Caribou Rock Trail BWCA Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ค. 2018
- Got caught up and some show prep and chores and carved a couple days out to get back up the the Caribou Rock Trail that runs North up to the Border Route Trail and Stairway Portage in the BWCA.
Been wanting to see it since the big storm blew through 2 or 3 years ago.
This is a 4 mile (more or less) trail but takes me 4 hours (or more) to do. Granted there are so many great views of Hungry Jack, Moss, Duncan and Rose Lake. Plus the falls at Stairway Portage.
Fun trail to do on a two night out and back....
Has everything a right goodie of a trail needs.
Carried my new ULA FastPack that I bought recently....www.ula-equipment.com/product...
Slept in a new TQ I just bought from JacksRBetter. The Sierra Stealth...www.jacksrbetter.com/shop/sier...
Was warmed underneath from the new Summer Underquilt I purchased from Wilderness Logics....wildernesslogics.com/SSUQ-SUM...
Used my WarbonnetMiniFly silpoly tarp.
Fancee feest alcohol stove.
Had a FANTASTIC time~~~~
Whoooooooooooooo Buddy)))))))
Shug
Sometime in the 85 to 89 years we rented a cabin on Flour lake... I took the canoe up to Bearskin to fish and paddled to Duncan portage and walked half way to stair step portage... Ran into something large moving in the woods, never did identify what it was, probably a Beaver.. LOL.. I was on Lake One over east of Ely and thought a Moose was coming out of the woods and it was a beaver dragging a large limb it had harvested.... LOL.... Love your videos brings back good memories!!!!!!!
Glad they evoke those good beaver memories.
You're on the ball referencing the smells of the trail and nature. 👍👌 If you're only lookin' and not smellin', a full experience is not had.
Smells in the woods are the things that wake up my senses.
Serape! Lots of smiles watching this. Thanks, Shug.
Fun to say and fun to wear!
Dust in the Wind? That was friggin' excellent! Nice hike too...
I feel like dust out there...in the wind.
‘New pack alert, new pack alert’!!! Loads of new stuff there Shug my man.....can’t wait for part deux mon amie..👍😎
I am good to myself...to hard-working me!
shugemery and why not you work hard a man needs to treat himself.
Shug, I'm dutifully taking notes on your thru hikes. Amassing volumes of data on gear, techniques and in general how to be like you. Still trying to figure out the copious sweating part...lol
Great video. You bring much joy and encouragement to many people. Thank you much,
Scott
The sweating is easy.
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Great I was on my way to bed. You know I can't sleep if I know there's a new video to watch. Thanks Shug!
Off to bed for me...so tire!
I love the woody smells too. One of my favorite things about hiking. Nice new pack.
The smells are the best. The sun hitting the pines! AWESOME.
I found your channel about a week ago. Love it. Great job. I am making my way through your library as I work...
Haaa......so, not getting much work done then?
Love it. Whoooooo Buddy))))
@@shugemery that's a fact.
Hurt the feelings of the mosquito but didn't depress them...... complete failure with no depression. Awesome to see you out and about again Shug. Think of you often as I cross the old Circus Bridge where you went to clown college. Summer is waning here and good camping weather is ahead I hope. Be well and keep on keeping on. Wooooooo buddddddy
Thanks for the Venice thoughts. I dwell there often in my head and soooo miss it all.
Been a while, was wondering when a new shug adventure would appear.
Please don't stop hiking shug. You bring joy to the world.
Only been a month since my last hike...and this is my busy season!!! Gotta be an "earner" sometimes.
shugemery well it feels a lot longer.
I've watched your shows on TH-cam, wish you would tour in the UK. Would love to meet you and have a good chat over a cup of coffee.
Thanks shug.
And some jellied eels!
I watched this just before bed. Such an enjoyable video! Looks like a great experience (so far), and I eagerly anticipate the next installment. Well done as usual, sir... Many thanks, Chris AKA kitsapcowboy
I appreciate it. Looking forward to hearing you on the HYOH podcast.
Thanks for sharing those great scenes. Good to see you get out during your busy summer. Be well.
Time showed itself so off I went. Thanks.
