Thanks for all you do Shug. You hit the nail on the head with the restorative aspect of hammocking. I’m retired Army with very bad hips, with one replaced last Summer, and I can tell you that having my hammocks has saved backpacking/camping for me and kept the Great Smokies in my life. My Superior hammock has indeed become therapeutic and I feel 10 years younger in the morning and greatly enjoy my morning hang time. Thanks again.

Shug, everything you say is true but as a former tent guy I ran to the hammock! I hiked the Oregon section of the PCT in 2019 during the wettest late summer experienced in a while. I was up all night worried about the water coming through the floor. My stuff got soaked. Hypothermia was a real concern. I was 67 then and 40 miles from shelter. Since then I've slept in similar deluges...no worries. Hammocks are for comfort and safety.

Being in rain in a hammock under a tarp is powerful.

Here in Scotland I've discovered that that speed thing is often flipped (at least at low elevations where there are trees). There's often almost zero flat ground - anything that looks flat at a distance usually turns out to be riddled with knee-high tuffets. And 99.9% of the flat(ish) ground is too boggy. I take great joy in pitching my hammock on hillsides where I know few people have ever camped :)

Same here in the Portuguese mountains. There’s plenty of flat ground here and there from shepherds’ land and some prairies, but there’s also trees everywhere. I’ve even set up in between two rocks with climbing gear 😂 But yeah I setup camp where I’m sure no one else has ever slept. Scenic spots, hidden places etc. Nothing more peaceful than that. Especially since I can use a wood stove without any fear, because no one will ever see me, nor the smoke (gasifier stove)

It truly is. But it ain't for everyone. But nothing is.

Two biggest cons for me are that I no longer want to camp if I cant sleep in my Hammock, and I don't make enough money to buy more hammocks, tarp and misc. hammock gear I just got back into hiking a couple years ago at 55 years old. Had to buy all new gear. After about three trips I realized I could not sleep on a pad. I was loving the hiking but not sleeping on trail. Got to looking at Hammocks and boy-o-boy, people can sure make the thought of getting into hammocking seem super scary. Fiddle this fiddle that, guylines, tarps, calf ridge, the perfect hang, bla-bla-bla.... Well, turns out I love all that! Jumped right in and never looked back. I can honestly say that I have never had a bad nights sleep on the trail in a hammock, and I'm lazy and never spend a bunch of time tweaking my hang, close is good enough for me.

Finally, something worth watching. The two "cons" of hammock camping for ME... 1) getting in/out until I've got it adjusted "just right", 2) having to pack the underquilt (unless the night time temps are above 70°, you're going to need one). I certainly do have more than one hammock. I did my research and comfortably settled with the Onewind 12ft double wide. I have two of those... one is dedicated to the yard, the other in my rucksack. I'm 5' 8" 200lb and get a perfect diagonal flat lay, and SIDE lay ! God bless the inventor of the RIDGELINE !

I'm with you, Shug. Sleeping on the ground "don't cut it" I'm 63 this month and I sleep in a hammock every night. When I travel and have to sleep in a bed, it's like a brick. I'm like you, I'll trade a little weight for the supreme comfort of sleeping in a hammock. I own several hammocks and I have come to find that a one piece hammock is far better than any three piece hammock. The longitudinal seams and the difference in the fabrics don't add up to the comfort of a one piece............. You're no Leland Sklar, but you're rockin' a nice bass and doin' what you love!

I'm bikepacking with only a hammock as usual again soon, although in WV this time around. Last year along a rail trail I had to camp at the edge of some random person's backyard since it was the only valid spot that wasn't swamped out in the rail ditches, and my friends in tents had to stay 1/4 mile further up the trail for a decent flat grass spot. It worked, I just stayed out of view and left no trace of me being there. It's true about having multiple hammocks, I got one for free, was too small and basic, then learned to make them, and got what I wanted on the third one I made. It was worth the effort, best sleep ever. Whooooo buddy!

