ViDEO: Slogging on Manitou in Finland, Minnesota PART 1

Excellent once again Mr Shug

Gonna watch it again right now :)

Very nice Shugman.

You should make friends with a fireman. We are available during the week days also.

BEAS

I see you've switched to the Ursack from bear hanging. Those things last forever -- I'm still using the same one I carried on our hikes together. The ziplock liners don't seem to hold up well though, I've had to replace those every dozen or so nights out.

I still carry my food in them here in Arizona. Not many bears down here, though there are a few in the mountains. Use it mostly to protect the food against rodents. Here's what a varmint did to my smartwool shirt a few weeks ago in the Superstition Mtns:

I think it was going for the salt from my sweat, and maybe for nesting material.

Good to see ya back on the Norwegian Riviera!

Excellent video as usual. I wish I could have made it.:mad: Sure does look different up there in the winter. Good choice on staying at site 12. Site 13 would have been a bit more work getting to with the pulk. If I remember right there's a narrow little bridge you have to cross. Probably have to find another way to it.

My wife and I were planning on making a trip there this summer. The scenery looks amazing. I really enjoyed your video and look forward to part 2. Thanks for sharing Shug!

Well Sir Shug ... another fine video stomp in the piney woods! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to Part Two!
Alls secure in sector Wu!

... and the world according to Shug ... is OK with me! :woot:
