- Got a call from Alex and Eric and Jonah and Mitch to do a ramble. I know Alex, Eric and Jonah through circus antics... • Shug and Friends.....T...
We had a wonderful walk on the Superior Hiking Trail here in Minnesota From Leveaux Mountain through Temperance River and Cross River to Cook County RD 1.
About a 19 mile stretch. Did 14 miles on day. Awesome...yes, I typed awesome. Cold weather abounded. But we lucked out and got lots of sunshine too.
Whooooooo Buddy))))))....and Dudes.
Shug
Rewatching this video for probably the 7th time...
Heading up in two weeks for a rare 2-night trip from Oberg Mt. to Caribou River Wayside. Gonna camp at Cross River.
Thanks for taking the time to make these great videos!
Great sites along Cross River....saw my wolf there....ruclips.net/video/sJDvW5pmobk/видео.html
Wolfy Woods Wander....one of my favorites.
Checking out your Leveaux Mt. area vids, too. Scenic overlooks should be nice in a couple weeks. Not looking forward to cold muddy trail, though. Gonna bring back up footwear, I guess.
BTW, I first caught on to your videos back in November, shortly after my daughter was born. We passed hours every day watching you sip Medaglia D'Oro, munch Pahp Tairts, & sing silly songs in the woods with your pals Kent & Wand'rin Fool (not so much singing with Stormcrow, Alex & his buds - they are a serious lot!)...
Now my girl is nearly a year old. She dances to your mandolin vids & makes funny faces at your Karl Childers impressions. We saw you at the Minnesota State Fair this year and that was super fun!
Thanks for being a positive, energetic & exceedingly entertaining guy, Shug!
Only one view off of Mt. Leveaux...but a good one. Have a great time. I am hoping to get out soon. Still busy with some shows so all work of late.
Great looking scenery,someday I'll come north to give it a try
Love that river blasting through the rocks I could stare at it all day
It's nice to see "young pup's" on an adventure with the more senior hikers, gives prospective. They were all fired up then seemed to slow down and enjoy toward the end, it's also nice time to share experience with new hikers when they are open to it.
wildfire53575 Glad to see they were sore and gimped up too at the end.
Right square down the middle of my woods. Love it. I wish I was there Great trail. Lived on it in winter hunting for a good 30 years.
Wahoo buddy! I just like to say thanks shug. Your hammock exploits have inspired me and my boys to get out there!
Whooooooo Buddy))))) enjoy the comfort quest.
Shug, so great of you to get some of our youth out and enjoying the trail and hammock camping! This was a blast to watch!
I'm finally getting out next month, and absolutely can't wait.
OutLan Actually....they invited me along! Thankee....
***** LOL, it helps to read the description, eh? Anyhoo, great vid!
Another classic! And the husbandly advice is golden-and sound. Thank you for these videos Shug.
Bradyvilleboy .Bradyvilleboy I learned the hard way.
Awesome...and I just said awesome... trip Shug. Those rivers are nice. I need to make it up there some day. Great trail system.
Another great video Shug. Looks like you and the guy's had a ball. I always feel like I'm right there with you. You make the outdoor experience so much fun. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Dennis Kuenze I hope you do feel like you are there. Thankee.
Great stuff Shug - I'm a huge fan of your videos...whether watching water boil or checking out a hiking trip. Whooo budddyyyy.
Francis LaRossa Mucho obligato
Hey Shug. Sitting here watching your trip with a ruptured Achilles. I can't wait to get back on the trails. Thanks for taking me along.
dragland7268 Ouch.....do your PT and heal it up. Thankee.
Sleep like a wino!!! Great vid Shug thanks for sharing.
IDoBluesdeluxe Not sure where that quoute came from......Whooooo Buddy))))
Great trip, Shug! That SHT sure is a purty walk and a what a running river. Nice shots with icicle-cam, too! Thanks for bringing us along, as always!
lckeeper1 Good to re-visit those sections again and show the dudes.
Another great trip Shug! It always amazes me at the power and force of water.
love it Shug! nice birch zoom in! Many thanks
Byron Williams That birch was really nice.
You know Shug that scenery is equal to the best we have here in Northern California. Brilliant, mighty, hella epic video dude
guyfihi It has it's own personality for sure. CA is in the popular club though.
This was so awesome to watch, thanks for sharing Shug
That Hiking Guy Thankee back.
Shug,
Greetings from the Brainerd Lakes area. Thanks for all the awesome videos, I find them entertaining and educational. I love the Temperance area. You have inspired me to get out!
MrDaSpindler Thankee. Great great area.
Went on a trip to visit my mom in southern Illinois 2 weeks ago. I was walking in the parking lot to go to the local mall and was wearing your shirt. Out of nowhere I hear a loud "WOOOO BUDDDDY" from a passing car. Not sure if another Shug fan, or just read the wording on the t-shirt, but it was nice either way.
