I didn’t know a simple ridge line video could be so entertaining! Thanks Shug for brightening up my day. 😀
Whoooooo Buddy))))) The ridgeline is my muse....
Best wishes for your wife's eye surgery!!!
Thankee.
You looked like the real deal in that cowboy hat! Thanks for the tips Shug I needed that. 👍
Now I need a cow.
@@shugemery maybe your new cow can carry your backpack 😋
you bring us happiness Shug. Thank-you. Hammock advice is not bad too.
Mucho appreciato....
Thanks Shug, that is exactly the help I need when I need it. spent my first night out in a hennessy hammock last night and dang! the ridgeline was like steel! Gonna raise my tree huggers up the tree and let out my suspension. Thank you!
You got it. Suspension up the trees a bit. Hammocks take patience. Stay at it as the benefits are worth it.
Whoooooo buddy! Thanks Shug, if it weren't for you I'd still be sleeping on the ground like an animal! You truly do such a service with your infotainment videos and I'm grateful for finding you brother. Best of luck to Meg and her mom! And thank your for your service keeping us safe in Sector 7!
Thankee for the well wishes for them Chad.
Damn Shug, I have now have a whole new appreciation of your humor. That was GREAT! Cheers.
Thankee Matt~~
Thanks Shug. Love the green plaid shirt, brings out the ginger.
Ginger done gone ashy gray~~~~
I’ve missed you!
Never know how to respond to that. Thanks I reckon...
Bam was just lamenting a new video!! And here it is! awesome
Lament. Good word.
You mean lamenting the LACK of a new video but here it is ! Thanx Shug !
Thanks Shug! Great tip on the carabiner. Good luck to Meg and Meg's mom.
Thankee for the well wishes for them Pappy.
Wishing Meg quick recovery and all goes well!
Thankee for the well wishes.
Corn Snow! I have learned a new phrase today, thank you Shug! All the best to you and your family. We had a family member fall recently as well and this pandemic makes even normal support exceedingly difficult. Hope everyone recovers quickly.
Yessir...crunchy holy air filled snow remnants.
Perfect palaver, as always. I have new lenses in both eyes. One three years ago, one last December. It is a quick procedure, no pain, with remarkable results. Meg is gonna love the results. Sorry to hear about mom in law, that's rough. Cheers from Chicagoland!
Now she can see me clearly......uh oh!
Hope she has a quick recovery with her eyes and her mom gets better. From her in NC "Oh blessed there heart"
Yates is calling you. Be safe and blessed there in sector7
Thankee for the well wishes for them. Hickery will represent me by proxy.
Went out this last weekend. Eighteen F, coldest night for me yet. Wooki kept me warm, and the Walmart special 20 degree sleeping bag surprised me. But you can't keep your feet warm in sweaty socks. I'm finally convinced. Change your socks, folks.
True...fresh socks for sleep.
We'll keep your mother-in-law and Meg in our prayers. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. God bless and stay safe.
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
Best wishes for speedy recoveries all round Shug.
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
Look who reached 100K subscribers !! Congrats there Kemosabe ! (PARTY AT SHUG'S PLACE !!!) Hope all remains well with Meg's procedure. Give her a little pampering from the likes of us'ns too.
Covid really puts a damper on a good party. In time...in time....
Thanks for well wishes.
This has to be one of the best intro and outro on RUclips. Thanks for the tips and hope Meg and mom fully recovered soon.
Thankee.
Watching your videos has inspired me to change from a tent to a hammock. I bought a hennesy hammock from ebay, stock suspension.
I spent 3 hours trudging through the snow setting this thing up between different trees. Didnt matter how far they were apart or how high i put the straps. The hammock looked sad as it scraped the floor before i even sat in it. Trying trees further apart didnt help. Trying trees even further apart and my hammock was too short. I ended up having to leave before the sun went down because i had no other shelter and the snow was too deep to go to ground.
