Couple of nights out up into the recently re-opened Boundary Waters Canoe Area out of Ely, Minnesota. Took the Snowbank Trail to Kekekabic Trail to Moiyaka Lake. Camped the night. Then did the Old Pines Trail back to Disappointment Trail. Camped. Then hiked out. Good couple of nights slumber in the SuperiorGear Starlite hammock. The ULA OHM toted my load wonderfully.

I’ve been watching for years. Learned about hammocks from you. A few years later, I was on a camping trip and met a woman struggling with her hammock. I taught her what I knew. Now, we’re married. Don’t think we’d have chatted had I not watched your channel!
I am pretty sure that is everybody's final thoughts about life ...man that went FAST!
Hammock Nuptial Fate!!!!
And your name is Chance, nice little story.
Total awesomeness!!
Congratulations!
Most excellent Shugrow! And God bless Kathleen … she didn’t stay long enough but I know she must have been a fun and a much loved part of the family!
Loved this trip! Thanks for bringing us along, I do so enjoy these little visits!
Thankee Kyle.
Shug I always love watching your long form videos. These near-hour long videos are super relaxing to me, and I just thoroughly enjoy seeing where you venture out to. It's surely a blessing to be able to experience the woods like that and I surely miss it. Glad to see another camp sesh from ya! Wooo buddy!
Fun to just let a trip play out as it rolls. Thankee.
My condolences to you and your family Shug. And thanks for your videos as I live vicariously through you while hanging in my garage in isolation recovering from a bad cold. Cheers!
Thank you for the sentiments.
“I reached up and touched him, and he died..” laughed more than I should. Love your adventures Shug.
I'm still giggling from that
He was a slow skeeter~~~
Ear' lyyyyyyy ! Getting my Shug on. Glorious ~ Just bought my first hammock. Thanks for the inspiration !
Enjoy the hammock groove. Be patient with it all.
For a brief glorious second, I thought the Maple King was going to make an appearance.
Me too. Haaa
@@shugemery with his permission, it'd be funny to see you do an impersonation of Hickory with one of those face printouts on a stick over your face kinda similar to what he does with the maple leaf over his face. Lol. Or just toy around with a whole harem of variants: Fir Friend, Piney Princess, Oak Oaf, or the Earl of Redwood, among other possibilities. 😉
Shug, thank you so much! I love your videos - makes me feel good!
Mucho thanks.
Nice video thanks. Deep thoughts with Shug 14:14 lol The (healthy) pop tart reaction was fantastic.
Thinking about coffee deeply....
Now that’s retiring well. Always appreciate the gratitude of the “WooBuddy!” I know He does as well.
It is a shout out to The Board~~!
Welcome back Shug. Hope Meg is doing well!
She is. Thankee.
Nary a soul, zero skeeters; it’s all gravy after that. Thanks for video Shug. ✌🏼🍃🍂
Never saw another hiker or canoe. Yes!
Once again, Mighty Fine! Thanks for taking us with ya. Excellent tribute to Marty. Thank You.
I love that WL UQ.
Guess the yootoob algorithm decided to grace me with a Shug video. Been a while. Did not disappoint.
I've been busy working on home chores. Thanks.
It is so great to see you back in the woods
Yes the best place to be is in the wilderness
Thanks for all you do to promote being outside
As always GODSPEED SIR
EDWARD
The woods are a refuge from the real world. Saw not a soul out there.
It's good to see you again and glad Meg is doing well stay healthy
We have even been playing badminton. Thanks.
Man, nobody can say early around me anymore without a reflexive early retort. Thanks for that. 😄
I try and internalize it on most days.
Long time watcher, first time caller, watched for years and love your content! The crunching, squeaking noise in the tree is a sawyer beetle larva. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Thanks for that info. Knew it was a beetle.
Still enjoy watching you after all these years. Shug, you are a master camper.
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Written on the filter is "open here." Cut open on that line for direct contact with the coffee, then pour over. Maybe next time, eh?
Ahhh haaa! Thanks.
At 30:33, I agree with you. Wild flowers bring little joys in life!
Thanks Shug. Your videos of your backpacking is good for the "Soul". Stay safe my friend.
My soul was in dire need of it.
Man I laughed so good when you took a bite of that healthy "pop tart", the look on your face 😆
I was trying to be subjective and not make too much sport of it. haaaaa
@@shugemery I applaud the subjectiveness applied but I have tried some of the healthy snacks as well and it is tough to hang in there on some.
Beautiful nights, still waters. Nice trip!
Truth! Thankee.
I've been getting cranky lately and watching this made me realize I need some alone time in the woods to recharge.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. I don't know why, but it just felt so good.
