Packit Gourmet Meal..........and some Karl

[MountainManD]

looks realy good im gonna get me some

[shugemery]

@MountainManD They are a tasty break. Some require a bit of mixing but worth it on the trail every few days.

[PracticalBushcraft1]

LOL You crack me up. Whenever I need a 4am laugh, I just put your vids on. Been really tough losing my dad a few weeks ago and the laughter you give to me is very valued indeed. The music is appreciated too:) I make my own dehydrat6ed meals to cut down on costs, they are easy, better for me and easy to make. Keep up the good work Shug.

[shugemery]

@PracticalBushcraft1 I regret your Dad's passing. Never easy. Glad they gave you a wee laugh. Peace.

[primitiveskillsful]

iv seen this vid hundreds of time, and i stil love the karl-part best, thats the hole point of watching shugs vids, karl is allways at the end

[shugemery]

@primitiveskillsful Thanks...that was a fun scene to shoot.

[primitiveskillsful]

@shugemery i bet i was, damn your doing karl imitations perfect

[wb5plj]

Wow, ua... ok caught me off guard. you are a very odd man, strangely compelling video. keep it up.

[shugemery]

@wb5plj The Critics are flummoxed)))))) Thanks...odd is my calling card. Normal makes me drowsy.

[Lean540]

I luv ya Shug. I'm not really allowed to, .......but I do, ta good lord knows I do. It says right in the Canadian edition of the " Alberta Manual Of Bushmen" that you are not allowed to love the people from the Minnesota state, cause we share too many gene's but, I say " I luv me some Shug and family" so, that's enough for me. So anyways, I luv ya Shug, from yer ole Scottish cousin in Alberta. Say hi to ya pa fer me and keep on swangin.

[shugemery]

@Lean540 Been touring with a bunch of Canadians...the best.

[TheOverlord2010]

Love your videos Shug, always make me smile.

[shugemery]

@TheOverlord2010 I do so thankee.

[4Chasintv]

I'm with BigJake, I laugh so loud that the wife came around the corner to see what I was watchin'. Hope to see ya on the trails in 'The Gorge'. I'll be there in April, ground sleeping not hanging.

[shugemery]

@4Chasintv Man....enjoy that Gorge! Thankee !

[4Chasintv]

@shugemery BTW, where's one of your favorite spots to record some footage in the Linville Gorge? Hopefully I'll be able to get some good footage there this year so that I can use it for my TV show. Hope the ol' arm is doing well.

[shugemery]

@4Chasintv Hawksbill is terrific!!!1

[BigJake4739]

"Got any potted meat in it?" I laughed out loud and worried that I'd wake the wife. Hope to hang with you some day Shug. BigJake

[shugemery]

@BigJake4739 That makes my heart happy!

[Weskanoy]

HAHAHA!! Oh, that's good stuff. The camera cuts to a new shot and you are dressed like Karl. That's awesome. Whooo buddy!

[shugemery]

@Weskanoy M-m-m-m-mm hum-m-m-m-m-m I reckon.

[MrDarrellSlover]

WOOOOO BUDDY great video shug

[shugemery]

@MrDarrellSlover Cheery cheers.

[phrankus2009]

Don't fret, Shug ... *MY* daughter makes me wait in the car, when she shops, for clothes ... says, " I'd hate to have to put something *I* like, back on the rack, JUST because YOU liked it too " .

[shugemery]

@phrankus2009 I feel ya'.

[earlymusicus]

Packit Gourmet looks gooood! And I SO want to learn to juggle! It's one of the things I've always wanted to learn.

[shugemery]

@earlymusicus Right good! Juggle....do 20 minutes a day...everyday until you learn. Many tutorials here on YT.

[hempseed57]

Good news Shug! The human brain is about 50% cholesterol so if you eat a low fat diet you get dumb.

[shugemery]

@hempseed57 Do what....I understand not the question. Was it a question or an answer?

I may be a bit thick. Haaaa

[hempseed57]

@shugemery I had noticed that you were talking about eating fats while hiking and its a good thing. Fat is a super source of energy, people eat straight butter during arctic expeditions to keep up energy levels. And also the brain is like I said 50% cholesterol. So basically my point is enjoy your fats cause they are good for you as long as you are aware of fats potency.

[CDoggsRandoms]

What kind of "beenie" are you wearing?

[shugemery]

@CDoggsRandoms BlackRockGear Down beanie

[trenttyre]

I found packit gourmet a few years ago and I usually get the bangers and mash, ramen rescue with chicken, chicken salad and sometimes i bring one of their strawberry cheesecake mixes ... best camp food i have ever had, next to fresh sushi of course.

[shugemery]

@trenttyre It is mighty fine grub for sure

[brianinsocal1]

Hey Shug, What material is that you used for your cozy?

Thanks

[shugemery]

@brianinsocal1 It is Reflectix.

[bowtechgeneral]

love your vids Shug

[shugemery]

@bowtechgeneral Thankee!