Looking back i suspect the trees i tried to use were too fat. I will try again this weekend
I'll offer this to give insight...ruclips.net/video/-Cvj0ISjzl8/видео.html
Hey Shug I just wanted to say I love your videos. I've been watching for 5-6 years and If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have gotten back into backpacking. You reinvigorated my love for the outdoors, and for that I say thank you.
Very glad to hear that for sure~~~~
Finnally found someone to explain the ridge line proper, easy, think I’ll get it now, mine was always to tight. Love ❤️ all your videos,great info. Thanks, new hammock user
Glad it gave insight.
I’m sorry to hear about the family health issues. All the best to all your best
Thanks for that.
Just spent my first night in a hammock last night. A cool 28° F here in Sweden, but I slept warm. Now I have to fine tune the ridgeline. It was tight as a drum but I'm feeling pretty lucky now that I found your new video to help me. Thanks for posting. All semi-secure here in Sector 43!
Glad to hear all that....enjoy the hammock quest.
Thanks Shug, great video. Informative, entertaining. Good man for putting family first. We are waiting out the brutal heat here in Florida. For those waiting for spring each year saying I wish it was hot ....believe me, you don't wish it was this hot!!
No doubt! You can have that Florida hot! We have had some good heat here in Minnesota but a cool front of late. Feels nice. I don't mind heat but the sun right on me is not my thing.
Good tips as always, went this last weekend and my ridgeline was pretty tight when laying in it. It caused some calf pain but it was my first time out in the xlc. Live and learn
Maybe this will give some insight....ruclips.net/video/cFHvX56ZKNs/видео.html
@@shugemery Thanks for taking the time to link that shug. Ill try some adjustments and maybe even add a pad for under my calfs.
Taking care of the fam. Good man Shug! That carabiner trick is pretty cool 😎
Thankee for the well wishes for them Steve.
Thanks for tips . I thought I had my ridgeline wrong because it was always in my face,no matter which hammock I was using. You are also a great family man. I really admire that !!!
On a side note I just found some madaglia'doro in a small grocery store here in New Hampshire. Had to grab a jar !
Hope it helps then. Thankee for the well wishes for them.
Be Awake~~
Dang got a lot of stuff going on shug. Sending positive thoughts and prayers for the family. Take care. All the best from Texas.
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
I love all your tips and tricks. You have learned me all i know about hammocks, and i love the tarp life. All the best to your wife and family.
Glad you are enjoying the hammock and Tarp Life.

Meg is going to be amazed at the brightness of colors etc after that surgery.
Going in the morning...getting both eyes done. Thanks.
Thanks Shug appreciate it. All the best for you and family.
Thankee for the well wishes for them. Glad you are enjoying your hammock. 99 time~~
Great video thanks for the help. Hope all gets well in the family.
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
Sorry to hear about the family. . . Prayers!

It's OK, I'm sending you two or three shovels of snow from Quebec! It feels good to hear that someone loves winter! Je t’embrasse xxx From Pickleball
If Winter is going to be here I want good winter. Raining today! Salut
@@shugemery Thank you! the rain you get at your house today will fall at my house tomorrow! Merci Shug prends soin de toi !
Very Good Shug! I love watching your videos especially after a long 10 hr day at work. Best wishes to Meg and Mom 🙏
I appreciate that. Mother in law is a bit serious. A lot of wait and see, Be well.
Great tips as usual. Prayers for your family.
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
Hey Shug, watched your videos for years and enjoyed them very much. Happy for your retirement but sorry I missed your performances . Wish your family the best, no worries with the cataract surgery, its amazing what they can do. Look forward to seeing more of you on the trail having breakfast from the hammock.
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
Great vid shug I wore my shug hoodie to six flags great adventure and ran into someone that recognized it also hope everything goes good with your wife's surgery
Wow...thanks for the support hoodie style~~~
Her eyes are doing great. Taking her to lens adjustment today.
Be safe. Enjoy your vids. My youngest daughter is a Minneapolis transplant from here in New Hampshire.

Good luck Meg and mom, good thoughts to you. Thanks for being you Shug!!! WB
Thanks for well wishes. I am I.
Oh no...Shug done gone plum snow crazy. 🤪 Take care of yourself and I wish the best for Meg and her mom too.