Love your vids, Shug.
aephix73 That is too dang cool.
Wonderful hike through beautiful country Shug! Thank you for bring us along! Sincerely, Ossie
Nice one Shug!
Great video as usual, brings home a recent race with my two sons across the beach, that I lost.... I'm 48 now and just realised I'm not s fast as the young uns.. but tortoise and hare makes me smile when there're just as beat at the end of the day. Keep on trucking.
Chippa Fate Fun to hike with the young for sure.
Another great trip there Shug...!!! Thanks for sharing ...
***** Y'elcome!
Phasers set to stunning out there in sector seven Shug, thank you so much for sharing you work is appreciated by this envious Limey.
Be safe and be lucky, Wol.
wols wildcamping Righto and all locked down in sector seven.
Looked Like a great time Shugster! Thanks for taking us along!
TomsBackwoods Yessirree Tom.
Thanks for sharing! WOO BUDDY' from southern Minnesota!
poppabear666 I hear ya' down there.
What an awesome (yes I said it) trip you made! Great pictures of that river and the guys seemed to enjoy it a lot! Thanks a lot for taking us along! Cheers, Marc
Scouting Free The river was in Glory)))))
Superior video and trip there Mr. Shug! Thanks!
nohill4climber Those boys want the Gorge now!
Geeez! I've got to get up there one day! Beautiful country! Thanks for sharing, Shug. :)
boggycreekbeast It sure is and you sure do....
Beautiful hike - thanks for sharing it. You know, I'm surprised you don't fish. It's a really good way to look like you're doing something when you're really just hangin' out enjoying the scenery.
I film instead of fish. I get the same feeling.
Roger that. Plus diggin a hook out of your thumb can really kill your buzz. :-)
I sat down and was watching a few of your videos. My grandson likes to sit on my lap and watch bushcraft videos with me (he'll be 3, June 22). Anyway, what ever one I was watching you were jumping around being the total odd ball we all love. My grandson loved it. He looked at me and said "grandpas he's as goofy as you are". So being the most awesome grandpa that I am, I immediately subscribed. We have to stick together. Oddball people are fun and sincere, zany and loveable. Not the crazy sumbodies you see everywhere now. So continue on Ye Ole Grandpooba of goofieness, king of krazy, shah of zany. May the healing hand of laughter brighten the dark day.
Sam Spaun I love it....and I shall.
Great scenery Shug good to be out. Doing an outer tonight myself. My two tarp idea just overkill think due in great part to not enough out doors. An much too much wind. Wool blanket is a new addition helps retain the heat. Got to know my limits. Keep them coming. Hammock cooking is great! :-) I never knew cooking could be this fun lol.
neo57611 Whooooooo buddy))))
Lol yup really I'm like a log out here sleeping great yup
Nice calm warm and getting rid of the mares. Yup sole sleeping
Dang that was nice ... thanks for sharing the trip pal. Glad to see you got to get out there. Not getting home too early policy... now that's just smart thinking for sure!
***** Not home until 10pm....did good! Fun with the young-uns.
Great video Shug! Great advice on the ladies I'll try that next time! Whooooo Buddie!!!! Keep the videos coming man love it!
Hangs with Raccoons Secures the next trip for sure.
"...gonna sleep. like. a. wine-o."
Bwahaha! You've got a direct line straight to my funny bone, sir.
Good stuff.
Erik Tempest And so I did sleep like one. Smelled like one as well :-)
Looks like a nice trip. Missed this in my feed, just found it when I thought, I haven't seen a video from Shug in a while (and I'm wearing my Shug shurt!). Great advice on picking up a little something for the old lady when your out an about without her. Those little things add up.
Matt Schultz Yessir....it was. Waiting to get out again soon.
As always Mr Shug, you put a smile on my face:). I'm gonna find a way to send this (and and few other vid's of yours) to Billy Bob Thornton...can only imagine a 2- 4 day trek with you two. I see Shug's "Celebrity Trails", for the discerning who can appreciate the great outdoors!! ...see what happens, these are the things I get to imagine when viewing your hikes, keep them up please.
Gregor Miller Glad you feel you are there. No celeb, just a guy who films. Most of the time I am a dullard.
***** ...no dullard, not from where I sit. I've lived on the American River for over 40 yrs. Take the dogs running, and the kids along the horse trail at night. From where I sit, people like Bruce Jenner, the girl with the big boom, making millions on superficial stuff need to take a lesson from people like you, as I do. I guess my point was, the world is a mixed up place, your hikes and experiences allow me to relate. The hollywood stuff I'll never understand, and I think they could learn a lesson or two from you.
