And he can sing too!!! ...boy I am starting to think there is more to this Shug feller than meets the camera lens! Thanks for sharing, always a joy to be along...
What a great trip. The best part for me what the smile on the young mans face when he met you. That’s pretty cool that you have touched and been a positive influence on his young life that he’ll remember. Well done sir! So glad you’re back out in the woods. Happy trails Shug!
Not a Chanterelle! The mushroom you showed at the beginning had true gills. Chanterelles have veins that run halfway down the stem. All chanterelles have veins including Black trumpets, and Cinnabar Chanterelle.
I second that diagnosis Timothy. I found gobs of those false chanterelles, got home and did the search, whaa. The gills on them flex like paper. Chowed down on the black trumpets and chicken of the woods though.
Chanterelle mushrooms do not have gills, they have fake gills (sometimes referred to as veins). The veins are decurrent, this means they run down into the stem. What you have there appear to have true gills. If so I'm guessing false chanterells or jack-o-lanterns, both are inedible. Love your vids, thanks for sharing and keep on rocking it! :)
Shug, you said something that I noticed and it shouldn't be overlooked. I recently went out to Colorado and did a solo hike with my dog. Every single person that I encountered on the trail was in a good mood. Nature and a good trail brings out the best in people. I also think it is a sharing of something that like minded people love to do that brings out that goodness. Whoo buddy!
Man, it's true what you say : the woods help us being in the moment, being real and have real deep conversations. That's probably why I do so much forest and mountain walks and hikes.
That was awesome Shug! It was a lot of fun to watch you hike and camp with Joe and Mathew. They seem like my kind of people. I'll check out their podcast.
Looks like a fun couple of guys to hang with for a night. I wonder if the bears leave you guys alone because of Hickory's snoring. 😆. So cool to see the father and son. Shug breaks out the 6 string. Nice!
23:35 favorite shot of the video. Loved that you got to meet the father and son but sure they might have enjoyed it more, meeting you. Great couple of guys joining you but boy do I miss Hickory. That Haven XL looked mighty comfortable. Thanks for another one Shug.
Definitely NOT a chanterelle, lol. The give-away is the free-standing, easily-broken gills rather than folds and bridges like you see in chants. Probably a Russula. Edibility would depend on whether or not it's acrid/hot to the taste when nibbled (don't eat the hot ones - they won't kill you, but they might make you wish it for a bit). That second yellow one is an unrelated species, I think.
Shug, You're so right about the way an overcast day can actually make the woodland colors more vivid! Some of my best days in the woods were on overcast days-especially in the fall.
Camping, hiking and bushcraft are my favourite things to do, my mind knows this and because I am mentally ill, my mind has decided to make me have panic attacks to stop me going. Whenever I am packed, dressed to leave and feeling like crap I watch shugs videos and go to the woods.
Unfortunately for me I am at work at the moment but I will watch this when I get home while I'm eating my dinner this particular sector 7 is doing good so far
Next best thing to getting out in the woods, is watching you out in the woods. Still not camping weather here in south Louisiana but hopefully soon. Thanks for the inspiration, Shug. Woo Buddy! (By the way, that song is one of my favorites).
In south Louisiana also. Lol unfortunately for few actually camp worthy days for me is far an fee between. I can’t do the hot and humid. So small period of the year I can get out. Just wish we had more areas. Seems like everywhere shug gets out to is beautiful
Shug ,you did it again out of the park. TNKS for the tech details, made that trip to the rootball at 4a.m. Seems most stuff in the stores is for lil people, not us regular 275# guys who like to be out side. The missing people stuff is all over the USA. It's not fun to think that can't happen to me .... Anyway how is the wifey she mending OK we hope. Snowing today thats Wyoming.
Another great video. I don’t think that was a chanterelle; it looked like it had gills rather than folds. Check out Learn Your Land for more ID info. The yellow one was Amanita muscaria, the red one a Painted Bolete (Suillus Pictus), and I think you also found a King Bolete, based on the beige stem with white netting. Mushroom are very pretty, aren’t they?
It always good to listen to the atmosphere of a place.... we get these feeling for a reason. I think it's something early man was better at, but we still have the ghost of it.
Anyone else cringe when Mathew climbed in Shugs hammock with dirty feet. Great video Shug with a good group of guys, thanks for keeping the sector secure.
