Honey I Forgot the Tent - When Backpacking Goes Wrong
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Hiking, Backpacking and an attempt at Tent Camping in the Rain in Virginia’s George Washington National Forest.
For this overnight backpacking trip, Sara and I decided to do some summer backpacking with our dog on a section of Great North Mountain, a 50 mile long mountain ridge that runs along the border of West Virginia and Virginia.
Despite the threat of a quickly approaching storm, we decided to forge ahead with a modest 3 day, 7 mile backpacking trip. Our plan was to keep the itinerary relatively simple in hopes that we could get to camp in time to beat the rain. And then we ran into a slight complication. Actually, it wasn’t slight at all. It was quite possibly the biggest backpacking mistake I’ve ever made…

Lessons learned: 1 Colour coded stuff sacks for tent - check, 2. square hotdogs - check, 3. carry lever arm can-opener - check, 4. My first aid kit is top-notch already (I am an ex-paramedic) and carry Stingose, paracetamol, ibuprofen, and bug-spray already. Educational, sometimes, funny, and an example of how it can go wrong for even the most experienced amongst us.
I much prefer total disclosure of mistakes made over some phony edited, polished fluff. Vicariously, I learned quite a bit in this video. And as experiences go, it was certainly chock full of valuable lessons for the partaking. I'm betting from this point on, you'll always have some way to open a can, the mystery stuff sack mix-up will never be repeated, and I'd bet all your future hotdog grills are nice and level. The best part had to be the 'adding insult to injury', hotdog fiasco. By the end, I was cracking up. 🤣👍👍
100% I love seeing how the mess ups were improvised and made to work...it's a rare thing to see in hiking-tube...it seems that many of the big players are too perfect and are always prepared. Seeing this sort of human oof and seeing how it was remedied was super informative and refreshing
Agreed. Every married man has seen that look... You guys are amazing thank you for sharing
She deserves her own channel. Total star.
Probably the most entertaining Sintax video to date. The "Hot Dog Avalanche" should win a RUclips award for being the "most relatable/ funny because we've all been there" scene of 2021.
Can’t believe; you actually published this. Just goes to show, it can happen to anyone. Shows your integrity. Improvisation can make a trip more memorable. I really enjoyed this. Lessons learned.
Boy oh Boy the boys at deer camp are so going to bust your balls over this. I can't wait for Whiterook 85 deer camp video
Actually glad he did, as it shows great integrity, and that the end isn't near! Most issues can be pushed asside and then everyone can say glad that was not me!
What...... no multitool.....??
@@firepwr21 too heavy.

I really needed a laugh tonight and the “hotdog avalanche” delivered. Lol!! Good for you two rolling with the punches and improvising.
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I laughed until I cried, which woke up one of my kids (who came to check on me to make sure I was okay). It was the bleeps that got me.
I was gonna call it the hotdog fiasco lol...that was funny as heck! 😂😂😂
It cracked me up that it was at this point the bleeps actually happened. Not the other fiascos!

Will end up being one of the most memorable trips with your wife ever down the road bro. Nothing is better than a good whoopsie
You're right bro it's always the oopsies that make for great stories after the fact
Ok I haven’t watched the whole video through yet but after watching one thing after another go wrong- watching those hotdogs roll off the grate had me dying laughing. Hoo boy-I can so relate to this trip.😂
Damnit, that hasn't happened yet!🤦
They had to have the grill marks on the hot dogs a certain way. 😂🤣
Been reading how funny the avalanche was, I’m thinking I am not seeing anything funny…then they went… ROTFLMAO
You only make that mistake once.
Sara is a trip. She has a great sense of humor
Gotta love you guys, 😆😅🤣😂
That face which didn’t move, told a lot. 🤪😳🤔☹️🤨
Totally love the fact that you can show WE (all of us) are not perfect. It has happened or will happen to everyone that is a backpacker and is honest! Which I admire you both for your honesty & making it work!!!!!
Loved the video. Quit being so hard on yourself! Memories make life better!
