Thank you Shug, for all your work, personality and attitude that you give so naturally! You are an inspiration and a wonderful encouragement. Big love from Quebec Canada! Thanks again for sharing, you are a gift!
Hi Shug, just started hammocking this year after several years on the ground...50 now, and definitely like the air. You deserve some kind of reward my man for all the amazing content you have here. Thanks for making things easier for me (and what looks like 60k or so others lol). Just subscribed today, thanks for all that you do!
Thanks for all of your videos. I watch, learn, and can't wait for the snowpack to get down a little in the Sierras so my daughter and I can try our 1st overnight in the snow. Thanks again!
Really enjoyed this video, and I especially like the way you talk. Mmmhmm. The line "There's an ear in there and a snoot and a snout" literally had me laughing to tears. Thank you!
I second that, I too am heading out this weekend, Louisville Swamp for an overnighter and would love to know how the pancakes go. pancakes from the hammock, may be too good to be true.
What I really like to do is put in a half sandwich size baggie is dehydrated hummus. Sometimes it's hard to find but Winco on the west coast has it in bulk or sometimes on Amazon. I put just enough in for 2 tortillas. I add water to the baggie (NOT TOO MUCH!), squish it around, cut or tear the corner with your teeth and you can squeeze the hummus on the tortilla. Occasionally I'll add dehydrated tomatoes (not to much! ass burn, as they say) or some olives that come in a foil packet. Great first or second lunch!! ~Dos
I camp with my truck now days I can't hike any more but I still love getting out so I bring all kinds of stuff with me me and the grandkids are working on a cabin out in the woods we enjoy it it's fun to have them with me I appreciate you sharing with us you take care until next time
Hey Shug, Have you tried the breakfast biscuits called belVita? They're in the cookie section of the grocery stores. They have a peanut butter sandwich one that's pretty good. Thanks for sharing with us and have a safe and fun trip my friend. Lookin forward to da overnighta wit da hammuk man! LOL...
I love your humor love the deliverance of your presentation your facial.expressions and animated voices and info in general ......the music tbe unicycl all part and partial to great times and back yard hanging out or the hikes and camping great stuff from dundas ontaruo farthest wezt end of lake ontario
Down here in Iowa....as the snow fell I told my wife "I bet there's some folks heading out to Yellow River State Forest tonight to hang their hammocks"!......and with the same thought, I knew this weather would be too good for you to resist, haha. Thanks for the tips, I'm heading to the Boundary Waters in September, and I just want to say thank you for rekindling my interest in wilderness adventures, your videos have really helped me find that confidence again:-).
Nothing wrong with that menu at all. It's refreshing how down to earth you are. Too many people online that tell us there's only one way to do things..lol.
This is a great and simple for food planning my boyscout troop is planning our first backpacking weekend will be showing them ''tis so the can see how simple it is thanks again for the good info
war bonnet blackbird... check packit gourmet... check Shug shirt... check kids conned into taking me hiking. .. check can't see to drive anymore but I am determined not to let that stop me. lol Thank you for your inspiration, information, and great sense of humor.
That, is, a lot, of breakfast. When you finally said "and that's my breakfast" I had to redwing it just to make sure I heard it correctly! So, you're telling me that you have 2 pop tarts, 3 pancakes, 2-3 slices of bacon, and 2 packs of outmeal!!!!!! That's what I would usually eat in a full day of camping (except the bacon-I'm vegetarian). Any way, great video
Very similar food styles. My favorite first breakfast is eggs in a bag. At home break 2-4 eggs into a heavy duty quart zip top bag. In second zip top bag put omelet stuff you like, for me its crumbled up bacon, shredded cheese, chives and a packet of hot sauce. Put egg bag in the other bag and pack. The next AM pour 1 bag into the other, squish up everything to mix it, then pop it into boiling H20. After the egg has formed a skin, pull the bag out and apply pressure to it to pop the egg like a zit, then back into the H20 to finish cooking what came out.... Very yummy and it'll keep for a day or two before cooking.
YOU ROCK! I just found your channel. I'm not a backpacker, but I'm going to do some minimalist motorcycle trips (1-3 days). I am considering Hammock sleeping. But have never slept in a hammock. I'm going to do a Back Yard trial, your Hammock vids are the bomb, and you have some great ideas, very helpful, thanks! And you're funny! (But looks aren't everything! HAHA!). Cheers from Michigan!