Nice trip! Enjoy your videos, hope to see more trips like this one!
John Rycroft I got lots like this one)))).....ruclips.net/p/PL42A47C8FBAB9C49A
Yeah, I've been watching for a while! Interested in some of the trails the extended hikes !
Awesome vid Shug. Looks like a great trip.
John M Gibby Thankee...it was.
Man that river was SOMETHING!! I live in Ontario and this summer I'll be doing a circumnavigation of lake superior in my car, stopping to do some canoeing and hiking in the boundary waters too. Gonna be AWESOME ;)
Alex Haney It is gonna be!
looks wonderful and the young bucks pushing the old buck is a good thing. looks like you had a good time and thank you for sharing
Cannabis healz We all hiked goodly together...it was a party. ;-)
So good to see that you got out! I am itching to get out bad! I don't quite have the gear though for the night temps we are still getting in Oregon. I have my eye on that Hudson River 20 degree top quilt... :)
Glad you had a great time! It is great to be alive!
Cody Ames That HR has never let me down.
I slept in that falls campsite last night! Can’t believe I slept in the site of Shugs hammock beginning! Should have left a gift to the hammock gods!
Love that stretch of the SHT. Thanks.
God I love it up there! Last week I was up on the cross River to leveaux mountain section. Can't wait to do it again. I enjoy all your videos Shug! Would be an honor to backpack with you one of these days or simply run into your out there :D
Alpha Kilo Listen for the Whoooooo Buddy)))) Trail was in great shape.
Loving my WOO Buddy Shug T shirt! I plan on wearing it on my 3 day hike of the Presidential Mountains NH in July
madogblue Stink it up))))) Thankee.
Wow! Nice view on the ice walls and the ice structure underneath. I love the views from Coral Top (am I spelling it right?) with the cliff on one side and the superior lake on the other.
I also love your photo of Jonah at 11:57 with the gorgeous river! Whoooooo buddy for runny noses!
You are truly going through the collection! Salut.
@@shugemery yessir y'elcome!
That Temperance River spot was a real swell place to linger. Man the power of all that water rushing right at ya! Woooo Buddy
Good eats, reminded me to place a new order with PG since I've eaten everything from the last. mmmmmMMMmmm
13-14 miles, that's a good walk for sure. I have a good buddy that I go on trips with and his max is 12 miles. He's a grizzly bear after that. The "dudes" are built for walking.
Thanks for the tip on bringing back something for the wife. I have never thought of that! That just maybe the trick for getting out more. Thanks Shug
CampfireTalk My butt cheecks are a bit sore a couple days after the hike from what we call Ramble 2. A bit of an up-pace. How you feeling?
I feel surprisingly great. Didn't even get that sore. I went for a run last night only 4 days after and feel good to go baby!
"always stalked by red squirrels." That's cause the aura of Shugnut that permeates the piney forest around you, the Shug shuggitty shug shug of the third person. ;)
seancsv They are my animal cousins....
***** Ah, I see, kindred gingers. :))
Love the mixed northern hardwood forests in this video. I spent some time in Algonquin Provincial Park a lifetime ago and truly enjoyed experiencing a different type of forest complex. Down here in PA its almost all broad leaf deciduous except where you can find stands of white pine and hemlock that weren't logged over back in the 19th century. I don't know WHAT the mountains here are going to look like once we lose all the ash trees...maybe the old growth trees will return. But with climate change already impacting plant and animal species, who knows...thanks for the vid Shug
Thankee.
I felt like i was in a little boat about to go under that ice, great filming!
atommachine Oh...you were!
Another Great trip Shug,Thanks
P.S. Just got back from The Gorge on a two day trip she's calling you
GARYSGUNS I though I heard it! Bet it was terrific.
As always, thanks for sharing your adventures
JohnsHouseofFun Thanks yourself....
NIce...Nice...Nice....great video, great views, beautiful river, campsite fun....Jonah and his "wall of warmth" ha (Graylock 4) ...tell Eric the firelord it's suppose to be a campfire not a bonfire ha...love the traditional morning talk out of the hammock with coffee and breakfast...nice of you to take your circus buddies out on their first trip...memorable for them i'm sure.
+RS Marett We tore that one up!
I am not matrimonied up but I did especially enjoy your down to earthy bit of marriage advice. You are the master of all world's my friend a veritable homme du monde! I get a giddy watching these videos. Always makes me want to run outside a call out Whooo Buddy!

What did that woman ever do to deserve you!
Shug, you are a smart man about the wifee....hehe......Looked like a great trip all the way....perfect mileage too.
Clouds Rain Yssir...always. And she always fakes being surprised.
Shug, Just wanted to say that your years of reading a crowd tempers your videos well. No stalls. Good work. Thanks for the efforts.
flysubcompact Thankee....no effort at all.
