I remember many years ago you did a -40 trip. My friend who grew up in Florida thought it was inconceivable like out of a science fiction movie. He watched that vid and to this day calls you “The -40 Guy”
You’re an inspiration. Love watching your videos. I started going camping in the winter with my teenage daughter because of you and it’s been the best time I’ve spent talking with her. You are so correct in conversations that come up. Thanks for everything you do.
More delicate than a kit kat, easily wrapped my grey matter around that -24° 🤯 about to wonder wtheck? Brrrrskiiiis u got the wintercamping survival skills, IMPRESSIVE! THANKYOU SIR!
Great fun and good food in very cold conditions, thanks. A little Medaglia Oro mixed in brownies when I make them helps the chocolate taste even better.
Hot dog im feeling inspired we got a foot of snow, more coming tonight. Cant get away but a back yard hang is definitely in order tonight! South west Michigan folk with minesota roots!
welcome back into wilderness..i was in Berlin for new year..meine mutter and bruder wohnt in Berlin..returned jan.14tth and i went to snow backpacking for night after day..and last weekend another one..
Yes! I was waiting for another cold weather video. I have been doing some cold hammocking as well here in the Adirondacks, just solo, I can’t find people.
I just did my most serious trip so far (8 days on a high mountain, including high alpine desert), came back, and am watching Shug videos just dreaming about getting out hammocking... Excellent video, Shug, inspirational. You show what it's all about
Bean's back! What a good boy. He makes me laugh with his resting grumpy face. I remember him only actually getting grouchy when he thought you were going to take his BBQ rib away haha
As Winter approaches, I watched your Winter Camping Trip again. I can see that your are in your zone. I think that Winter takes us to a primal place and survival mode kicks in. You just feel more aware and alive. Always a pleasure!
I got to be like #700. Such good time. Thanks for the video. Tonight’s a cold one. I am hanging indoors. I got -21 night in Michigan on UP a few weeks back. We got surprised that night too. Good gear is the ticket! All the best.
As always, much love my brother from down here near Uwharrie NC. Hammock camping since 06. Changed my whole outlook on the woods. These hot tenters will never understand.
Best bit of wisdom Shug said, something to the effect, I’ve got some experience, but I can always learn more. I tell my child, EVERY-TIME you get out in nature, you will learn something new. Well said Shug, nailed “it”.
I adore the luxuries that winter camping can bring. The second you pulled out a whole container of oregano, I knew that was high life living right there. Thanks for taking us along on your trip!
Minus 24! 🥶 Wow. And still you managed to cook up some gourmet food that looked better than most of what I cook at home! 😂 Thanks for showing us back here in the “world” what frozen beauty is out there in nature. Oh, i also dug the mandolin version of Dust in the Wind! 👍🏼
I have to say, that's a little cold even for this Yooper. Negative 24 and a windchill you two are hardy to handle that, thanks for taking us with ya on the adventure. 🧊
You have an artillery squad as neighbors? Uhhh... let's hope they are good neighbors! LOL Great video Shug! I love the ones where it's so cold that even fire won't burn.
Some good hang-time right there Shug! That's a chilly one for sure and for certain. Coldest I've gone through (without shelter) is -10F and 20mph winds. Dad and I were moose hunting in the Alaskan Arctic. It wasn't safe to cross the river (to get to camp), so we had to tough it out all night in the bend of a frozen river. All of the camping gear was in camp. I had a canvas snowmobile cover and a tarp type tube shelter. We put the machines nose to nose to act as a wind break, piled some boughs of willow on the ice and tried to get a little sleep (NOPE). So, we lit a fire and spent the night tending the fire. That was our first "cheating death" episode for that hunt, there were two more. God is good.
Two of my favorite thangs; taggin' along with yawll and the sweet Mandolin. KOOKLA, FRAN AND OLLY!! daang we're gettin' on in age. HA! WHOOO BUD-DAY! much 'ppreciated Mr. Emery
