Remember when the food and pan is hot it'll continue to cook when taken off the stove. You should definitely use a top for the pan. You'll save so much fuel using one!!
I live close by to that section. I HATE that they closed off parking at the trail. 🤬 That hill kicks your butt no matter what shape you’re in. 😁 There was a dividing Rock before you went up the big rocks (to the left)...the trail heads down some steps . My photo on YT is from me at the first lookout. 🥾🏔 Great video!
Bro, this is crazy haha! I grew up in Phoenix and have lived in Florida for years. I live as close to the Equator as possible. The temperatures you talk about are insane to me! -20? "Oh, it's not cold, it's in the low 30's." What? Bro, I put on winter gear in the low 70's, no joke. I realize it's probably a blood thickness thing seeing as I have lived near the Sun my entire life. Crazy. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah up here in the north it's not considered cold cold until it's below zero really lol. I traveled the south west last summer. Man it sucked cuz it was 115°F and I thought I was going to die it was so damn hot. Lol!!
Yeah besides a coat when it's 30°F out I usually don't need a hat and gloves until about 10°F and then full winter gear below zero F. Lol. But I've also grew up here and been here my whole life 30+ years!
There is actually a NPS AT parking lot just across PA Route 61 (the highway) from where you said you parked the time you came before. Those boulders were put there because that area, Peace Rock, was closed down to the public for unsafe and improper use after several drownings in the river, (swimming prohibited but people came from all over to swim anyway) but the AT does have designated parking nearby. Hopefully you come back again and explore some more of the AT in the area! Happy Trails!
Wow, 2011. Has it really been that long we’ve been watching? Time flies when you’re having fun. Corona saw best value and cuts like a beast in both directions. Silky’s are pull saws.
I remember that trip you and Mike did. I wasn't sure until you pointed out the boulders where you had parked and then walked straight up that hill. Brings back memories.
I remember doing this trail with my father probably 12 or so years ago now. Was wondering if you would hit the overlook, until I heard you mention "the view" and knew you had to have been there.
Hilarious, you bought a Jeep ... I just did too. I'm going to mix it up between backpacking and Overlanding. Another great video Sintax77, thanks for taking the time to make it and for sharing. I'm always looking forward to them!!!
I have used my Bahco Laplander saw for several years. It has been reliable on camping outings and NCT trail maintenance efforts. It is a good value. I bought my dad one for Christmas this past year as he needed a new hand saw for hunting. I purchased a leather belt holster to keep it this saw more available while performing trail maintenance.
Those anklebiter dogs!!!! When I walked through there four years ago heading to the thru-hiker park at the end of town those dogs barked at me everytime I walked past! I walked the two miles south to Wal-Mart to resupply.
Dude. At about 1:00:00, the fire is reflecting against something to your left, and it looks like a pair of eyes watching you eat. lol God that's creepy. Awesome video, as always! Regarding saws, I have a SOG that I've been carrying for about a year, and it works wonders. Fairly certain that it was in the $20ish range. 10/10 would recommend.
I had to stay up tonight to see the alleged critter eyes around the camp fire. I expected it to be a racoon, but the eyes were pretty far apart for a racoon.
I really enjoyed your overnight. My favorite saw is the Bahco Laplander. They are less expensive than the Silkies, and seem to be more durable. God bless you. John
What was that at 46:10 in the top left corner of the screen??? Looks like something pretty big just walked by and then you see the string moving next to the tree!!! Super weird and freaked me out for you man!!
Gomboy is a Silky model ... very good folding saw, although the F180 is a bit smaller (about the size of the coleman). The thing to remember is a Silky cuts on the "pull" stroke. Lots of RUclips videos on the Silky variations.
I am Thru Hiking the AT this April, which will be on my channel... It’s always good to see you hike parts of it... remember the first vid I watched of you years ago you and Mike on the AT in Pennsylvania I think it was...
