I wanted to thank you shug for your videos. They have inspired this 55 plus y.o guy and transformed this tent guy to a permanent hanger. I'll never go back! Oh, one more thing, my wife loves your voice!
WOW SHUG!!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking us back to the gorge!!!!! When you and Kent hit the bottom of the pin chin, I said wait a minute.... I know this spot!!!!! Great to see Kent, glad you are having fun bro!! You worked hard for it!!! Good to see the knee is holdin up, WHOOOOOOO BUDDY!!!!!!!!
I think the Linville Gorge is my favorite out of all the trails you hike or Maybe that it always means the return of the Hickery Brothers, either ither way "Enjoyed very much :)) Mighty good pickin' and singing too, Thanks
I was just poking around on the youtube looking at gear reviews and peoples trips, and just loved your video's of these gorge trips. Thank you for taking the time and effort to document your trips. You and Hick seem like a blast to hang out with. I hope to make it down to the Linville Gorge soon.
just a shout out to you shug,, received my two t-shirts from ya,, love them thanks for doing that.. p.s heading up to Canada this September for a two week canoe trip threw Algonquin park,, going in September 1st to the 14th cant wait to hang in Canada oh and i will wear the t shirt and video the shug in ca.
Hey Shug have a question about Fuel bottles im playing around with switching to alcohol i got me a Venom from woodgaz stoves. were do you carry your plastic bottles mine want fit in my pot i got a 10cm imusa from minibulldesign i like the size but the bottles want fit. its to short. Anyway thanks for the help
Nice work, on another cool adventure :). For the wind noise i put a small circle of blue tac around the microphone on the camera and stick some fake fur fluffy fabric on it, really cuts the wind noise down :)
Really enjoyed the hiking videos, I would like to visit some of the same trails and camp sites you show and was wondering if you ever carried a GPS that would record you trips and campsites to share with others. I.E. Garmin 62s. You are an inspiration to us all that enjoy the sport and you have educated this old man. I love the tails, and your videos are not only fun to watch but we learn a lot too! Keep up the great work!
SHOOOOOOG woo buddy ! Just backpacked the gorge weekend before last.parked at wolf pit and went up and over. Theres a new "pinnacle" trail that hooks up with the MST they want you to use. Its pretty cool. New. But cool. It was my first time there and i cant wait to go back. Clocked about 11 hours of straight sleep in my warbonnet blackbird the last night. Most sound sleep ive had in a LONG time. Right by the river. Glorious. Thx fer makin them video yessir.
Funny thing happened while watching this vid…when you guys heard the train…I had one sounding off by me…I thought…wow they are really close to a train track…
Mr. Shug, Looks like a bunch of fun was had, with no minimum of healthy buffoonery. Thanks for the video. I noticed Mr. Hickory isnt running his Clark this time out. Any reason? No joy or just too heavy? Thanks again.
So I spent a few days day hiking the Gorge and I understand why you love it. you mentioned you camped down hawksbill. did you hike up it and follow the trail past it and camp?
well I totally agree with ya on time. We have the KnobStone trail, Mammoth Cave area has some good trails. Willing to travel I have a buddy that goes with me alot also!
Some time u are in area with hickery let us know as me an my wife would lime to hike with u guys but as she is new to hiking we can only do 5 to 7 miles a day but would really like to meet u guys an hike with u
Michael Lester Well...as I tell all. We are stingy with our time together as it is the only time we see each other all year. If you hear a Whoo Buddy...come find us.
I wanted to share a site I get some of my trail food from www.minimus.biz/Condiments.aspx its all mini sizes great for the pack. I'm going to try the Packit Gourmet because you always talk to highly about it. Thanks Shug great video as always

Mr. Shug,
Looks like a bunch of fun was had, with no minimum of healthy buffoonery. Thanks for the video.
I noticed Mr. Hickory isnt running his Clark this time out. Any reason? No joy or just too heavy?
Thanks again.
Christopher Daly He wanted to go a bit lighter. He likes the Clark but does not love it.
So I spent a few days day hiking the Gorge and I understand why you love it. you mentioned you camped down hawksbill. did you hike up it and follow the trail past it and camp?
More than likely behind parking area with a group. We have camped halfway up it before.
Hey if you ever make your way to or around Louisville, Kentucky give me a shout would be cool to hike with ya!
James Casey! Thankee. Love to hike some KY someday. Need more time to do it al.....
well I totally agree with ya on time. We have the KnobStone trail, Mammoth Cave area has some good trails. Willing to travel I have a buddy that goes with me alot also!
Awesome videos Shug. Say, do you have a favorite map for the gorge? If somebody already asked, I missed it.
+Bradyvilleboy .Bradyvilleboy That map is from linvillegorge.net
The more you show us your Linville gorge, the more I want to see it for myself! What is the best time of the year to visit it?
Fall is wonderful. Spring is beautiful. Summer is hot. Winter can be icy and cold. So anytime really.
@@shugemery ok thank you. So for my first time, maybe I'll avoid the ice and cold ;)
Shug where exactly do you live? I see videos in North Carolina and Minnesota. Do you spend time in both states?
Timothy P. O'Connor In Minnesota. Family in NC.
Some time u are in area with hickery let us know as me an my wife would lime to hike with u guys but as she is new to hiking we can only do 5 to 7 miles a day but would really like to meet u guys an hike with u
Michael Lester Well...as I tell all. We are stingy with our time together as it is the only time we see each other all year. If you hear a Whoo Buddy...come find us.
Who needs cable TV?!!
Do women avoid the Pinchin Trail?
Was Hawkeye with you on the trip, or was he just at Louise's?
ekhaat He just stopped by Louises....
I wanted to share a site I get some of my trail food from www.minimus.biz/Condiments.aspx its all mini sizes great for the pack. I'm going to try the Packit Gourmet because you always talk to highly about it. Thanks Shug great video as always
Tristin Kirby What a cool site. Thankee for that. My daughter loves those hotel jellies!