I just hiked the Smokies with my Haven. It's a bit heavy but I sleep so well in it I don't care! The cross bars are great for airing out your undies and socks.
SHUG, got and suggestion. I've been drinking Turkish coffee for 25 years. 10 years ago I started using it as instant coffee. If you have the super fine coffee, 2 teaspoons in a mug and pour boiling water, stir for a little longer than you'd think, wait for the grounds to settle and voila. Experiment with the strength of coffee you enjoy. 2 teaspoons is just my preference. Enjoy
@@shugemery No waiting involved. Try it. The stirring is for the grounds to absorb the water and sink. My cup takes less than 5 seconds. Thanks for keep your eyes on the comments. You've been an inspiration. For camping and life :)
Chanterelles! you pronounce your French well !! your hammock looks very comfortable, it's the cadillac of hammocks! always a pleasure to listen to you my friend! Merci beaucoup pour tes vidéos 🎥 Pickleball xxx
Thanks for bringing the XL along for another adventure. With some wise words about the wilderness too 🙏 Just spent a few days at Disney World and Universal Studios with the kids… 😯 quiet by the lake beats fun from a firehose any day 😂
It sure slept me well. We took our daughter to Disney World when she was 6 and stayed a week on Disney property. I think I had the best time as I live in a fantasy world.
My buddy and I went to an established campsite and I was very nervous and I made him hang his hammock practically on the same trees as mine. come to find out the following week a hammocker set up camp in the exact same spot in the tree fell on him and he died he was found three days later😞 horrifying😞 listen to your gut,
That might well have been a chanterelle - next time note if the "gills" are more ridges or folds instead of true gills. Meaning they aren't easily damaged if you run your finger across them. Also chanterelles won't usually be in stacked clumps like the poisonous jack o' lantern mushroom which its sometimes confused with. They'll instead be a bunch growing out of the ground separately.
Hey shug, don't know if you've ever had any but "no bake cookies" are great for camping. Chocolate peanut butter oat cookies. Make em as big or small as you wanna I always have a bag to snack on when I'm hiking in and around Caledonia state park! They're great
Just got back from a trip to the Blood Mountain Wilderness in Georgia in my hammock ... then get to see Shug with some new friends. Awesome! My art came too, WHOOO BUDDY )))) !!
It's funny you mentioned the spot where something felt off. Theres a state forest near me here in Wisconsin that this one spot I go to, feels off and I am uneasy about it every time I'm there. I even tried to do a dispersed camp there once and I bailed. I think we have remanences of a sense from a time when we were more wild. A sense that helps to keep us safe in the woods.
Happy to see you Shug and with your Haven 💕 I'm taking mine out in June to Truckee California. I already live and camp in the Sierras in Plumas County but Truckee will be a first 💕🏕️
Skimmed into this & already love the hammock concepts & good characters; I'll pop back in a bit & take it all in. The ideas that you do not need, nor do main-stream hammocks & tarps necessarily prevail: there is always room to innovate. I love having the pad & ground options: more positions, inflate on train exhibition car at night to sleep, easy sleep at a bus layover or airport, and comfortable stracture-sleep-number hammock bed. Waiting on two of those Wilderness Innovations Hammock-Shelter-ponchos.
I love getting to share your adventures with you, I could feel your enjoyment of the trip coming through. I double love seeing you enjoy the Haven System!! I have the regular and like it a lot but im definitely going to order the XL as well, why not have even more space right? Cheers from Saskatchewan, Woo Buddy!
We were there too. We went to Whiskey Jack looking for you. I guess we missed you. Maybe next time. It was a pleasure sharing the woods with you though
I will never get tired of watching you hike Angleworm. I hiked it in '19 and '20 as a way to cut my teeth on backpacking. Was going to move on to Snowbank Lake this year, but between the fires and moving, I never got up north. Oh well, always next year, whooo buddy!
You should be celebrated with a holiday. I hereby declare national Shug day October 19 ( because that’s my birthday and I always hike on my birthday) We should experience the woods every year on that day. Thanks again Shug from Spartanburg SC
Really cool kick off to the primo camping season soon to be upon us. I'm glad you guys got to meet up. Might make ole "Hickery" jealous! 😂 Enjoyed as always brother!