UPDATE: I've been hammock camping since I originally replied to this post (over a year ago). I love it. I even keep a cheapo hammock with those quick-straps in my motorcycle bag at all times! I stop and toss it up for a nap from time to time. Even at a rest stop once. - The attendant came and told me "there is no camping at the rest area". HA! I'm just taking a short break, I told him. Also, Pancakes. in a bag, GREAT IDEA! I used my vacuum sealer, it worked out pretty well! Thanks Sean!
On my thru hike I had a few care packages 📦 that were sent to me on the trail with well cooked bacon and sausage vacuum sealed. Worked out great! 😀👍🌳🔥⛺️ right on Shug! Woo buddy! Yer food bag sure does look good with mustard hmmm hmmm 😀
Took your advice on the Packit Gourmet items and they were amazing. Wife and I did some trail magic handing out some varieties when on the AT a couple of weeks ago. Chicken and Dumplings and State Fair Chili were big hits. We will be packing some on our first ever SHT hike in early October, Onion River to Temperance River. Thanks for all the advice and videos!!!
Dollar Tree sells Bacon Jerky, basically pre cooked bits of bacon in small resealable pouches. One bag will provide enough for two small omelettes, or add to grits, dehydrated mashed potatoes, or make one decent sandwich. Not slices, but small pieces. Big Lots has individual slice of Spam in a foil pouch. I pack small tortilla shells instead of bread. Nice vids!
Another great one, shug! Love the vids, especially when it's been months since I've been out camping myself. I'm envious of the 'breakfast in the hammock' idea. I'm way too much of a slob, too worried about spilling on myself. That of course requires that I get out, get dressed, get COLD, and then make breaky!
Like your earth sack.! The last group backpack trip the weekend after thanksgiving 2018 was freezing rain. Two others hung their food in a tree, and in the morning, couldn't get it down because the rope froze to the tree. If it wasn't for the skid of left over lumber for the shelter at the tree, they would of never gotten their breakfast down. ROFL. THinking back, a bear would of used the wood pile to get their food too. ;-)
You gonna take that Circuit out for a spin Shug? Hope you have a safe trip. I'll be in your pocket for most of the trip. Hope to be on a ramble myself in a few days. Finally got a few days of cold in the South. Keep Sector Seven secure.
Shug, I've enjoyed watchedpping all your vid & thought you should know I watch them & frequently refer back to them to refresh myself before a trip. The number of likes and comments don't really convey how important you are to us. THANKS,
Enjoy your stroll, we are in the middle of a 20" snow event here in the keystone state. No hiking for me today. This storm will put Dutch a day behind in Chameleon production! LOL
I suppose I'll ask the question on everyone's mind; if given the opportunity, would you be willing to be the first person to hammock on Mars? Love the simplicity you role with. Growing up a tent camper, meals usually required a Coleman two-burner stove. I look forward to the trip, Shug! Happy hiking, stay safe!
Thanks, Shug! I just found Justin's maple & almond butter packets in my local Safeway store. My goodness those are addicting....I've listened to you talk about how good those Justin peanut butter packets are for an easy snack while hiking. Had to try for myself....whoa...so good!
Great stuff, Shug. For me it's Tea..Porridge . Hammock nap then coffee and a CO CO bar of my choice like the magnum peanut butter bars right now Mmmmm MMM
Shugg, as much as I appreciate your videos, I gotta say... with a little effort, you could produce a lot less trash und use our earth' resources smarter, I am sure you have the wits and the heart for it! Best wishes from the mountains 😘
For holding your coffee, check into tupperware at 2nd hand stores. I got several 1 ounce lidded containers for holding my tea and coffee. less plastic baggies, less chance of it getting ripped and waste and the tupperware if it gets mangled, Tupperware replaces it free of charge.
I am a cyclist and I’ve always wanted to find a way to take extra servings of my electrolyte powder on my 100mi races. Thanks to you, Shug, I have found a simple solution to that problem!! Your Me-da-glee-ah-do-ro method has more applications than you think 😜
Shugemery, I have been watching hours upon hours of backpacking related topics from all different youtube channels and just stumbled upon yours. I must say you have more personality than the whole lot of them combined. You are funny as all get out. These younger youtubists can't hold a candle to you.
Look into getting a vacuum sealer thingy. They work well to make these pouches you can heat submerged in hot water. You can even do a sort of "canning" procedure with them. It should make little difference whether or not you use glass mason jars or a plastic food safe bag to cook, sterilize or in the end heat the food up. I use a vacuum sealer and some slightly heavier duty plastic food safe cooking bags to cook some things sous vide (look that one up while you are at it...you won't regret it..) Also a dehydrator could work well for preparing meal pouches. You could dry the ingredients (veggies and even meats) and cook/rehydrate them on the trail. Could be done if factory made pouches work...
