Wow Shug, I can't believe that base jam! I got to see TOP live at Hal n Mal's in Jackson MS about 20 years ago and was amazed by the base performance in that song and you just nailed it dude. Thanks as always for inspiring us old fellas to keep getting after life. Good luck and a speedy recovery with your procedure. will look forward to seeing you back on the healthy side.
It is all those 16 notes and that right hand. I'll continue to keep working at that one. It has been a really fun challenge and I've been working it for 4 months little by little. TOP brings me back to my tawdry youth! Rocco was an amazing bass player.
A new Shug video is always welcome, even if I have no intention of trying a hammock or even stepping outside when it has been snowing 🤣🤣 Happy New Year, Shug!
My resolution this year is to accept my age and its limitations but to persevere and get a lot of balms!!!
Shug plays electric Bass, play with the finesse and Grace, hanging in the hammock got no shoes, strumming the bass and singing the blues. Happy New Year Shug!!
Appreciate your morning wordsmithing.....
Good to see ya Shug. Happy New year to all. Lets hope it is a more peaceful world we can all enjoy the great outdoors. Ian
I agree. We humans need to get our game on and act like the civilization we have the potential to be. I am all for colonizing on Saturn!
Bean with a case of the zoomies is always good fun. Good luck with the surgery, Shug. Hope it goes well and we get to enjoy that sugar voice again real soon.
Zoomies crack me up. I get them to sometimes! The silence will be a challenge but I look forward to what it will bring.
The ONLY reason I came to watch this video was in hopes to see just exactly what a Woopie Sling was. Now I know. That sling configuration has been used in sailing for over a thousand years. Moistly for dock lines. Thanks for setting it straight for me. Here all this time I thought it was some kind of metal thing you bought. I don't hammock camp but I've always wanted to know what a Whoopie Sling was.
Cuben tarps came from sail material. They call it dyneema now. Boats and hammocks are like peas in a pod.
Same with Hang Gliders. You know I flew those things for almost 30 years. Loads of fun. @@shugemery
Hi Shug, you are always so entertaining. I am a 77 year old woman who has slept in a hammock for the last seven years due to a hip problem.
Almost everything I know about hammocks I learned from you. My whoopie slings always tighten up too much and I have to unhook them from the wall if I want to loosen them.
Guess they get so tight because the hammock is constantly hanging in same place.
Thanks to sleeping in a hammock, I can lead an active life with very little pain. Enjoy your
videos.
Glad to hear the hammock is restoring you!
Thanks for sharing Shug. May things go well with your surgery and we will see you back here soon.
Thankee for the sentiments~
Happy New Year, Shug!! Glad everything, for the most part, is okay! Was a little concerned when we didn't get a Shug Christmas skit this last holiday!
Best wishes for a quick and successful surgery and a quick mend time. Hope Meg and Ariel (sp? Arial) are doing well and have a great 2024!
Appreciate the video and the bass riff near the end!
Thankee. Aerial is performing in Austria thus Meg and I caring for Bean as her boyfriend went over as well for a couple of weeks. I may be done on the Christmas skits. I enjoy Halloween but Christmas skits started feeling forced to me. Time will tell. Re-thinking my whole You Tube life.
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Good to see you, Shug. Happy New Year!
@@shugemery Certainly understand the drain these put on "content creators"! Have been watching for many, many years and have appreciated all you've done! Really enjoyed your Mom's shortbread video and the original Cappy The Coalman vid!!
The energy you've put into all the videos over those years has been immense and comes through in every one!!! I've probably re-watched the -40 degree hike you did with Strung Out more times than is healthy - LOL. Always amazed on how hard it has to be to set up & capture the adventure and make it entertaining and, even more, informational/educational, hopefully while you can enjoy the experience.
You do you, sir! Whoooooo Buddy))))
Keep on being strident! We love you and all the residents of Sector 7.
Righto~~!
A cold Florida morning and a Shug video with a side of coffee. Loving life. I recently made an 8oz hammock, bugnet and suspension. I'm using the old ucr. Tested for around 16 nights so far and this weekend in the wild. Love your vids, floridahanger.
