Love the old school clips....glad to see you guys are out there having a good time...im right with ya dude..the woods were packed where ive been going ...thanks for the video...fresh air is where it's at...
Been watching videos from both you guys for a few years now. Have enjoyed them all. Glad to see you guys and your families are doing well during this time. Hike on!!!
Thank you for sharing. Glad you, Mike and your families are all doing well. We all need to get out and chill. You all be safe and the best to your families.
It was great to see you and Mike out on the trail again...quarantine sucks but we are alive! All of the parks and trails are closed in our area and to find a trail it's over five hours to get to a trail however it might entail some stealth camping. My gear is packed in my Jeep and I'm ready to bust out of here. That Dutchware double tarp is pretty cool and the price isn't too bad either. If not overland camping I set up a two separate tarps if there's inclement weather involved...sleep under one, cook and enjoy a small campfire (UCO fire pit) under the other. I miss the "it's cheeseburger time" at the end of the video...hopefully we'll hear it again soon.
Nice to see Mike out with you. Great job picking that location very nice having the cabin backup with the storm rolling in. Thankfully I have one friend who has been has isolated as me so we still backpack while following the guidelines. Always nice getting away with a friend especially during times like this. Good to see Mike could reset.
Thank god you put something out there. I was lost without some decent stuff. My brother and his hiking partner were just there last weekend, on the BFT.
Sean, great video. I actually just watched this from my cabin on the lake in Bucksport, Maine. Same kind of setup. No electricity, propane, and a generator. I always watch Whiterook85 s channel and really enjoy the cabin videos. Ive sent you guys multiple whiskeys for spring and deer season weeks. Last year it was the double oak Woodford. Great to see you guys enjoying the outdoors but able to include the cabin as well. Because I’ve been laid off ( just starting work again Tuesday ) my wife and I have been able to spend more time up at our cabin than any other year! Just wanted to thank you for bringing us along. Hope to see more cabin videos from you in the future. Nice to see how you and Whiterook85 are making some great improvements and clean outs, and updates to the cabin! Senior would be thrilled!
Hey, man. Thanks! That Woodford was some good stuff and much appreciated. HAppy to hear you've been able to get some cabin time and that you'll be back to work soon as well :)
Nice that you were able to have a cabin as a backup plan. I’m sure the getaway was a welcome change of scenery. Even in the rain, the view was beautiful to wake up to on the first night. Thanks and stay safe. ATB
Looks like you two men had a great 2 day get away, exactly what we all need. It just doesn't feel like America right now. Thanks for reminding us of what real.
Hi, Shawn & Mike 👍🏻👍🏻 it’s good to see y’all back out in the wilderness doing some hiking and hammock camping adventure along with a nice overnight at the cabin. I have just been staying at home walking my lab Jase three times a day and relaxing in the hammock in the backyard. I will be looking forward to seeing more hiking and hammock camping adventures. Enjoy and have a Great Friday !!! Danny
Thanks for this video!! Looks like an awesome area! I have done part of the West Rim trail back in May 2019. Beautiful views! Do you have any videos on the west rim trail? Haven't found any yet.
Greetings from Shasta County California. Was on my own trip two weeks ago. Had to bring the kids outdoors. A much needed reset for all involved. Didnt see anybody for almost 24 hrs.
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing your entertaining video. It looks like you gentlemen had a good time. It certainly beats being in quarantine or lockdown. Be safe and stay healthy. 🤗
It's a Work Zone 2000w Inverter generator. Super quiet and runs all night on 1 gallon. Picked it up for $130 at Aldi. It's also sold under the "Polaris" brand name.
Our provincial government finally re-opened the parks. It's been tough finding ways to stay outside. Now the problem in Alberta is not the virus but the deep snow. The trails are taking longer than usual to clear up.
My wife and I were just up in Alberta for the first time in mid Febraury. It was beautiful and a great trip. We had no idea how lucky were were to have gone while we had the chance though.
God bless you syntax for putting out another quality outdoors vid while I am stuck in my house. Supper tonight: sauteed shrimp and sausage with onions, carrots, peppers and picante sauce on a large Mission tortilla. Maybe with cheese. I still have to peel the skrimpz! Stay safe.
Love it! Glad to see Trailkilla back on the channel. Will you post the original loop? I don't have time for all 42 but would love to do an overnight or weekend.
Here's my full Black Forest Trail loop video ruclips.net/video/mBWnBYhhqAw/видео.html There are links in the vid description with my full blog post, gps data etc
Thanks for this. Today is day 51 sheltering in the apartment from the COVID hell that is NYC, I would have been out every week since early march otherwise.