Hammock camping is like making coffee. There is a steep learning curve if you want to get to the real thing and it can be costly. If one wants to help newbies Shugs videos are not only fun but also very informative in between the jokes. Then I would always redirect newbies to the Ultimate Hang site. To me the biggest con (and a big pro) is that hammocks are individual shelters. If you travel in a group of 3, you need to find suitable trees to hang 3 hammocks & tarps. But what motivated me most to stick to hammocks was the fact that I had my own space, wasn't disturbed by others & didn't disturb others.

With regards to all of the available options, and plethora of tips and opinions that make it seem like it's really more complicated than it actually is, if you're feeling confused, remember that no matter what you end up buying to start with, you have to grow into it and learn what you like, and probably the first thing you get is not going to be what you ultimately end up with. so the first step is just to start somewhere, because you can't learn what you like until you encounter the things that you don't. Most likely your first school-age sweetheart was the first step in a series of lessons that taught you what to look for and avoid on your search for a significant other. When you started out your journey of culinary delights you had absolutely no idea that when you we're thirty years old you would actually enjoy broccoli. Learning hammocking is no different. Just don't put cheese on your hammock 😉

Everything I wanted close at night was right in front of my face. Not the same with the Ridgerunner pockets. Finding a solution to that con is taking me awhile. I like that you talk about playing with stuff. And the idea of it not being a race is helpful (unless it's raining. LOL That's when I want a tarp that sets itself up!) I live in a condo; the only place I can set up is at a hang and people in my group rib me a bit about me putting up different setups all day. One thing I'm going to try more is using a gear sling at chest height when I set up so I'm not bending down over and over to access my bags of suspension, stakes and tarp lines. My knees can't take the abuse.

Early on I figured out you can keep your top quilt, under quilt, pillow and everything else is one bundle without taking it apart every time. You just need a stuff sack big enough for everything you plan on keeping in the bundle. You can melt a small hole or put in a buttonhole with a sewing machine to pass your continuous loop on the end of your hammock through. When you're packing up just wrap up everything in your underquilt maybe tie the Middle with a bungee or a cord and stuff it all in the stuff sack. When you're ready to set up just hook the continuous loop to the suspension and pull everything out while holding onto the other continuous loop and hook up the other end.

I boat and canoe camp so I can bring a solo pole setup to ensure a killer spot. And you’re right about all the gear you will acquire over the years. Ive narrowed it down to one gathered and one bridge that I use and a few under quilts. It was a long journey to get my perfect rigs. But fun as hell. And really interesting to see how different people have solved so many issues by producing great products and techniques. Watched a whole mess of your videos also and got some great intel. Thanks

@@shugemery my dream trip would be to come up to your neck of the woods and do a canoe adventure. Beautiful country up that way. And good fishin from what I gather.

Very well said. I've always read about "3 minute setup" and there's just no way to do that for a night of comfort in a hammock. I make sure to dial it in on every trip no matter how long it takes. Thanks for another great video 👍

Shug, as usual, thanks for your insights and philosophy on hammock camping. But man oh man I love those B&G L-1000s! That thing is funkaaaaay! I played in a very recent short lived band and the bass guy played one. Great tone and sense to it.

You mentioned juggling. For some reason, every time I hear that word, I immediately think of the sobriety test in the movie A Man with Two Brains.

Seems that an early bird song is always accompanied by an early bird movement. That 350.00 dollar Siltarp just got another graffiti tattoo. Dry and scrape before packing, and having a clean cloth for that purpose is kinda handy. Love birds who eat a lot of purple Berries. Cheers!

Perfect timing for this video topic. I know lots of people who have watched others with Hammocks and now they are getting ready to use their own in the woods this season. And yes, you are a Hammock Pro. Nice Bass by the way.

Always new folks that get into them over Winter. Winter is good for study. Like my bass thing. I was able to really research and put some learning time in.

If you want to go light, try pod style hammocking!👍👍
