Kent for developing the character to a frighteningly authentic denizen of the Sugarwoods,(or should I say Shug-ah-woods).

      Fred Thorne u took the words right out of my mouth brother... only I'm an Aussie and we are far more feral so my words were less fancy like but same same lol 😂

    • @fredthorne9692
      @fredthorne9692 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tully And Tulu - Well I better put those words right back where I found them. If you've ever been to the hinterlands the far North Eastern US (e.g. Northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and practically all of Maine, there is some sort of New England juju going on. Wonderful people, lovely mountains, but some unseen , indescribable "thing" happening.
      If it's any consolation, I would love to understand the mythical language and mind set of "Strile" in OZ. I will even risk being cliché by admitting, despite what my fellow countrymen/women might think, that I love Vegemite and Bega. It is heavenly. Forgive my brashness, but the US is having some very strange times. Life in "La-La Land."

    • @traceandtulu6130
      @traceandtulu6130 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I bow to your rendition of Crazy and think it mighty apt (especially for the Maple King who seems a few branches short of a tree or maybe partaken of a bit to much maple spirits?)

      I'm still concerned that the hat is birch bark and not of the Maple Family. We have a very confused King.