Seriously love your vids man. As a life long camper, the idea of backpacking as always intrigued me but I have never gotten a chance to do it. Now I am obsessed and I have to get equipment and get out to backpack. Alas the equipment is not being nice to my bank account haha......so if you wanna just dump your old gear.....just kidding....but seriously. Honestly though, thank you so much for doing these videos. I have a hammock myself and love the idea of hammock camping. Keep up the work bud. It's got me really excited about the chance to do some backpacking. I have learn so many tricks and tips from watching your trips. Also.....pitbulls are the best!!!!!!!!!! Great dogs, the world needs more pitties
Thanks, Matt. I'm happy to hear that. Here's a vid I did on budget backpacking that might make it easier to get started :) ruclips.net/video/BATobrOEK5Q/видео.html
Does this bring back memories! My wife and I hiked a section of the black forest trail about 20-30 years ago. Just as you, we arrived late, started about the time it began to get dark. As we descended into the cover it got real dark real fast. I pulled out my flashlight ...the bulb blew after 5 minutes! I used a small lantern, which ran off a small GAZ canister, held out at arms length. It was too dark to tell exactly how steep our descent really was! We finally made it to the bottom, crossed a small stream and managed to locate a campsite in the near dark, pitch our tent and fall into it . The next morning we climbed out of the tent and stared in disbelief at the trail we had come down the night before. It went up, up, up! I said ok quick breakfast and we hike right back out! my wife looked at me and said why? As sore as we are now, we will be more so in the morning...we'll never get out of here! It took us till 1pm to hike out. We dropped our packs at the service road and hiked another 1.5 miles to the car and drove back to get our packs. A hot shower and a hotel bed never felt so good!! I never made that mistake(series of mistakes)again!
Sintax77 - great trip...as usual. Wondering if you can point me in the right direction. I'm looking to do some boondocking at the end of the month - 5/18/20 - 5/31/20. In your travels in Wellsboro area, are you away of any BLM or related sites that would be available?
Cant believe I've only just found this channel, I'm enjoying them cheers. I only watch these type of vids and not once has it been recommended?? Anyway I've got 11years worth of videos to binge watch so I'll be off!
@sintax77. What current video and gps gear do you use? Is there an updated review on that stuff that I am missing? PS...I need a cabin in the woods for all the same reasons Mike states in the video.
My husband and I hang from the same set of trees w spreader bars too. Mainly cuz I’m a chicken shit when it come to sleeping in the woods. I love it when I can quickly elbow the husband and say What was that! At 3 am :)
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for ubloding over quaratine its so helpful bc we are all board thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing and setting a great example. By applying some common sense, you CAN enjoy the outdoors while still being "safe" for yourself and others.
What shirt is Mike wearing at the cabin? It looks very comfortable and versatile shirt. BTW, love the video and that you guys were able to get out there! I'm trying to plan my breakout away from cabin fever. Also, I just realized the irony of you guys going to a cabin to help with your cabin fever. 😆
Nice video but a bit short you needed another 2 days at the cabin and dont forget the drinks and popcorn remember the new chain saw blade that vacation from quarantine was just too short but breath be happy and stay safe
I was looking to see if you have a video about that outdoor vitals puffy your wearing. I could not find said video, so what do you think of it? It looks kinda cheap, JS.
It's been my go-to jacket for about a year and a half. I've had good results with it. I used a Montbell down parka for years prior and loved it, but the synthetic fill in the OV jacket only cost me a few ounces and I find much more forgiving for wet conditions and occasional washing.
I guess I don't understand why you would pick to share a tarp and hang that close with a friend with everything going on? Wouldn't it have made more sense to each have your own hammock and tarp setup 10 feet apart right now? I always love your videos, and have been doing a lot of solo backpacking lately and a little with a few friends keeping it small and keeping our distance. Just think separate sleeping setup would have been a better choice.
The pleasures of pandemics, never-ending solitude for seasons at a time.
Love the old school clips....glad to see you guys are out there having a good time...im right with ya dude..the woods were packed where ive been going ...thanks for the video...fresh air is where it's at...
that sucks that you can't go hiking out of distance of people. I hope you can get back out soon
Every state is different...soon enough for all
So glad to see you and trailkilla back at it
Love this! And such great timing as I needed to see humans in their natural habitat again....
Yeah the woods!!!
So cool!! I don't think I've ever seen a video, of you and Mike, at the cabin?!
Been watching videos from both you guys for a few years now. Have enjoyed them all. Glad to see you guys and your families are doing well during this time. Hike on!!!
Thanks, Darth! Will do ;)
Thank you for sharing. Glad you, Mike and your families are all doing well. We all need to get out and chill. You all be safe and the best to your families.
Thanks, Wayne. We had a great time, and it was a good getaway.
It’s always a good time watching you two hanging out in the woods.
Glad you got out. We live in MD and still locked down over here.
My husband and I love your videos and Sara is my spirit animal
Glad you are safe. Its a great life camping. Enjoy!