Nice hang. UCRs are the close cousin to the whoopie. What is cold in Florida? 52º?
@@shugemery this morning, yes. This past weekend, upper 30's.
@@jq2911 That is cold down there!
I built a double layer jungle hammock and use UCR for ridgeline and woopie slings out to the straps and improved soft shackles into daisy chain tree strap. Plan on going to solid tree straps and marlin spike hitch eventualy. I live in Louisanna and everything is wet so went with climashield insulated underquilt and top quilt and a underquilt protector. Love making my own equipment
Damn son! One year my foot. You killed that song!!
Well....13 months now!! Thankee. I really enjoy it. Working on Steely Dan's "Peg" right now. Memories~~
Excellent explanation of the importance of proper application. Thanks Shug.😉
Nothing works for everything!
Great to see you and Bean. Good luck on the surgery.
Mucho Appreciato~~~
Shug! You are ripping on that bass!! All the best on your procedure!!
Been putting my time in and having some wee breakthroughs. "What is Hip"... It is all those 16 notes and that right hand. I'll continue to keep working at that one. It has been a really fun challenge and I've been working it for 4 months little by little.
Thanks Shug, I’ve missed the hammock talk - always worth dropping a whoopie at a dinner party 😂 Good luck with your voice and keep on at your four stringed voice
I'm digging to find hammock material I have not already covered. The muse can only take one so far. Thankee. The bass is my sanity place.
That was some sweet funk, and GREAT playing! I haven't listened to Tower of Power in too long! Whoooooooo buddy!
Oh yeah, and thanks for the info about Whoopie slings.
Thanks feller. I'm reworking that whole tune as I miffed a few places but enjoy every moment of working on it. Whoopies for the Win Say I......
Been on a big time Tower of Power kick.
Damn, Shug! Thats some phenomenal bass playing right there, son! Whooo Budday!
Thankee. I have worked daily on that for the last 4 months. Still not perfect but this is the first time I recorded myself playing that tune and was over-all pretty pleased. Whoooooo Buddy))))
Hey Shug.
Good luck on your surgery. I had that procedure done you'll be back to full power in no time. God is good.
Thanks for the good thoughts. I'll be well looked after.
Love the bass playing, Shug! Channeling your inner Rocco! ToP is one of my favorite bands, best live show I’ve been to. Good luck with your surgery!
Thankee. Rocco really had his own thing going. All those 16th notes and damped muted strings. Sure partied and danced to a lot of TOP back in the daze.....
Thanks Shug!
Not motivated to go back to work this morning. Your video was a treat.
🙏 for your surgery
Thankee Jim. Those trees can wait....
As soon as you asked the question and I saw the green hammock, I had flashbacks to ‘Ole Greenbean.
Funny how many folks remember Good Ol' GreenBean.
Shug you are my first stop if i ever visit USA! Best wishes for the surgery!! Bless!
Am I a Stop now?....haaaa. My fee is 29 Crunchies, 107 Flakes, 37 Fries Creams, 7 Rock candies, 7 Smarties and 3 Sherbet fountains, Some jellied eels. Sainsbury's sausage. Mushy peas and fish and chippies. Reckon I am assuming you are in the UK. Thanks on the surgery wishes.
@@shugemery haha, sorry if that was bad English on my part, i’m from Norway :) I would do my best to provide you the Norwegian equal of these product! (Could ship you some goodies if you wish) Thanks for replying my comment! 🤩
@@bareenlars Ahh. I have been lucky enough to visit Norway. Did not get to camp though. Thanks for offer but I have more candy than I know what to do with. Takk.
Awesome Shug! Always love to see Bean as well!
Bean is a joy to have for a while. So funny. Few more days with him then he goes back to Chicago as my daughter gets home from her gig in Austria soon.
Best of luck with the surgery down in my hometown Shug. Looks like a winter forecast and cold temps are finally on the way soon!
-The guy from the home depot parking lot
The engineer~ Cold coming soon
That's some fine soundin bass there Shug.
Thankee~
hi Shug. I've been following you for almost 6-7 years.. I always get in a good mood when I see your videos. 🎉I just want to wish you and your family a fantastic New Year 💖🎉
Thankee Charlotte. Let's get all the good people to band together and make this a great year. Best to you and yours as well.