Thanks, Shug. I so appreciate it when you make the effort to take us with you. Great vid as always. Good wisdom was given for when out in the elements and it looked like a great camp time. I too have to get away from the 'world' for a while at times. ATB stay safe.
Really glad to see you out in the hammock again Shug! We love watching and tagging along. Vicariously EARLY?!'ing in the snow with you! Take care can't wait for the next adventure. All secure in sector seven woobuddy
Nice to get away for awhile, yessiree. I like how you eliminate the breakfast mess with pre made sandwiches. It's kind of a luxury to be camping literally in a freezer enabling fresh food. Kind of surprised you didn't use a tarp with doors. Loved the fox story and footage. Nice bonus! I'm also curious if you sleep with the Steger mittens on? Maybe some down booties too? Well, thanks for doing what you do Shug.
Came across this video this AM . I used to watch you a lot . Must have lost your channel when I had to get a new phone . Like seeing an old friend . Love the mandolin music . 😁👍🌄
I just re-made the lanyard out of webbing. I did not film it. Pretty easy project though. Added the clips to hold gloves behind. See if I like that feature. www.boundaryfursewing.com/beavermitts/attachment-harness
Man I didn’t like that kind of weather even when we had a diesel stove to heat our gp medium tents in Germany for the Army . Yes the gear sucked we had to use in the 80’s but I was almost 40 years younger too. You definitely have some cold weather endurance. Respect to you have fun on those outings and stay safe.
You may not get this, message, but I have been away and thought to encourage you to get away again, and then I found this current adventure. I was overjoyed that you got outside the walls of security and found your way to the midnight sun with Miaygi in tow. May you continue to realize the blessings of Stillness as distraction purges from the mind.
Thanks. Miaygi was not actually with me (but his pizza inspiration was) I get away when I can but have my hands in many other things so camping is just a part of my life. Thanks for the good thoughts.
I also do a layered underquilt sandwich when doing BWCA winter camping. Works great! Double up a 20 degree, 30 degree and throw a thermarest z lite foam pad in the bottom. I get way better sleep in a hammock vs hot tent. Getting up every 2 hours feeding the stove is a pain and all you get is wet snow. Been there done that. Once you go hammock you never go back.
And that feller said you didn’t know how to winter camp that one time….showed ‘em again Shug. Riding out an ice storm in the Ozark’s tonight. See ya next trip.
Hillbilly Arctic Tundra! Love it Man that pizza! Nice trip report from the hammock at the end. You said it, good to get away and reset. Heart to heart talks are good. Quiet is good. Woooobuddy bean
Nice classy trip! Not for amateurs. As a former PowWow Trail clearing crew member/leader, have to say balancing a log on the chin near a silky saw ads an extra dimension of excitement.
My cousin and I used to winter camp with a sled. Had to ask, because Iowa is mostly private land. Farmers were more than glad to give us permission. Good old days. Now you could be shot just walking up to the farmer's door.
Great trip, enjoyed watching. Always get a kick out of your videos. Late to the show, tomorrow will be work day #12 straight. Thank you for sharing, take care Shug. 🇺🇲
HF member here. You are the reason I got into hammock/winter camping. You are the best! Thank you!
I am happy to hear that. Enjoy the hammock quest.
Same, he got me into it as well. Heading out tomorrow in fact
I remember many years ago you did a -40 trip. My friend who grew up in Florida thought it was inconceivable like out of a science fiction movie. He watched that vid and to this day calls you “The -40 Guy”
It was other-worldly on that trip. I like being the "-40º Guy" !!!
You’re an inspiration. Love watching your videos. I started going camping in the winter with my teenage daughter because of you and it’s been the best time I’ve spent talking with her. You are so correct in conversations that come up. Thanks for everything you do.
