Shug; good to see tarps and gear in harsh situations,,,see how they would fair,,,and like you said if you were in the hammock you'd be knockin the snow off as it came. I was wondering about it the last couple of days here in MNOTW as we got a foot of snow and then the temps got real warm like +5/40*. Its turned everything into heavy slop,,,Just got plowed out this morning. Welcome back Shug.

As always, better than ever.
You might feel so, but truth be told, you have only made one bad video.

Cool ..... 1 outta 101..... good odds!

OK now ya been out in the cold too long ... not thinking clearly ... having irrational thoughts!
Get some hot cocoa and maybe one of those Coffee Crisps and warm up pal ... cause nun'of'em are even remotely bad! Ya make way too many people smile and chuckle and we all have "learnt" a thing or two along the way!

Same back atcha Hawk-eye!!!!

welcome back Shug! Been wondering how you faired making your way back from Iowa...Glad you survived that list of maladies, fortunately frostbite was not in the list.

I bet if your tarp had collapsed it would have bumped news of the Metrodome giving way, well, at least if there'd been real time video....

glad to see ol' Carl is having a good time in the snow

I glided home as much as drove!
Frostbite is my companion....
Karl would rather be back in the Nervous Hospital......

Ahhhh, that's better thanks Shug!

Yessir ..... I feel the same! Getting some YouTube pressure......

Another cool video, Shug! Thanks for taking the time to show us your get-up! Glad to see you made it home safe and sound... well, safe anyway!
Stay warm,
PF

Tarp fans love eye-balling a tarp in adverse conditions......Thankee.

Nose hairs and ear hairs freeze in this weather..... fun!

I am real proud of that ol' tarp.......
I detest the "slop" .... tough to shovel and just no fun.

Shug, you need to send your videos to the folks over at the discovery channel or something. Les Stroud and Bear Grylls got nothing on you. I mean they provide some good information and all but wheres the entertainment value? Once you've seen Bear eat a goat's nut, the shock value is gone for everything else.

On a serious note though... you should pursue that avenue... if we all love you here, imagine a larger audience.

The darn firewall at work will not let me watch videos. So I've been waiting all day to see this and I was not disappointed. This is another outstanding Shug production. Thanks so much.

I have a few questions- you appear to have hung the tarp quite low to the ground; is this to minimize the wind getting in and stealing warmth? or to let the snow pile up around the long edges and form insulation walls? or both? or something else altogether?
(I ask because I hang my hammock rather high- every time I don't I end up bumping the ground/grass; also in DFW there is hardly ever snow, and certainly not like that!)
Thanks! KM (who likes to watch other folks playing in the snow, but rarely gets to do it..See comment above)

I fear it would take all the fun out of it.......
It is fun just have fun that way if it is marginal it does not cost anyone anything but ten minutes of time.
Thanks though ....

This is a nice warm place.
