My videos are pretty much anything I am doing at the time I grab my camera and do some lollygagging. Hammocks and Backpacking, Control Line airplanes, BBQ, Circusy stuff, some music, unicycles and other basic show-off outlets.
Hope to keep it fun and attempt to make it interesting.
The Lord of Lollygag.

i got into flying by picking up a part built gazelle for a tenner. I've now got a cougar and they fly beautifully. I cant count the amount of times I've crashed.
I had some crashed a few weeks ago. It is all part of the hobby. Enjoy and feel and the pull.
Shug,You crack me up! ( in a good way) thanks, 😁
Happy to hear that~~!
thanks Shug; you're the go to clearinghouse for everything "hammock"! We bought our Draumrs based on your videos about them, along with my Blackbird. We're motorcycle campers, both way too old to sleep on the ground, so hammocks are the answer!
Some hammocks can feel very stiff and unforgiving like it is about to tear any moment, especially the ultralight ones! The best hang I ever had was the parachute fabric from Ticket to the Moon..
Nice soft material those paras......
@@shugemery Yess sir! I am looking for the Circadian Pro from Hammock gear, do you know by any chance if there 40d and 70d denier is soft and comfy like parachute?!
I can't say for sure how you may like it. I found it comfy.
Another great episode Shug….. I think I got this correct -but was that a little nod to Billy Bob and his movie Slingblade about half way through.?? I’m definitely no movie aficionado but I think that was the best acting I’ve ever enjoyed (after your skits of course)
Yessir. I done went down the rabbit hole with Karl Childers a whilst back uh huh......kzread.info/head/PLahaAdtfX9ZJwaG1GHZx3Dv3cJJSgLgWq
@@shugemery Haha…great stuff! I only came across your videos spring 2023 when I searched for hammock stuff. I now realize you have been doing KZread almost 20 years and are a man of MANY talents. Thanks for the entertainment Shug
"Culver's thats where my people hang". I wonder if we could do hammock hang inside of Culver's? Love the Walleye
They have good cheese curds too.
Those Helle knives are superb! We use them in the woods all the time.
Got my wife one for her upcoming birthday. She wanted the one I got gifted in Denmark....
Hey Mr. Shug, you've always talked about ppl being weird if they've never set up a tarp in thier life. I literaly just set up my First Tarp last weeken AND slept my fist Night in a Hammock. So my Question is; is my Weirdness cured now or is there another Ritual that i have to undertake? Much Love from Germany
I don't recall saying weird....just that it may be very new them. Those of us who sleep under tarps instead of buckled up in a tent will always be a bit weird, different, misunderstood~ The Rituals will show themselves to you.
16:58 Spam fried till its got that nice little crisp on the outside and soft on the inside with a bowl of macaroni and cheese is damn good comfort food.
The crisp for the WIN~~!!!
Glass insulator for the telegraph lines. May have been an old railway or mine tracks around there many decades ago.

Hey Shug, excellent video, you are spot-on about cleaning sap off your straps, thanks for putting it together and sharing. I’ll bet you could make a video about watching paint dry and it would be both entertaining and educational!! Keep up the great work 😎
Whooooo Buddy)))))
Wonderful scenery and video. Those bugs were carrion beetles. They smell like death.
Carry On stinky beetles. Thankee....
Awesome video work: loon (love the howling loon) sunsets & flowers. Got some nice high water this year. Good times out there
Yessir. Watery for sure. I was a good hike and sleep.
The biggest hammock con for me is either finding the right trees, or changing clothes with an open tarp. I've just gotten used to being in my underwear in the open.
Modesty is a real thing. If camping with folks I don't know well I just announce I'm changing if I'm close by them. From then on it is on them if they take a gander or not.
Shug, nice to see you and Kory out hammock camping together. As you mentioned, it's not every day you get the opportunity to hang and hobnob with the creator of your hammock! I too have a Majestic hammock, which I throughly enjoy! It is my every day go to hammock. From chilling on my deck to tossing in a daypack and hiking into the woods or state park to hang and read. Thanks for the video as always :) Side bar: Kory, love the UGQ t-shirt, way to support Chad!
Happy to hear that you enjoy your Majestic hammock. And yes it was fun to be with the builder of it.
@user-nt5lz5lm9d Thanks, Vicki! Good to hear from you, and yeah, it's great to be able to sport some authentic UGQ merch! Thrilled to hear you're still loving the Majestic, and I appreciate you sharing those kind words! Take care! And thanks for watching Shug's video of our trip together! We had a good time, for sure!
I was just checking out the Finland area over the 4 th of July weekend, it looks like all the floodwater has receded. Th kings look close to being back to normal again
I hear all good up there...but all the water came down south and reeked a bit more havoc. It was crazy.
Life is good eh? Showing us old boys what we should really be doing. Thanks again.
As good as I can make it~~ Whooooo Buddy))))
Recumbent bikes helped me appreciate the scenery as it goes by much like filming has done for you.
That is interesting. Is it the view from sitting down lower?
@@shugemery it’s more that I’m not hunched over the handlebars with my face pointed at the road in front of me.
No hunching for the win!!!!
I have adult sleep related rhythmic movement disorder, and this plus a flat bed hammock would be life changing.
I like to use my rocker for the spontaneous afternoon nap in my hammock. The rocking calms me.

