Stormcrow & Shug Take a Swift Slog

[sok8888]

I am just trolling..... but with all your experience hammock camping in the cold, didn't it ever occur to you to make a double-hammock so that 2 of you can share some warm? Bwahahahaha.

[shugemery]

@sok8888 I draw the line at cuddlin' with Gingers.....

[Lean540]

Couple good belly laughs in this one, nice work boys!!! :)

[shugemery]

@Lean540 Fun time......thankee!

[ScoutsNOA]

I missed that the first time "Cuben Town" lol

[NoCombustion]

I have one of those insulated GSI mugs coming, Because its 3.2 ounces and lighter then a Titanium Double Wall Snow Peak Mug.

[shugemery]

@NoCombustion They seem very light. Carry on...

[zekehooper]

The Ginger brothers. The first time I saw you and Stormcrow together I thought he was your son...LOL. It was the hair. But Y'all do look alot alike. Great vidio. That is some pretty country.

[shugemery]

@zekehooper He is like a son and brother! It is pretty nice up there...

[btsseeker]

Thanks again Shug!!!!!!!!!!

[shugemery]

@btsseeker Y'elcome...thank you for watching.

[3246mms]

Oops,

I said they were sitting...what I should have said is "Playing on a rock!"

Happy trails,

barefoot

[3246mms]

Well, that was just what I needed to have with my morning coffee...the sight of two gingers sitting on a rock again, looking out over the landscape, enjoying nature and each others' company. Don't you two ever quit!!!!! LOL

Yeah, I can absolutely say that I have NEVER been cold sleeping under a StormCrow top quilt, while laying on top of a StormCrow under quilt...the prototype Deep Winter UQ does look nice, but I still think that my StormCrow UQ is mucho prettier! LOL

Tanks mon, Enjoyed!!!!

[shugemery]

@3246mms What a special gingery time had we....

[1jeepcam]

Hey Shug, been watching your videos for a long time now...FINALLY decided to start subscribing to your channel as well as others. Hope to become more involved with youtube and post more of my little hiking trips in the near future. Glad your doing well with the scare you had. Love your humor and great skills you have mastered as a professional entertainer.

[shugemery]

@1jeepcam I do so thankee....

[CiaranRooney125]

Woooo Buddy! I'm no were near as crazy as Shug, but once i slept out in -5 with no mat / underblanket, sleeping bag or fire. Needless to say that was the longest night of my life, but i still had fun :)

[shugemery]

@CiaranRooney125 Wow....shivers))))

[wbfos]

Shug time to scrub that pot...

[shugemery]

@wbfos I just did!!!!

[theskyehiker]

Thanks Shug. I'll be ordering one!

[theskyehiker]

Great video as usual. Got a question for you. I'm thinking of getting the cat tarp, cuben variety... you think it would hold up to a thru hike? Love your vids... makes me smile.

[shugemery]

@theskyehiker I do....it patches with good ol' duct tape if it gets a poke. It is really light.

[deltafortress]

8:05 made me laugh so hard, thanks good way to start my morning

[shugemery]

@deltafortress Glad you got a giggle out of it.

[nedeljkomostar]

whooooo buddyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[shugemery]

@nedeljkomostar All secure.

[ColoradoCamper]

Looks like Stormcrow is testing out a -15* version of his Incubator UQ. I have been eyeing his 0*Incubator myself. It's a great price for a full-length UQ. Shug, have you ever tried one of his full-length UQs?

[shugemery]

@ColoradoCamper I have never tried one of his.....but I hear nothing but kudos.

[danderson8127]

i got the pleasure to meet Thorwren and StormCrow at the fall MAHHA in MD. what nice people and what a beautiful family! sure hope i get to meet you someday Shug!

sbd :)

[shugemery]

@danderson8127 They are mighty fine folk! Hope to meet you to sometimes out in the pineys on a hang trip.

[Mrlnwizard8]

Over the mountain. Once at the croak of a Raven who crost it,The light retreated,The landskip darken'd, The melody deaden'd, The Master whisper'd "Follow The Gleam." bits and pieces of LORD TENNYSON.. Your trek with StormCrow reminded me of the poem.

[shugemery]

@Mrlnwizard8 I feel smarter for having just read this.

[ausurvival]

Man, that food just looked too good! I'm hungry now!

[shugemery]

@ausurvival T'was a fine backwoods nosh.

[hardrockcharlie1]

Even a cold & wet rainy day in the woods is better than a dry warm day at work. Great stuff. Some day I'll get up there to the MN Pineys & do some hiking.

[shugemery]

@hardrockcharlie1 True words!

[1jump2many]

Another fun video, thanks Shug. Gingerfest 2011 :-)

[shugemery]

@1jump2many I do thankee..