[coolkayaker1]

Mrs. Spencer brought me in and it was clear that Professor Spencer was sick, I mean coughing and feeling peckish and all. I was scared to even be in room, even if he wasn't doing all that goddam coughing. But he was.--Holden, The Catcher In The Rye.

[shugemery]

@coolkayaker1 I feel like the Prof. Spencer....hacky.

[udollsbabygirl1]

I absolutely LOVE your videos! You are so hysterically funny! Such creativity! This is the first time and most I have laughed since last year!  My mother passed away in December 2010 and I have been so sad for the past nearly five months since coming back home (I was out of state where she lived taking care of her for six months). You are my new "grief therapy"! Keep up the amazing videos.

[shugemery]

@udollsbabygirl1 Happy to be of some wee comfort. Never easy losing your Mama.

[TeslaRifle]

Yes! The cluck is back! I still have that song in my car from when you emailed it to me a few years ago LOL. You and Kelsey should release your music on CD.

[shugemery]

@TeslaRifle Cluck on!

[TRACKERV]

Shug, i just got up off of the floor I have watched all of your videos and this one really did me in when you did the Frosty Cream scene, I am not kidding I must be crazy - I have bought everything that you showed in your 6 day pack and I have yet to sleep outside one night. I bet i have spent $1500 but whoo buddy am I ready.

You really should pursue marketing your videos and endorsing some of these outdoor products. Everyone loves you man.

Take care and please keep the videos coming.

Michael

[shugemery]

@TRACKERV I had a blast shooting that.

Sorry you bought all that stuff. I am never really trying to get folks to spend . just showing what I have 'cause they ask.

You will have fun with it though.

Happy camping.

[jauboite]

carl & a crunchy hat jarmusch, to boot! a twofer T-riffic!

[shugemery]

@jauboite Mighty kind of ya'.

[earlymusicus]

Because of this video, Shug, I watched the movie "Sling Blade" for the first time. (I tend to get to movies long after everyone else has seen them.) Very powerful movie. Your Karl Childers is bang on! Well done!

[shugemery]

@earlymusicus Whoooooo Buddy. I own that movie and I don't own many.

Watch it randomly.

[earlymusicus]

I wish I could learn to juggle!! It's one of those things on my list of "things to learn before I croak!" LOL

[shugemery]

@earlymusicus 20 minutes a day....every day and you will be!

[r5t9m0]

Big Ups to ya Shug, from NYC, I am actually considering getting a hammock and trying that for the first time this season, yer to blame. Anyway, if you like Billy Bob's Carl Childers characterization, you ought to check out an obscure film starring Robert Duval made in the early 1970's called Tomorrow (adapted from Faulkner). I think you might find Duval's characterization of Jackson Fentry makes an interesting comparison to Billy Bob's Childers .

[shugemery]

@r5t9m0 I have seen it and thought the same thing! I'm a huge Duvall fan.Liked the woman who was staying in his cabin ....great face.

[MichiganTNP]

I like the Carl ending it rocks. - schmoo -

[shugemery]

@MichiganTNP Thankee schmoo

[HOgan4512]

brilliant!

[shugemery]

@HOgan4512 I am bowing deeply here))))) Thanks.

[19leon73]

Shug, I'm a movie watching guy, I realized that I never have seen Sling Blade, watched it a couple of days ago, great movie and I loved Karl.

You make a good Karl interpretation.

[shugemery]

@19leon73 It is one of the five movies I actually own.

Thankee.....

[FatDaddy4Fun]

Well, I liked the movie. I didn't like the ending though. I wouldn't say I was a FAN. But I did like the movie ok. But I would say I'm a Shug Emery fan ( I reckon). = )

[shugemery]

@FatDaddy4Fun Thanks man......

It ain't for all ...that is true.

[mooseyou2]

good stuff

[shugemery]

@mooseyou2 I bow here.

[siikboy]

Hey Shug! By the way, we have Coffee Crisp Eggs now in Quebec! Ask your daughter!

[shugemery]

@siikboy I am e-mailing her now to beg her to post some to Dear Ol' Dad!!!!

[RitchiePowell]

Shug-san! Ohisashi buri desu!! Watashi ha genki desu!

[ScoutsNOA]

[shugemery]

@ScoutsNOA Can't ....born in N. Ireland. Plus....I am a lazy and dodgy.!!!!

[RyanCranberries]

i watched the first half or so of this video (love the videos by the way) and you made the sling blade reference. I'd never heard of this movie so i paused this video and looked up sling blade on Netflix and watched. Good movie!! then i resumed this video and loved your version of the movie xD

[shugemery]

@RyanCranberries Now ...it will all make sense! Cheers

[DaneStolthed]

Shug, your the best man, you keep me laughing! Whooo buddy! You better trademark that saying.

[shugemery]

@DaneStolthed Maybe so ........ Much favor to you.