@@shugemery We stayed at the Northwoods inn on Saturday. They were the only place with availability. It was a long hike out, but with the weather Saturday night and Sunday morning I'm glad we weren't in the woods. Meeting you was the highlight of Gavin's trip! I had to print the picture out that I took of you two so he could take it to school and show all of his friends! I will have to keep my eye out for Joe's book. Thanks again for helping make a great trip even better for my son.
Shug and Bill Withers and nature. That’s some good stuff! The singing made me think of one of my favorite songs you do, “Brown Mountain Lights.” Hunting for Lloyd…maybe you and Hickery need to track down some ghost lights. And eat some BBQ, of course. A pleasure as always!
What a great trip! Hiking and or backpacking in the woods and or mountains enjoying creation indeed have a way of lifting a person's spirits and bringing out the best in people. One of the many reasons I love to get out there. Looking forward to the book being written. Highly recommend "Lost in the Wild" by Cary Griffiths, two gripping tales of men who went missing and how quickly things can go south so to speak, one in the BWCA and the other in Quetico.
What a special time you had. Super nice guys. I did a day class on mushrooms years ago. There’s a lot to know. I really like your videoing of them. It was nice to see the Father and son out on the trail, too.
Great video and wonderful location. I always think how lucky people are to have these sorts of places right in their backyards, but then you mentioned a 5hr drive, so it's kind of reassuring to hear that others have to do a bit of a mission to get these beauty spots as well.
I’m sticking with my XLC Blackbird but that hammock looked like a super king sized bed in the penthouse at some swank, “SWANK” Los Vegas Casino Hotel. Good video. 👍🏕🇨🇱
Nice to hike with new friends. I don't like the taste/texture of mushrooms so I've never been much for trying to identifying them. I'm not very observant at times so I'd be worried about choosing poorly!
I just spent the last week in Cades Cove in the great Smoky Mountains, in Tenn. and man was it nice, also a great to come home to a new video from YOU, Woo Buddy!
I look forward to your videos as often as you put them out. Everyday I go to see if you put out a new video. And I can't wait to watch the newest one you've put up. You make my day! Of course you're no Clint Eastwood, but you still make my day and you make me smile and laugh.
Lately I enjoy trip reports the most as they just play out. Wish I could trip every week. But I have too many other things in my life and the woods are just a part of all that. Thanks for always watching. And checking.
Yes, not light. I make it lighter by using a different tarp I own and different suspension and lighter biners. Once in the pack it is easy enough to tote. But a versatile option.
I have a trip planned for a couple of weeks from now to do angleworm. And I have the regular haven. I have it rigged up with dutch straps and buckles, using it with a dutch extra light winter tarp.
Totally decreased some weight. It is a cool rig. And has it's place. Sometimes I think we worry about packweight too much. My pack in the 1970s.......crazy to think.
Hahaha I’ve thought about putting your sticker on the car but it has its home on my canoe barrel keeping my quilts nice n warm! Still thinking of where to put the patch!
Currently watching this in a Haven Tent! Just got it in the mail today, so of course I'm sleeping in it tonight at my house. So far, I'm impressed! Definitely heavier than I'd like, but for weekend trips I think it'll do just fine.
Chanterelles have false gills. The mushroom you found appears to have gills which would make it a false chanterelle. It is said to be toxic and is very bitter.
Hi Shug, I have the Haven XL hammock tent sat in my online cart, and not pressed pay now yet, after having a not so good experience of the insulated Klymit hammock pad being chilly at 5C, and wondered about the Haven hammock tent pad and how low a temperature you would feel happy taking it down to. Also as there potential add a second pad too??? Your the best buddy. All clear in sector 9. (That's in Wales UK.)..lol
Very nice . IMO , since you have retired . It shows in the video's , that you are more relaxed . Probably shows more in this video than others . Be safe of there ... gubs.
Hey Shug, long time viewer and really enjoy your work. During a visit from my father, he said he recognized you and had met you at one point, while he was touring. His name is Rodney Dillard, from the Dillards (Darlins, from the Andy Griffith show.) Small world. Just thought I'd share. Anyway, keep up the great work!
Yep. He would argue the fame perspective though 😆 Incidentally, he was pretty impressed with the engagement your videos prompt. Pete Beck with the River Kings and I met some time ago and became friends, dad started watching and enjoying his work as well. Thats one awesome component RUclips can provide. Connecting with great and talented folks!
Early!!!! Haha, been waiting so patiently for a new hiking vid! Don't get "lost" too! One of these days I need to take a flight up there for Superior hiking trail. I'll let ya know.