Happy new year Shug! Keep them coming. Glad to see a new green bean…
I've had that new Greenbean for quite a while. My daughter love hanging and reading in it when home.
Shug, get you a Magic Slate! Saves on paper!
Got me a small dry erase board ready. It already says "boring" on it. Magic Slate would be more fun. I just might!!!
Good grief Shug, another surgery?
Well do you like the doctor says after your surgery.
You will be in our prayers.
Will look forward to hearing your stories in the near future.
Just get well and stay well.
Much love,
Bec
Yeah. Maybe someone will give me some Whitmans chocolates! Sounds like a fairly straight ahead procedure. Thankee.
Wow that groove got all over me! 😂 Cheers brother. HNY 🎉
Thankee. that tune has been a really fun challenge and I've been working it for 4 months little by little. It is all those 16 notes and that right hand. I'll continue to keep working at that one.
Lovin' the Native decor, tickled to know 'bout 6' and shrinkin', aaand nice to see ya'gain Mr. Emery. Blesssings sent for you and yours in the new year. Daaaang, gonna be a quiet month sure 'nuff. 🥴
Totally shrinking. My resolution for this year is to accept my age and the shortcoming that accompany it. The silence will be deafening
This is just what I needed for the new year, thank you Shug!
Love the music at the end. Glad to see you movin and groovin.
Thankee for all that....
@@shugemery Thank you for all of the years of dedication. You are the reason my family and I hammock camp.
Yes!! Can’t go wrong with Tower of Power!!! If you can’t talk, you just keep speaking with the badass bass playin!!!! Good luck on your surgery. We will miss the commentary. I would def sit in for some bass vids though!!
I've been listing to so much of them. Just makes me feel great and a throwback to my daze of youth. So fun learning Rocco's bass lines at this age.
One hip cat on that bass. Nice work with that fret hand. Been playing since last May and believe me I know how hard that is.
It is all those 16 notes and that right hand. I'll continue to keep working at that one. It has been a really fun challenge and I've been working it for 4 months little by little.
Been missing you, Shug, so I was happy to see this in my feed. Praying for a quick and full recovery on the ol' speaker box; until then gonna have to let that bass and mandolin speak for you for a while. God bless and a Happy New Year to you and yours!
I was relishing in obscurity for a bit. Will have to brush up the ol' mime skills.
'I know Im Shug, cause it says so on my hoodie ...' 😅😅😅
Man, I relish a name tag.
Happy 2024 Shug!!!!!
Right backatcha.....
Everybody loves Shug.
or at least tolerates.....
Excellent jam old man!!! Always fun to hear from you!
I appreciate that.
It is all those 16 notes and that right hand. I'll continue to keep working at that one. It has been a really fun challenge and I've been working it for 4 months little by little.
It's good to see you again shug
I can't see you but can read you~
Oh the horror! Watching this I had a flashback around minute 9 to Green Bean’s early departure from sector 7
Green Bean seems to be remembered by many.
I learned about Whoopie Slings from you Shug. I love them and shared the technique with lots of my hammock friends. It is has been the standard with us now for many years. The Ridge Line is the 2nd essential item to use. Thanks for many years of sharing your experience with all of us. 😇
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Tower of Power, right up there with Canned Heat.
Those horns always excited me~~
Whoopie slings confound me, like an IQ test that I repeatedly fail.
They are designed to perplex and confound.
Hope your procedure went well! That bass jam was amazing. Nice work!
It went well thanks. Just felt like a bad sore throat afterwards but much better today. Just very difficult not talking. All those thoughts trapped in my head need to get out by way of my mouth I have discovered. Not uttered a peep yet....except by accident when I was fixing a light upstairs today. I mutter to myself doing chores. I have 2 weeks total silence. Two days down. Twelve to go!!! Got a white board. Funny...Meg talks to me like I'm deaf since I can't speak....haaa.
Thankee on the bass jam.