Bahco Laplander is a pretty sweet saw. I had a Corona and liked it but the teeth stay somewhat exposed when closed. Not really too dangerous but gear could get caught in the teeth if your not careful. Silky makes some of the best saws I hear. Thanks for the video and for living it up for the rest of us.
Looks like a fun trip. Just a suggestion for carrying eggs. I use an empty 8 oz. or 12 oz. plastic water bottle and a funnel. It works awesome. You can mix the eggs or put them in the bottle whole. Never spills and fits perfect in pack.
First time watching. Watched the whole video. Subbed withing 30 min or so. Awesome job man. Keep up the great videos. Can't wait to watch more. Also, love the longer content than all the other type of videos like these!
The next time you are in NH, hit Pub 97 off of I-95 south in Georgetown/Groveland MA. They have 97 different types of cheeseburgers . You’ll Need a snack to hold you over, but it will be well worth it
if you want a good value saw, go for the corona saw. but if you want the best folding, and fixed blade saws, go with a Silky saw. They are without a doubt the best...... really missed your videos. glad your getting out there, braving the cold, and bringing us some much needed entertainment. cant wait for the next one.
for your uses I would go with the Bacho Laplander. Cheap good saw that will work well for most of the stuff you will be doing. Now if you want to step up to a nice saw for winter when collecting more wood, like dead standing, and you want something more substantial I would get the boreal 21. The Boreal would also make a great gift for Mike as a Christmas present too. He would love that saw!
I just got the Vecto CNOC Container for my 2018 AT Thru. I really think I am going to like the open mouth on it. It does weight 2.6 oz. which is more than my Evernew, but I like that is rolls up tighter/smaller than other bladders. Thanks for showing this and hiking this section of the AT.
Nice vid Sean. hey, the gomboy is a model of Silky:) Also , I bought the F180 . It will make your ( my first also ) Coleman seem like a dull butter knife !! I also have the laplander , the F180 smokes it for cutting , but the laplander is more robust. Stay warm and safe in the Whites !!! ........later gubs........ oh yeah , jtlyk the gomboy is a smaller saw than the F 180
At the base of a tree, the ground is warmer than the surrounding air. If you flip your bottle of water over so it is upside down at the base of tree, it will reduce the probability of it freezing. If it does freeze, since the water will freeze from the top down, it is more likely you will be able to remove the lid in the morning.
Great vid man ,enjoying them all and your dog videos .Taking my dog with me to backpack the White Mts. For 2 nights at the end of April ,can't wait to see your next New Hampshire video 🤘
If this type of folding saw is working well for you then the Bahco saw is excellent bang for your buck. For larger tasks there are some nice folding buck saws out there. Bob Dustrude’s Quick Buck Saw, Boreal 21, and Sven saw are a few good choices.
nice video i camped at that very spot on the Appalachian trail last year one of my favorite places to camp there is a gravel parking lot on pa 61 that says at parking u can park there over night
Hey Sintax. Great vid as always. You said you had a 2016 edition of AWOL's guide? Check page 115 on the right. It's been awhile since I have been to PA so perhaps the regs have changed for the PA State Game Lands. The regs were the same IIRC when I was there in 2014 and I think have largely been the same for some time. One night wild camping legit within 200' of the AT (the "corridor") & 500' from water sources, trailheads, road crossings & official parking areas. Interestingly there is that notation that you have to start and end in different places. Oops? ;) Keep up the good work!
Great video. Glad to see you are still doing Keto. I am going to do a seven day hike on the AT in late April with my brother. My biggest concern was keeping Keto on the trail but I invested in a dehydrator. I will be taking homemade buffalo chicken, chili, cheese burger, meat sauce with zoodles and dehydrated veggies. Keto is no problem now.
Get the fire wood furthest from your fire site first. Then work your way in towards the fire through the evening and night. Oh a little sriracha and you'd be golden lol.
Just make sure the saw you buy cuts in both directions. You don't want a pruning saw that cuts in one direction as it will tend to bend. Bahco laplander (spell check) are $20 good saws.
