Shug,

I've enjoyed your videos for the last year (maybe more). Learned a lot, and helped me decide to start hammock camping which I am enjoying with my 10 year old son.

We both thank you.

Keep up the good work and more importantly keep having fun!

Not sure what conditions woukd be. Icy trail. Off to a nice site to fiddle with my hammock and shoot some video and just get out into the woods. So glad I did...even though it was only a 24 hour trip. Totally worth it.
I've been asked to show myself hanging the hammock and such. So I did. Plus just some camp palaver as well.
Whoooooo Buddy)))))

Great vid! i'm sure you've been asked to show your "fiddling around" and setup for awhile, but I feel like we just asked not to long ago here on HF and now here it is. Your videos never cease to amaze me how much enthusiasm you have for what you do. I'm not sure why, but I couldn't stop laughing after the "Hug yerself a cedar" at 3:31 but that truly hit my funny bone. Maybe because we've all been there...

Excellent vid as usual Shug, Thanks!

My other favourite moment was the 'morning constitutional' talk.

My folks used to have a cottage with an out-house. In the fall my favourite thing was having to go out as the wind used to whip through that thing. For some reason I always enjoyed that moment of having the wind blowing across my bottom haha.

Ummm, False advertizing Shug ole buddy. I expected to see you playing a fiddle in your hammock.

But a great video as always.

The constitutional talk gets me laughing every time. The one where Shug goes into detail on the whole process, I believe Sioux Hustler Trail video, got me laughing so hard my stomach hurt. "...the toilet paper, I take a lighter and burn it on top of the horror that what is came out of me" LOL!!!!

It must be spoken about. A breeze down there is a true joy.