I needed that..! 🎉Thank you ..! 💜💜💜🙏
Whooooo Buddy))))
What is Hip! I'll tell ya…Shug is hip..Yeah! Cheers from Nova Scotia and Happy New Year🎉 MikeR.
Hello up your way 'eh...Thanks and thankee. Be Hip~ Play Hip~
Love the hoodie and believe that it is in fact a goodie 🤩
Whooooo Buddy))))
Good to see you again!
Well done on the bass for a year!!!
Thanks on the bass. I have worked daily on that for the last 4 months. Still not perfect but this is the first time I recorded myself playing that tune and was over-all pretty pleased. Whoooooo Buddy))))
Praying your procedure goes smoothly!
Thankee.
Good to see ya Shug...missed ya last few months ...I need my shot of Shug to keep me a moving and groovin!...hope you got a good year a coming...I've upped my hammock game this year so love all your wisdom...stay happy safe and keep on hangin'😊
I was enjoying my bout with obscurity for a while. Hoping to get inspired for more this year. Thankee.
My favourite channel on RUclips!
Ah shucks....thankee.
So Glad To See You Shug,Good Luck With Your Surgery Brother
Thankee. Gonna be weird!!!
Whoopie , Third Person advice, and so Early, in the new year.
I always truly enjoy your comments~~!
@@shugemery More Breakfast from the Hammock cradled in comfort for 2024 is coming i can smell the coffee already😉 Happy New Year .
@@atommachine Lack of snow and deep cold is hurting my winter camping motivation. I may just film myself couch napping and eating fudge off of my chest. Good stuff.
You always make me laugh and I learn something as well. Good luck with your procedure and keep rockin. Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours .
Oh thankee so much for getting that from the video Colleen. Procedure looming!!! Happy Year to ya'll as well. Live Your Way~~
Hope all goes well with your surgery. That will give you some bass time. Enjoyed your playing. I was about to get discouraged with my playing after watching this video. Then I remembered I watch all videos on 1.50 speed. Man you was getting with it sped up 50 percent.
Thankee. I play bass everyday. Whooooo Buddy))))
Happy new year shug! Good luck with your surgery later this month. During your recovery you can put videos out of you and your base!! No talking, just jamming!!
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Oh my gosh, I posted that too soon. You were really jamming on that Bass guitar. blew me away!
Is there anything you can't do? I mean you seem to be mastering everything you pick up.
I'm impressed!
I have spent the last 4 months working on drills to get that tune down. Daily. It has been fun. Still need to get it up and cleaner and up to actual speed. I only do things that i have a fighting chance of being pretty good at and pull me in and excite me. Thankee Bec.
I have had the same hammock for about 7 years now with woopie slings. Lately I have been having the same issue you demonstrated, but only with no load at all. If I try to make the loop longer to re-adjust from the last use, I have to wrap the sling around one hand and pull with all I got to get it to pull through. On the other hand, it works just fine to tighten it. This affects both ends and outwardly looks clean, almost like new.
Never seen that happen. Did you make the whoopie sling?
@@shugemery No, it is a first generation Blackbird Warbonnet purchased 2/2016. I love that hammock, so comfortable. Over the years, I get to use it 30 to 50 evenings each year in the great outdoors. I have the new version I use in the house on a hammock frame, but it is not as comfortable. I have only slept in a hammock since July of 2017.
Love the Bass Brother. I mostly played with a pick like Chris Squire.
YES Yo......Roundabout. Been messing with pick a bit here and there. But like the fingers.
Thanks, Shug!
Y'elcome and thankee....
You're a hoot. Love watching your channel
I thankee for that.
I happen to be one of those guys that always had trouble with Whoopie slings getting to tight, I messed with them until I had enough, now I use Dutch wear buckles. Now I'm happier. Thanks for the video, because that also makes me happier.
A hammock suspension should not stress someone out. You found your solution. Good stuff.
Amen to that.@@shugemery
You will have to do an entire video dressed up as a mime! That would be amazing!!
I have the striped shirt and beret.....
Love that bass! ;)
I appreciate that. Been playing daily since I got into it. Truly enjoying it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR SIR!! Good to see you! So good to hear a discussion about one of my favorite hobbies!
