I was going to say, Just see my auto-signature, but that is a joke that i hope makes Shug laugh as his videos have always made me laugh, question, contemplate and even sad a few times. When i saw green bean rip or when Carolina Backpacker fell at the gorge, my heart sank. The ability to make us feel something is what keeps me going back to the videos. I've watched probably every video 2-3 times now. Most of the others on youtube doing reviews or testing the lastest stove burn times.....i just can't stomach to watch.
It is all about his showman ship. When i watch i video, it is like he is talking directly at me, to me even. Hell i even find myself answering him when he asks a question....and my wife will just stare at me a laugh. And with all thats happened to me in the last year from being rush to the hospital, being on disability, getting healthier and recovering, losing 51lbs (still amazed i did that), his videos kept me in good spirits. Kept reminding me i can go out and do these things. Reminding me i need to make the time as no one else will make it for me. now maybe it was coming close to dying, or maybe i'm a sucker as I'm originally from Duluth, MN, but if Shug's posting a video, then i can guarantee i will watch it. Multiple times.
Heck before i ever joined the hammock forums, Shug had answered alot of my questions via the comment section on youtube. My family all knows when i'm watching another Shug video. Even my girls repeat my lame attempt at sounding like Shug when hanging their hammocks....."On de knot not on de toggle".
Shug has made me a better "hammocker".....is that a word?? But primarily he entertains my spirit.