Mushrooms of the Upper Midwest is a great little book. That looks like a chanterelle but the best way to tell is if those gills dent or can be teased out in sheets.
@@shugemery Chantrelles smell fruity too, as opposed to some of the toxic species like Jack-o-lanterns. It's also helpful to note the type of of substrate the mushroom is growing in (oak, pine, etc.)
Shug, nice one. I would loved to have gotten in on some of that metaphysical conversation though. Seriously. People go missing out there. Why?! Hey, man, if you did a guest trek once every 3 months or so it would be a great thing. I mean invite someone out with you. Podcast it. People would jump at the chance. So, you are slowly selling me on the hammock. Closer every day. Rock on and God bless.
They wander off and get lost, walk into to bliss. Could be a choice. Could be they erred. I am mulling doing a podcast rather than videos. But my time in the woods is treasured time and I'm not fond of always camping with those I do not know well enough. Talking total strangers. If you try hammocks be patient as it takes time to dial in.

I agree, unlikely a Chanterelle. Adam from Learn Your Land has a great RUclips channel for Fungi’s (pun) like you. Check it out.
@@louisehiker9246 Thanks for the intel~~
@@louisehiker9246 You are so right. Mr. Adam is a great source of information. Have watched several of his videos over the past few years.
Chanterelle mushrooms do not have gills, they have fake gills (sometimes referred to as veins). The veins are decurrent, this means they run down into the stem.
What you have there appear to have true gills. If so I'm guessing false chanterells or jack-o-lanterns, both are inedible.
Love your vids, thanks for sharing and keep on rocking it! :)
I was thinking Russula, given the breakage on it. But Jacks are a good second-guess (although rare not to find them in a large cluster).
Thankee for the good 'shroom intel...
Luv him hangin sky high & the PB PopTarts need a resurrection ASAP.
Looked like a beautiful trip, wooooo!
Man I do miss those Peanut Butter Pap Tairts......nothing else fills the void for me truly.
You’ve found a new energy Shug. I’m thinking you’re gaining a foot hold in your retired/new life. Enjoyed the video…keep ‘em coming. 👍🏼😎
Still coming to grips with it. Thankee.
Shug, you said something that I noticed and it shouldn't be overlooked. I recently went out to Colorado and did a solo hike with my dog. Every single person that I encountered on the trail was in a good mood. Nature and a good trail brings out the best in people.

True so true.
Man, it's true what you say : the woods help us being in the moment, being real and have real deep conversations. That's probably why I do so much forest and mountain walks and hikes.
It gives us time.
I always try and carry at least one 40-gallon heavy-duty trash bag on hikes. So many uses.
Good for sure
That was awesome Shug! It was a lot of fun to watch you hike and camp with Joe and Mathew. They seem like my kind of people. I'll check out their podcast.
I was ready for some brotherhood in the backwood hood~~
Monday's suck! O Thank-You Shug for taking us with on your Adventure. All that fun makes the day flyby! Whoooo Buddy ))))
They do! Had to work on my window project all day. Nearing the end. Wan't it to be done!!!!! But feels good at the same time to check it off the list.
Looks like a fun couple of guys to hang with for a night. I wonder if the bears leave you guys alone because of Hickory's snoring. 😆. So cool to see the father and son. Shug breaks out the 6 string. Nice!
They were good fellers for sure.

It's funny how the day after I get back from hammocking in the woods I find myself watching Shug hammocking in the woods.
Hope you had a goodie.

I do some no-bake snowshoe cookies for winter. Peanut butter, dates and chocolate. Good energy and tasty!!

Also that there looks to be a chanterelle but is past it’s goodness, if it smells like apricots I’d be 90% sure! Looks like such a great trip
I keep getting a lot of different feedback on it. But I just enjoy looking at them. I got food in my pack to eat....
100% was a chanterelle, started watching your videos very recently, really surprised how similar the scenery is compared to here in finland. Love it.
I got a lot of different answers! I love to see mushrooms though. Wee works of art. It does compare to Finland. We have lots of Finns here.
Always stoked for a Shug video. That Haven hammock looks pretty awesome.
Righto...it is. Thankee.
Great video as always Shug. It was a pleasure meeting you on the trail.
Real good to meet you and Gavin as well. Hotel is Saturday night? Long hike day for you both.