I'm the guy that tied a series of over hands on both sides of my dd's frontline with conventional straps kinda like a Jacob's ladder on both sides of the hammock. Then... I tie a bowline loop on one end of a ratchet strap and tie it onto the anchor point and then from there becket hitch the loose end to one of the "rungs" in the Jacob's ladder on both ends of the hammock.
I guess you're right... us hammockers like what we like🤣🤣.
Bean is a hoot! Oh my goodness!! Good luck with the operation. The bass playing is awesome!!
Hey! It's great to see ya! You take care and we'll see you again soon.
NQU
Sounds like an interesting technique you like there.
Bean is a joy. He is back with Aerial now as she is home from Austria. I always feel a bit empty for a couple of days when handing him back. Especially in the morning. Thank you on the bass. One year has been great and I intend on keeping up my playing schedule. It brings a lot to my life. So thankee.
@@shugemery 😊👍🏼
A bassist is born!
Born late yet born....thankee.
Impressive bass skills, brother!! I started on a Fender Precision. Then moved to rhythm because I was a vocalist and couldn't play the bass and sing... the reason you don't see bassists singing lead. LOL Sounds great!!! Keep it up!!! Love it!!! Always loved heavy bass lines!!
Thanks Dave. I too have a Fender P-bass. In the video was my G&L CLF Research L-1000. I'.working on playing bass and singing. Way harder to do than on a mandolin. But Geddy Lee from rush, Mark King from Level 42 and Jack Bruce from Cream, Esmerelda Spalding can/could all sing while playing bass so it is doable. Hoping in time when I am more comfortable with the bass I'll be able too.
Nice bass playing! You really like to challenge yourself. :-)
Thanks on the bass. I have worked daily on that for the last 4 months. Still not perfect but this is the first time I recorded myself playing that tune and was over-all pretty pleased. Whoooooo Buddy)))) In my challenge line-up that I work daily....What is Hip, Level42 Starchild, Billies Bounce and Stormy Monday Allman Brothers.
Classic Shug video. Happy New Year!
Thankee and right backatcha....
Thanks Shug! I have issues with a tight adjustable ridgeline, I'll have to get in there and see what I can do to loosen it up and stay loose.
Nice playin' "What is Hip". That's one of the finest bass lines IMO, second maybe to "Sir Duke". Keep on thumpin'!
Sad to miss you at the WI Butt Hang. We'll all talk in a low voice in your honor. Here's hopin' for quick healing!
These vids may give some ridgeline info....ruclips.net/video/0wKEOK7G23o/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/Gq7fDjH90MU/видео.html
I like hands with about 15-20 folks max these days. I ain't one for crowds unless I'm on stage in front of them....haaaa.
Thanks on the bass. I have worked daily on that for the last 4 months. Still not perfect but this is the first time I recorded myself playing that tune and was over-all pretty pleased. Whoooooo Buddy))))
Shug, you are always a man of science, willing to risk life, limb, and property in the pursuit of outdoor knowledge. When you took that ridge line off, I had flashbacks to the loss of the original Green Bean! Good luck with your procedure. All the best to you in 2024… -Chris AKA kitsapcowboy
Good to hear from you. You still get a lot of mentions on hamockforums. You for sure left a mark there. Best to you as well.
hey Shug, i hope things go super smooth with the surgery, and you heal up quickly
Mime camping trip coming soon! lol
Appreciate the thought.
Thanks for the vid Shug! I've been missing the content
Whooooo Buddy)))) Thanks.
Brother Shug , you are hip 👍👍
Mucho appreciato....
Best wishes for your sugery Shug. Thanks for keeping these videos coming!
Thank you. I'm slowing down on vids after 16 years of doing them. But hopefully motivation and muses will be found in this new year. Kinda had my time I reckon....
I was afeerin fer the green bean!
Don't be a skiart........all good. Thankee.
OMG I've missed that energy you give off. Happy new year Mister Shhhhhh
Thankee for that. Good thoughts.
I love my HOK skis! You will love them. They are great in deep snow, if we ever get some. I will be curious to see your review.
Waiting for more snow. We have about an inch!! Only. May go to a field tomorrow and just give them a go.