Wow, it looks stunning there. I've watched a fair few videos of yours, this is my favourite so far. Good work sir! Received my chameleon hammock from Dutchware last week and spent my first night in it on Saturday, sooooooooooo comfortable! I'm going to spend more nights sleeping in the garden than the house!
Really enjoy your videos, thank you for posting so regularly.
Good practice to lollygag in the garden.
We just missed you. My son and I just came back from a 9 day trip (Bearskin, Duncan, Rose, Rat, South). I will be following in your [trail] footsteps this autumn. Beautiful, beautiful area.
I saw you but you did not see me!....Shug the Voyeur!
Just kidding. Sound like a great route.
shugemery. Ha. You probably saw us (my teenage son and I paddle a Bell Northwoods. As a sidenote, we ran into a guy over on the rat Lake portage - he guides - who asked, “Didn’t I see you guys last year about the same time?” We remembered him, too. We met and chatted near Monument Portage heading into Saganaga. It can be a small world, sometimes.). In your second video - around the 17 minute mark - you zoomed out to film a trio in a canoe; we chatted with them on the portage trail. Then, on Duncan, all of the sites looked occupied, so we stayed at the last site on the west end. And, it may have actually been us you heard chopping wood. We use twig stoves (Silverfire Scouts; a former Force Recon Marine in Oregon makes them), and we also make camp fires, so we process a fair amount of wood. Well, one of these days, we’ll probably bump into each other.
Great "Dust in the wind" closer. Keep'em coming Shug!
Whooooo Buddy))))
Thank you for putting a smile on my face shug. My house and hammocks burned up in the carr fire in Redding CA last Thursday. Can't wait to get back out in the woods.
Nature can be Cruel. Been tough out there. Hang tough.
Sorry for you loss
Will do. Thank you
Matt schjoth - Keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers. Much sadness over your loss.
The Lord of Lollygag lives. You made my Monday. Good to see you out for a stroll on an old friend.
I humped but did get some ample lollygag in. Thankee.
Thanks for the new video and continuing inspiration. Looking forward to part two.
Still buzzing fro that walk!
I wasn’t watching for a second and I thought the video froze because of the silence!👌🏻 amazing!!
A rare moment!
Beautiful view. Awesome hike Shug. Thanks for sharing the trip with us. ATB!
It truly is an amazing place.
Shug... you make me think of an unhairy, unblurry bigfoot, only smaller... You ARE the man Shug
S'quatch is my cousin once removed//////
That view overlooking the lake was so beautiful it almost didnt look real
So many wonderful views on this walk.
Watched this last night before turning in and as always was right there with ya pal. Looking forward to Part 2! Looks like a beautiful hike for sure!
I was having Gorge thought on the trail. Some feels like some of it. Hope your well. Miss the old days.
You’re an inspiration.Im a backpacker as well,and a ton of your tips and tricks have found their way into my OHM,and my favorite food is Packit Gourmet-because you turned me on to it.Just love that you are truly an outdoorsman and take us along when we can’t be out there.
I love it!
Beautiful points of view on the lake! Wow!
Very much so.
Oh my goodness, I actually laughed when you said your toenails were suspicious. You sir bring joy to the viewer. Thank you.
Haaaa....I kinda did too in editing. Forgot I said that!
I love the BWCA! i haven't been there in ages but it's so magical.
It truly is.
Love the camp tour on this one Shug!
Well thank ya'.
Man Shug, that shot of the green trees against that brilliant blue shy has always made any hike worth it a thousand times over. Great vid!
It was vivid out there.
Awesome video, great trip! Cadbury twirl...love em. Hiked along Kadunce last weekend, my first time for that trail. Not hardcore, but gorgeous. Love your trips and getting more SHT ideas from you... Love ya Shug!
I so love the Twirls. Glad you got a hike in.
Glad to see they finally let you out to play Shug. Sure do hope you don't sleep walk though. You don't need to find yourself on the end of a rude awakening. That first step in particular is a doozy. 😃
Would been quite a tumble. I practice exiting tarp from end to pee spot.
You mentioned the storm from two years ago. My son was there during the storm, with a troop from Ohio. He has a little PTSD about going back. He wound up coming off the lake because the storm damaged his tent. Nice Vid.
I have seen all the downed trees from that storm. Must of been a bit scary for him. No shame in bailing if you can do it safely.