@@shugemery We stayed at the Northwoods inn on Saturday. They were the only place with availability. It was a long hike out, but with the weather Saturday night and Sunday morning I'm glad we weren't in the woods. Meeting you was the highlight of Gavin's trip! I had to print the picture out that I took of you two so he could take it to school and show all of his friends! I will have to keep my eye out for Joe's book. Thanks again for helping make a great trip even better for my son.
@@brianlauwers216 Glad you guys got a roof. His big smile was so cool to see in the woods. Can tell he enjoys it so much.
Shug and Bill Withers and nature. That’s some good stuff! The singing made me think of one of my favorite songs you do, “Brown Mountain Lights.” Hunting for Lloyd…maybe you and Hickery need to track down some ghost lights. And eat some BBQ, of course. A pleasure as always!
Craving to sit in a good BBQ joint and chow down. Extra special would be banana pudding with meringue on top.
Really like the looks of that Haven XL. Thanks for showing it in this adventure. Congrats on getting a chance to hang with new friends.
The Haven has it's place. Cool rig.
Just did some harmonizing on ain’t no sunshine with you shug, digging the acoustic whoo buddy!!!!!😎
Yeah Feller~~!
Great bit of walking and talking! Looked like a blast.
It was a good respite for a night.
Another amazing video. Seemed like such a good vibe with those 2. Your cover at the end was a nice little surprise to end a fellas night.
Appreciate it.
What a great trip! Hiking and or backpacking in the woods and or mountains enjoying creation indeed have a way of lifting a person's spirits and bringing out the best in people. One of the many reasons I love to get out there.
Looking forward to the book being written. Highly recommend "Lost in the Wild" by Cary Griffiths, two gripping tales of men who went missing and how quickly things can go south so to speak, one in the BWCA and the other in Quetico.
You said it right!
What a special time you had. Super nice guys. I did a day class on mushrooms years ago. There’s a lot to know. I really like your videoing of them. It was nice to see the Father and son out on the trail, too.
I enjoy seeing them for sure. Feel no need to really eat them as I have food in my pack! Would like to be better at knowing if or if not though.
Great video and wonderful location. I always think how lucky people are to have these sorts of places right in their backyards, but then you mentioned a 5hr drive, so it's kind of reassuring to hear that others have to do a bit of a mission to get these beauty spots as well.
I enjoy the anticipation of getting there.
Great trip! Wow!
Righto!
I’m sticking with my XLC Blackbird but that hammock looked like a super king sized bed in the penthouse at some swank, “SWANK” Los Vegas Casino Hotel. Good video. 👍🏕🇨🇱
Nice to have options.....
Nice to hike with new friends. I don't like the taste/texture of mushrooms so I've never been much for trying to identifying them. I'm not very observant at times so I'd be worried about choosing poorly!
I really just like looking at them. Oh, I got food in my pack.
A very mellow video, Shug. Lovin' it...WOO BUDDY!
Those guys brought a good mellow vibe.
Hey you are getting long in tooth but I’m longer,I’ve enjoyed your videos and learned and still learning hope to see many more thanks
I do love that expression.
I just spent the last week in Cades Cove in the great Smoky Mountains, in Tenn. and man was it nice, also a great to come home to a new video from YOU, Woo Buddy!
Whooooooo Buddy))))
I look forward to your videos as often as you put them out.
Everyday I go to see if you put out a new video.
And I can't wait to watch the newest one you've put up.
You make my day! Of course you're no Clint Eastwood, but you still make my day and you make me smile and laugh.
Lately I enjoy trip reports the most as they just play out. Wish I could trip every week. But I have too many other things in my life and the woods are just a part of all that. Thanks for always watching. And checking.
Man that is one cool hammock, I believe that would get me back into hammocking and I love the way you can use the trekking poles for a ground set up
Get back out there!!
@@hipgroove68 I would love to see someone using it on the ground with the trekking poles in adverse weather and see how it does
Right here...scroll down to video......haventents.com/blogs/haven-journal/going-to-ground
@@odgreenoutdoors20 have be on a high spot for sure!
@@shugemery thanks shug
7 lbs? Good gracious! It does look very comfortable though. Maybe when I finally get that pack goat.
Yes, not light. I make it lighter by using a different tarp I own and different suspension and lighter biners. Once in the pack it is easy enough to tote. But a versatile option.