I hear you! I have had a low-level bit of anger and anxiety due to the state of affairs of the planet. Taking this trip released some of those feelings.
My condolences to you and your family Mr E.
Thank you for the sentiments.
Thanks Shug. September is my favorite month for the bwca. The evening serenity of the lake that first night looked magical. Always sad to see an old majestic pine go down. What tales that stoic sentinal could tell. Glad that the fires have allowed the reopening. After hearing about the fires an old friend commented, " it's like an old friend is in trouble and needs help."
Thanks for sharing and glad to hear Meg is on the mend. Peace mandolin brother.
Tough Nature year up there. I need to get the mando out and get to it. Not played all Summer as I had a wrist tendon problem.
Another great video! My husband and i enjoy watching and your life chats! So sorry to hear of your sisters passing.
Thanks you for the sentiments.
Hey Shug, so glad to hear you and Meg are doing well. I'm so sorry about your sister. Sending prayers.
Thanks so much for the good words.
I always enjoy your videos, Shug. It's great to see how much you enjoy doing all this... Thanks for sharing!
Thankee and thanks.
At 35:57....just...gorgeous! Whoooooo buddy! Thanks for those beautiful views
As usual I always enjoy your videos and your music, I gotta come see that part of the country.
Worth seeing for sure....
“So now it’s time to wash that down with a beef stick”
That one gave me the giggles! On every one of you trips the lakes and creeks make me long to fish them with the Tenkara poles, just hoping for some fresh trout. Nice report Shug made my afternoon.
Law Dawg (ret)
Law Dog! The beef stick sure did.
When I saw 3:46 am on the clock I automatically said "Early!" In my head. Lol... now back to the trailhead.
It was double EARLY!
46:50 I'm interested to try rolling my tarp and tie off lines before inserting them into my snake skins, as you did Shug! I'm always watching others' tricks of the trade to improve my own. Thank you!
I like my skins for that. Righto~~
52 minutes of serenity...thanks Shugg... I needed that. :-)
I too needed it. Thankee.
Watching you "enjoy" the healthy pop-tart was very enjoyable to watch for me.
Too HEALTHY~~!!! Pop Tarts are supposed to be bad for a feller!!
Oh I laughed so hard throught the hippie pop tart. The looks on your face said it all.
I was trying to hold it together!
Shug, sure enjoyed spending time with you over the years. Even if I can’t share your fire, I’ve shared your time. All my best…….friend!!!
Well....no fire to share on this one anyways! haaaaa
Thank you enjoyed your camping trip! I feel very relaxed now💝
Appreciate it~~
Knowing when to fold up and go...........priceless, did that on a 5 nighter in Aug, turned into 2 nighter Thanks for the trip Shug. Nice shot of the Wolf..!
I camp enough that it is no big deal. My couch was calling out to me~~~~~
Wow! That scenery at 9:46, magique! And your thumbnail would make a great painting!
I'll be painting again this Winter. Summer is home chore time!
Thank You for taking us along.
Glad yo have ya'....
The Shug is back, and out in the back.... Country...... Haha! Rainy hikes are the best
Too true. And never saw a soul out there.
DAAANG MR. EMERY I HAVE MISSED YA! Things happen, changes come and still, here we are. WOOO BUD-DAY!!
Needed by Meg for a long spell and went into beast home chore mode!!!!
We could smell wisps of the wildfires from Minnesota in the U.P. a month ago when the wind shifted from the NW. I saw on my weather app a new wildfire 17 miles north of my cabin so I hopped on my motorcycle to scope it out. I was happy to discover there was no trace of a wildfire that I could find. What beautiful weather and the trees are turning early (early!) here also.
I smelled no fires and the maples were so nice and red.
So sorry for your loss Shug! May she rest in peace.
Thank you for the good thoughts.
“Not worth the calories right now”. That was a glowing endorsement. Bobo should sponsor this video😉
I was making a bit of sport of those pop tarts. They were not all that bad .....just tasted way too healthy-ish for my morning groove. Next time 4"s of Nutella on top.
I was thrilled to see the bell announcing a new Shug video! Seems like it’s been a tough year, and I’m thankful that you brought us along while you escaped for a little woody serenity for the soul.
Never know what a year will bring you. The woods does have a soul-healing essence.
Glad to see you and Meg doing well!
Thank you for another great video.
Gotta be a pickin video coming soon!
Meg is doing mighty fine. She is so happy!!!!
I have not picked much at all this Summer. Had some wrist tendon trouble so packed it away a while. Hope to get back to it this Fall.
Good trip Shug, I was in my hammock last night. Nice to be out and about. Thanks for showing us and take care.
Whoooooo Buddy))))))
Looking good, Shug. Always enjoy your videos. My condolences for you loss.