I'm just getting into backpacking/hiking/camping and I actually found this video to be really encouraging! Thank you! Now I'll feel no shame over bringing my Norwegian version of Mountain House and a large bar of chocolate and all the coffee I can muster :D
I'm the same way Shug. At home I eat healthy for the most part. On vacation when I camp out I eat all the stuff that's bad for your arteries. Everything in moderation...
I have a couple of ursacks. Love them for my canoeing trips where I feel they rock.. I've brought one on my multi-day hikes and think it's okay - but a weight penalty. I like the Zpacks food bag better for hiking - but that's just me. YMMV.
shugemery unless you don't hang it. I never hang. i just tie it to a tree like I do the ursack. Never had an issue. I.am more concerned with mice, squirrels and pine martens than I am with bears.
Yup Packet Gourmet has some good choices for chow. Ive been using them and some others and mix them up to make a very nice dinner and desert combo. Good to go, Omeals( which are like MTRE's except taste way better), Paleo Meals just to name a few have different meal choices and really set you up for success for the next day with all the nutrients you need. And for those who don't know, The Ursack is not approved for all areas as a Bear proof container. Check you local Ranger for more info. Thanks Shug, I really enjoyed that vid.
This guy needs to be recognized as a national hero.
Shug, you rock. Thank you for sharing.
Correction: INTERNATIONAL hero.
Correction: INTER-GALACTIC Hero. Thanks Shug!
I freaking love your "Slingblade" impressions!
Yess'm. We done made friends....uhmhmmm
Never get tired of hearing you say "Me-da-glee-ah-do-ro"
I like saying "Me-da-glee-ah-do-ro".
Weekend Wanderer ditto!
or cocoa
Great video! Do you eat out of your pot or do the freezer bag cooking? Also, you should try the Cafe Bustello coffee singles. They're pretty good too.
I eat out of my pot. Cafe Bustello is my second choice brew...Medaglia D'oro is my first choice. Both fun to say though.
Thank you Shug, for all your work, personality and attitude that you give so naturally! You are an inspiration and a wonderful encouragement. Big love from Quebec Canada! Thanks again for sharing, you are a gift!
Salut!
Hi Shug, just started hammocking this year after several years on the ground...50 now, and definitely like the air. You deserve some kind of reward my man for all the amazing content you have here.

Thanks for all of your videos. I watch, learn, and can't wait for the snowpack to get down a little in the Sierras so my daughter and I can try our 1st overnight in the snow. Thanks again!
I hope to hike out there someday.
Really enjoyed this video, and I especially like the way you talk. Mmmhmm. The line "There's an ear in there and a snoot and a snout" literally had me laughing to tears. Thank you!
Yessir....thankee then.
Awesome packing ideas! Can't wait to see how the pancakes come out; have a great trip!

No...not all at the same time. That is a few days breakfast.
@@shugemery Oh right. My confusion.

Very yummy and it'll keep for a day or two before cooking.
Captain K-man using freeze dried egg might work well, also. I'm going to try it both ways. good suggested method.
YOU ROCK! I just found your channel. I'm not a backpacker, but I'm going to do some minimalist motorcycle trips (1-3 days). I am considering Hammock sleeping. But have never slept in a hammock.

Love all those things but I have to carry a buffet of Clif bars. Have a great trip!
They are a meal in themselves.
Thanks for the espresso tip! Hiking just got even better. Rock on.
Be Awake!
You have me hooked on Penutbutter PopTarts. As I always say ; thank you for letting me see the world through your eyes.
I do like them too.
On my thru hike I had a few care packages 📦 that were sent to me on the trail with well cooked bacon and sausage vacuum sealed. Worked out great! 😀👍🌳🔥⛺️ right on Shug! Woo buddy! Yer food bag sure does look good with mustard hmmm hmmm 😀
Bet those were great days::::
shugemery for sure! Can't wait for the next long hike.
“They weave dreams into it”. Lol. You are now my favorite RUclipsr.
Whooooooo Buddy)))))
Took your advice on the Packit Gourmet items and they were amazing. Wife and I did some trail magic handing out some varieties when on the AT a couple of weeks ago. Chicken and Dumplings and State Fair Chili were big hits. We will be packing some on our first ever SHT hike in early October, Onion River to Temperance River. Thanks for all the advice and videos!!!