I can provide some insight on the parking situation Shawn. About 2 years ago they closed that lot ( very close to the Cabela’s correct?) they moved it a couple miles up the main road there. I parked in the original lot where you and Mike parked all those years ago, to do a day hike, 3 hours later I came out to my truck missing. Got TOWED. So yea that turned into a $250 day real quick
sintax77 ah not that big a deal looking back at it, life happens ya know! I gotta say, there’s something really cool about seeing someone else’s video on a trail your familiar with. Hard to explain, but this video just has a different vibe for me! I dig it man.
Reason that place you park before was closed, during the summer was a popular place to swim locals call it the rock. People used the rock to dive into the river but it got out of control crowds drinking, littering, got so popular cars were parking all the way back to the highway (Rt61) I recall one time when someone needed emergency medical help and with the large crowds they had a very difficult time getting in, eventually Township had to close off the area
Hey Bro. Love all the videos thanks for putting them out there. In this video is the highway you go under 309? What is the river you are hiking past in the beginning?
I have the Coghlan, Corona and a Gorilla folding saws...go with the Corona. It's a larger tool but it is an excellent saw, strong handle and the blade works the best of my three. Keep a small can of WD40 to keep it lubed which lessens the friction of the sawing action. My best bushcraft saw is a collapsible Sven...awesome tool but I have to carry it in an arrow quiver mounted on the outside of my pack. An 18" axe complements the wood processing tool set.
Lol guess I commented to quickly. Literally right after I posted my first comment and start the video again, you came out to the original lot, and now I see yup that’s the one. You literally walked right where my truck was parked, and towed from. There were no boulders or signs yet, they towed every single car that day. It was insane
What happens when you invert your MSR canister stove right after the burner is lit? On my Kovea, I invert right away after the initial ignition, so I do not use up the propane in the canister.
13:18 You said Maine but wasn't it New Hampshire where you hit your head? I think you were with TJ in that one and you forgot your GoPro so you had to go back and get it.
Yeah, I was thinking of times that I slipped and landed on my rear, haha. NH was a faceplant, Maine was a slip and fall on my butt doing the Grafton Loop in the rain.
Silky makes the gomboy. It's a good saw. Silky saws only cut on the pull but they are fantastic saws. I own 2. The pocket boy and big boy. both will cut through hard and softwood like butter. Gomboy is the middle size of those two. They all perform the same just different sizes. They are super aggressive and come in different tooth sizes.
New camera? Colors seem unreal in this vid.. Btw thanx for infecting me on the hammock virus :) i went out to Belgium at about 20 degrees for the first time in a hammock and i loved it (follow you on my other youtube account)! My mom had a tent but she is gonna go where ever me and my dog go and she is 62, so never to old to go take a HIKE :D
That's awesome - glad to hear you enjoyed your first hammock trip! Yes, I got tired of camcorders in late 2016 and switched to a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. The dynamic range is closer to film. Pretty cool that your mom's getting out there too!
Yep, 62 and has a hip replacement and still wanna go out in to nature :) When i get me a second hammock guess who is going to use my current hammock hehe. Btw, Adventure food may be worth looking in to. Also a dry meal but it has marks on the pack to show how much water is needed.
So you got rid of the V Dub!The Rubicon is one hell of an upgrade,but will you be driving this on all your backpacking trips?Fuel economy will be much worse but you do now have true 4WD-with locking diffs front and rear-and Dana 44’s. Was the Volkswagen just done?
didnt last time you call Pocahontas a dirty girl lol. And if memory serves you guys lost the trail then too just in a different spot. And Mike brought a turkey roast. I have to stick to my previous suggestion on a saw,,Corona 10 inch
Nothing good on Tv tonight, doesn't matter a new Sintax video on, makes for a very good sunday night. I notice you have sealskinz gloves on, how do you like them ? and is there a review coming soon, thanks again, and keep them video coming.