Thankee for the well wishes for them Grumpy....
Thank you Shug for this ridgeline vid. Hoping Meg's surgery goes well with a speedy recovery for her and her mom. Best wishes from western Wisconsin 😊
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
Good luck to your family. I hope everyone recovers well. Remember to take care of yourself too.
Thankee for the well wishes for them. Oh, I got myself covered. Painting, playing mandolin and Formula 1 racing starts soon!
Best wishes for your wife in all area's. ! My mother is 93 soon. ..I understand . it is difficult . taciturn ...great goal ! .
Thank you!
family does come first Shug and im throwing up some Prayers , GOD BLESS and i hope everybody is ok
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
thanks, Shug - always informational and additional to the other ones of yours I've watched. only a tiny bit of snow left in the SE corner of minniesoda - but as you said we will get more.
prayers for the family and you
Dang rain today!
Fine tuning that ridge line was always a bit of an issue. Great advice thanks Shug. Also learned a new term “corn snow” I dislike it too. ✌🏼
Yessir...crunchy holy air filled snow remnants.
Hi Shug,
I used the mini bina wrap, it made a huge difference, no longer garrotte myself.
Cheers fella from 🇬🇧 UK
Garrotte. Good word.
In Scotland, we have a description for the weather at the time of the year.
“Dreich “. Cold and gloomy.
It starts November and ends the end of October!
Best wishes to you and your family.
Stay crazy, fella.
We are having a Dreich today...rain and cold. Mud and ice.
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
Good luck for Meg with cataract surgery. My wife and I had that a couple of years ago and was very easy. Especially compared with the knee replacement surgery I had this fall.
Thanks for well wishes.
Sending well wishes for Meg and family...the piney woods will be waiting for your return!
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
After watching the end, I'm not certain it is all secure in sector 7. In all honesty I laughed out loud...great closing. Well done Shug.
Pandemic has me loopy......
Great info. Thanks Shug. Love the cowboy look. Good luck, Meg.
I ain't got no steed though. Thanks for well wishes.
I am looking forward to getting my hammock out this year.
Hope everyone gets better soon.
Thanks for the video brother
Hope it works out for ye'~~~~
Yes family comes first shug. I just lost my mother fed 27 she was 82 so with that being said enjoy the time with family ya never know and wonderful video
Sorry to hear that. Thankee for the well wishes for them.
@@shugemery wish I lived closer to ya would love to go hicking with ya you would be a great guy to just chill with.
Still got it. Bless this Shug.
Ain't got as much but still got some.
Gonna hang out a couple nights this weekend down here in wv. Probably send out a couple shug-isms, couple wooo buddies, secure the sector, etc. Thanks for being awesome.
Don't forget to let out a big comfort moan when you crawl in the hammock. Sound nice.
Praying for you and your family.
Thanks for well wishes.
Great video! Praying for your wife and mother in law
Thankee for that.
Heeyyy Shug!!! Always great to see another video! Looking forward to more. You’re 100% right, family first.
Thank you for the well wishes for them.
thanks for a great entertaining video hope is all well with you and your family big love from the UK
Cheers and thanks.
That cowboy section was nuts!!!
Thankee pardner.
Hoping the best for your family. Taking my daughter to eye Dr tomorrow too. Lens replacement is amazing. But at 10 yrs old, it scares me. Hoping to contemplate in my hammock soon. Best to you and the girls.
Best to you both. Hammock time.
Thanks for the tips Shug! All the best for you and the family. I went out on a tarp camping trip last weekend that you gave me inspiration to do on the Canoe Hounds interview, even tried out the Schwarze it is wildly handy. Had such a great time and kept the tarp propped open so I could watch the stars!
Love those lil' tables. Glad you find it handy.
I have missed you brother. I used to watch you everytime a video came out, and somewhere along the way I lost my connection with your channel. Might have been because I gave up on hammocks because I could never afford one and the gear to go camping... its been 8 years or more I have dreamt of it.
