Yes Hear Hear from the UK always a Hoot .and such a Warm and Knowledgably Sharing Personality, Thank you Shug looking forward to sharing time in Retirement with you
I was setting up my hammock two nights ago in a lovely spot by a lake. Caught myself saying, "on the knot, not the toggle". Thanks to you, I sleep wonderfully in a hammock now on my backpacking trips. Enjoy your retirement days Shug, you've earned it!
I also appreciate having the BWCA as my back yard ... only a few hour drive north and you can breath. Thanks for sharing enjoyed the virtual camping trip.🌲 Yup I retired early age 62 a decade ago... new chapter. Good capture of the eagle flying ... not an easy subject to film.🦅
I’m almost ashamed to admit how much I’ve missed your walks in the woods. Sitting here recovering from total knee replacement unable to hike myself, this is the next best thing. A much needed break from the madness of our world. It needs more people like Hickory and yourself.
First of all congratulations Shug on your retirement. I know in a way it's bittersweet because you're a natural entertainer, and a great one at that. Enjoy! It was so satisfying seeing you finally out there with your couple of friends doing what you love to do. It was great seeing you bring Hickory into the video. Boy how I miss seeing the Hickory Brothers together. Really hope you can get together soon. So sorry for the events that took place. I pray you and your family stay happy, healthy and safe. Thank you Shug
It was 4 years ago that I had written you. I asked if you thought a few healing old vets could survive a trip in the Boundary Waters. You gave some great advice. Thanks to you we have a yearly trip; 2 trips BWCA, Isle Royale and Lake George. Our group gets a little bigger each year. And we all enjoy your video’s. Also caught the show last two years at the Wisconsin State Fair. Enjoy Retirement brother!!!
Congrats on retirement ole team mate! Spend as much time in the woods as you can. You won't regret it. I got myself a canoe last year and started fishing again after 20 years. Also teaching my grandkids how to fish. It's great doing what you want when you want, finally!
Congratulations on your retirement! The State Fair won't be the same without you. You picked the perfect time to get away from the chaos, and now I have something better to watch than the TV Thank You!
Shug, I have been watching your channel for a long time. I also see you helping others on Hammock Forums and RUclips. Your messaging to the community always makes me so happy. You always strive to be a great human and I especially love watching your videos because of that! Thanks for everything Shug. Also your podcast was awesome! Loved hearing about your Circus days. Congratulations on retirement! You deserve it. ALL SECURE IN SECTOR 7! WOO BUDDY
Shug, happy retirement my man. I am glad you are safe as well. Troubling times. I wanted to let you know you’ve inspired me to get back into backpacking. I have a cabin here in GA right on the Benton MacKeye Trail and I’m headed out for a hang tomorrow. Thank you for your entertaining posts. I used to live in NC as well as MN (Andover) so watching your videos has been like a trip back around the country. Please keep posting your vids and your head high.
Love your vids since you had just a handful of subscribers.. my favorite uplift channel I watch in the warmth of my Northern Minnesota arrowhead home. Thanks Shug
I was just up there 05/29 - 05/31; stayed on Wind Lake. Chilly nights in the mid 30s but not to bad overall. 1st time to really test out my hammock. Used you videos when doing research on what to look for when buying a hammock. I am happy I used a hammock and look forward to other adventures with it. I live in central Iowa and have been to the BWCA three times now. I hope to make it an annual thing. I love it up there; perfect getaway.
Great to see your getting out. That is very pretty area. Congregation on retirement. Continue to enjoy life as you always have. Keep those videos coming. 👍😀
My middle name has been "No Fun" for 3 months..... but tonight sir, you gave me a bit of joy. Thank you for that gift. Enjoy the next phase Shug.... I will miss your shows at the Wisconsin state fair.
Oh man I needed this. I have no doubt you guys did too... I think we all do. Thanks for giving us some time to decompress with you out on the trail. I think I'm gonna try to tackle the Sioux-Hustler this fall. I'm glad I finally caught you at the State Fair last year (twice!) but I'm sad to see you go. Still, I have no doubt you are feeling free. I look forward to your future shenanigans Sean, be safe, be well, take care! -JD
I’m happy for you Shug but we’re going to miss you at the State Fair. I just told my kids and they even got a little teary. You’ve always been one of their favorites. Enjoy retirement and maybe I’ll see ya out on the trail sometime.
Finally got to watch this video! It's so special watching Shug fix 7 year old grits from his custom hammock setup! I think your fire took care of all the covid! Congratulations on your retirement! Looking forward to a Hickory reunion!
There I was. Front row at your performance. The Great Minnesota Get Together. You asked me to toss your felt cap onto your head from 20 feet away. You nailed it. Knowing that was the first and the last time I'd see you perform makes it even more special to me. Congrats Shug on an amazing career. Now you can spend more time hiking and hangin' during all seasons and also spend more time on your painting and music. I hope you never retire from RUclips.
Congratulations on your retirement Shug. You have been, and still are, an inspiration to thousands. Thank You. Steve, Brighton (on the sunny south coast) UK.
Super congrats on your retirement ! I enjoyed the video, I hope you keep doing videos. I have been retired three years now. It is better than working. I hope you are able to stay safe during these times.
Congratulations on your retirement, can’t think of a better time to disconnect a little more from this crazy world. Thanks for continuing to put out your videos. I’m stuck here in quarantine in my house (fortunately with mild symptoms) and your videos keep me going! Your closing really got to me though. I always wait for you stay all clear in sector 7, I even say it to my son when we finish a task or a project. But when you couldn’t say it, well that was pretty powerful. Anyway, glad you and your family is healthy and safe.
CONGRATULATIONS on retirement! Here's to many years of lollygagging! A friend and I just completed our thru hikes of the sheltowee trace in Kentucky. You wouldn't believe the many Shug impressions that got us thru the day!
I just got back from the BWCA last week. This was the first year that I used a hammock setup. Most of what I learned trying to prep for the trip (in terms of the hammock) I learned from this channel. Thanks for putting this info out there man.
That nighttime view of the lake is so evocative of my BWCA trips! ...Things ARE a mess right now in the twin cities, and elsewhere...but it's for a good reason. Here's to peace, but also justice.
I miss the Boundary Waters. Been there four times and want to get back sometime soon! It's fun to watch your Linville Gorge videos. I live about an hour from there and love that place!
Dadgummit, I'll never get to see you perform... but the important thing is that you're happy. And making videos, and painting, and lollygagging, and flying model aircraft, and drinking coffee...
Congratulations on your retirement! I retired a year and a half ago. Also a performer: symphony musician. 52 years. Do not worry, I was a teenager when I started. I’m ten years older than you. The only thing I miss is the checks! I hope it’s the same way for you. Thanks for the videos. All best.
Just what we all needed: Shug in the piney north woods. Thanks for taking us along. It did us both some good. WB! Congratulations on your promotion to full-time lollygagger.
Congrats on the retirement! Enjoy! I hope I can retire in a couple years when I hit 62. It will be retirement in poverty, but I'm OK with that. I headed for the north as soon as Wisconsin set us free. I made it about a mile from my camping area when the spring broke on my van and gave me a flat and damaged the CV boot. I managed to tape it back together good enough to limp it the 4-hour trip back home.
Shuge, this will all be over soon and people will need entertainment like yours. Of all the services yours is one of the most stable in history. I know you'll be just fine. I'm in Brooklyn, my restaurant of 8 years is closed, probably for good. But I'll be ok. You seemed a bit down in this vid. Don't be. Everything that comes from this will make the world a better place.
Awesome Shug! Welcome to the Loligag Life! Enjoy your retirement, get lotsa miles and hang time, and keep that Mando tuned-up! Happy for ya! Skypainter
Yes !!! His Shugness has camped... boiled water, drank coffee, eaten Pap-Tyawts, and done general Shugery. We likes it. Yup, no shortage of insanity 'round here in the PNW as well. Keep yer head down Kemosabe. Congrats on the transition. I'm jealous.
So glad you and yours are safe and doing well. I'd be lying if i said we weren't thinking of you guys over there. Hang well my friend !! #fromdownunder
Congratulations on your retirement! I hope we will get to see more of you on RUclips now your retired. Fantastic past memories, new chapter for future memories
stay safe over there Sir, It`s been a while since we seen ya, good to know your ok , enjoy your retirement, Not sure you`ll ever retire,, as you have so much to give to the world !!! All the best to you and yours in these chaotic times Mister, Keep sector 7 secure and be well !!! .