[Tancrad]

my girlfriend just said you look like wiliam defoe

[shugemery]

@Tancrad I'll take that!! Sgt. Elias...

[littlegreenwon]

I always find it funny how in your videos the leaves are already gone and they're just now nicely turning here in SC.

[shugemery]

@littlegreenwon Enjoy it down there.

[nickfish03]

haha, great as always

[shugemery]

@nickfish03 Cheers nickfish.

[eschwebach]

Great vid, I love the SHT. How late in the year do you still use the bear bag? Shouldn't they all be in their hammocks for the winter by now?

[shugemery]

@eschwebach I use one until snow falls.

[txcaleath]

good to see you guys having a good time...spent the weekend in my diy...around freezing..gotta work on something to keep the tootsies warm though. Glad to see the arm isnt keeping you down.

[shugemery]

@txcaleath Thanks...wrap a down vest or the likes around your hammock foot end.

[shugemery]

@assym2006 The woods had a hobbity feel for sure.

[RDPproject]

heh heh heh heh...I would love to have seen the looks on the peoples faces if you had broken out in song during lunch.... :-)

Thanks for the upload Shug....was fun to watch.

Woooo Buddy.

Rob

[shugemery]

@RDPproject Believe me....I was tempted but did not want to horrify Stormcrow))))))

[TheCelticwizzard]

Looks like you two had a mighty fine time in the Piney Woods. Gingers DO rule!!!

[shugemery]

@TheCelticwizzard Thanks...we did we did!

[whoopieslings]

Looks like y'all had a good time. Hope to make up that way myself someday. Pretty country.

[shugemery]

@whoopieslings It is a fine trail and Northern Minnesota is mighty fine! Thankee. We enjoyed our whoopieslings.

[boomer00000]

@whoopieslings cant beat the SHT.

[wilemuse]

This is great stuff!

[shugemery]

@wilemuse Mucho Obligato!

[hobbieslistentomusic]

I am having fun watching your video do more trips

[shugemery]

@hobbieslistentomusic I have had three lately...pretty lucky am I. Thanks.

[normbld]

Love the videos, I noted that your using the hudson river over quilt, do you prefer to use an over quilt to a sleeping bag, if so why?

[shugemery]

@normbld I use a quilt all the time in the hammock since the under insulation is under me. No zipper and lighter and I just tuck the sides in and my hammock holds it against me.

[007vauxhall]

Nice trip guys, loved it...More I say.....More. :-)

[shugemery]

@007vauxhall Ahhh....wish there were more to be had!!

[RDPproject]

@007vauxhall

You just did a walk....havnt you had enough already Paul..... lol.... :-P

[billwiggy]

Solomon Grundy need coffee

[shugemery]

@billwiggy ...need coffee badly do Soloman Grundy. Funny

[mrriprock2]

A couple of red heads hanging in the piney woods. I see your using the Elite stove, don't remember you using that before, but with my memory, that's nothing new. What's with the switch? All secure in balmy NC, although it did get down to 38 last night...Dash Riprock

[shugemery]

@mrriprock2 The Elite is a pour and light with the pot stand built in....just too easy! And a hot burner...

[sweetypie000]

Always a pleasure watching your vids

tnx

[shugemery]

@sweetypie000 Sure nice of you to say.

[Ggreenvideos]

That was fun :o) Stormcrow looked warm! Greetings from the cold snowy north boys :o))))

[shugemery]

@Ggreenvideos Warm and quasi jacked-up on Choclatino Mocha Toffee!

[craiggulley]

have you ever eaten at Our Place in Finland MN. It was right by the intersection of Hwy 1 and Hwy 7 in Finland- great fish sandwich, nice people.

[shugemery]

@craiggulley Not as of yet! But I shall on your recommendation.

[EconoChallenge]

How did we miss this one. Good to see you guys out. Stormcrow is making some really warm stuff. Awesome.  I love these online businesses.

[shugemery]

@EconoChallenge He is a stalwart backwoods friend.! He has a terrific business going...took over their lives.

[tmaloney71]

Shug...you're like my lil Irish, hammock camping, bein' in the woods, acting goofy cuz it's fun, Youtube posting best friend I've never had the honor of meeting. You inspire me.

[shugemery]

@tmaloney71 Too true....I am))))

[stratguy5150]

Another classic!

[shugemery]

@stratguy5150 I hope so! I love a classic.....

[wx9frq]

I actually laughed out loud at "We use our ginger powers to grow small"!! 

[shugemery]

@wx9frq Whoooo Buddy Yes...a laugh is good!

[1timby]

How did you guys miss the snow storm?

Thanks for taking us along on your trip.

L8TR Shug

[shugemery]

@1timby We were out Wednesday/Thursday night and in Minnesota...just cold rain.

[Cphobes]

Awesome! I've heard of the elusive Stormcrow and his magic sewing machine...