Watching those dogs fall off the grate gave me one of the best laughs I've had in a long time. Kudos to your wife for putting up with this tom foolery and to you for posting it.
After a certain point she was a liability. Not much help.
How to open a can without a can opener (without the arterial bleeding): Rub the sealed end flat on the pavement until you wear away enough of the metal to break the seal and bend the top back. Yes, I've tried it. Yes, it works. Well. It looks like there are plenty of flat-ish boulders there to do this with.
The tumbling hotdogs were hilarious. Thanks for the laughs keep on keeping on.
Denali face is like “nope, not camping with these guys again” 😂
When things go wrong are often the most memorable. I was literally thinking minutes before you posted this that I haven’t seen a video from you in awhile 😊 Great overloooks
Charcoal-ash Dogs....my favorite!! Way to roll with the punches and keep your sense of humor. You definitely made some memories on this trip. Thanks for taking us along.
This was HYSTERICAL!!! You got one helluva woman there! Your facial expressions and groans were priceless!!!
The first and last time I took my wife camping (car camping, no less!!!), we ended up at a motel at 1 in the morning. Fortunately, she fully supports my love for hiking.
It's good (or sad, depending on perspective) to see even an experienced hiker such as yourself still makes rookie mistakes!
Thanks for another great video, Sintax!
Great comedy. Best laugh we’ve had in ages kudos to you for having making the best of mishaps
You are amazing man! I love your sense of adventure and how relentless you are to concede!! Well done!!
We really enjoy seeing your trips with Sarah. Those looks, smirks, and nonverbal subtleties are amazing. Of course the disasters that happened made this video extra relatable, but nothing gets me more than the human dynamics on a trip.
Well that was a special trip 😜, may I recommend you bring the Mrs along a lot more, she is a natural with the humor and support!
He brings her a lot, but she doesn't like winter camping, so you won't find her on those.
Mmmm who doesn’t love metal with their beans! Glad Sara has a sense of humor. 😂
Dude that’s not humor that’s passive aggressiveness. I feel For the guy. He is the good sport in all of this.
Haha I thought it was just sarcastic humor. But even if it was passive aggressive, I thought it was funny. 😂😂
@@earnhar768 Sarcastic humor is an oxymoron.
Always fantastic editing!! Glad to "see" your eye healing. Too many tents is a nice problem to have, and nice work by you and your wife of adjusting. Thanks for sharing a video that most of us have experienced.
I love your dog. The look on his face when you guys cooked the hotdogs was priceless.
I've said it before and I'll say it again nothing better then watching a new Sintax video while in my TENT on the American Discovery Trail.
Wow. Never heard of that trail. Stay safe, have a great adventure.Cheers!
@@dustyc324 appreciate it . It's a 5,000 mile trail across America. Delaware touching the Atlantic ocean to San Francisco touching the Pacific ocean. I'm 1800 miles in just got to Iowa .
@@dustyc324 I have videos on my page showing the trial..nothing as good as Sintax but it's a start.
@@adventureswiththecrazyvet I'll check in on your trip. The other thru hikers are stating to finish up. You're not even half way. Take enough time to stay well. Rest is essential to such a great endeavor.
That's awesome, man. Enjoy the trail and good luck! I'm going to have to do sonlme research on that, it sounds pretty interesting.
Pure gold! This was a great outing. And your wife is a good sport. 🤓
Watched this last night, and I'm STILL laughing over the hot dogs! Well played, and kudos for you for showing the good times and the not so good!
I almost died laughing when the hot dog avalanche happened :D the beeps are just golden! :D Thanks for the video! Loved it as always! Cheers from Czech Republic.
Haha, thanks - glad your enjoyed it. We actually met a few people from the Czech Republic when we were in Iceland last month.
Omg! That was great! This is the first video that i've watched from your channel...and I subscribed immediately!!!!!
Anyone who spends time in the woods knows, that this is the kind of thing that happens out there. And you just have to adapt and overcome. Loved the video because it was REAL!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Doug. Welcome aboard!
