[lipa90]

hi how you record without holding camera in yours hands??? thanks

[shugemery]

@lipa90 I strapped it on my bike helmet

[banjar27]

I have referred to the saying "stand on my head and eat peanut butter" now for years when referring on going to the extreme on things. This is a fictional statement, however, Shug....I do believe that is something that you would actually do if provoked...lol Your videos are the BEST!

[shugemery]

@banjar27 I love peanut butter anyways I can get it.

[JimboJitsu]

thanks for the grins my friend, great vid!

[shugemery]

@JimboJitsu Your a good feller...

[JimboJitsu]

@shugemery Thanks my friend and same to you.

[earlymusicus]

[shugemery]

[Norskand67]

I was hopong for the ol cannon ball. :)

[shugemery]

@Norskand67 Man....I shoulda. And a Jacknife!

[CDoggsRandoms]

I guess that people who live in solitude do go crazy and are imused and delighted by jumping off ladders and riding unicycles(no offense).

[shugemery]

@CDoggsRandoms I do and maybe am....but I'm not in solitude .

[CDoggsRandoms]

@shugemeryHaha, excuse me of my negative comment. I really like watching your videos. Happy Trails! =)

[shugemery]

@CDoggsRandoms Cool....I am blessed with wife, daughter and dead cat.

[greatwf]

[shugemery]

@greatwf ...it only hurts if ya' live))))))

[xUbastardx]

Your neighbors must be used to this kind of thing by now I assume?

[shugemery]

@MDuchek They don't even look up!

[nudgabollocks]

'Swinging Egress'. Oh yeah.......

[shugemery]

@nudgabollocks  It has a nice flow..... Cheers and a cuppa.

[yacrafter]

Ummm.... you may want reinforce that fence post that your hammock is tied to. Your egress may be unexspected.

[shugemery]

@yacrafter I know.....I'm curious to see the stress I can put on it. May be a project soon....

[buckshotbob1]

Shug, you are one crazy hammock fan ! Keep the videos coming and keep Sector 7 Secure !

[shugemery]

@buckshotbob1 I do like to play hammocky......

[Nebulax123]

I am working on a way to deep fry chocolate coated spam. I take it I can send you an order once I have it perfected?

[shugemery]

@Nebulax123 Oh yes.....

[CiaranRooney125]

Shug..... You are a God amoung Mortals :) This is so epic!

[shugemery]

@CiaranRooney125 I got an epic!!!! Whoooooo. I am a mortal for sure 'cause I'm sore.

[danderson8127]

young man, you are my hero... got potted meat?

[shugemery]

@danderson8127 I do actually...in the camp food box. Saving it for the Gorge. Let it age and temper....

[oldstairdog]

oooh myyyyyy goddddd!  Califroniain for "woooobuddy"

[shugemery]

@oldstairdog I love it!

[CdnLifeguard71]

Nicely done Shug. I think you missed one, the under the hammock flip over to mount although I think the circus made up for that.

Nate

[shugemery]

@CdnLifeguard71 I will break that down and try it.

[Nebulax123]

Spam after all is one of the 5 major food groups Chocolate, Pizza, Beer, and Ice Cream being the rest.

[shugemery]

@Nebulax123 I had spam and chocolate...very continental.

[shugemery]

@symmetrydesignlab Sounds sassy!

[freewill51]

The best non-camping video to date! I love the t-shirt! Tell us the truth, dude, Your local emergency room doctors and staff send you Christmas cards every year, Right?

[shugemery]

@freewill51 And Birth-day cards.

[mooseyou2]

amazing

i suddenly have a craving for spam

thanks for the video

[shugemery]

@mooseyou2 My craving is relentless..... for Spam

[ScoutsNOA]

Shug with your balance you need to try Judo.........no for real.

[shugemery]

@ScoutsNOA That has always intrigued me.

[trcmn09]

Wow Shug, your one very, very entertaining guy...and you never, ever fail to put a smile on my face!!! So here's a big thanks all the way from South Wales, UK!