-Cphobes

p.s. You don't have to reply, really honest my ego isn't that big, though if you wanted to be nice I guess you could but don't if you don't want to...your choice really...

p.s.s. How'd the elite do?

[shugemery]

@Cphobes Yes....I captured him!

The Elite is now my go to stove....easy and hot. 2 1/4 cups of cold water to a boil with 1 ounce of heet.

[leetshots]

that english accent is terrible old boy! pip pip!

[shugemery]

@leetshots Hey...c'mon...it was early....I had not had me cofe.....I was groggy.

OK...your right.

[vek0zzzz]

Love your videos ..always entertaining , inspiring..Always cheers me up! Thank you :]]

[shugemery]

@vek0zzzz You just cheered me up!

[BCoutdoorsurvival]

Shug, you'd be so much fun to take on a backpacking trip! If only you'd put up with a ground sleeper (that is until I can afford a hammock)

[shugemery]

@BCoutdoorsurvival I care not how others camp....ground, trees, teepees, bivys....all the same to me. Just be in the woods.

[buzzbait4343]

Shug , you r the best man I ALWAYS look first to see if you have posted any videos you make my day when there is a new one . Do you ever get to Pa. ? Would love to get hiking with you someday . The poconos are right in my backyard and the AT 40 min away. would love for you to come out. No I am NOT an axe murderer. Lol

[shugemery]

@buzzbait4343 Never get that way for any trail time.....thanks for the invite.

[markshmily]

Your vids are always so much fun to watch.. thanks for sharing. =D

[shugemery]

@markshmily A ham will always share)))) I thank you.

[Nebulax123]

You and your coffee remind me of going ice fishing with my father many years ago. We would build a fire on the ice and toast cheese sandwiches and drink coffee from his thermos nothing fancy for my dad it was super hot, black as mud and so thick it would take a spoon 2 minutes to reach the side of the cup if you stuck it in the middle. One cup of that stuff and you were up for days. What I would not give for one more fishing trip with him. He was the best.

[shugemery]

@Nebulax123 That is an awesome story. Thanks for that.

[toemag]

You really have the best of it ;-) Love your humour and videos, keep them coming :-)

[shugemery]

@toemag I do ....at least on video. Cheers.

[fierfox121]

Good videos as always! Winter time is gettin mighty close and im lookin forward to some good winter backpacking! Hope you are too!

[shugemery]

@fierfox121 I concur on that!

[BCkayakcamper]

Fun times! Good to see Stormcrow out with ya...looks like it got a wee bit chilly! Thanks for taking us along! :)

[shugemery]

@BCkayakcamper A wet cold for sure but the wind was low so all good and fun.

[intenseangler]

Fun fun fun! And yup, there ain't nothin' like a good cup of hot "cofe" in the mornin' is there? ;-)

[shugemery]

@intenseangler Gotta have that thick black cofe!

[lazrbeak1983]

Awww one more week till i can get out in the piney woods. Thank you two gentlemen for letting us tag along on your voyages......

[shugemery]

@lazrbeak1983 I know that kind of anticipation....have a time

[dirtridermag44]

Thanks Shug, You must be doin' it right. Ya make me smile bud. I enjoy your adventures, whether it's in yer back yard testing gear or on a track out in the wild. Keep em coming. Peace

[shugemery]

@dirtridermag44 Mucho appreciated

[Gabbos]

I was going to ask what happened to sector 7 but at the end I learned sector 13 is an affiliate of sector 7, so that answered all my questions.

[shugemery]

@Gabbos Wait until you see sector 14....

[jdmredteg]

Another great vid, keep em coming!

[shugemery]

@jdmredteg Thankee....and I shall.

[MBlackford100]

Is all that fun really legal? Looked like a great time, wish I could have been their.

[shugemery]

@MBlackford100 There may be legal issues...but we are covert!

[danman911]

Thanks for the videos!!! I love the hammock rigs you guys use. I will definitely be getting a couple of those.

[shugemery]

@danman911 Both of ours are home-made....comfy.

[CampfireTalk]

Looks like you & Stormcrow made the best of it that first night. Nice campfire, pyro approved!

You pick some mighty fine places to have your after hike meal : )

Great one as always buddy.

[shugemery]

@CampfireTalk He was the pyro....I cheer him on and taunt him!

[paulmagid]

I dont know about you but I smell like bear cr@p after a couple of days out on the trail.  I am not fit to eat out in a restaurant or be in public in general. This is not the first video of yours where you go out and eat in civilized company right after you hike. How do you do it?

[shugemery]

@paulmagid Well I am no rose off the trail. I put on clean clothes at the car and wash up with a wet-wipe as well as I can.

[Walterispyro]

What would be a good under quilt to start out

[shugemery]

@Walterispyro More than likely a 20º. You need to decide on full length or 2/3 length. I like 2/3 as it takes less space in my pack. Look at Hammockgeardotcom.