Ha! Reminds me of the time we reached camp almost 30 years ago and it became clear I had forgotten the tent body for mom, young son, pupper, and myself. People back then thought we were crazy to overnight under a blue poly 9x12 tarp. But we slept "fine" and cozy, even in a light overnight rain. This is how we make memories!
Oh my! 🤣 I’m rolling. Took an almost 2 year break from media, fired up the old RUclips to check a gear review, and find this. I’m weak! 😆😆😆 I’ve been following for years, but this ranks as one of the best. I love that you guys shared this. Your channel helped me lighten my load years ago and I’ve always loved the transparency, but this takes the cake. Best of luck and looking forward to catching up on all I missed!
Fantastic. Best yet. I can see my wife and I in the same spot. She is a good sport
Hahaha, love the sausage avalanche! And the constant beeping out of curse words. Just awesome comedy of errors. Thanks for leaving that in the video. Made my day
You know rubbing the top of the can against a smooth rock will erase the lids seal and the beans can pops open easily . A survival tip for those who has no can openers. You guys are so funny !!! Its still a great camp trip roughing it with items at hand. Most people would go home, you both are true to camping and hiking. thank you and be safe.
Love watching the hikes with your wife and dog ! Yes, those hot dogs had to roll off into the leaves , and Sarah wasn’t judging you for leaving the tent. Denali was happy being rewarded with his hot dogs ! All ended perfect . Now you have a story to tell about the time you went camping without a tent in the rain ! That tarp is fantastic . The bugs probably enjoyed your providing shelter and body warmth .
You should be carrying a P-38 or P-51 military style can openers, very lightweight and it takes many years for them to wear out! A little dirt never hurt! Thanks for showing that anything can happen to anyone, even if you think you are prepared!!!
Sintax next time if you take the can and rub it against a flat rock or concrete the friction will quickly wear through the seam and allow you to easily remove the lid and open the can. If you see moisture on the rock or grinding surface you know your through the seam. It works like magic. Try it outside with a tuna can.
Love this so much! A video where the whole trip is one blooper after another! Great job improvising!
30th minute = Best RUclips video of all time!!!! We've all done it, but you have captured it and I LOVE it!! Props... And thank you!!!
Great video. Suggestions: 1. A Victorinox Tinker pocketknife is lightweight, cheap, and has ALL the tools you need (say, can opener). 2. Learn how to make a tent (LOTS of designs capable of holding two people and a dog) using a ten by ten tarp (which it looks like you have). All that's needed is some carved stakes, some line and maybe a pole collected on site. 3. KEEP that young lady! She's a trooper and has a great sense of humor. A lady like that is a jewel. Have fun and keep at it!
After so much negativity in the world it’s so wonderful to watch two people laugh and curse there way threw problems in a positive way!
Loved the hot dog avalanche and tent mishap, need to look into keeping a P38 can opener on your key ring / first aid kit. This trip will make for great memories. “Keep Moving Forward.”
Without a doubt my most memorable and often favorite campouts have been those when things didn't go as planned! Way to push through and have fun with it!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing real life. I have a wife who is not a camping fan. I got her to go on a trip and forgot the food for our main meal. Not a great night for me...Sara is a trooper! Shawn this was the best video ever! Love the beep, beep, beep as the dogs rolled off the grill. I have chipped a tooth by biting down on a dog that has hit the fire and had some small gravel in it. Ohh. I laughed a good 10 minutes over that part.
Been there done that Brother!
You and Frozen from @Outdoor_Adventures did loops in the same vicinity this month. You guys should get together on a West Virginia hike. Dude you reached my level of bungling a hike. I didn't think anyone else could take a can that wasn't pop top. The hot dog cascade was hilarious. Not having beans is worse than sleeping under a tarp.
If you have beans, you'd rather sleep under a tarp rather than a tent. Lololol
The very first time I watched a Frozen video, he threw tons of compliments at sintax77. I think he lives somewhere around Sintax also
@@linh8997 Sintax77 is Wilmington DE and Frozen is Pittsburg PA.