Great to hear that. That is a good stretch of the SHT.
Shug, I bought your shirt and hope to run into you wearing it around, let's say, LLC. Much love. Whoo Buddy!
I thankee for that.
Good to see at last. Will take some of those ideas and incorporate for my trip in a few months. Great stuff and Atb
Thank you.
Heh, just ran into a couple of your fans tonight on another channel. You gettin' famous, Shug!
Wow! Thankee.
Thank you shug, this made me both hungry and ready for the snow to melt in the north country!
Thankee.
Thanks for the food bag tour!! Excellent!
Y'elcome
Good thoughts on prepping your food! I like the precooked bacon idea! Cheers, Marc
Easy and good.
I love the idea of a bear pinata. Again I have got some nice ideas from you, I like the look of the peaches and cream oats. Thank you for the tips.
Yessir!
Dollar Tree sells Bacon Jerky, basically pre cooked bits of bacon in small resealable pouches. One bag will provide enough for two small omelettes, or add to grits, dehydrated mashed potatoes, or make one decent sandwich. Not slices, but small pieces. Big Lots has individual slice of Spam in a foil pouch. I pack small tortilla shells instead of bread. Nice vids!
thanks for the intel.
Great system shug. Packed many meals in similar fashion. My camping friends used to say he won't stave to death laughing at the size of my meal pack.
Why be hungry...right?
Thanks Shug! That is one thing I always like to learn more of and that's what different people bring for food so thanks for this video
Y'elcome.
Another great one, shug! Love the vids, especially when it's been months since I've been out camping myself. I'm envious of the 'breakfast in the hammock' idea. I'm way too much of a slob, too worried about spilling on myself. That of course requires that I get out, get dressed, get COLD, and then make breaky!
You gotta lean out!
Like your earth sack.! The last group backpack trip the weekend after thanksgiving 2018 was freezing rain. Two others hung their food in a tree, and in the morning, couldn't get it down because the rope froze to the tree. If it wasn't for the skid of left over lumber for the shelter at the tree, they would of never gotten their breakfast down. ROFL. THinking back, a bear would of used the wood pile to get their food too. ;-)
So far so good with the ursack. I could see that line freezing like that.
Packit Gourmet has some great food stuff. Yes, it is a Texas product. fun video thanks.
For sure. Nice folks.
"Packitgourmet... They Weave Dreams Into It" I'm sold. I honestly clicked away at that moment to check out their site. LOL!
I always dream well after eating them on the trail.
You gonna take that Circuit out for a spin Shug? Hope you have a safe trip. I'll be in your pocket for most of the trip. Hope to be on a ramble myself in a few days. Finally got a few days of cold in the South. Keep Sector Seven secure.
Just did. Loved it.
I have the "Purdy Boil" mug in gray... Love it. Great information my friend. Thank you.
Thankee for that.
Shug, I've enjoyed watchedpping all your vid & thought you should know I watch them & frequently refer back to them to refresh myself before a trip. The number of likes and comments don't really convey how important you are to us. THANKS,
Thankee feller.
Enjoy your stroll, we are in the middle of a 20" snow event here in the keystone state. No hiking for me today. This storm will put Dutch a day behind in Chameleon production! LOL
Thankee
"They weave dreams into it" Brilliant!!!
Recommend polenta grits (1/4cup) and 3/4 cups of water. I add bacon bits and red peppers to the dry grits and vacuum seal. Great stuff
Yum!
I suppose I'll ask the question on everyone's mind; if given the opportunity, would you be willing to be the first person to hammock on Mars?
Love the simplicity you role with. Growing up a tent camper, meals usually required a Coleman two-burner stove. I look forward to the trip, Shug! Happy hiking, stay safe!
I'd like to be the 77th person there.
shugemery assuming 76 return all secure!
My mama didn't use those fancy plastic bags.... She wrapped my PB&J in waxed paper. Great video and have a safe trip
Haaaa....mine too really! Wax paper is what I still use for my PB&J for the road.
Congrats on 60,000 sir well deserved.
Thank you.
Thanks, Shug! I just found Justin's maple & almond butter packets in my local Safeway store. My goodness those are addicting....I've listened to you talk about how good those Justin peanut butter packets are for an easy snack while hiking. Had to try for myself....whoa...so good!
Nice to keep one in your pocket for a quick boost.