Great video! I really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.
Thankee.
A+ FANTASTIC SHUGMAN ...
MR A+ Many thanks feller A+
As always sir you delivered a great video! Hopefully I will take the time to put some miles in on that trail this year.
***** It was a major fun romp.
Did I spy a new stool?
***** Same ol' one....
Always stalked by red squirrels? Maybe they think you are one of their own! lol
As always awesome video! Thanks Shug!
Evan Black They are my cousins!
Shug, I know you're busy with all those comments and replies...lol. But I just had to leave yourself a message or two...That was a most awesome adventure and I envy your ability to get out there and bring us along! I wouldn't survive the hike...but the camp, once I'm there, would become my second home...lol. You are the Dude of the most awesome!
Man Land It was a good keep-up trip. Been training and it paid off. Thankee feller.
Really enjoyed watching that. Beautiful country. Testament to our creator. Have you given the game away though to your wife, surely she will view every gift with suspicion from now on, chuckle. Soap though...wow your wife easily pleased.

leetshots I may be a strong brew......
as they say in yorkshire, you cant beat a proper brew.

Man I need to get out in the woods!
bring a little something back for the missus, that sir is pure genius :)
+Tac Blades It is key!
Excellent vid Shug, you're pretty good with that camera to.
jwrappuhn71 Thanks....lots of practice shooting.
You are a mad man and a gentleman. It would be an honor to shake your hand one day.
Toodles,

BeauCh Cyber Shake))))0
Good advice on gifting the wife; thanks pal. Ill have to try it out.
Looks amazing! Nice video.
+Wandering Sole Images I thankee.
Looks like a fun trip. I enjoyed seeing and hearing the water. But Shug, you must have a lot of balls, or your mother in law isn't one of your subscribers!!!
Ron Briz She has no computer skills....I'm safe
***** This has to be the greatest comment I've seen in a response.
"Awesome" is the right word. There is something special about watching large volumes of water fall over a precipice. "Precipice" that's a college word ain't it? Great video.
Kakabekakev Too true and good word.
Whoooo budddeeeeehhh that was great
gs from Australia Shug love your work
Laurence Cahir Cheery cheers and thankee.
Looks like fun! I hope to go this weekend, it in nederland.
Stabz McGee Gooden Middag.
Great vid Shug'
Ceco556 Mucho obligato
Another good adventure Shug makes me want to try packet gourmet.
swatnc Yessir.....you should. Good eatin'
A miracle of rare device. A sunny pleasure dome with caves of ice.
Hector Plasmic Tis true what you say.
Truly Awesome!!
Don-Don Kickin' Dirt Somewhere Guianan Whoooooo Buddy and Thankee.
thanks for the video fix..............been "jonesin' for a good hiking video.
hikehunter jones no more.....
Didn't get to watch yet but a preemptive YAY!!
BushcraftDad Yessir!
The video was good like the rest, then you did Karl and it was pretty damned epic. You're one funny dude!
GeneralPreparedness1 Thankee and thankee.
Awesome video shuge
"do a lil fartin' woooo buddy LOL
Mike Walton Well....we did a lot)))))
How difficult is this trail?? How many rocks do you need to climb?? I have had both knees replaced, is it a safe trail? Really want to hike the SHT.. CAN YOU HELP with info??
Best to peruse their website or get the guidebook for actual info on sections...shta.org
Like any trail, some hard some moderate. a few scrambles, a few rambles.
A great hike/video Shug and a Whooooooo Buddy for the bonus footage of circus :)) Thanks
***** Yessir!
***** any time you want to send me some of that paper birch go right ahead...that's one thing I do like about that side of the country. We have aspen and black birch. But, there's just something about white birch in the heavy wind that smells great in the spring.
William Kennison Truth!
***** I've got a little trip planned to decompress in a little while. Get the ole snugpac jungle hammock in the bag with a good warm bag and going to ohanapakosh hot springs for a nice long soak before turning in so I end up as my own bag warmer through the night (a whole lot better than a hot rock in newspaper). Then migrate to my favorite location to go do damage to some steel targets. Yeah, I'm one of THOSE guys!
well done Shug , looks like a great time had by all
atb Bruce
Ginger Bruce Love seeing them fellers smile.
Knees still do OK Shug?
Great to see you getting out again. Miss the vids....LOL
1timby Knee is doing pretty good. Miss the vids? I can't live in the woods and have covered so much hammock intel I do hat I can.
***** Now you know that you would live in the woods if you could...LOL
At 21:46... I'm proud of you Shug! Green Chile Forever!!!
The Southwest Backpacker Sang sweet on those eggs.
That looked fun.
Bobby Harper Oh...it were.
