A highly scientific unit of measurement used exclusively by Boundary Waters afficionados to estimate the girth of a majestic white pine. One “hugger” is defined as the number of fully outstretched arms required to encircle the trees trunk. Example: “That old white pine by the portage is a solid two-hugger! You’d need Adam, Erik, and Trevern side-by-side just to get around it.”
