I am Shug

[olddog]

My greatest pleasure was having the opportunity to meet Shug. Then realizing the depth of his love for hammocks and the hammock family in general precedes his every day life. I was able to speak with Shug for a minute before his act. Then he made it a point of spending time with us after his performance. Even my wife who has no interest in hammocks was enthralled with Shugs seeming indifference to anything but the way we relate if hanging in hammocks. We may never get to hang together but I love the man.

I,too, want to add my voice to the roar of gratitude for all your contributions to our love of the outdoors. (How's the finger?)

Shug! I have watched your videos over and over again... I can't get over how awesomely (is that a word??) crazy you are!! You are the reason I am here and exploring the world of tree hanging!! Going to be hitting the Snowflake... Snowman... Snowbank and Kek trail this year. Hope I enjoy it as much as you and Wandering Fool did. Thanks again for your great videos... keep um coming!!

It made my dat speaking with you both as well. Nice to have a wee hammock chat on the gig.

My finger is 100% healed....thanks a bunch.

You will love that trail. Expect to get a bit off-track from time to time! A good map is essential. I hope to go back again too.

Love your videos and your bluegrass music . I have not backpacked in over 30 years but after seeing your vids I got inspired . New here still, to hammock camping but have learned a lot quickly. Thanks, Shug

Your videos are amazing and entertaining. Thanks!

Happy Birthday, Shug!
Your videos have been inspirational. My tablecloths arrive tonight and I am hoping to hang on them this Evening or Friday at the latest.

Ok Shug, now I went an' done it...a new ULA OHM 2.0 arrives Monday to replace the crazy heavy MontBell pack that I bought in Japan on sale about ten years ago. Now if this all goes upsideways I'll be round your gaff and confiscating your manly lip balm. And that's a promise. :-) Yours, DrExcelsior aka Luckyswine. [P.S. the toads of the short forest say hi.]

Had a Heart Attack in September (CHF) and while I was at the hospital, somehow I saw one of your videos while surfing YouTube...I laughed, then watched it again, then watched all of them.... I was inspired from then on. I have since learned to hang a Hammock... and how to fly fish (Tenkara Style) and I'm never going back. Love the outdoors and hammock camping in general. Started with your vids and then with this site. I appreciate all of yours and the folks at HF help and guidance. This has been the most fun hobby I have ever experienced (though its more of a lifestyle) My Doctor says you are also "the Man" for getting me out and about.

Appreciate you more than I can express,
