The world is a better place just knowing "The Shug" is still out and about doing his thing! Thanks for sharing your adventures! Give Meg my best! Another jam session is over do! Safe travels...
If someone has never seen or heard of Shug before, I hope... nay, I wish, this is the first video they get to experience him through. He is a joy for the sight and senses, and you have years to go back to watch and love him as all of us do. Plus this video made me laugh when I really needed to. Thank you again Shug! Whooo Buddy!
I'm out camping in Washington state right now, picked up my phone and saw new Shug vid. Im camping while watching you camping... Thanks, great as always.
Thanks Shug, for another great video and letting me live vicariously through it.! You really scared me though when you balanced the Silkie. I remember in older videos you saying how sharp those things were and how careful you needed to be while using. No youtube viewer is worth risking your life over. Please keep safe. I selfishly want you around so I can watch more content 😂
The wife and I really enjoy "watching an old man wake up in the cold"! In fact, when a new video comes up, we have a party. Also you have been a bad influence to my grandsons who now echo "Early!"
I'd been craving some new Shug video, I knew you'd come through. Good to see The Maple King represented on the Thermos. I noticed the bass EARLY in the video and figured it was you playing it. Too cool. I've recently transitioned from Hellman's to Duke's mayo, nice and creamy. You've always been a man of many hats. Always good times and good eatin Shug, thanks for sharing.
Sunkmanitu Tanka Ob Waci! Sunkmanitu Tanka Ob Waci! Dances with Wolves! I am Wind In His Hair. Do you see that I am your friend? Can you see that you will always be my friend? WOOOO BUDDY!
I don’t know why I haven’t seen any of your videos in the past three months-until I just went to your channel and saw that they just weren’t popping up in my feed-a shadow ban maybe?I don’t know,but I’m binge watching what I missed!So happy to see you’re out there bangin away!
Well as they say over and over and over in videos..."Don't forget to subscribe and hit the Notification Bell!!!" Sometime YT has it's own mind. Good to see you.
Shug, your Euell Gibbons sounded like Walter Brennan's Grandpappy Amos from "The Real McCoys". That was a great show! Thanks for hanging out with us! I had my first negative degree hang of the season out in my back yard. Cold snap in southern New England with a -7F temp. and 30-50 mph winds. I used a Hummingbird Hammock single, which I ran through an old Golite Feather-lite bag and used down pants and jacket, fleece and base layers, and a hot water bottle,just to see if I could stay warm. I took a one pound Montbell down thermal sheet bag inside the Golite as a top quilt. No problem with the temperature, but the hammock is a little small. I could've used my Superior Gear -20 hammock, but that would be almost cheating. I will be taking this lightweight set-up on an Appalachian Trail thruhike attempt the end of March, lightening it up as the weather warms. Wish me luck. I turn 70 this July, by the grace of God. Hang in there, buddy!
Wow! I'd go with theSG -20 in those temps for sure. As I aged I abhor sleeping cold. Did it enough through my adventures growing up. Good luck on the Thru...I get using the Hummingbird for that.
"Everything doesn't have to have an outcome, you can do it, just because..." I like this, thanks for sharing, it's something I struggle with as well but think I could benefit in my enjoyment of life if I give this a try more often.
17:10 - Nothing wrong with a Squire, we all start somewhere -- and that model is the most common choice. I started on one, wish I still had it. Welcome to the guitar world.
Last week I got a Stingray Classic RAY24CA. I LOVE it!! so....yesterday I went to visit and play a 2003 Fender American Classic P-Bass. I left the shop and though about all night. It felt amazing and I love that P bass sound and simplicity. This morn I took the Squire and and my first 1996 Gibson F5 mandolin that I don't play anymore as I have a great Northfield mandolin. Traded the Mando and Squire for the Fender P bass even steven. Now I know what more quality bass feel like. Played all day and will tomorrow and the next day. Loving the low end.
There was wisdom, philosophy, inspiration, culinary-tation, some chuckles, some laughs, some humanity, and musicality-better than a ride down the Chocolate River with Old Man Wonka hizzself. I'm going to get packing, load the dog, and drive out to some unnamed canyon where I will see no footprints. Thanks for taking us along Mr. Shug. One for the Greatest Hits list maybe.
Hey Shug, love the video! I moved from Minnesota down to North Carolina near the Linville Gorge. Watched you at the Fair for years and got on to your channel early on. (EARLY!) Now i make hammocks and under quilts for my friends and backpack as much as i can. Thanks for all the inspiration over the years! You're always welcome at my fire!
Good evening Shugg Glad to see that you're out and about and yes -25° below zero is quite chilly Stay warm pulling that pork or polk however you want to figure it out Not to mention Blue skies and a very icy lake hey you can just simply walk and save a lot of time if it's fully frozen if not it's going to be a quite cold shock to the system Stay safe all secure in this sector 7
I've been enjoying your videos for about a year now. I am 61 yrs old and you have inspired me to get back into winter camping. In fact in two days I will be doing my first winter hammock hang. Thanks Shug!
This worlds tends to focus on Summerville. Like a downer friend. I like to look at good otherwise I may have no joy. A clown thing. Be in control of you.
@@shugemery Never doubted your resilience for a moment. Didn't you make some of your own once or was that a pipe dream? Still makes me very happy to see a new Shug video has been posted. My best to Hickory and The M/K if he is around. Meg must be a wonderful woman to put up with you the way she does. Nah, just kidding you. Thanks again for the laughs. We depressives need all we can get. Peace.
Doing my first cold winter solo hammock camp on Friday! Thanks for everything you’ve posted. I learned a lot. It’s supposed to go down to 5-9 degrees F. Whoo Buddyyyyy!
Always a great watch Shug 👍. I don't know how you do it in that cold my friend it's beautiful. I know you have really great gear as well which helps 2 thumbs up for effort. Be safe my friend ✌️
Long winter. I'm forced to cold camp or no camping at all. I do kinda love it but I tell my wife that I never stop working doing it other than when I'm sleeping.
Always a pleasure Captain Shug! The Spliggamandoodah of the bass was as spank snappy as a Seinfeld episode! Thanks for yet another wonderful trip in the snowy snow snow!
Thanks for sharing Shug. When you held the saw point down over your face and gave us the disclaimer "this is probably stupid". I though you had flipped out and was going to attempt to swallow the saw like a sword. What a great trip.
Pineapple pizza AND tomato bisque soup for dinners in the super cold…you’re the man Shug! Love watching your vids with a smile-always something to learn!
Hello from the land of Duke's, my cyber-friend! Always enjoy your videos! I'm one of those old men who likes to watch other old men (ok, just one old man) wake up in the cold (and hear their observations). All about that bass! Cheers to Meg, sure she enjoyed a few days apart to let the heart grow fonder. Whoo Buddy! Namaste!
Loved it. Just looking up the lake on Maps & seeing how remote that is... awesome. Even though others passed by, it's got to be as peaceful as it gets. "Serene". Cheers Shug 👍
Thanks to Shug,just watched this,wish I could take the cold like you do!The air is so crisp and invigorating. Always looking forward to your next video
That was another Shugadelic winter camping episode. 👍 Loved that bass part from Steely Dan. Maybe there was (somewhat of) an outcome already: us cyberfriends listening to your mini perfomance. 😉
The world is a better place just knowing "The Shug" is still out and about doing his thing! Thanks for sharing your adventures! Give Meg my best! Another jam session is over do! Safe travels...
I will pass that on. Been playing alone more than jamming with friends. It is such a marriage.
Yes sirrr!! 🙌🏽
My inspiration 😎
Keep Shugging Shug! 🤘🏾⛺️🤩
If someone has never seen or heard of Shug before, I hope... nay, I wish, this is the first video they get to experience him through. He is a joy for the sight and senses, and you have years to go back to watch and love him as all of us do. Plus this video made me laugh when I really needed to. Thank you again Shug! Whooo Buddy!
Appreciate the good and fine sentiments.
Always…ALWAYS a joy watching a Shug adventure. Thank you for that.
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Not much else will stack rounds like a Silky, except a chainsaw. Hell of a good tool! Looks like a fun adventure!!
Oh they are a sweet and biting saw for sure.
Hey Shug, I always enjoy your videos, especially your winter ones. I love the squeaky snow! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
When that snow squeaks the trip is really good. Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Love Shuugs vids!!! Always great! Thank you!
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Life is a lot better when your doing your thing
Life is better when we all do our righteous thang.
What a magical experience solo winter camping in the BWCA must be. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.
It truly is. Vast and peaceful.
Always enjoyable Sir!! Thanks, enjoy your weekend.
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Thanks, Shug. I love your trip videos.
Thankee and Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Love Steely Dan, thanks for throwing that in there.
Appreciate that. Chuck Rainey laid down some groovy bass lines...
I'm out camping in Washington state right now, picked up my phone and saw new Shug vid. Im camping while watching you camping... Thanks, great as always.
We are concurrent! Enjoy your trip.
Another great video Shug! You are truly an inspiration….👍
Thankee and Whoooooo Buddy)))))