Thankee and I appreciate the sentiments.
Awesome Shug. Thank you.
Whoooooo Buddy Yo!
I'm late " not early" to watch your new video! I caught a nasty cold and now I'm finally starting to feel better. This was a peaceful backpacking trip for you up to the BWCA. Great video again Shug 👍😀
It was peaceful. Always forget how rocky that trail is. Not a lot of smooth walking. Volley ball size slippery rocks everywhere so it takes some focus.
Shug very sorry for your loss. thanks for the great adventure.
Thank you for the sentiments.
The pop tart company needs to bring back the peanut butter pop tarts. I also use them for backpacking with my son's boy scout troop. Love the video Shug. Whoo hoo buddy.
So true! It is Pop-Tarp Cancel Culture!!!!!
Very cool trip. Enjoyed watching the entire thing.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching my fun.
Great to see that face again.
I’m very sorry for your loss. ✌🏽❤️
Thanks for those sentiments.
Love videos sometimes I’ll watch them twice. Love You Brother
Aw shucks....thankee.
Good to see you out on the trail. Mosquitoes weren't really a problem all summer long -- including my Boundary Waters canoe trip which was cut short partly due to the closure. No skeets, one of the few benefits of a drought. Maybe the only benefit?
I do think so.....
Getting ready to hang for 5 days coming up next week!
Good to hear the wife is getting around again.
Have a right goodie of a 5. Thankee...good to have her back!
This is my first fall in Minnesota. I hope it's not too dull. I've been anticipating this for a while. 😏😟
Nature is tough to predict. Looked good to me up there.
Thanks, Ginger; you persnickety fellow. 👏
As he is!
Thanks for the video, always a pleasure to watch. My condolences on your loss.
Appreciate that.
Mes condoléances to you also, Shug
@@mat-ventures Merci.....
Fabulous video, Shug. Glad to hear Meg is doing well.
She is and we are even back to playing badminton.
Great to see that new video it made my night much love
Righto. Glad it did.
Glad to have you back Shug!
Been working on my home a lot. slowing down on You Tubes. Thankee.
So come back to SC and hike the Foothills Trail again. Love to have you back in our neck of the woods, and we have plenty of water still! 🤪
Would be nice to see it again....
Just what I wanted to watch! Thankee , my dude.
Boom!
Hey Shug, I've just got into Hammock camping, so I have been re -watching your videos and finding some I've never watched
You're hilarious and I can't imagine what it's like to know you personally.
I'm going on a five day camping trip to Tennessee in Oct. and I grabbed a few things from Sierra Madre Research on their Labor day sale and bought two Puffles, which are very versatile puffy quilts, can be a sleeping bag, Top quilt or under,
Very impressed with their gear. Take care Shug WoooBuddy!!
Enjoy your hammock quest. Good trip to ye'>>>>
.thank you so much for the nice video. I have not walked those trails. I ave been on Snowbank, Parent, Disappointment, Kek, Spoon, Knife,Vera, Ensign and several other little one up that way about three times or so. I tend to drift over to the western area of the BWCA more these days.
Just got home from a week on the Moose River up to Lac La Croix and back. Good times, two Bears and good country.
Whoooooo Buddy)))) Nice to get a week.
Thanks for another great video, Shug. I really needed this one! I've been stuck doing minimal stuff the last month. Blood pressure got completely out of control, now on the second medication and finally starting to get some results.
Hoping to head up and do some of the ice age trail next month. Had to put bwca hiking off until next year.
Take care and hope you get out soonest.
@@shugemery thank you, sir. It was like my body just quit responding to that medication that works so well for several years.
35:35 glorious sunset
@@shugemery and I just caught the end of the video. Sorry, Shug.
Great video! As usual. Thanks Shug.
Y'elcome and thankee.
I’m going to have to practice making coffee while in the hammock. It looks amazing.
Sipping coffee from the hammock is my top priority out there~~
Sorry we lost Gordy from the Hi-Hat drive-in this July.
A good fellow. Best burgers, shakes and fish baskets for many, many miles.
Yes. And Gordy's was closed for the season as I drove by.....
Shug, the top of the filter for that pour over is supposed to be ripped open to reveal the coffee directly. Then pour. Blamo.
Loved the video btw. These longer ones are great. A little extra shug is always appreciated. Got my wife and kids watching with me lol
Ahhh....now I know. Still was good. I dunked it some!
The Masters of reality. Informational and amazing.
Whoooooo Buddy))))
You are spot on about the disappointment mountain comment, Shug. It certainly is no disappointment to us here in MN. Makes me think of when my grandpa use to visit from Washington state though. He’d always tease me if I mentioned some place like eagle mountain, mount Josephine, Carlton peak etc. Gramps would always say “so that’s way they named this place “Minny” Sota😂
Minnesota has a special beauty up there.