Good to see Mike could reset.
At least Mike remembered his boots!
I can’t believe you guys were in my area! Sorry you didn’t get very good weather! Hope you guys return when the weather is nicer!
That breakfast bowl looked incredible. Just rice, bacon, and eggs? I'm stealing that idea!
Mike is a King when it comes to breakfast
Mike is pretty good at being a spaz and spilling stuff. Poor Mike. Its not his fault.
Thank god you put something out there. I was lost without some decent stuff. My brother and his hiking partner were just there last weekend, on the BFT.
Yes, we stayed at the same spot as you guys. Thanks for the video and good seeing Mike is still around.
Mike love the art work of your ink well done
Trailkilla is back! Nice to see him with his trusty Toaks and Pampered Chef spatula. Just like old times.
trailkiller is back

I'm local to this area. It has some many outdoor wonders in tioga and potter county.

I think we all need a place to reset! Mike is a perfect friend. He cooks a mean breakfast and he can split wood. And he really does look fit and slim
Just found your channel from listening to the Trail Tales podcast. I know I’m extremely late to the party but I’m glad to find ya! Great stuff!
Trailkilla has come out of ninja hiding and made himself visible on a new Sintax77 video! Y'all made my day.
I’ve been missing Trailkilla. What’s up Mike!?
"If you're watching this in the future." That's one way to make topical content evergreen. Instant historical artifact!
Looks like it was an awesome trip. Glad to see you guys back out on a trip together.