I remember in older videos you saying how sharp those things were and how careful you needed to be while using. No youtube viewer is worth risking your life over. Please keep safe. I selfishly want you around so I can watch more content 😂
It would have just added a good scar but not death. We do these things to the horror or joy of others. The introverts nature.
Love the Steely Dan play-along...made me smile
Thankee. Need to re-visit that tune.
Great video as always Shug. Stay safe Buddy. 😎
Whoooooo Buddy))))) Felt safe.
LOVE your solo treks!!! Every single one is absolutely wonderful!! Thanks, Shug!!
Whooooo Buddy))))
Thanks for bringing us along. Looks like you had a lot of fun👍
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Thanks for sharing Shug. You are an amazing person
I only show my good stuff. The rest of me is below average and marginal~~~~
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
It is my calling card~~~
The wife and I really enjoy "watching an old man wake up in the cold"! In fact, when a new video comes up, we have a party.
Also you have been a bad influence to my grandsons who now echo "Early!"
Party people!
This is quality entertainment. Thanks for braving the elements and making great content. Keep it up!
Thankee~~
At home in my spare bag as it's cold, watching shug be his merry self. Enjoy watching your videos before bed, keep making them please 🙏
Cozy up. I'll make videos as long as my heart is into it. Still got some left. Whoooooo Buddy)))))

That part alway gave me hot eyes.....
I applauded in my living room! The cats looked at me funny.
Thanks you. Did the cat take a bow?
@@shugemery they did not. How rude!
Thank you for sharing your adventure! Cheers!
Whooooo Buddy))))
The One ! The Only ! The LEGEND !