I love that. If you can find something to connect on...that is a huge win for both of you. Whoooooooo Buddy)))))
Immaculate comic timing on “I’m a woodsman”. Enjoyed this trip.
Oh immaculation~ Thankee.
Very Cool. Pun intended. It's a special kind of quiet in the snowy woods. Good times. Thanks for sharing.
I concur on the quiet.
Glad to see Bean! He made the end of your vid Spectacular! 👍
He is sleeping on me as I type this. I am furniture for him.
Damn, nothing beats good camp food and hot coffee! Looks like a good hang. Take care of yourself and keep on keeping on.
The World is as I want it out there~~
Love camping - but nothing beats coming home to your love and your pooches.
It is true, true and truth.
Kudo's to Jonah !!! Two winter 4 star chefs !!! Awesome trip. Enjoyed the Mando too.Thanks🙃
Yeah....he toted in the cast iron skillet!
Thanks on the mandolin.
Thanks from Nova Scotia for taking us along…great camp out! Cheers Mike.
Cheers~
More delicate than a kit kat, easily wrapped my grey matter around that -24° 🤯 about to wonder wtheck? Brrrrskiiiis u got the wintercamping survival skills, IMPRESSIVE! THANKYOU SIR!
The Czech chocolate is a whole different thing. My head likes it....a lot!
Must winter camp. Half the year here.
Living the dream👍
Thanks for taking us along.😀
And dreaming to Live! Thankee for the good words.
Thanks Shug ! Winter is cold but its also beautiful !
Righto~
always glad to watch nature do some calming and healing on ya
Thankee.
Those mits look wonderful!
Well worth the $99 plus shipping.
Great fun and good food in very cold conditions, thanks. A little Medaglia Oro mixed in brownies when I make them helps the chocolate taste even better.
Special "BE AWAKE" Brownies
Shug, your winter camping videos are premium content! Thank you!
Thanks for the good words.
I have to admit. Those hammock hot tents do look really nice.
Thanks for the video
They do. Seem like a lot of work to haul and set up and keep stoked through the night. May rent and try someday.
Thanks Shug,
I always enjoy your videos.
Looks like Bean was happy to welcome You home.
Made me happy that he was so happy!
Shug winter videos are my favorite! 3 nights Brrrrr Buddy)))) 💪👍
I do await Spring backpacking. Seems ultra-light after Winter!
Hot dog im feeling inspired we got a foot of snow, more coming tonight. Cant get away but a back yard hang is definitely in order tonight! South west Michigan folk with minesota roots!
Nice to hear what goes on at 3 am in your own yard. Enjoy.
What a great joy listening to your guitar [sic] music - with hammocking!
Thankee. Mandolin though.
@@shugemery hence the "[sic]" in my comment, because I was certainly uncertain of which instrument it is.
@@Enigma277 Copy that.
Love that music and snowy "paysage" (scenery) at 19:55, very fitting!
"I don't know who their neighbors are." Oh man that had me rolling! I love your videos Shug!
Roll on and thankee.
welcome back into wilderness..i was in Berlin for new year..meine mutter and bruder wohnt in Berlin..returned jan.14tth and i went to snow backpacking for night after day..and last weekend another one..
I'm always trying to get there when time allows. Glad you did.
Yes! I was waiting for another cold weather video. I have been doing some cold hammocking as well here in the Adirondacks, just solo, I can’t find people.
Not too many really want too!!!
Shug, I absolutely love your trip videos! And your mandolin playing just makes it all the better.
Thank you kindly! Whoooooo Buddy))))
I am just a hack picker.
I just did my most serious trip so far (8 days on a high mountain, including high alpine desert), came back, and am watching Shug videos just dreaming about getting out hammocking...
Excellent video, Shug, inspirational. You show what it's all about
Sounds like a right good trip. In USA?
WOO-HOO!!
Groundhog Day says more frozen hammocking videos 🥶 🧊
No shadow. Winter remains.
Bean's back! What a good boy. He makes me laugh with his resting grumpy face. I remember him only actually getting grouchy when he thought you were going to take his BBQ rib away haha
That face is his calling card. My Grand Dog. He does have food issues when it comes to bones.