"Lake Duncan - Famous For Its Donuts!" 😀
Thank you, beautiful video.
I dipped my coffee in the Duncan Lake. Reverse technique.
I dig the socks, Shug. You know those sketchy toenails were going to ruin them anyway.
Durn tootin'
You earned it shug! Delicious it all it’s eye popping sweet silence. Thanks for going back...I gotta finish my promise get back up there. Water looks so inviting...
I did swim and it was perfect. Everything awaits you there.....
You're runway ready with the serape amigo 👍
Thanks for sharing
Trail Days here I come.
Good to see you in a new vid Shug! Love the rendition of Dust In The Wind, too!
Thanks and thankee.
Started the morning with a cup of Medaglia Doro and a Shug video. True story!
Dust in the wind on a mandolin? Absofreakinglutely! You should record an album. I'd buy it!
Thankee. All I got is my soundcloud stuff.....soundcloud.com/you/sets
shugemery It looks like correct link: m.soundcloud.com/seanemery2/sets/turkey-mountain-jammin and m.soundcloud.com/seanemery2/sets/shugs-jams
Whooo Budday! Can't wait to see your show at the MN State Fair coming up! I paddled into Partridge lake a few years back (right after the storms you discussed, we could barely find the site with all of the blowdown) and loved the section of the Border Route we hiked around there - I need to get back.
I want to go back and do the loop...Caribou to Border West down South Lake Trail across Moss Lake Trail back to Caribou.
Sounds like an awesome idea - Hoping to get up there this fall and bum around for a bit
Nice work Shug! Hope you have a great rest of your show season !
Thankee.
Hey Shug! I’m halfway through the video, and will watch the rest on my lunch. Glad to see you out there again and using some different equipment. So far, loving the views and info, can’t wait to see the rest.
Bon appétit~~~~
G'day from Australia! Thank you for the videos, I'm originally from Minnesota but have been overseas for three years. Your videos remind me of home and have allowed me to live vicariously through you until I am able to return. As they say here, you're a fair dinkum legend mate. Love the videos!
Fair dinkum.....I was in Australia working a cruise ship in 1994. Amazing down there.
Kansas on a mandolin. Beautiful!
Thanks. Had to learn it.
Awesome views, nice hang... This was very entertaining... I can't wait for part 2. Thanks for sharing.
I thankee. What a hang spot for sure.
Absolutely love and miss the BWCA! Thank you SO much for posting these videos. They take me back to my happy place. :)
It is Glorious. Everytime I go I am stunned by the glory.
Love that you didn’t give up on your favorite site Shug. That big tree seemed solid and that springy spruce looked like it added a relaxing rockabye baby feel to the hammock.
Must have walked back to it ten times. I aimed to make it work.
Looks beautiful.
So was. Smells fantastic as well.
Just when I start to feel sorry for ole shug having to work a bunch hes out having some fun. Cool video.
I make time to go....always planning.....
Living vicariously through you! Dust in the wind, loved it!!
Thanks and thankee.
Beautiful, beautiful trail Shug!! Thank you!!!!!!!
Video does not do it justice. The smell up there...so clean.
Nice scenery, I enjoyed the video, as always. I wish I had a nice new lightweight pack. This looks like a great area. Thanks for the video.
It is nice but the ULA OHM is my favorite.
Shug, you just made me order that MSR filter! Great trip, thanks for sharing. Next time your in Australia, please come hiking with us! My area is alpine, cold and some snow in winter, nice and warm in summer.
I sure would love too. Was there in 1994 working a cruise ship. Loved it!
Cool seeing your new gear. Whoo buddy. Daughter an i will be hanging in our hammock again this weekend, cant wait.
Good to hear that. Bond while you can!
Love this trail with the overlooks and the hills and soft BWCA forest floor in some areas...I can smell the spruce and pine and fir and arm pits all the from Tennessee!!!
Whoo buddy Shug!
All the smells! 5 star trail.
Nice little dust in the wind
Appreciate that.