[shugemery]

@trcmn09 It is my calling and mission. Have a Crunchie for me...

[bigsammieking]

Shug Ninja, 

[shugemery]

@bigsammieking Prepare!

[madogblue]

Shug, you have lost none of your clown training over the years! How much harder is it to ride the giraffe than a normal uni? PS: I was waiting for the fence post to snap when you were swingin in the hammock

[shugemery]

@madogblue The giraffe is all about mount!

I heard that post squawking....

[RitchiePowell]

Omo shiroi deu!!

[shugemery]

@RitchiePowell Every day is for sure. live hard whilst you can. Hoping the best for all of you in Japan Richie!!!!!!

[MichiganTNP]

First - sweet vid man you are funny and have a ton of good info.

Second - Are you a carny or rennie?

- schmoo -

[shugemery]

@MichiganTNP Yessir....I'm more in the Carny camp.

[MichiganTNP]

@shugemery I thought so I am more of a rennie be safe friend.

[coolkayaker1]

If you really want to hear about it, I'm goddamn shocked. You didn't play one segment backwards and all. I think my brother DB--he's filthy rich out in Hollywood and drives around in a Jaguar like some star or something--would have run the film both ways. It's corny, really. That ladder part kills me, it really does. It's one hell of a phony way to enter a hammock and all. It gives me a depression if I watch it enough. My parents would have two hemorrhages a piece if they saw it.

[shugemery]

@coolkayaker1 Forward only for me.....always moving forward. No reverse. I am the Pharoh of Phoney....

[beeman715]

Great vid man. I gotta try that swinging egress. The rest I think may be hazardous to my health.

[shugemery]

@beeman715 Try it....like swinging and jumping out of a swing set.

[psychodynamics1]

Cheers Shug, you made me laugh, it's always a pleasure to see

the antics you get up to, keep going buddy look forward to your next one

[shugemery]

@psychodynamics1 Antics keep the spirit bright.

[grahamcracker48]

@kvg44gbs it you get the eno hammock all of those support 400 lbs.

[shugemery]

@grahamcracker48 i will when I fatten up more!

[Mrlnwizard8]

Spamfabulous!

[shugemery]

@Mrlnwizard8 Too good!

[AaronAlso]

Sensai would not be happy with the way you are executing those forward rolls.

[shugemery]

@AaronAlso Sensai is hard to please......

[TomsBackwoods]

what the wiered thing is Shug. I did that same thing yesterday and was wishing I taped it. Thank you!

[shugemery]

@TomsBackwoods Haaaaa....you should for sure.

[ekhaat]

Like your panties... and socks... and stuff...

Can't wait to get hanging again, it's been way too long

Cheers

[shugemery]

@ekhaat I did not truly think out my costume for this shoot. Should have checked the mirror.

[steeln99336]

Thanks for the video Shug. Love the Spam shirt!

[shugemery]

@steeln99336 I treasure that shirt.

[mwig50]

I have a hard enough time getting in a hammock the right way now, I don't think I'd survive doing it the "Shug way" lol

[shugemery]

@mwig50 Any hammock entry is a good entry....

[chitlinray]

With all that energy you must keep your wife tired......lol

[shugemery]

@chitlinray I tend to wear her down but she has good resolve.

[BoIwar]

You are weird man. I love the vid. Keep it up...

Kind regards from Gothenburg Sweden

[shugemery]

@BoIwar Thanks ....in a weird way.

[tylerdurden1971]

@shugemery MMMMMMMHhhhhmmmm I Recon I Like My SPAM With A Little Mustard On It MMMhhhhhMmm

[ArtisanTony]

[shugemery]

@ArtisanTony Naw ..... you'll live....you'll live!

[nuckkingfuts]

[nuckkingfuts]

[shugemery]

[lGaming]

[BCoutdoorsurvival]

Shug, were you in scouts?

[shugemery]

[51foxy]

Hi Shug you are one crazy man, if you ever visit the uk let me know we could go camping together. look forward to the next video. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL .

paul.