Shug! I finally got to make it through (almost) the night in my hammock. I talked to you last year I believe about my struggles with not being able to fall asleep, but last Saturday. I crashed out between 11 and midnight and made it to 5:30 when the dawn chorus and dawn light woke me. Slithered into the house at that point ! But boy it felt good!😊
Granite, lichen, lakes, loons, eagles, moose droppings, cedar, pine, friends, Karl, and the Maple King. Now that’s good content. Congratulations on your decision. Looks like it was kinda in the cards. If you ever get the itch, I’m sure you would have an audience.
Hi Shug! Have been watshing your channel for years. Not just used to send comments on youtube channels, think I never done it before. But now it`s time!You really have been the favoritchannel for me for a long time. Congrats to retirement! Please, don` t stop doing youtube! This new video was fantastic!

This... This right here. I echo this 100%

Thanks for all you do Shug! Your videos are always enjoyed!
Congratulations for retirement Shug. Thank you for sharing the woods and wildlife. Needed to see that.
I’m almost ashamed to admit how much I’ve missed your walks in the woods. Sitting here recovering from total knee replacement unable to hike myself, this is the next best thing. A much needed break from the madness of our world. It needs more people like Hickory and yourself.
Certainly did me good. For me a better world in the deep woods.
First of all congratulations Shug on your retirement. I know in a way it's bittersweet because you're a natural entertainer, and a great one at that. Enjoy!

Congrats on retirement! I retired at 62 also...wish it could’ve been earlier. Retirement isn’t what it’s cracked up to be...it’s a whole lot better!!!
Still feels weird but no gigs anyways so now was the time.

Beavers are wonderful damn builders. Their dams have little spill ways. Thank you for the views of the north country.
Congratulations on your retirement! The State Fair won't be the same without you.
You picked the perfect time to get away from the chaos, and now I have something better to watch than the TV