@@shugemery I’ve always been a subscriber-that’s what didn’t make sense-always hit the thumbs up too.
Been weird on my end as well. Many comments I can't read. Blank. Have to go check on my phone. Hmmmmmmpppphhhh Thanks for being a thumbs-upper!!
Good lookin' hang-bag there Shug. Good food and a warm fire, and cozy snoozing. Life's good.
Life was mighty mighty out there. Relaxed my tight jaw.
Happy Birthday Laney!
Thank you! Grandma T will tell her!
CAKE!
Wonderful video! Thank you for giving me such pleasure! Keep it up!
Yessir. Whooooo Buddy))))
I love Hegman and North Hegman and the pictographs!
And easy to get too~
It would be a true friend that would go camping with you when it is -25 degrees.
Or crazy desperate person wanting to get away from the real world~
23:58 bravo 👏 😊 good to see another winter hang! Woo buddy
I am a huge ham~~!!!!
Shug, your Euell Gibbons sounded like Walter Brennan's Grandpappy Amos from "The Real McCoys". That was a great show!
Thanks for hanging out with us!

Great video Shug. Good camp, hang, and food😊 Take care. 😊
Good time for sure. Thankee Quinn.
Once again, enjoying my morning coffee while watching Shug enjoy his. Thanks for taking us along! WB!
Coffee on! Me too.
"Everything doesn't have to have an outcome, you can do it, just because..."
I like this, thanks for sharing, it's something I struggle with as well but think I could benefit in my enjoyment of life if I give this a try more often.
It takes some time to work into the no outcome thing but it is taking. Just do....just cause. Even be bad at it but as long as it is fun.
Always enjoy your videos!!! Thanks for doing them!!!😄
Well thankee for that.
Love your closing statement/toast from the hammock. ❤. Much love brother, thanks 🙏
Thanks for that. Glad you felt it.

Pleasure is all mine.
Love the hat combination system and the bass sounds great! Food is always the best on winter trips. Here’s to you too Shug ☕️ ❄️ ✌🏼
Glad you do. Thankee on the bass. Will be playing it today all day.
Nice hearing Hey Nineteen on you new base. One of my old time Steely Dan favorites. Love cranking that one way up!
Thankee. It was actually "Josie" but I'm going tp learn Hey Nineteen.
Hey Shug, love the video! I moved from Minnesota down to North Carolina near the Linville Gorge. Watched you at the Fair for years and got on to your channel early on. (EARLY!)

Hey Billy Bob. I am loving the SG.
So thankful for your videos and commentary. I am literally crying laughing at some of your parts. Cheers to you sir!
Thanks Nick. I was feeling zippy out there.
Thanks. Always a pleasure. A base line ode to the lost peanut butter chocolate pep tert would be nice.

Thankee...I've gone all in on the bass~
Nothing like a good old fashioned motel! That one looked like it had nice northern woods charm
It was. And clean. Felt good.
Great song
Thankee.
Thanks for sharing Shug. When you held the saw point down over your face and gave us the disclaimer "this is probably stupid". I though you had flipped out and was going to attempt to swallow the saw like a sword. What a great trip.
Worked o sword stalling once. Gag factor made me give it up....
That looks so cozy.
Ever-so snug
Always a pleasure sir. Thank u
Whooooo Buddy))))

Loved it. Just looking up the lake on Maps & seeing how remote that is... awesome.
Even though others passed by, it's got to be as peaceful as it gets. "Serene".
Cheers Shug 👍
This lake is fairly easy to access. Last minute trip. Thus....
Love the positive energy my dude! Keep your stick on the ice.
Thankee. I got my tongue on the ice too~
Your enthusiasm shines through in this vid shug. Kinda rubs off. Makes for a better more positive day. Thanks for that. I will pass it on. Ian

It does make you feel alive and vigilant!
This winter I'm going to try it in my hammock
Shuge, you’ve inspired me. I’m 60 years old turning on 61 and I let a few setbacks slow me down. Whooo buddy, I’m back in action now!
The woods await your return!
You the man bro you the man Thanks for sharing.
Thanks bro man dude guy.
That was another Shugadelic winter camping episode. 👍 Loved that bass part from Steely Dan. Maybe there was (somewhat of) an outcome already: us cyberfriends listening to your mini perfomance. 😉