As Winter approaches, I watched your Winter Camping Trip again. I can see that your are in your zone. I think that Winter takes us to a primal place and survival mode kicks in. You just feel more aware and alive. Always a pleasure!
You nailed it...primal~~
Good to see you are well and up and out Shug. Take care.
I needed the reset I got out there. Peace lives there.
Nice hand warmers for sure! and trip to wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo buddy!
And so say my hands too.
I got to be like #700. Such good time. Thanks for the video. Tonight’s a cold one. I am hanging indoors. I got -21 night in Michigan on UP a few weeks back. We got surprised that night too. Good gear is the ticket! All the best.
Those sneak attack temps test a feller out.
Shug is just a wholesome guy. Really hope he never quits being himself and sharing it with us.
I want to be someone else.....but stuck with me! So I go with it. Thankee....
As always, much love my brother from down here near Uwharrie NC. Hammock camping since 06. Changed my whole outlook on the woods. These hot tenters will never understand.
Hey Bobby~
I don’t think I could ever express how much o enjoy your videos Shug. Thank you
Thankee Gerry.
Great to see Shug in his natural habitat 😃
The couch is in close competition.
looked mighty cold to me shug. very happy to see you back and well :) ...woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo buddy!
An austere lovelyness out there for sure.
Cold Frosty Morning. I likey!
Ahhh...thanks for recognizing that one. Fun to play.
Best bit of wisdom Shug said, something to the effect, I’ve got some experience, but I can always learn more. I tell my child, EVERY-TIME you get out in nature, you will learn something new. Well said Shug, nailed “it”.
So much more to learn. Best to keep an open mind as you age.
I’ve been watching for years, and I can honestly say, your noodling on the mando has improved VASTLY over the years. Getting REAL good
I consider myself just a hack picker. Sometimes I work at it. Sometimes not. But I do thankee.
@@shugemery shush yourself and take the bow. ;)
If that's you SHUG on the Mandolin (or other string instrument) it really adds to the videos you make. Keep up the good pickin!
It is me.
I'm a hack picker. Thankee.
At 25:23, your pizza looks delicious! And that sunset with the music : Whoooooooo buddy!
I was very good but the locale helped!
When Shug said "...with the snow...when you hollar....it just Whoosh....BLALALALALA...".....I felt that.
Like screaming into a pillow.
Always a pleasure Shug, many thanks for all your hard work, much appreciated. Kind regards from deepest Dorset 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Ahhh. Dorset makes me think of a good cuppa and a lardy cake. Thankee.
I adore the luxuries that winter camping can bring. The second you pulled out a whole container of oregano, I knew that was high life living right there. Thanks for taking us along on your trip!
No muckin' about out there. Thankee.
Minus 24! 🥶 Wow. And still you managed to cook up some gourmet food that looked better than most of what I cook at home! 😂 Thanks for showing us back here in the “world” what frozen beauty is out there in nature. Oh, i also dug the mandolin version of Dust in the Wind! 👍🏼
Decided to up the eating game this winter. Glad!!!
Thanks on Dust.
I have to say, that's a little cold even for this Yooper. Negative 24 and a windchill you two are hardy to handle that, thanks for taking us with ya on the adventure. 🧊
It was frosty goodness for sure!!! Had the Hantuu bat but it survived for another trip.
That furry hat, I'm sure helped keep the windchill at bay.
@@yooperwsdm Beaver hat from my Alaskan sister in law. Misplaced it for years but re-found. Soooo warm.
You have an artillery squad as neighbors? Uhhh... let's hope they are good neighbors! LOL Great video Shug! I love the ones where it's so cold that even fire won't burn.
Yeah...they just lob dirt clods~~!
A little cooler than I like, but looks like a great trip.
Not sure how I do it says I as I type from my recliner.
Some good hang-time right there Shug! That's a chilly one for sure and for certain. Coldest I've gone through (without shelter) is -10F and 20mph winds.