Thanks, Chris. I've had the Sealskinz gloves since our Iceland trip back in October and I've been really liking them. Always dry, decent warmth and very good amount of dexterity .
hey sintax77 when do you think you'll do another vermont camping trip? Very curious what region of Vermont you'd end up trying to camp, i'm 10 minutes from the canadian border in Saint Albans
Good question. I don't know for sure, but I do want to get back up there. I've got one more winter trip to do before the season ends, but I would love to get back to Vermont for some warmer hiking too. But spring is mud season, of course. Hmmm, decisions, decisions... :) Any cool hikes along the Canadian border, or even slightly over it that you would recommend?
sintax77 I’ve heard good things about the northeast kingdom, guess there are some wicked cool quarries w/crystal clear water like ocean blue. I cannot confirm that but my coworkers have been there and talk about how cool of a spot to swim and relax it is..I’ve also been hiking in Jeffersonville, and there are some wicked mountains and waterfalls in that area. My buddy has a deer camp in the central VT area in a tiny town called Fayston, and that also is a cool place to really go off grid and do some hikes along the vast/snowmobile trails there. Any of those areas would be ideal, but personally trying to find an ocean blue quarry in the middle of nowhere seems like quite the intrigue. Hope to see ya make another vid with your spring plans as the warmer weather continues to progress! -Jake
sintax77 no problem buddy! Btw, i also follow I think it’s your dads page..whiterook85? You him and that PA crew need to make more camp videos, god damn do I get all riled up when I see that he uploaded a new video from deer camp. Absolutely love that stuff, and how y’all love cookin up some good grub and having a few drinks! Reminds me a lot of our camp hahah
It actually stays quite secure. No gettting spun around in the wind or anything. There's a bit of resistance from coming in contact with the ridgeline and underquilt that seem to keep it in place pretty well, so once you set the vent where you want it it stays put like that nicely.
Remember when the food and pan is hot it'll continue to cook when taken off the stove. You should definitely use a top for the pan. You'll save so much fuel using one!!
This felt like a vintage throwback Sintax solo adventure. Great stuff!
I live close by to that section. I HATE that they closed off parking at the trail. 🤬
That hill kicks your butt no matter what shape you’re in. 😁
There was a dividing Rock before you went up the big rocks (to the left)...the trail heads down some steps .

We’re livin’ here. In Allentown. And they’re closing all the factories down.
Wow, 2011. Has it really been that long we’ve been watching? Time flies when you’re having fun. Corona saw best value and cuts like a beast in both directions. Silky’s are pull saws.
Yeah, I can believe it either seems like forever!

Great Video Sintax , Thanks for taking us along on that adventure. Oh and you left your eggs on the ground might need to double back.
Hilarious, you bought a Jeep ... I just did too. I'm going to mix it up between backpacking and Overlanding. Another great video Sintax77, thanks for taking the time to make it and for sharing. I'm always looking forward to them!!!
Just came here after watching your zombie preparation hike. Im making my way through all your full length video trips for the millionth time.
I have used my Bahco Laplander saw for several years. It has been reliable on camping outings and NCT trail maintenance efforts. It is a good value. I bought my dad one for Christmas this past year as he needed a new hand saw for hunting. I purchased a leather belt holster to keep it this saw more available while performing trail maintenance.

Already been mentioned, but the gomboy is a silky model. I have the 240, it's a little longer than the regular, weighs about 9oz, cuts like butter
Excuse my language, but it's about damn time we get another camping video....
Exhilarating view from the top !! Thanks for taking us along with you.
My pleasure. Thanks for coming along.
I really enjoyed your overnight. My favorite saw is the Bahco Laplander. They are less expensive than the Silkies, and seem to be more durable. God bless you. John
Thanks, good looking out! :)
What was that at 46:10 in the top left corner of the screen??? Looks like something pretty big just walked by and then you see the string moving next to the tree!!! Super weird and freaked me out for you man!!