Anyway, I was watching the marine channel and he reminded me of you, and I had to look you back up. Watched your last few videos and will resub. Again, missin' your antics and your silliness. Your jokes are right up my old man ally lol. Take care and be safe - WOOOO BUDDAY!!
Ya' know you can get a hammock pretty cheap these days.....ruclips.net/video/b_56W3jdxbY/видео.html
Thank you and merci Shug for that carabiner trick at 7:00!
Righto~~~
I like that shirt, Shug! Great video! I thought of you this weekend when I did my first cold camp.. 15 degrees was a little more than I planned on, but it all turned out ok! Thanks for making me realize it was doable!
I enjoy that hue on the tee. Glad you got to the chill.
I came for the green flannel explosion but the carabiner wrap is a great tip. Thanks.
Simple and works.
Goody another shug video. Always a good way to end a long day. Keep em coming
Mucho appreciato~~~~
Hey shug great timing I actually need to change out a ridge line on a new hammock bought
@@thecodydyer mine came with shock cord got to fix that lol
The whoopie sling ridgelines are handy.
Hope all goes well with Meg’s eye surgery and well wishes for your mother-in-law’s recovery. Thank you for the video, I now have a better understanding of the nuances of the ridge line adjustment. You were looking a bit like Longmire in that cowboy hat!
Thankee for the well wishes for them.
Channeling that hidden cowpoke.
Best wishes for the family.
Thank you. Rough time for the family.
High definition has been kind to you sir. Good luck with the famil.
Thanks for well wishes.
Shug your rock! I wish you and your wife and her mom well.
Thanks for well wishes.
At 9:12, awwwww I missed those characters! I love this far west Clint Eastwood impression (is it?) and laughed hard when you said "spitting on the tripod".
Made my day Whoooooooo buddy and a fast recovery for Meg
Not really Clint but he is the quintessential cowboy...
Hey Shug, hope your wife and mother-in-law have a speedy recovery.
Thanks for well wishes.
Only good thoughts to Meg. I just found out that I have to have the same thing. Everyone says they are glad they did it but I can't get over some stranger putting tools in my eye?? I'm sure all will be fine AND good thoughts to Meg's mom as well. OH YEAH - the video was very informative toooooo! !! !!!
Thankee for the well wishes for them. And best to you. I'm going to get lazik later this year. Miss my good vision.
Very helpful Shug!! Im hitting Afton this weekend!!
Go get 'em!
I like the crampons! They have kept me upright on the ice all winter . . . better than sliding into 63 on my kester.
Now Shug, if you wear in the back yard to stay up right you should wear them on the trail too! We don't bend like we did when we did in 1990. ;>)
Go class of 58' !!!!!
I fell without them on an ice patch. Sorry the camera was not going!
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
Y'elcome and thankee.
This is brilliant. Now I have to do my research into hanging my hammock, which I haven't used in 2 years. I was hot tenting this weekend in 25 degrees with 25 mph winds. I accidentally burned my sleeping Pad on the stove and ended up trying to sleep on rocks. Sure missed my hammock!!
Always exciting when you have to improvise~~~~
I just spit on ya tripod had me rollin!
Love it.
I came here to say this, his concerned look down sold it and I nearly spit my Sun Drop out 😆
@@terrysmith1175 Sun Drop!
Best soda ever 😁
@@terrysmith1175 I can't drink it anymore and grew up drinking it. Makes my jaw pop!
Always a joy to watch Shug! Do tell what are those cool zipper pulls in the back there?
They are these un's....hammockgear.com/zipper-pull-single/
picture Sly Stalone, " All .... secure in sector 7 ' ... Thanks for sharing
I pictured him.
Almost pissed myself when you spit...lol! Ugly corn snow indeed. Cheers Mike.
Haaaaa.......
You a hoot like your advise about the ridge line, I’m your new subscriber!!! And your driving Miss Meg 😆😵💫🤓👍
Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))
Prayers and healing wishes for Meg and her momma.
You will get out on the trail soon. Messy/muddy season is not so fun for camping.
*hug*
Thanks for well wishes.
You really want to camp in that ice and mud. Hope to go soon nonetheless.