[chucks970]

you guys make good vids together.

[shugemery]

@chucks970 We appreciate that....sure was fu but too fast.

[gcstorm1]

nice quilts stormcrow got there...where did he get them? ;)

my 7D winter burrow is huge in the hammock...that thing must be massive!

[shugemery]

@gcstorm1 Seems they just showed up on his work table!

[jpaho]

There must be a lot of iron in the water out on that trial because it made y’alls hair turn kinda rusty color.

[shugemery]

@jpaho That tannic is our Ginger brew.

[groundcontrol63]

beautiful country

[p3james]

will have to add this to my favs, thaks

[shugemery]

@p3james Cheers and all that stuff.

[makemineatriple2006]

Brrrr anything below 20degC is cold for me mate, I don't even get close to that when I pull my beer from the fridge!

[shugemery]

@makemineatriple2006 Now that made me grin!

[MichiganTNP]

I just love these videos........

Schmoo

[shugemery]

@MichiganTNP Mighty nice of you Schmoo.

[coast2coast00]

voyageurs is pronounced in the french way ^^

more like voya-jours

[shugemery]

@coast2coast00 I take heed in the Gaelic or Gallic way....

[oldmoney74]

I watch your vids all the time. Some of them I watch over and over. When my kids are bigger, I am off to do some of that. No freak'n doubt Shug.

[shugemery]

@oldmoney74 You just got to do it. Soul-soothing.

[kyletango]

And you guys claim that you are roughing it. HA!

[shugemery]

@kyletango We never said that...except to our wives.

[mwig50]

I'm so jealous, all I got to do today was some honey-do's :( Good stuff as always Shug, though I am surprised that Karl didn't make an appearance somewhere.

[shugemery]

@mwig50 I....I mean he did but the camera was in photo and not video mode. We had him in stereo with Stormcrow.

[TheNfields260]

Love ya Shug Love ya man, we will be at Northern Tier HAB Dec 26th! Can't wait to pass thru ur neck of the woods....the north woods of Minn E sota are calling me ! Leaving Tennessee just to get back to the real world !

[shugemery]

@TheNfields260 Hey...bring me a good ol' BBQ sandwich. Don't eat it on the drive...

Have fun up there.

[randykelli]

Good stuff, boys. Keep 'em comin'. -R

[shugemery]

@randykelli So we or I shall! 'Preciate it.

[dragonflyhiker]

A little cooler out west than here on the east coast. Take care

[shugemery]

@dragonflyhiker Can't wait for snow though ya' know...

[Lakesideforge]

Watching you reminds me of Northern Tier. BWCA I had my eno hammock on that trip.

[Lakesideforge]

Watching you reminds me of Northern Tier. BWCA

[shugemery]

@Lakesideforge Even with us not fishing!...haaaa. Thanks

[snappydog357]

Always Good-Always Fun, Thanks Shug and StormCrow!!

[shugemery]

@snappydog357 Y'elcome to you from the Ginger Clan.

[hunt458]

Shug, you should have your own tv show. Your vids are more entertaining than all the survivor guys and swamp rats combined. Thanks for the humor!

[shugemery]

@hunt458 Mighty nice of you! The Geezer Channel.

[nholly86]

That looks fun Shug, but I don't ever think I would get to sleep with it being that cold outside. That being said, do you use a bear bag? From watching some of you past videos it looks like wake up, roll to your left, and fire up that stove. Always wondered,

[shugemery]

@nholly86 That cold makes the sleep so good.

I do use an Ursack and always hang my food. I get up and go get it and right back in the hammock.

[shippen2010]

Is sector 13 from cherry 2000?

[shugemery]

@shippen2010 Not sure...reckon the SHT named it that. I swore I saw an alien.

[nohill4climber]

Thankee Shug! Looks like a nice time. Good to see Stormcrow out there with you!

Ken

[shugemery]

@nohill4climber Hey Ken...we sure had fun and did some Gorge speak.

[n2tech07]

I thought I was seeing things, The statues head moves left to right real slow. LOL

[shugemery]

@n2tech07 I know..they tore it down and moved it and totally improved it. Added paddle and canoe and turning head.

[TribTrekker]

I wonder why I never see any of the crew in a Clark?

[shugemery]

@TribTrekker Terrific hammocks...we backpackers are always looking for the lightest weight though. Clarks have a ton of cool features but they are a bit heavier on weight and price. Those that have them love them but I rarely see them.

[TomsBackwoods]

Looked great guys!! thanks for taking us along!

[shugemery]

@TomsBackwoods Good to have you.

[MrPoppabear255]

Looks like a fun time was had.

[shugemery]

@MrPoppabear255 Wish we were still having it....

[n9hxv1986]

Thumbs Up :-)