I've had the Bahco laplander for at least 5 years and it's still going strong. Still very Sharp too.
Gomboy is a Silky model ... very good folding saw, although the F180 is a bit smaller (about the size of the coleman). The thing to remember is a Silky cuts on the "pull" stroke. Lots of RUclips videos on the Silky variations.
Ahh, I see. Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to do some research and find out what model might fit my needs best.
Love the jeep. We were just out on the AT in PA Friday into Saturday. Down near Michaux SF. Awesome weekend to be out.
I am Thru Hiking the AT this April, which will be on my channel... It’s always good to see you hike parts of it... remember the first vid I watched of you years ago you and Mike on the AT in Pennsylvania I think it was...
Oh wow and now you’re saying the same thing in the video lol
The silky gomboy is a nice little dependable saw.....
Bahco Laplander is a pretty sweet saw. I had a Corona and liked it but the teeth stay somewhat exposed when closed. Not really too dangerous but gear could get caught in the teeth if your not careful. Silky makes some of the best saws I hear. Thanks for the video and for living it up for the rest of us.
Silky saw all the way! Thanks for all the awesome videos! 👍
Looks like a fun trip. Just a suggestion for carrying eggs. I use an empty 8 oz. or 12 oz. plastic water bottle and a funnel. It works awesome. You can mix the eggs or put them in the bottle whole. Never spills and fits perfect in pack.
First time watching. Watched the whole video. Subbed withing 30 min or so. Awesome job man. Keep up the great videos. Can't wait to watch more. Also, love the longer content than all the other type of videos like these!
The next time you are in NH, hit Pub 97 off of I-95 south in Georgetown/Groveland MA. They have 97 different types of cheeseburgers .
You’ll Need a snack to hold you over, but it will be well worth it
finally some real sintax77 videos!
agreed
if you want a good value saw, go for the corona saw. but if you want the best folding, and fixed blade saws, go with a Silky saw. They are without a doubt the best...... really missed your videos. glad your getting out there, braving the cold, and bringing us some much needed entertainment. cant wait for the next one.
Thanks, GH.
Great narrative and tips for the cold , thanks.
for your uses I would go with the Bacho Laplander. Cheap good saw that will work well for most of the stuff you will be doing.
Now if you want to step up to a nice saw for winter when collecting more wood, like dead standing, and you want something more substantial I would get the boreal 21. The Boreal would also make a great gift for Mike as a Christmas present too. He would love that saw!
Awesome - thanks for the heads up, Tim!
Hey Sintax, I have and use the Corona Razor Tooth Saw. It has been the best one I have owned so far. Love it. Thanks for the vid.
Awesome - Thanks, Silver.
I wouldn't use anything named Corona!!! Lol. Jk jk
Love your videos. And yes everything taste good in the woods and it could be just a simple sandwich. Keep them coming love watching your adventures.
Probably OBE but Sven Saw is what I used to use in the boy scouts and they were fantastic.
I just got the Vecto CNOC Container for my 2018 AT Thru. I really think I am going to like the open mouth on it. It does weight 2.6 oz. which is more than my Evernew, but I like that is rolls up tighter/smaller than other bladders. Thanks for showing this and hiking this section of the AT.
Nice vid Sean. hey, the gomboy is a model of Silky:) Also , I bought the F180 . It will make your ( my first also ) Coleman seem like a dull butter knife !!

Thanks, Kevin. I'm definitely going to look into something more substantial for lower mileage cold weather camping trips like this.
Awesome!! Something good to watch on a Sunday night!👍😀
I just thought about something! Do you still have the Mora knife that I sent you about 2 years ago? I'm still using mine on all trips.
nice video i camped at that very spot on the Appalachian trail last year one of my favorite places to camp there is a gravel parking lot on pa 61 that says at parking u can park there over night
Hey Sintax.

Keep up the good work!
Awesome info - thank you!
Another saw to consider would be the SVEN-SAW. It isn't the lightest saw out there but it is definitely durable.