That was a bottle cap remover that was used for removing the cap off 6 oz glass bottles of coke.....that you were trying to use as a can opener. Flathead Screwdriver & bottle cap remover combination on that blade same as my old Boy Scout Knife of 80 years ago. There is another blade for can openers at least there is one on almost every multi-tool I've ever seen.
Hey a lil dirt with food, same as when I was a Boy Scout, helps keep the immune system healthy.
I'll laugh every time I remember watching those hotdogs roll off the grate, repeatedly, for the next several months.
I was laughing the entire time. But somehow he got it open!
Hopefully he adds a basic Swiss Army knife to his gear! I always have a cadet in my bag.
Another trick, if you really have nothing to open it with, is to use a flat rock as a sandpaper and wear off the upper edge. A bit of work and some mess, but it did do the trick for us once.
I'm sure the spiders were only being courteous.
Bringing grill foods without something to light a fire with is worse.
@@earnhar768 Gotta give credit where credit is due......they kept their sense of humor & shared their "adventure" with you & MEeee.
@@ojisanhoward8940 TWO heads to inventory stuff B4 the hike is ONE head. ONE head is NONE, obviously!
I can't remember when i've enjoyed a video this much.Thanks for not being afraid to put this video up.I've watched you guys for yearsand this made me feel better over some of my camping "adventures".I literally lost it over the hotdogs,lol
30:00 - Christ, when the bleeps came after the hot dogs fell… I died laughing.
"It's fine, they're... heat treated"!
Hello 👋 my outdoors friends, greetings from dry parched Northern California. You folks had quite an adventure. You made the best of a challenging situation. Next time you're in the area of an Army Navy surplus surplus store, stop in and purchase a couple p-38's. They are otherwise known as GI can openers. They are about the weight of a nickel. Get one for you and one for Sarah. The best of good health and safety to you, Sarah and Denali. Stay safe out there and don't forget the tent next time. 🤗
Thanks for sharing the Hot dogs flying everywhere footage, that was a great laugh and record number of profanity bleeps on your channel. 🤣
This is the way camping goes when my wife goes! Glad to see that it happens to the best of us! I hope she wasn't really mad, This is how memories are made.
What a treat to see this trail on video. Way to keep it light. I’ve hiked this a bunch-alone, with my boys and a couple of buddies. One January had to cowboy camp in the same place bc of tent issues. George Washington National Forest is really neat.
Now this is how real life happens. Great adventure I was laughing so hard because it reminded me of when things went wrong on some of my trips.
Sara is hilarious.... she must be your sanity in all your Murphy's Law disasters.... even Denali didn't look impressed lmfao .... maybe this is where Dutch got the new product name Dirtbag Den.....
Hello from Oklahoma! A great video showing why U should double check your gear BEFORE U leave the house. I never leave without my trusty leatherman. Wow! Funny stuff!
The hot dog avalanche had me howling! I don't wish you guys any bad luck, but I needed the laughs.
oh boy-17:50 shelter survey situation....... The uncomfortable silence from Sara was deafening ! You guys rock!
You guys are in my "neck o the woods" quite a bit. This area of GWNF is by far my favorite. Cedar creek, old mail path, bucktail cutoff and long mountain are some of my all time favorites. I know you've done bucktail but next time you're out this way, take the cutoff. Just a gorgeous, gorgeous trail. We always look forward to your videos. Especially when you have Sarah and Denali with you. Hope Sarah will still go with you in the future haha !!
I'll definitely check that out in the future. Thanks for the heads up!
I wasn't concerned after he had the smaller tent ....he knows what he's doing! Rock and a knife for the beans.
You guys are the best...as always AWESOME Video. I've been watching your videos for years, and have learned so much about backpacking in general, and for that I wish to truly thank you. After watching this video, and LMAO... when you said " My wife is not talking to me, but she is holding the camera", I couldn't stop laughing... Believe me, been there. We all have forgotten something one time or another. So for now on, I will OCD the hell out of when I pack my gear, and pick up a GI P51. Thanks again, Stay Strong, Stay Blessed...
Thanks, Ozzie!