Cool trick with the carabiner , simple and effective. Prayers for mom and Meg. btw i am looking for your peanut butter chocolate pop "tearts" in the mom and pop stores around here, if i find some there yours.
Thankee for the well wishes for them. Gonna start making my own PB Pop Tarts. Thankee.
Berry interesting them Whoopies.
I got my right eye done a few years ago. It wasn't so much that cataracts was the problem, it was a bad lens. I didn't want to have to wear glasses to pass the driver's test. So same surgery. The actual couple of minutes that it takes to do the surgery was uncomfortable, ( they told me concentrate on my breathing to distract me from the discomfort). After that, no pain at all. Your eyes are the fastest healing organ in your body.
For maybe a week or two when I seen a bright light, ( like an on coming headlight), there was a star effect. that went away.
They have bifocal lenses now, but I was told they were annoying, so I went with a far lens and just use reading glasses, (which I now need for the other eye any way).
Meg will need to wear an eye patch to bed to keep her from accidentally scratching the eye for maybe a week. Some eye drops for maybe as long. Nothing horrendous. Tell her not to worry or stress. When my other eye clouds up eventually I will get it done.
At night, she will only be able to keep one eye on you. If she is getting both done at the same time, you are in even better shape.I have always been warned that I was on a slippery slope. Guess you too.
Thanks for all the info. Meg is having both eyes done Thursday.
Your gripes about the late winter in Minnesota sound awfully similar to my gripes about the Chicago area for most of the winter... No snow, no ice, plenty of mud. If we had snow that lasted for more than a few days at a time it might actually be worth it to take up some winter activities like cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, etc. If you're a fan of cold mud and dead grass, Chicago is the place to be from February till April.
Anyway... Thanks for the fixed RL adjustment tutorial, Shug. I'm still trying to sort that out a bit and maybe some of your advice in this video will help. 👍
Rain today!
Dont even have a hammock, ur videos just make me laugh 👍👍👍
Appreciate it.
man oh man you can even make ridge lines look sexy !!! ha ha.. been a big fan since a long way back , allways good to see ya mate... thanks for being you, cause when we are watching we are surfing a wave of awesomeness and the joy that you bring..thanks for making some sunshine in these, dreary times , even if it is as mundain as ridlines we do apprieciate it !! keeping the love and the faith of hammocking secured in all sectors , !! C YA RND ,, OUT...
I've had to suck it up to be positive myself. Thankee.
you know you inspired me go hammock camp for the first time and havnt looked back for real , so your apart of my life through hammocking and the forums but i never ever will forget the hickory bros. eating brains out a can , classic and the lightning ridge episodes , keep well good luck with the misses give her some exstra love after all shes put up with your shinanigans for so long she is worth it bro !!!thanks for the reply ...
Second winter comes TONIGHT!!!! Oh man sorry to hear about all the medial stuff... That is so tough! Prayers for a speedy recovery! You are welcome to the State park behind my place if you would like to get somewhere quite and close #freeparking. Cheers from Brainerd. Lols for the spit on the tripod!
Big all day rain here. This weather makes me NOT want to go camping. I'll just wait it out.
@@shugemery it's really gross here too..... I was thinking about trying to set up in this mess just to say I did... but I got lazy.
I like the green buffalo plaid,Brian.
Tribute to Myers Park.
i love that you took an extra minute to castigate yourself for being too verbose.
best wishes to your MIL and your wife for the extra stresses. take care, good sir.
Verbosity is my calling card. Thankee on the fam.
Everything will be OK !!!! !!!!!!
@@shugemery verbosity must be an Irish thing , I am guessing ,kind of like Blarney .
Love the cowboy! He might need some chew though. It would be fun if he joined you on a trip sometime. I imagine he might be amused by the Mapleking. :) Take care of the family and those krocus'es and all the other pretty stuff is coming soon!
The cowboy is a loner. Thankee feller.
Thanks for another vid .... family first.
Thankee Dan.
Best of luck to your wife. Love your vids but family always comes first. 👍
Thanks for well wishes.