Great to see you Mr. Shug!
There I was~~~ Whoooooo Buddy))))
Great to see you out again !!!
Was mighty fine to be out....
I've been waiting for the next video because I know all is well. Glad to watch!
Been busy around the home choring.
This Covid year had presented it's challenges. Glad Meg is getting better, and glad you got back on the trails! I can smell the fall air in your video. Looking forward to getting out on Crown land in Ontario Canada with my hanging buddies in a few weeks. Thanks for the hard work Shug! 👍
Covid has worn us all down a bit. Be gone damn Covid!!!!!!
Thanks for taking us along, Shug. Always good to see you up in the piney woods.
You betcha and thankee.
Shug - so good to see you back in the "piney woods" and glad to see that Meg is doing well. Been following your videos since the beginning and they always bring a smile to my face. Loved the look on your face when you took a bite of that "pop tart". Happy trails!
Thankee. Meg is back!
Nice trip, Shug. So sorry for your loss. May you have a good Fall.
Thank you for that.
Good to see you enjoying the outdoors again. It is always so much better with no or only a few bugs. Enjoy the coming season along with your coffee.
🦟🍁☕️🇨🇱
I enjoyed the bees. Glad to have just one skeeter.
Nothing like a Minnesota fall. Been in California for 20 years now but come September I yearn for the cool days and fall colors. Thanks for sharing! 👊
It was nice to see up there.
I love the Boundary Waters in September. I got my permit for mid-late September this year when the fall leaves are in all their glory.
Aye! Glory~
Good to see you, Sean!
Righto~~~
Wow, the smiley organiser in the sunset at 12:48 is another great view!
Thanks for the vid.
You always make me smile and laugh!
I only got up to the N. woods once this year. Now would be a great time to be up there.
Sorry for your loss of your Sis.
Peace and love ❤️
Great time and thanks for the sentiments.
Great to see you post a trip always look forward to your outings!
Appreciate that.
Sympathizing. The fires here in California in the last few years have made the end of summer/early (EARLY!) fall a no go for outdoor pursuits. Only one hammock camping trip this summer for me. Hoping to get in some camping before snows-if it does snow. Love that you take us along!
Nature was a bit angry in our States to say the least.
Loved the Ginger Baker drop in.
Ahhh the cantankerous Mr. Baker.
Shug we are the same age and have very similar interests and similar humor. Although I have talked of getting a Jeep I have not gotten one yet. I am glad you finally came over to the canoe side of the wilderness experience. I mostly do canoe camping on sandbars in Texas and love my hammock. All my kids are hammock campers as well. I really enjoy watching your videos and I get/understand your humor (early, breaking wind, etc) much to the amusement of my kids and wife that just don't seem to get it. They always ask what is so funny about his humor or that's strange and I just shrug my shoulders and say I cant explain it. Wishing you well, and many long and healthy years.
Righto....humor is subjective. I for one don't really enjoy joke jokes. Odd stuff makes me laugh. Thankee~~~~
I'm constantly cracking up out loud and the wife and daughter don't get it. Weird. How can you not get it. Hilarious!
@@rimcountryoutfitters It ain't for them....it is for you! Haaaaa
eff Bobo's. :) Heading into the bush Wednesday, EARLY. Excited.
Bobo will get another go with 5 inches of Nutella on top. Have a right goodie of a trip.
We just got back and had a wonderful time. We laughed our heads off about your Papillion riff. And we did have Pap Tyarts, but no Bobo's. :)
Hey, Shug, thanks for bringing us along. Filthy weather here in Bama...humid, rainy and alot o' bugs. Get ate up each time I let the dogs out for sure. Waiting on October b4 spending any time over night outside...before huntin' season, lol. Gotta paini "cow" on the side of the bovine, lol. Love you, bigly.
Won't be long I hope you get some cool and no bugs.
I enjoyed your adventure!!.....
Thankee.
Its good to see you back on the trail. I'm looking forward to getting out on the trail this fall and winter myself. My wife and used to go backpacking with hammocks, now its lots of car camping with a big tent. Like most of my friends tell me, this is what happens when you have small children. I still get out with my hammock every chance I get, and I'm especially looking forward to my annual new years eve trip.
Nothing wrong with car camping at all and so much easier with kids. We did it all the time when my daughter was young.
Just started watching you. New to Backpacking/Hammock camping etc. You are terrific man!!! Frozen mentioned you so I had to check you out. I so enjoyed this video. Thank you for making it and I will be checking out the others...both past and future ones. Happy Trails
Thanks for the good words...and to Frozen.