The ground spike puns...hilarious
Whooooo Buddy))))
i thank its odd on the items from no where that we bring for camping with new friends
again Shugg a most awesome video
My thoughts exactly. They were a pleasure.
I have a trip planned for a couple of weeks from now to do angleworm. And I have the regular haven. I have it rigged up with dutch straps and buckles, using it with a dutch extra light winter tarp.
Totally decreased some weight. It is a cool rig. And has it's place. Sometimes I think we worry about packweight too much. My pack in the 1970s.......crazy to think.
Always good hangin’ with Shug!
Righto and thanks.
I think I'm the 9th comment which is Earlier than 10 :) i shall watch the trip after work can't wait. Looks Thhhhpecktackleaerrr!
Winky-dooooo
Hahaha I’ve thought about putting your sticker on the car but it has its home on my canoe barrel keeping my quilts nice n warm! Still thinking of where to put the patch!
Canoe barrel for the win!
Currently watching this in a Haven Tent! Just got it in the mail today, so of course I'm sleeping in it tonight at my house.
So far, I'm impressed! Definitely heavier than I'd like, but for weekend trips I think it'll do just fine.
I make it lighter by using a different tarp I own and different suspension and lighter biners. Once in the pack it is easy enough to tote.
Chanterelles have false gills. The mushroom you found appears to have gills which would make it a false chanterelle. It is said to be toxic and is very bitter.
Thankee.
Spooky ghost stories... 👻
Getting us ready for All Hallows Eve! 🎃
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Nice trip! Thank you Shug!!!
October in the woods is emotive~~
Hi Shug, I have the Haven XL hammock tent sat in my online cart, and not pressed pay now yet, after having a not so good experience of the insulated Klymit hammock pad being chilly at 5C, and wondered about the Haven hammock tent pad and how low a temperature you would feel happy taking it down to. Also as there potential add a second pad too??? Your the best buddy. All clear in sector 9. (That's in Wales UK.)..lol
It has an R-Value of 4.
So about 30º F so about 1ºC. You could slide a thin closed cell foam pad under to boost I suppose.
Another great video! Thanks shug.
Glad you enjoyed it! Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Very nice . IMO , since you have retired . It shows in the video's , that you are more relaxed . Probably shows more in this video than others . Be safe of there ... gubs.
I can care a bit less what others think. My achilles heel....people pleaser for a living!
Hey Shug, long time viewer and really enjoy your work. During a visit from my father, he said he recognized you and had met you at one point, while he was touring. His name is Rodney Dillard, from the Dillards (Darlins, from the Andy Griffith show.) Small world. Just thought I'd share. Anyway, keep up the great work!
I LOVE the Dillards! That is your Dad!!! Fame baby.
Yep. He would argue the fame perspective though 😆 Incidentally, he was pretty impressed with the engagement your videos prompt. Pete Beck with the River Kings and I met some time ago and became friends, dad started watching and enjoying his work as well. Thats one awesome component RUclips can provide. Connecting with great and talented folks!
Early!!!! Haha, been waiting so patiently for a new hiking vid! Don't get "lost" too!
One of these days I need to take a flight up there for Superior hiking trail. I'll let ya know.
Whooooooo Buddy)))))
Mushrooms of the Upper Midwest is a great little book. That looks like a chanterelle but the best way to tell is if those gills dent or can be teased out in sheets.
I do have the book "100 Edible Mushrooms" by Michael Kuo. I'll have to peruse deeper. Thankee.
@@shugemery Chantrelles smell fruity too, as opposed to some of the toxic species like Jack-o-lanterns. It's also helpful to note the type of of substrate the mushroom is growing in (oak, pine, etc.)
@@tonyk2796 Mucho appreciato. This one was earthy smelling.
Shug, nice one. I would loved to have gotten in on some of that metaphysical conversation though. Seriously. People go missing out there. Why?! Hey, man, if you did a guest trek once every 3 months or so it would be a great thing. I mean invite someone out with you. Podcast it. People would jump at the chance. So, you are slowly selling me on the hammock. Closer every day. Rock on and God bless.
They wander off and get lost, walk into to bliss. Could be a choice. Could be they erred.
I am mulling doing a podcast rather than videos. But my time in the woods is treasured time and I'm not fond of always camping with those I do not know well enough. Talking total strangers.
If you try hammocks be patient as it takes time to dial in.
Many thanks, good sir. I totally understand. I’m private like that too. People enjoy what you have to offer. God speed
