Your SOS button makes me feel a lot better knowing that it makes you feel safer. Wouldn't want anything happen to you. I'd miss ya. Thanks Shug for taking us along for your trip.

That was a very enjoyable watch :)

Thanks. Glad to know I'm not the only 59 year old that still talks in funny voices out there. Always enjoy your work.

Shug it’s been many years since I camped in the woods, over 20. 1997 in fact was the last time on the AT. Kids, traveling for work etc...have kept me away, man I have missed it. Last week I went out with the tent in the woods. I forgot how many noises are in the forest at night! More importantly, I forgot how much I miss it and enjoy the time alone. Another thing, I realize especially watching your videos is setting up camp with a hammock and sleeping in a hammock is the way to go. I’m off this weekend with the hammock for round #2. Keep doing what you do! You’re an inspiration!!

Dear Shug, as a greek person living and backpacking in Minnesota, I appreciate your tribute to my native language. For your great work, thank you (efharisto :D )!

We love you for who you are Shug! Your compassion and empathy are great. I would love for you to have a sit down and share your big foot tales with us. They are out there and good people. Look forward to it bless you brother Shug, your always in our prayers!

With this terrible weather, I've been thinking of all the solo jaunts through the piney (and cedary) woods you've done over the years. Man, you're an inspiration to a lot of folks, Shug. Stay safe out there...

"Found" you on YT not too long ago. You probably didn't know you were lost. Excellent technique you have for capturing the beauty of nature, and you are very informative with a natural sense of humor.

Fantastically filled with flora, fauna, flowage, and frolicking fun! (wipes mouth)... Thanks again, Shug! :D

Busy doing a shugathon watch, just past the 6 hour mark, and still going. This guy is my inspiration to camp, since my camp days with my late Farther I went camping with as a kiddie,,,, Whooo Buddy.

Did the people not realise that hammock camping royalty was amongst them 😉 looked a great trip, envious of the scenery and trails as always...great video.

Hey Shug, looks like a great area to go to recharge your batteries and wash off all your everyday worries.Thanks for taking us along....great video.

You have a great knack at editing that keeps your videos very interesting... well, your personality carries most of the weight.

"Corn-ball" nothin'! When you've been there, you get it... and I really miss it! Thanks for taking us a long Shug, you awesome goof! Pete D.---

I once heard someone say that worry was a waste of imagination. I'm glad you took us on your trip! I thankee that you pressed on to an even more beautiful camping site. The video was outstanding! Reuben mit Schwartzbrot

Here I thought I’d seen every person who’s made SHT video and then I find you! I love your older videos from before I discovered the trail! You should keep making videos! You do a damn good job! 👌🏼 Happy Hiking!

I've seen just about all your hammock tutorial videos, but this is the first time I've watched one of your overnighters. You're a good man, Shug. Thanks to you and Bearded Hanger, I've got a hammock comin' my way. I appreciate what ya do, buddy. God bless ya.

Of course we enjoyed coming along with you buddy! It's sad to hear about those guys in the accident, but as you say, when Mother Nature gets involved..... Thanks for sharing!

The other day my 4yr old boy and I came to this beautiful vista view way out in the woods and sure enough he said "WOOOOH Buddy". Your ramble about not hiking with "worry" really makes sense, I didn't realize until you said it but that is how I feel too.

Hey Shug, love your videos and love your vibe. Keep taking us along, helps me live vicariously when I don't have the time to get out myself. If you're ever around NYC, give me a shout for a nice hike. Keep up the good work!