I still recall seeing one of your old videos from that exact camp where you are sitting down at dusk taking in the view and say “this’ll do a feller some good”. Since seeing that video a couple years ago I cant tell you how many times I have been in some especially peaceful moments in the outdoors and I say to myself “this’ll do a feller some good”...such a fitting quote and probably my favorite Shug line of them all! Great to see you back at that exact same spot soaking it all in. All the best buddy! Tim - Portland, OR
This trip did this feller some good...again. Always does. I like to re-visit a spot. Funny how much I don't remember.
Loved it Shug. Was there myself years ago via canoe & trail. I know that portage you hung at. Thanks. Terry&thepirates
It is a highlight. Lots of folks canoe there and knock around and leave. Quiet by 4 pm. Lots of youth there.
Great stuff brother.
Thanks for the video
I loved it!
Hi ya Shug! Good to see you out and about. Thanks for showing us some new gear and taking us along. No waist belt? Huh? I'm not sure how I feel about that. CRT is on my short list. That drive up the Gunflint is a haul but looks worth it. Ok, buh bye.
I did not miss the waistbelt at all. As long as the load is light. I felt free. It is a drive but I want to buy property up there someday and keep home here too.
I missed you Shug-I have been waiting for a new backpacking video and you never disappoint!
Only been a month since my last trip. Had to go be an "earner."
All we are is dust in the wind. Classic ending to another gem of a video!!!
Shug you make awesome videos thank you for showing always looking forward to seeing one of your vids
Thank you so much for the nice words.
That area looks so cool..lake views are the best..i watched a couple canoe trip videos of out there ..good stuff shuggy
Too true. We got some good ones here in MN.
Great vid Shug, I bought my Dream Hammock Raven after watching your review... I love it
Hope you get good sleep in it!
This vid is just right! Beautiful area, cool new gear, and some Kansas on the mandolin for dessert! Woo buddy!!
A 5 star trail for sure.
Very Good part 1 Shug! Interesting dual use top quilt 👍 You did a very good job showing what gear you used for this trip.
Thankee feller.
Ok I must have missed your recent because all your videos were fairly old. It’s nice to see you out hiking. You gotts me thunkin it’s time to get my chores done and go. I am in the lowcountry of SC so no mountains but still miles of trails.
I hike when I can and make time but do have a life as well that keeps me from living in the woods. Thankee.
Nice vid Shug! I have been wanting to get up there in August sometime...doing the Angleworm in September. Thanks for sharing. Great job as usual...Peace.
You'll really like that trail!
I am jealous! I have not been able to get out for the year yet, this will change in a couple of weeks, but wow, that is some beautiful country that you were backpacking!! By the way, great rendition of "Dust in the Wind"!
Great Vid Shug...man them trails look awesome and the views to die for..loving the new gear..i'm one jealous guy !!..
Still wearing that trip.
As always nothing but love Shug!
Thankee!
I was in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area all week long last week and the mosquitoes were mighty fierce up there!
Did you not bring bug defense?!
shugemery we brought permitherin and deet and head nets to defeat the enemy but a few dedicated individuals still made it through our defenses.
Hey "Shag" thanks for the great video 😉 Watch out for the cliff ...
I was vigilant.
I just wanted to drop you a line that while climbing Mt Whitney I met another Shug fan. He was wearing a Superior Trail Hat and we struck up a conversation about that trail and other trails we've each done. One thing lead to another and we found out that we both enjoy your videos. Great work to bring hikers together.
That is amazing...thanks for telling me.
Thanks Shug! You’ve been an inspiration as well as the reason my first hammock over nighters were pleasant and not cold or uncomfortable! Also your sport gives me hope! I won’t bore you with ask my problems but you’ve really helped me so thank you! I’d love to do a hang with you sometime! Thank you!
Enjoy that hammock groove.
I was on the Sioux-Hustler during that storm. It was impressive. Not so much the wind where I was but the hail, lightning and rain. I was sad to hear of the deaths when I was driving home the next day. I believe they got caught on the portage. Very sad.
Must have been wild!
Great Video...thank you for sharing
Righto Cuz.
Glad to see your on the trail again! Can't wait for your performance season to be over, need more Shug!
Well....I get shoulder surgery September 5th after MN State Fair so that will cramp my Fall trips....arrrrggghhhh.
Not sure what shape I'll be in.
Shugemery, well, outdoors is good medicine, but you can't beat rest. I hope you have a swift recovery, buddy! You should drop an after surgery video! Lolz.