[dougparadis]

lmao that karl impression in priceless, ever since i saw slingblade karl shows up through me some times too! MMHmmm haha

[shugemery]

@dougparadis Karl is infectious....... Thankee den.

[nick29log]

Karl came out in the first one of your vids I ever watched Probably why I subscribed. love your videos and I agree with @TheAmishking you need your own show

[shugemery]

@nick29log Cool to know....it tickles me that so many know of Karl!

[TheAmishking]

I have gotten in touch with the travel channel, and have told them to watch your videos and give you a show of your own. I expect to be hired as a writer on said show, and possibly be on the production team. See ya in LA shug.Whoo buddy!

[shugemery]

@TheAmishking Don't forget catering! Will they travel to my back yard?

I thankee

[mikedkc]

mmmmm...reckon you know how ta cook in the backcountry. Awright den.

[neffofrog]

Fantastic video. Gotta love the Karl.

[1JEDIMAN]

SHUG ......you're the best my man!

Brought me right out of one those "potted meat" funks!!

and currently on the lookout for some....."TATERS"

CAREFUL with that... "KAISER BLADE" now.......hear?

[shugemery]

@1JEDIMAN Sorry about the potted meat funk.......glad to help you out of it!

[utubeworms]

Amazing.

[Captkujo1]

lmao slingblade part two starring sean emery

[shugemery]

@Captkujo1 I'd like to play Scooter too!

[thesimpleoutdoors]

Always Good Shug, Thanks

[shugemery]

@thesimpleoutdoors Y'elcome and Whoooo Buddy

[XCritonX]

You should check out the "Marks daily apple" blog. Great advice on healthy living. Fat is actually really important for durable energy, especially when living out doors.

Live like Grok! (You will see if you go to the site!)

[TheTonyjara]

What type of software do you use to edit your videos?...and is it user-friendly for the tech-chalanged?....it would be cool to see you do a review on the Tuscan Beef Stew packit gourmet meal with another person?

[shugemery]

@TheTonyjara I use iMovie '11 and Final Cut Express.

Sounds good the Tuscan but I will more than likely be solo as the meeting in pre-production are shorter))))

[MikeInBradenton]

Luv it Shug.

"Watching water boil." My wife says the same thing about me. I could listen to you and Hiram Cook describe paint drying.

by the way...

Karl IS in you. You, like I, have used the word Reckon in a serious conversation. Words like Bed used to have two syllables (Bay-ed) When I first found your channel, you scared me. You look like my cousin. Do you have any people in the Whiteville or Willmington, NC area?

Now come huuug my Neck.

[shugemery]

@MikeInBradenton I grew up in Charlotte from grade for 'till college.....so maybe!

[MikeInBradenton]

@shugemery LOL!!! I was born in Charlotte... 8 years before my mom and I moved to Florida in 75.

[medic2807]

Shug, since you are a Sling Blade fan, have you ever seen "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" I don't think you can be a fan of one and not the other. The Cohen Brothers make a good film.

[shugemery]

@medic2807 Many times .....my kind of music.

[coolkayaker1]

Karl gives me the willies.--Coolkayaker1, The Blister in the Crotch, Chapter 1.

[shugemery]

@coolkayaker1 The ultimate willie-maker.

[coolkayaker1]

It's really too bad that so much crumby stuff is a lot of fun sometimes. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 9

[shugemery]

@coolkayaker1 I just ordered the book....

[coolkayaker1]

@shugemery That's rich and all. I mean, ordering the book and all. all those goddam phonies down at Pencey Prep can go to hell. All except Mr. Spencer. He's alright, I suppose.

[coolkayaker1]

Peckish. You HAVE been hanging with the Grizzly one!

[shugemery]

@coolkayaker1 It is a smart person word to be sure.

[Steveanders0n]

Nice vid . Ever hear of Red Skelton?

[shugemery]

@Steveanders0n He made my Dad laugh as I sat there intrigued by Red.

[MrItchyElbow]

Git-er-in-ya!

[shugemery]

@MrItchyElbow I did and I liked it. Next.....'Naner pudding!

[mwig50]

Love the music at the beginning, is that you playing it? Sounds a right bit Celtic-ish/Irish Great vid Shug, loved Sling Blade Theater!

[shugemery]

@mwig50 Yeah.... "Cluck Ol' Hen" ....we Irished it up. Thankee there Feller.

[1jump2many]

Cornbread Toasties? Wasn't that the name of a 70's southern jam band? :-)

[shugemery]

@1jump2many Too funny. I miss the 70's.......

[GDeadphans]

That last one looked like you put more thought than I have into it and was a truly great production!

[shugemery]

@JimboJitsu I put these together fairly quickly. Have to squeeze them in while my wife is working. Thanks

[JimboJitsu]

@shugemery Lol, more thought than I have for sure! You are a true professional quality video producer and I am very impressed! and by that I mean your video has more thought than I am capable of... no real connection with time was meant. Thanks again for the happy times video!

[shugemery]

Love to see that water boil

[shugemery]

[lmsloan]