One of them $30-35 steam cleaners from Walmart may workout well for sap to. Haven’t tried myself. But I do use it for some other stuff. Maybe spray it some with the steam get it soft. Wipe it with a rag. Hit it again with the steam wipe a repeat. An anything left deep in he’ll rub some corn starch on it. But I’m sure some good steam can melt that old sap from better the fibers Like he said rubbing alcohol. Goof-off Another an I’m not sure if goof off contains any. But N-Heptane also. I’m sure not many just has that on hand. But in my search of sticker glue removers led me to that. Can be head online. But found the heptane will loosen/remove some glues that alcohol wouldn’t do much for. Also evaporates and don’t really leave anything behind like the goof-off would. But ild be willing to bet. One of them cheap hand held steamer spray cleaning things from Walmart would melt sap right off. If I had something with some sap on it ild have to report back. Least would be a chemical free way for those it mattered for
Thankee for that.....
Finally someone addresses this...incredible useful...Question in the beginning you use your tree saver to loosen some tension...what is that buckle and second I think this also applies to the cinch buckle system I use..if too tight very hard to loosen. just won't release...thanks...Jim
Are you referring to this piece of hardware?.....dutchwaregear.com/product/dutch-biners/ Hammock 101......kzread.info/dash/bejne/X3eqzJKCg83gnJs.html
@@shugemery Not sure...you reach above the tightens whoopie sling and pressed something that released the tension on the whoopie at the beginning of our demo!
@@jimfromoregonusa9899 Oh...I was releasing the bury on the whoopie sling. Not a piece of hardware lost loosening the constrictor on the whoopie sling. kzread.info/dash/bejne/f4R4sqd-k67SdLQ.html
Thought you loosened something on the tree save strap first (min# 3:14....thanks....Jim
@@jimfromoregonusa9899 Oh yeah. I forgot I used a rachet to really really tighten the whoopie slings for effect.. That is NOT a hammock rachet. It is from a zip camera I own. Used it just for demo purposes on this video.
I bought a $10 generic hammock off Wish. When measured for a ridge line it was 8ft end to end. I just recently upgraded to a warbonnet 11ft hammock. I've only been out once so far with the warbonnet. I don't find it any more or less comfortable than my 8ft one. However I feel the calf ridge less in the warbonnet. I know I have a little bit of a learning curve with the warbonnet. While I do own 2-3 other hammocks, these are the 2 I use the most because they're the only ones with a built in bugnut. 😂😂😂 I mean bugnet...
Warbonnet is a great hammock. Not sure if you did..but if not, read up on his set-up instructions. Especially foot end height. It'll get you to the good place. www.warbonnetoutdoors.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/hammock-setup.pdf
@@shugemery Thanks.I was going to do just that after watching your video. I kinda new about the setup videos and information on their website. Thanks for the reminder.