I just subscribed a few days ago but I am truly enjoying all of your video videos! Thankyou so much for sharing them🤗🙌🏻
It's good to see Mike with you for a trip. The view from your campsite was awesome and the steaks! 👍 I can't wait to get back out again!
Thanks, man. Hope you can get back out there soon too!
Trailkiller, killing it.
Greetings from Shasta County California. Was on my own trip two weeks ago. Had to bring the kids outdoors. A much needed reset for all involved. Didnt see anybody for almost 24 hrs.
Two buddies and I are going to our Bushcraft Camp tomorrow. Sooooo pumped!
Nice! Have fun, and stay safe out there :)
Good to see you guys out again. I remember you guys on the lonliest road in the PA. Also trip out west in the Honda Pilot. Good to see you back
Thanks, Jerry. It was fun to get back out there together.
Great video - loved that you ended up at the wonderful cabin!
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing your entertaining video. It looks like you gentlemen had a good time. It certainly beats being in quarantine or lockdown. Be safe and stay healthy. 🤗
Thanks for the virtual escape!
Great to see you again. Stay safe my friend
Nice Video! Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to see more content 😍
Invest in a few cheap chain saw files. Field sharpening isn't that difficult really and it makes the cutting so much easier.
Hi there! Fjällräven Kajka bagpack is not the lightest of bagpacks, but I sure love mine. Yours is a new one, right? Nice landscape to hike in... :)
Yup, I just got mine this winter and love it.
Man we are itching to get out!! Looks like a great time guys
Government: get out and excercise to help your immune system
Also government: all parks and trails are closed
I've been hiking the whole time
The cabin is rockin
Great video guys, glad y'all had time.
what kind of sweet generator was that. love how mobile it is! maybe a quick review? staywelland stay safe
It's a Work Zone 2000w Inverter generator. Super quiet and runs all night on 1 gallon. Picked it up for $130 at Aldi. It's also sold under the "Polaris" brand name.
You guys are awesome
Fun vid - good to get out a little.
Much needed syntax trip video! This was great thank you 👍🏻
Excellent Intro!! Nice job finding those clips. Also, great effect on the deer eyes.
Thanks, Paul. There's a link in the video description to where I found it. They've got tons of interesting old stuff like that on there.
@@sintax77 Thank you Sean! It is nice to see you and Mike and the deer cabin.

Lol more like his wife let him out of the house, make no mistake she still has his balls in her purse.
Thanks for this. Today is day 51 sheltering in the apartment from the COVID hell that is NYC, I would have been out every week since early march otherwise.

Cabin in the woods is brilliant for get-away vacation away from the cities 👌

Sour cream on potatoes ;)

Miiiiikkee!
It took a pandemic to get him back out there, but we finally did it :D
@@sintax77 Only a global one.
What do you guys do for work?
Hopefully another video posted soon cause I just looked at my calendar/watch and right about now "It's Cheeseburger Time!"
Are Sarah and yourself going to demo one of the 2-person Clark's that Dutch has now, in the near future?
I was wondering what type and brand watch do you use on your trips?
You two have hard luck with rain 🌧 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing and setting a great example. By applying some common sense, you CAN enjoy the outdoors while still being "safe" for yourself and others.
Did you guys share the weight of the 2 person tarp?
What cook pot is Trailkilla using? Is it the Toaks 1100 ml or the 1300 ml?
Awesome video!!!!
Buggins Gnat and no see ums repellent works GREAT.ALL NATURAL.
Hey trailkilla remembered his boots this time!
Dam no beer or jim beam!! Lol still good time . I just said I need a 2 night overnighter!
03:24 Which Salomon's are those?
They're Toundra Pro's. More details in the vid description. ;)
Did you rent the cabin ?
Your/family cabin?
Why the weapon? What are you afraid of?
What shirt is Mike wearing at the cabin? It looks very comfortable and versatile shirt.
BTW, love the video and that you guys were able to get out there! I'm trying to plan my breakout away from cabin fever. Also, I just realized the irony of you guys going to a cabin to help with your cabin fever. 😆

I'll be heading up there again with my dad shortly, so stay tuned ;)
Do you own your cabin ?; or is it a Pa State Forest lease cabin? Since it isn't painted white, I'm thinking you must own it.
Yup, privately owned. There's some public game lands nearby though, which is cool.
Nice to see Mike!
I was looking to see if you have a video about that outdoor vitals puffy your wearing. I could not find said video, so what do you think of it? It looks kinda cheap, JS.

Trying to get my brother from another mother to go out with me this Friday after he's done with work so we can get some hammock time in
I'm with your friend at 4min mark I only hike or backpack with high quality meats
Wait, not cheeseburger time?!!!! Nice trip. I'm sure it was great just getting out.
I gotta know, how do you carry butter in the wilderness?
Carries just fine on cooler temp trips like this one :)
You can also use ghee clarified butter. No refrigeration needed.
On a cooler trip it will last for days. Butter lasts amazingly well without refrigeration.
Nice little trip.. ;)
I guess I don't understand why you would pick to share a tarp and hang that close with a friend with everything going on? Wouldn't it have made more sense to each have your own hammock and tarp setup 10 feet apart right now?
