Shug,
Congratulations! I am not surprised at all. You have helped me learn a lot, especially how to back up a video on Youtube since I am laughing so hard I miss some of the information you are laying down! I still picture the one where you tilt the A-frame ladder over, roll a couple of times into your shirt, then into the hammock. A true classic! Please never think we get tired of them!
Shug... don't change the videos or try and edit them to just the essentials. If you do anything, do more along the same lines. It's the light-hearted way you present everything that makes me come back time after time.
Heck, I even watch your dog gone BBQ videos just to see what may happen.
No, don't even consider changing anything. Just keep them coming!!!
I never hike alone. The voices in my head are always with me.
10,000 is not unbelievable to me. While I watched the hammocks for noobs, because i am a noob, I found your sense of humor as well as the technical preparation of the videos made them completely amazing to watch.
Your knowledge is what drew me to the video's. The pure entertainer you are keeps me watching all of them over and over again. You sir were born to entertain and for that I thank you.
When the wife asks, I simply say "Shug made me do it".
Congratulations on the 10,000+ Shug!
That proves that there are at least 10,000 folks out there that know good entertainment when they see it! As a bonus, they learn something too.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I want to go drop the temperature on the A/C!

"Life is a Project!"
Your hard work has brought smiles to many!
Congrats on the milestone.
I found your videos while looking for ideas for a new diy alcohol stove and stayed for the hammock info. Thanks for getting me back into hammocks.
This causes me to remember the first time I stumbled onto one of your videos. My wife was watching with me and she turned to me and asked "is that guy for real?", my reply of I don't know was just a reflex. I surfed on that night and thought no more about it. I soon found HF, and what do you suppose I also found? Yep, someone urging a noob to watch the Shug videos to learn more about hammocking, and being a noob myself I did. Much fun, information, and entertainment soon came my way. Thanks, and please keep the fire burning.
I am proud to say that I am one of the 10005 subs. Your videos led me here about a year ago and to justjeffs hiking page which allowed me to get to hanging easily. Made my own hammock, slings, and straps to get airborne, then made a pluq for insulation after finding the pad wasn't gonna cut it. You are easily an inspiration to all, and deserve all the attention you receive. Thanks for being one of the spokesmen of our group.

For the humble and the meek...shall roll around and act a clown so we all feel a little more connected to one another

That's a crazy amount of subscribers! Although I'm not surprised at all... Even though I've never actually met you (although I came close at the frozen butt hang) I know that you're a great guy and this is well deserved...can't wait to watch more of your videos!