[shugemery]

@51foxy That would be fun. Kit load of Crunchies!

[MrMoodang]

hyperthyroid?

[shugemery]

@MrMoodang No.....ex-alcoholic!

[CampfireTalk]

I'm going to have to work on the swinging egress, looks like a hoot!

[shugemery]

@CampfireTalk It was a hoot for sure.

[cdltpx]

If you were paid in smiles you would be the richest man I know.

[shugemery]

@cdltpx A right goodie.

[huguenot67]

Where'd you get the SPAM t-shirt??

[shugemery]

@huguenot67 Online....google Spam Museum.

[spence0324]

Bored are we?? If you snap a bone old man it's gonna be a loooooonnnngggg summer.

[shugemery]

@spence0324 No......just distraction issues!

[RDPproject]

You wacked out old freak of a man....lol

Loved it Shug.

Top marks buddy....

Rob.

[shugemery]

@RDPproject I call it as I see it. Whack Jack.

[RallohE]

Mighty funny stuff Shug of the Ladder Clan!

[shugemery]

@RallohE Wait 'til I get the extension ladder out!

[nohill4climber]

Whacked out is good!! Thanks Shug!

[shugemery]

@nohill4climber I like whack.....

[TheDogDew]

Thought that was a ladder I saw in your pack on the L. Gorge trip ; )

[shugemery]

@TheDogDew Always keep one in the kit.

[Fishpig65]

Ever considered switchen to DECAF?!! 38 days till my first hang in the Manitou!! Great Video.

[shugemery]

@Fishpig65 DeCaf....why even live then???!!!

You will love it there.

[fustratedfisher]

Hey bud,I am bord myself,the time of year when the snow is patchy,so you can walk for ten yards then you need to put on the snowshoes for 20 feet,and so on.It is very tiresome so I just wait a couple of weeks till the snow is patchy but not deep.I can't wait to go......And Be safe buddy,but live life to the fullest. your hammock form neighbor,,,,tiredhiker(Shane)

[shugemery]

@fustratedfisher Our Northwoods still have a bit.....

[Nebulax123]

By the way people spam is natures perfect food. Slice it, fry it and eat it with anything it makes all foods taste better! If Elvis had eaten spam instead of fried bananas he would still be with us!

[shugemery]

@Nebulax123 Spam...that porkish delight....I crave it morning, noon and night.

[Nebulax123]

If I tried that ladder thing I would have just dug a hole in the ground when I hit and my wife would have shoveled a few leaves over me and called it good. *LOL*

[shugemery]

@Nebulax123 I was digging some holes too.

[TheTonyjara]

you must live close to lake owasso in roseville..because the bird singing in the back ground is very familar..I lived there from 1982 to 2001. 4 more weeks and my camping season starts...keep on making these great videos shug...how about Karl singing mmm mmm mmm from crash test dummies???

[shugemery]

@TheTonyjara  I do....!

Karl singin' .....scary.

[donaldphinney]

What would be a cool trick is to see you get all your camping gear packed up and head off to the woods on your Muni-cycle. Have seen you on the Muni, have seen your pack, and have seen you show off some neat camping tricks. I would guess the next logical progression would be to combine them. Perhaps even play a bit of mandolin while your doing it....

[shugemery]

@donaldphinney I'm tired thinking about it!

[btsseeker]

"Spring fever" or something has set in...I love it. Thanks for the vid!!

[shugemery]

@btsseeker The fever is hot!

[bmelville]

Of all the videos on YouTube, I know that when a video of yours pops up I'm going to laugh and probably learn something! You are my favorite 'tuber'

[shugemery]

@bmelville Thanks....info-tainment.....so­meone called it . That tickled me.

[FatDaddy4Fun]

btw, went camping last night. Ate a box of cherry pop tarts in your honor. lol.

[shugemery]

@FatDaddy4Fun Now I am honored. Those cherry ones are good. I need to rotate those in. Proud that you ate the whole box. Whoooo Buddy!

[recon66661]

you make me laugh Shug thanks

[shugemery]

@recon66661 I appreciate that. Applause is like a handshake but laughter is like a big ol' hug.

[KaytShelg]

After the day at work I had, I come home to find this vid loaded - Thanks Shug. As you would say "Whoooo Buddy that's entertainment! I say that's a most excellent way to lift one's spirits!

[shugemery]

@KaytShelg I am humbled......but my humility has passed and I'm happy to do some spirit lifting.

[mchipman1]

Lovin that shirt Shug....

[shugemery]

@mchipman1 I treasure that garb.

[1timby]

Shug I see that it's summer up in your neck of the woods. At least you're dressed like it is.....LOL

[shugemery]

@1timby It was a tease day!

[TheAmishking]

what, no trampoline? chicken.

[shugemery]

@TheAmishking Had one for the kids. Then it become a large lawn ornament.

[osgkar]

thanks shug



[shugemery]

@osgkar Your welcome Osgkar.

[Ggreenvideos]

Nice my friend ;o) Don't worry, I won't try that at home...hehe! I'm not a one wheel man ;o)

[shugemery]

@Ggreenvideos Well the snow is fading and the tall wheel called.....

[rogernuffer]

Shug's just keepin' it real.

[UnipsychleProduction]

Stupid cheeseburger bird...

[shugemery]

@UnipsychleProduction And a bulbous vulture.

[troybv6]

I would love to be your neighbor just to hear the whoo buddys and see ladders balancing over the fence and the lot,,, makes me smile just seeing what you post.

[shugemery]

@troybv6 I get invited to their parties!!!!

[alexn159]

hah you are such a clown!

literally

[shugemery]

@alexn159 'tis so true......... wish I was better at math.

[990plm]

Water the elbow.....hmmmm...nalgene bottle....camel back...see where I'm going with that? 

[shugemery]

@990plm Juicy joints.

[kvg44gbs]

hey what are some max weight limits you have seen with some backpackable hammocks.

[cdltpx]

@kvg44gbs They make them big enough for 350.

[kvg44gbs]

@cdltpx thx i weight about 280 then considering my gear would be close to 300 prob thx.

[cdltpx]

@kvg44gbs When you are heavy all things go way up in price we have an option? I started walking last night. Hopefully that will result in some reversal in my weight, They keep raising prices looks I am going to be on a fish and wild greens diet.

[shugemery]

@cdltpx Walking works wonders. Really. Keep at it.

[shugemery]

@kvg44gbs On hammockforums i read of some hefty lads hanging happily.

[kvg44gbs]

@shugemery sounds good. I might consider getting one someday now.

[troyr322]

You are such a fool in the most wondrous way.

[shugemery]

@troyr322 Good remark. You see fool in the right way.

[990plm]

Ummm... I'm, cornfused. I thought everybody entered and egressed a hammock this way. Is there another way?!?

Never mind, I don't want to know. I'll stick with the ladder/unicycle/hot air balloon method...it's just what I was raised with, and its familiar.

[shugemery]

@990plm

Pole vault entry.

Hot air ballon.....high drama!!!!!

[WetPaddles]

hahahaha love it! im 26 and if i even attempted to put a ladder on 2 legs Im sure the remaining 2 legs would snap before i even hit 45 degrees. :-) I appreciate the message you sent about the Northern Hang! Former @Tuniqlifestyle (Steve) here. :-) I haven't been able to hang on to "forums" recently its hectic up here in the frigid north lol. Hope to share some adventures soon! Cheers Shug! Very fun vid!

[shugemery]

@WetPaddles  Maybe see you there.....

[1jump2many]

I thought for sure you were going to incorporate jumping off the roof of the nut hut during your intro. The ladder is risky enough. You definitely proved your guidelines are sturdy. Another great video.

[shugemery]

@1jump2many Believe me....for a moment I thought about it!

They did not budge at all.

[nedeljkomostar]

Whooooo buddy from zoooooddy :D

zoran