I will! Be all drugged up and stuff. Might make me quiet.
You made my day! Thanks for the video, Shug!
Y'elcome and thanks.
When will we see next vid? How cold did it get at night and did the new under quilt perform?
Pretty soon.....I am on the road now.
Got to about 55º at night. All gear did it's job though I would not push it below 45º to 40º
I just got the OneWind tip quilt and it is convertible as well such a good piece of kit
I bought the Trailshot about 3 weeks ago, took it on a 4 day hike and absolutly love it. Watch the prefilter though, it comes unscrewed easily, and if you lose that it holds no back pressure and you can't pump any water.
I'll be vigilant.
Wait. You just said you will be at the WI State Fair. OMG, that starts today! YOU are on the schedule! I'll be seeing you at 5pm, sir!
For sure. Look forward to meeting you.
So excited when I see a shug notification! Great video Sean.
Always my pleasure to play and show.....
We almost came to see you last year at the MN state fair when we got done with the SHT thru hike. But it was raining pretty bad.
2.00 That really is a THHspecktacleaerr view , goodness gracious that's good viewing .
For sure it was.
Dual use is the name of the game for sure, i like that pack super light and just enough room for jellied ells and tinned meat.....maybe....whoooo buddy............
Can even slip a Flake and some Smarties in there.
Great video Shug! I have Marty's summer set top and under quilts. things work great I have had them down to 30 degrees.
Good stuff and quick to get it to you.
@@shugemery sure right! Also helps I live about 30 minutes from his shop.
Hello Shug! Good to see you! It's been a long time your just as lovely as used to be🤣. Great video!!!
Haaaa...thanks....I think.
I like a pack with a waist belt, just for the stability... But i like the new pack... Great video as always SHUG
I did not miss the hip-belt at all. It does have a strap across the midsection you can snug if needed. Did not use it.
A little Kansas - Dust In The Wind. Loved that band. Nice Tensahedron stand. I made mine out of 2x4’s cause it just does backyard duty.
I like that stand. Will be good for those state park car sites that want you on the tent pad..."do not deviate from the tent pad!"
Yea. I have those type of issues with my toes. I don't get blisters from the skin rubbing off. Sometimes I get the pressure point sores on my toes from my toes pushing up against my boot. Band aids work well.
A bad toe can mar the day!
Beautiful place, and I'm digging the Kansas! :-)
Watched the Kansas documentary and had to learn that break. They were my secret listen in College. It was the fiddle that got to me.
I love the pack!! It would be awesome to see a review on it!
May some day.
man, that's my kinda campsite! looks like a really fun trip. WLssUQ rocks! cool stuff!
Sent me a free hat........I know you like Marty's gear.
Nice view to sleep. I like the water filter.
So far so good on that filter. Pumped well. Got to get down low to drink though.
Laughed out loud when you sang, “Serape!”
Had to be sung.
@ 19:38 you missed an early, EARLY! lol. Looked like a great trip, got me ready to wanna do an overnighter real soon. Always fun to test out new gear. I started a comment and kind of added on to it as the video progressed you might have noticed.
The beauty is to leave some earlies open for others to shout EARLY. That is what Hickery and I do.
Great vid as usual old buddy. I might have to try that msr filter.
It is pretty nice. More use will tell the tale.
OoooooooWeeeee I lika your new packa. It is named well! Looks simple and fast, my cup of tea.
You gave me a "whoa nelly" when I saw how close the cliff was to your bunk that night. Great view!
I've got a 3 nighter coming up real fast. It would be great if you could get part 2 up by Thursday morn, you know because this channel revolves around my schedule ; )
All secure and wooo buddy
I will try for sure James. I did not miss a hip-belt at all.
I was vigilant not to go strolling off the cliff. It was high...hard to see that on video.
OK...just for you! th-cam.com/video/uecxMmhXBII/w-d-xo.html
Hey Shug, my local Walmart in Mississippi has just restocked peanut butter “Pap Tairts”!!! Thought you’d like to know. If you can’t get them, let me know. Maybe I can send you some, Just as a way of saying thank you for the joy you bring to all of us. By the way, LOVE your videos!
Thankee....I got a good supply. Appreciate it.