It's all part of camping....It hasn't been so long ago that I was taking a new tent camping and dissimilar to my old tent the new tent had the poles in a separate bag, which I left hanging in my garage. I used the ground sheet for a tarp and since I was base camping, I also had hammock. Fortunate...These trips make the best memories...
You need a P38 (can opener)for your key ring...you can get them for literally 49 cents...
**This also only happens when you have someone to witness the entire disaster first hand, so they can remind you of the trip....FOREVER ! LOL
This was the best video I think I've watched in a long 😂 time. You two are adorable and are truly in love🥰. Most couples I know would be arguing by the time they got to the camping spot, let alone, the forgetting of the tent EEK!
They would have probably lost it, lol but, not you two.
Y'all handled all the mishaps with ease and love.
Getting mad and arguing isn't going to solve anything. I wish other couples would take a cue from you 🙄 lol 🤣
Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure I loved every bit of it.
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS Y'ALL
🤗HUGS🤗
In the beginning your puppy was hilarious lol "hurry UP! LET'S GO"
That ditchwear tarp has to be the mvp of your kit. It’s come in handy a few times now.
Great recovery setup man.
I was excited to wake up too early, turn on the old Roku TV, go to You tube, and find a new Sintax77 video. As someone else has said, you won't ever make the same mistakes again. We've all been there, forgetting something we wanted or needed for a trip, and that is usually the thing we never forget again. We may forget something else, but not the same thing we had forgotten before. You and your wife and dog still had a good time out in the woods together, and that is one of the main benefits of your expeditions. Thanks for the honest, video, to which we can all relate. You made the best of it and still had a good time. I enjoyed seeing the little additions to your first aid kit; those are things that can really come in handy if they are ever needed, and thanks for the shout out. I'm sure you will enjoy those breakfast tacos on another trip in a relaxed setting when there is more time for breakfast. Keep hiking, and providing us with adventures to enjoy vicariously!
Way to fall on your sword Sintax77!! Only you if you had a can opener in that 45 pounds of gear! Thanks for sharing :)
Omg lol - you guys need to lay off the herbs - this was a comedy camping adventure! I’m cracking up - no tent, watching you trying to get at those beans - hot dog avalanche - the raging waterfall - stay away from the cliff ledge. 🤪🤪🤪 great vid.
We've all made mistakes like that. You are a great camper, and you inspire me to get out there more myself. Keep up the great work.
The hot dogs and the beeps were priceless!
Sarah's adorable. Stuff happens but definitely keep a kitchen kit with a P 38 in it for EVERY trip.
Good morning Sarah, Sean & Denali ! She is such a trooper, you're a fortunate man ! That gives a new meaning to a Hot-Dog Race.. I was waiting to see if that new style of can had magic jumping beans.. Just place the buns and the end of your rack & see which one lands first... It's a new camping game, Chili-Dog Frenzy ! Thanks for the great video, keep smiling !
Hi Shawn 👋 good to see you my friend👍Thank you, take care. stay safe 👊 oops...🤷♂️😊 Hi Sarah, Denali 🐾👋 from NH
Dennis B.
Who expects to upgrade a med kit after watching hot dogs run an agility course! Great content. Thanks for it and I'll buy the pants and support the channel.
You can grind the top off by rubbing the top on the surface of a rock until you wear the edge down and pop it off.
Hard to believe he doesn’t carry a multi tool. Practically all of them Have a can opener.
I laughed so hard with the hotdogs. That was so funny.
The look of the dog’s disappointment is hilarious 30:41
OMG I was literally cracking up all by myself with the hot dogs rolling off baaaaah ha ha ha ha that was awesome . Very entertaining video guys !!! Love watching your videos
Lots of bleeps during that avalanche 🤣🤣
Yep, saw it right off, shoulda had the dogs in line WITH the grate, not across.🤣
I’m not gonna mention the tent, or lack of, I’m sure the wife covered all that.🤣
Great video👍👏
Nice to see your tent improvisation. We had a situation like that happen also. Needless to say, there is no more putting tent components into separate bags at our house. Glad you had the tarp!