Nice to be able to improvise and come out alive!
I agree Shug! Ain't nothing like some winter hammock camping! I'm going out in two weeks, should be a good time.
Good hang to ya’
Finally a shug vid. Was having withdrawals,LOL.Thanks shug
Hasn't been that long has it???~~
19:48 Shug's a self-starter; don't need no one to pull his string!!
I got a cable...not a string!!!~~

Oh, oops! I thought for sure it'd be a spare length of Amsteel, from an old Whoopie Sling. My apologies.😁👋

Another outstanding trip. Really liked those new mittens. Game changers for sure. Looked like a good time. Take care, Al
Truly an upgrade those mitts. When you need 'en, they are so warm and good.

Waiting for someone to get that reference~~
I love a wintry wonderland! Always a pleasure to see another trip report from Shug!
It truly was.
Thanks, Shug. I so appreciate it when you make the effort to take us with you. Great vid as always. Good wisdom was given for when out in the elements and it looked like a great camp time. I too have to get away from the 'world' for a while at times. ATB stay safe.
Yessir! Gotta make myself film in that cold. The World is like a friend gone bad of late. Space is needed!
Another great video and thanks for giving mid-west backpacker a shout out in one of your videos. I have found good info on his channel too.
Righto~
Nice catch at 20:18 with that fox!
Right~
Lord all mighty Shug When you were playing Dust in the wind I was praying for you to start Sangin. That sounded great BTW
Never felt inclined to croon it but always loved that fiddle riff.
What a good trip. Whooo Buddy!!!
Righto~~~ it was a right goodie.
I don't miss winter camping in northern MN, but I have some fond memories
I feel it necessary......
Really glad to see you out in the hammock again Shug! We love watching and tagging along. Vicariously EARLY?!'ing in the snow with you! Take care can't wait for the next adventure. All secure in sector seven woobuddy
Wanted to arise to coffee EARLIER~~~ but no sun until 7:15am. Cold and dark is cruel...haaaaaa

We did have some leftovers in Camp Hillbilly Hovel.
Came across this video this AM . I used to watch you a lot . Must have lost your channel when I had to get a new phone . Like seeing an old friend . Love the mandolin music . 😁👍🌄
Fun to find something long lost~~ Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Shug! You know you now have to make a video on how you made the glove lanyard! :)
I just re-made the lanyard out of webbing.
I did not film it. Pretty easy project though.
Added the clips to hold gloves behind. See if I like that feature.

It’s not quite-40 ;) but still chilly! Great job Shug, you ARE well prepared.
I was expecting -40º...this trip I was not expecting -24º.
It differs.
Thanks for taking us along! Made my feet cold just watching y'all, a little hungry too. Thanks y'all !
My nose is still chapped!
wisest of words I've ever heard 5:40 - thank you for sharing this part of you life with us.
Has always worked in my life plan.
Thanks for including the metric temps. I can't even comprehend what that feels like. 🇦🇺
I learned to just go ahead and do that. Y'elcome.
Man I didn’t like that kind of weather even when we had a diesel stove to heat our gp medium tents in Germany for the Army . Yes the gear sucked we had to use in the 80’s but I was almost 40 years younger too. You definitely have some cold weather endurance. Respect to you have fun on those outings and stay safe.
I like you observations. Long winters here...gotta get outta the home and woods snooze.
Love the music. Spent New Year's Eve and Day/night in the ADKs. Nice! Thanks for your videos.
Appreciate that. ADKs are right good.
You may not get this, message, but I have been away and thought to encourage you to get away again, and then I found this current adventure. I was overjoyed that you got outside the walls of security and found your way to the midnight sun with Miaygi in tow.

Good ol Shug, it's been a minute since I've seen one of your videos. Hope all is well with you and the family..
Righto~ All secure here. Best we can be considering.
Beautiful trip out. Soundtrack had me tapping my foot too. Thank you shug
Mucho appreciato.
Great video! Loved the music montages, really great production.

I also do a layered underquilt sandwich when doing BWCA winter camping. Works great! Double up a 20 degree, 30 degree and throw a thermarest z lite foam pad in the bottom. I get way better sleep in a hammock vs hot tent. Getting up every 2 hours feeding the stove is a pain and all you get is wet snow. Been there done that. Once you go hammock you never go back.
Layering works real good. Funny on the hot stove. I may rent one someday from an outfitter to see if I like it. But that constant feeding.....hmmmmm
Love Bean's Jacket! Great video, Shug!
Thanks. Knitted by my daughter!
And that feller said you didn’t know how to winter camp that one time….showed ‘em again Shug.
Riding out an ice storm in the Ozark’s tonight.
See ya next trip.
Haaa....he still tells me that once in a while. Careful on that ice!
Always love your videos-so upbeat! Just the right touch, in this “not so “ perfect world we live in. Thanks Shug👍

That was a real good camping’ trip. Uh huh. Mr Shug, my wife agrees you completely about the difference between licorice and string candy.

Thank you for sharing your adventure!

Nice one Shug!
Gives me some inspiration to get out and do same.
Thanks for all you do to inspire!!
You should for sure. I did not miss "the World" and all of it's current mania.
My cousin and I used to winter camp with a sled. Had to ask, because Iowa is mostly private land. Farmers were more than glad to give us permission. Good old days. Now you could be shot just walking up to the farmer's door.
Thus my need to "get away~~"