Great stuff, Shug. For me it's Tea..Porridge . Hammock nap then coffee and a CO CO bar of my choice like the magnum peanut butter bars right now Mmmmm MMM
Sounds very good.
I turned up my volume and kept looping this video at 10:08 my wife and kids came in and were cracking up. lol.
cocoa!
Great video shug I all ways think easy tasty warm simple.
keep up the great videos Atb jam.👍 whoo buddy 😊
Thank you.
my SHUG sticker arrived today...cant wait to get my shirt! :)
I so happy. Thanks and Whoooooo Buddy))))
Shugg, as much as I appreciate your videos, I gotta say...
with a little effort, you could produce a lot less trash und use our earth' resources smarter, I am sure you have the wits and the heart for it!
Best wishes from the mountains 😘
Righto.
For holding your coffee, check into tupperware at 2nd hand stores. I got several 1 ounce lidded containers for holding my tea and coffee. less plastic baggies, less chance of it getting ripped and waste and the tupperware if it gets mangled, Tupperware replaces it free of charge.
Thankee. The plus to the wee baggies are they don't take up much room in my morning breakfast pack.
Ecologically...great idea.
I am a cyclist and I’ve always wanted to find a way to take extra servings of my electrolyte powder on my 100mi races. Thanks to you, Shug, I have found a simple solution to that problem!! Your Me-da-glee-ah-do-ro method has more applications than you think 😜
I feel ya!!!! nod wink.
Great video Shug!
Thankee.
I love the playing at the end. Thanks for the vid
That feller. Love that tune. Working at it a while.
Pringles rock. I also enjoy the PikNik shoestring potatoes. No need to crush, less dust.
Ahhh....those!
Pop tarts are one of my 4 favorite survival foods along with ramen, hot dogs and a good PB&J sammich...
You got good taste!!!!
Shugemery, I have been watching hours upon hours of backpacking related topics from all different youtube channels and just stumbled upon yours. I must say you have more personality than the whole lot of them combined. You are funny as all get out. These younger youtubists can't hold a candle to you.
Thanks for the nice words. Whooooooo Buddy))))
Look into getting a vacuum sealer thingy. They work well to make these pouches you can heat submerged in hot water. You can even do a sort of "canning" procedure with them. It should make little difference whether or not you use glass mason jars or a plastic food safe bag to cook, sterilize or in the end heat the food up.
I use a vacuum sealer and some slightly heavier duty plastic food safe cooking bags to cook some things sous vide (look that one up while you are at it...you won't regret it..)
Also a dehydrator could work well for preparing meal pouches. You could dry the ingredients (veggies and even meats) and cook/rehydrate them on the trail. Could be done if factory made pouches work...
I used to but don't really want to do any extra work these days. I love the Packitgourmet meals.
I'm just getting into backpacking/hiking/camping and I actually found this video to be really encouraging! Thank you! Now I'll feel no shame over bringing my Norwegian version of Mountain House and a large bar of chocolate and all the coffee I can muster :D
I say eat what make you happy and gives you energy to be out there.
I agree! Had some really amazing coffee from the hammock this morning. No brrreakfast from the hammock, unfortunately, as my oatmeal failed... #noob
I'm the same way Shug. At home I eat healthy for the most part. On vacation when I camp out I eat all the stuff that's bad for your arteries. Everything in moderation...
Good ol' moderation.
I have a couple of ursacks. Love them for my canoeing trips where I feel they rock.. I've brought one on my multi-day hikes and think it's okay - but a weight penalty. I like the Zpacks food bag better for hiking - but that's just me. YMMV.
Zpack you have to throw a line to hang I reckon......
shugemery unless you don't hang it. I never hang. i just tie it to a tree like I do the ursack. Never had an issue. I.am more concerned with mice, squirrels and pine martens than I am with bears.
thank you so much. I really enjoy the videos. I will be . binge-watching
Love the "Occupy Mars" shirt. Ha, Sing me up!
Thank you.
Yup Packet Gourmet has some good choices for chow. Ive been using them and some others and mix them up to make a very nice dinner and desert combo. Good to go, Omeals( which are like MTRE's except taste way better), Paleo Meals just to name a few have different meal choices and really set you up for success for the next day with all the nutrients you need. And for those who don't know, The Ursack is not approved for all areas as a Bear proof container. Check you local Ranger for more info. Thanks Shug, I really enjoyed that vid.
I mix them upmtoo but Packit is my favorite.