One time I forgot my sleeping bag on a hammock backpacking trip. I layered up everything piece of clothing I had, warmed up my water bottle near the fire and put it near my feet. put hand warmers in my armpits and groin, and had a pretty comfy night!
My favorite quote from my old boss and mentor: "I've been f-ing up my whole life, and I'm not done yet!"
Awesome
Glad to see Sara enjoying camping. Good weekend trip!
So relatable. I hike with my wife all the time and we’ve had our moments. Your wife handled it like a rock star.
I just died laughing at the rolling hot dog debacle 😂 I’m loving this video so far lol
Sara is gonna give you a matching black eye if you don't get that coffee rolling. the one two punch. You guys are adorbs.
I legit lol'd when the hot dogs all rolled off the grill grate. After everything else on the trip it's all ya can do at that point. A great reminder to check and check again to make sure everything is packed. Where'd you find the tent when you got home?
Orange / red , looks awesome makes perfect sense
Screen-shotting this for my wife...
My habit is the day before any camping trip I set up the tent I plan on using. Good way to figure out if all the pieces are together, if anything is broken and I also gets me familiar with setting it up so I can even do it in the dark if I have to.
Had Many camping Mishaps...Damn really got me Laughing when you tried to corral Those Hot Dogs. .Funny stuff!! Loved It !!
30 minutes in and Morse code begins, I couldn’t stop laughing 🤣
Last camping trip, i brought a cook pot and cup so i could have coffee and food at the same time. Problem, my new alcohol stove wasn't up to snuff and went out as soon as i put my pot on. Luckily I had a canteen cup stove so i used that as a stand. Then i realized that the pot was also my french press and couldnt cook my food immediately. Again, luckily my buddy i was with had a spare pot.
Every trip is a learning experience. It never goes perfect. You are always improving though. I have been camping since I was in diapers. Primitive, modern, military (Army 12 years) and ultra primitive (1700s gear only) camping. Vehicle, backpack and kayak travel. Every trip is different.
IMO the best experiences are the ones that create "remember that time..." memories.
I love this! I love seeing detrimental screw-ups get improvised, and I LOVE the love you two have for each other! The deprecation of self and relationship, lol!
You two are an epitome of a couple-goal. We should always look for our equivalent Sarah or Sintax.
I am cracking up!!! Watching this early in the morning …..I am probably going to be late for work!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious. And informative as always. Would have enjoyed a review on those hiking pants but maybe you have another video on them somewhere. Add a P-38 can opener to your kit and get rid of that ridiculous gadget you almost cut yourself using on the Bean can. Hot dog solution. Turn them in the direction parallel to the grate?? Ha. All in all, great job as always. Thanks for taking the time to video real life situation‘s. I know it’s a lot of work when you add camera footage on top of everything but thanks for allowing us to be a part of your trips!
I just laughed SO freaking hard!!! The hot dog avalanche! After the tent and beans!!! LMFAO
What a great video. You all are truly going to have some great memories to look back on.
ROFLMAO, Dude, you are batting a thousand on this trip! That was too funny! LOL
Happened to us as well a while back. My cousins brought a 2p tent they were going to share, but forgot the poles. Thankfully the tent came with a full set of rather long guylines and I had some paracord on me, so we managed to tie the outer fly to about 4 different trees and it worked out. On my last trip, I realized I'd forgotten to pack the sleeping pad on our way to the trailhead. Ended up paying good money for a new Exped Synmat HL at an outdoor store, which was not the plan at all but since my old one broke (pre-2016 model that had the old type of baffle welds. Got my money back despite the pad being out of warranty, thanks Exped!) I guess it was a purchase that was gonna happen sooner or later anyways.
Despite these problems, we all had a great time anyway. This is the kind of stuff that makes it all memorable.
I just watched the dogs roll off the grill and had to post a comment before I watch the rest. There are days you just never should get out of bed. This is one of them. Thanks for having the balls to post this. You're a good man even if your lovely wife is going to dump you. LOL
