    Shug, great video as always but of course I have a Paul Bunyan axe to grind. You have never claimed to be a Minnesota native but you have been here long enough to know that you can't feature someone from Iowa and not throw some shade. You have been here long enough you should be a native...I just got my credentials and I've been here since 89....some examples of shade: 1) What does IOWA stand for?...Idiot out Wandering Around or I owe the world an apology. 2) What is the best thing to come out of Iowa?...I35 north and Majestic Hammocks. Did Kory bring you some I-Chops or Pie....next time he better!

    Shug, nice to see you and Kory out hammock camping together. As you mentioned, it's not every day you get the opportunity to hang and hobnob with the creator of your hammock! I too have a Majestic hammock, which I throughly enjoy! It is my every day go to hammock. From chilling on my deck to tossing in a daypack and hiking into the woods or state park to hang and read. Thanks for the video as always :) Side bar: Kory, love the UGQ t-shirt, way to support Chad!

    I must Say Kory Knocked it out of the park with his hammock. I sleep in a hammock Every night for 7 years now, My One Wind fell apart, I try not to use my Camelin for everyday use. Kory made something with almost no calf ridge and very reduced shoulder squeeze. I just love it. Best hammock I ever had. The Dutch wear Cameleon is still the best for camping though with the zipper bug net and the side car, Side sling, adapter, Peak cargo storage. Thanks Kory.