I was just at Sonju in May. Fantastic spot. Good bird watching. Left a sketch of one on the trail log at Lilly Island. Too bad the bridge to the north was destroyed in these recent storms.
Those storms are mighty rough on some of those bridges as Nature roils!
Those glasses are beer goggles to the second power. Love your vids. They make me chuckle or laugh. Ty ty
I had forgotten all about that cowboy and weird muleskinner bit. Thankee!
Missed this when you first uploaded it. Loved hearing all the birds, reminded me of when I was in Michigan in early May doing some hiking and camping. Thanks for being you and thanks for bringing us along.
I like having a late-comer to the video....glad you eyeballed it. It was quite bird out there. Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Eye it’s cotton
Sure look it.
Thank you for explaining in layman’s terms!!
You got it!....
Will be up north in a few weeks - definitely stopping by Gordy's one of the days and trying that shake out! Enjoyed everything else I've had there
You surely should.......
Hey Shug, thanks for another great video. I’m actually in northern Minnesota right now (SHT), so beautiful! Can you help me with the name of the restaurant that you frequent for amazing homemade pie? Looking for a treat in a couple days. Thanks!
I frequent Gordy's High Hat in Cloquet but one pie place I used to go to closed its doors. Many folks like Betty's Pies on Hwy 61.
Sap happy! Mineral spirits will take sap off. That being said, I don't think I would use any chemical on my strap or a wire brush, a nylon brush sure, not wire. I just boil mine, let them dry then powder them with baby powder, to prevent tree rash...
Rub in the soil and move on I say! Thanks for pitching in...(get it)
Excellent walk-through of the Draumr. Im considering splashing out for one of these. Your video answered most of my questions. Thank you.

So far I'm liking the cinch buckles. They seem to fit the kiss method for me the most. Thank you for showing all these different ways to hang the hammock.
They are generally reliable and easy to use. Whooooo Buddy))))

My best sleep always comes from my 12ft chameleon. My first hammock was a onewind 11’. I slept in it enough to get into hammocks. I have a 11’ Darien I’ve never spent a night in. I’m going to give it a try soon. Every time I’ve lounged in it, I’m surprised how comfortable it is. It’s something to do with the bug net sewn on one side. Just works better than my sparrow somehow.. Best lounging hammock is my 12’ DutchWare nettles like the one in your video.. Im a few years into hammocks 62 years old and a hammock and kayak junkie.. I appreciate your videos and you’ve helped me through a lot of learning curves..
Good to hear you hammock grooves. Thanks..
Walmart...Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! Breakfast Toaster Pastries, Peanut Butter, Value Pack, 21.1 Oz, 12 Ct
I see nothing on Walmart site but all the lesser pop tarts. The Gone Nutty pop tarts have been discontinued for quite a while. Always says "out of stock." I have moved on. Thanks all the same.
In the days of short videos around a minute or 90 seconds long with a bunch of fast cuts, your slower videos are like a nice warm comforting hug. I feel like I’m out on the trail with you the Lord of Lollygag just enjoying the sights and sounds of Minnesota.
Thanks for the good words. I'm old school and those 60 second videos leave me empty.
Hey Sean been doing another rabbit hole of your bbq videos. MN you put on a great show. Love the story about your dad and the lake house.

I'm confused. I took the time to correctly identify the plants you had asked about in the video, providing a link with more information to educate you and the viewers. But now I'm seeing that those comments were deleted. I'm stumped. What happened there?
Then I am confused as well. I try to answer all comments and appreciate you taking time to answer what asked about the plants. I have no idea how they got deleted. Often I'll answer a comment and then it just disappears.
I am struggling trying to figure this hammock out. After I climb into it, it hits the ground. I have to raise it 4feet plus, not 45 degrees. No real support for the feet, mine bend down, they don’t lay flat. ??? Kinda bummed. I wanted this to work.
I think the issue I’m having is tree spacing. It’s over 20 feet and had to extra tree straps from another hammock.
That sounds like a big part of your problem of why you are hitting the ground. The Amok is designed for tree spacing of 8 feet to 16 feet. As to your feet...once in the hammock let the adjuster straps for your legs all the way out...Check their manual....cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0552/1306/4381/files/User_Manual_-_Amok_Draumr_english.pdf?v=1652361479 There are lots of videos on their website that may help as well....kzread.info/dron/KadRLMDV5DW-mLQYwZhvBw.html I hope you find something that works. Also contact Amok if all [email protected]
@@shugemery thank you 🙏 👍👊🏼
Cool, I am doing swell with my pad right inside my sleeping bag.that allows me to adjust my angle easily. My silk liner I slip into then into my bag sort helps that whole senecio and separates me from the pad that’s in the bag. The liner has a pillow box too, so it’s real easy to fashion a pillow with a sweater or pop a camp pillow in there and everything stays in place.
Great to hear what is working for you. Whoooooo Buddy)))))