Hey Shug, fantastic bass playing! Got a hot tent setup for Christmas..an absolute blast. You should try it.
Thankee on that. Enjoy that good warm tent.
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮 where we're currently breaking record low temps and there is snow everywhere. I hope you'll get some of this weather as well. Take care!
I saw that in the news. I think it will get here in time. Enjoy your extreme cold!!!!
Been a while Shug! Good to see ya! Whoo buddy!
I was relishing in my obscurity. This year I will decide my You Tube fate. Keep on. Maybe start a new channel. Maybe be done. It has been on me mind.
I’ll bet Kreskin would use whoopie slings if he was a hammocker! Happy new year Shug! ✌🏼🌲☕️
He would suspend the hammock with mental abilities~~
This winter has been awful! Even up in Duluth we barely have a dusting of snow. And this after I loaded up on fun gear at the most recent Winter Camping Symposium. Hope it arrives at some point and you can get out and enjoy the winter woods.
Good luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery to you! Ill give a hearty whooo buddy out in the woods on your behalf.
True we buy fun new winter stuff and no snow. At least I did not purchase a snowmobile. But dying to try the HOK skis......us-store.altaiskis.com/product/hok-skis-with-universal-pivot-bindings-copy/#prettyPhoto
Happy new year, happy hanging, and happy Hok-ing!! :)
Gonna need more snow for more HOK-ing! Gonna be a fun new winter toy.
Hi Shug, I was really happy to see a new video from you. No matter the topic of your videos, it's always fun. You always manage to cheer me up.
I wish all the best on your surgery, and even better recovery, take care!
I was really feeling I had to get something out. Thankee.
Happy New Year! Thanks for this. Nice swag.
Thankee. Swag and a Billy Bag.
I hope you recover well. You will be speaking with that bass for the month. Nice playing btw
The challenge of silence looms. Kinda looking forward to not speaking while. Thankee on the playing.
Happy New Year 🎉 Shug
Just seeing your videos make my day better.😊
Thankee. Two days into this year and enjoying. Fortune rides.....
Hey Shug, hope you have a great year.
Be thinking about you 19th man. Hope everything goes well.
Love your videos. They are a ready reference to turn to as I travel through the hanging experience. If people ask me about my setup I explain then say, go watch Shug he’s a encyclopaedia.
Thanks for sharing and take it easy 🔥🇬🇧
Thankee for the good words. I miss the old World Book encyclopedias. My Dad made us take one into the bathroom with us every time we went to poo. That is why I read on the toilet to this day....haaaa
yea, a video, i ask myself TWICE, why do i watch this, i am disable so i dont backpack, dont hammock camp but just enjoy watching his videos, if you have a sense of humor shug is for you. all secure in minier illinois !
I appreciate you putting eyes on the video.
Dat bass be phat!
Thankee. My G&L CLF Research L-1000 bass.
Bend a spoon you amazing fella! Lol
Got to meet Kristin once. He was nice. But you get kicked out of the dressing room an hour before his show so he can "prepare."
I feel for you shug. Just been cold and a little wet here. I want to play with my new toys. I got an 11' hamhock. and some tensa solo poles.
I hear ya'. I prefer it to get good and cracking cold. Way more fun. Wet and 36º just feels colder than a dry -10º to me.
I hope your surgery & recovery go well. Please update us as soon as you can.
I appreciate your thoughts.
New Year new Video!! Whooo Buddy!
Whooooo Buddy))))
I'll stick with my Dutchware Beetle Buckles w/ continuous loops on the hammock and my Zingit ridgeline with a Dutch clip and wasp for my tarp. Happy New Year Shug!
Good to know what you like and trust. Good options for us all. So far the first two days of 2024 have been steller. Best ever. Tops. Bees knees. Fifty-four skidoo.
@@shugemery all secure in sector 7! 🙌
After 2 weeks in the same spot, during rain, I ended up cutting the suspension with a knife. 100 lbs lighter now, I’ll try whoopie slings again.
Congratulation on the 100 pounds off. Mighty good!
Happy New Year Shug from North Carolina!!
Day # 2...good year in sector seven so far.