Scott Webb I second this
Great video. Glad to see you are still doing Keto. I am going to do a seven day hike on the AT in late April with my brother. My biggest concern was keeping Keto on the trail but I invested in a dehydrator. I will be taking homemade buffalo chicken, chili, cheese burger, meat sauce with zoodles and dehydrated veggies. Keto is no problem now.
That's awesome! Enjoy the trip!
Get the fire wood furthest from your fire site first. Then work your way in towards the fire through the evening and night. Oh a little sriracha and you'd be golden lol.
Sriracha is always a staple for most foods! (Hot sauce as well)
43:00. Were you seriously using you lighter as a pointer to your lit stove?
Next time you're in Port Clinton you HAVE to go to the Port Clinton hotel for a burger or cheese steak!!!!
Good looking out! I'll keep that in mind in the future.
And their famous fries!
Just make sure the saw you buy cuts in both directions. You don't want a pruning saw that cuts in one direction as it will tend to bend. Bahco laplander (spell check) are $20 good saws.
Ever think of using an overmont pocket chainsaw? They work great and can be purchased on Amazon.
I've actually got one of those as well that I occasionally take on trips. About as light as it get for a saw, that's for sure.
Great hiking video! Your in my backyard basically. I live in Lancaster, Pa. I will have to checkout this section of the AT
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! You should definitely check it out some time.
The silky gomboy is a good choice. You need a different technique in using it, as it cuts on the pull stroke.
I can provide some insight on the parking situation Shawn. About 2 years ago they closed that lot ( very close to the Cabela’s correct?) they moved it a couple miles up the main road there. I parked in the original lot where you and Mike parked all those years ago, to do a day hike, 3 hours later I came out to my truck missing. Got TOWED. So yea that turned into a $250 day real quick
Ouch, that bites! Sorry to hear that.

Hey Sean! Silky all the way👍🏽👍🏽. By the way, “Gomboy” is a line of saws made by Silky.
I've owned a silky saw since around 2009 they are awesome. I hear good things about the boreal 21 saws, if you want to go with a folding bow saw.
Shawn, Another great video. But WHAT did happen to the V-dub?
I love it there ..the tri state area AT is my backyard..great choice for a trip..the barber shop down there has good coffee..
I love my bacho Laplander saw. You should look into it.
Thanks, Riff! I'll check that out.
Hey Bro. Love all the videos thanks for putting them out there. In this video is the highway you go under 309? What is the river you are hiking past in the beginning?
Great video, but i couldn't see you after 29:40 for some reason.
Awesome video as always bud, can’t wait to get back on the trails😬
Bahco Laplander for a saw option, replacement blades are a lot cheaper than Silkys
great trip Sintax77, thanks for this video!
Bachco laplander saw is 20 on amazon and the best saw ive used
Dude I had to subscribe to your channel, you make great videos
Thanks, Dave. Welcome aboard.
Also doing keto here!!! Great diet. More energy, mental clarity, and lack of hunger... Lost 30+ lbs.
highflyer131 Any suggestions on keto camping food?
Grasshopper bacon and eggs, burgers hotdogs. Don't really know of any freeze dried options.
I have the Coghlan, Corona and a Gorilla folding saws...go with the Corona. It's a larger tool but it is an excellent saw, strong handle and the blade works the best of my three. Keep a small can of WD40 to keep it lubed which lessens the friction of the sawing action. My best bushcraft saw is a collapsible Sven...awesome tool but I have to carry it in an arrow quiver mounted on the outside of my pack. An 18" axe complements the wood processing tool set.
Feather sticks, to start your fire, also cuts down on your tinder you use.
Idk a lot of "part-time," campers even know what that is lol. I also mentioned that as well.
Nice work and a very enjoyable video.
Lol guess I commented to quickly. Literally right after I posted my first comment and start the video again, you came out to the original lot, and now I see yup that’s the one.

At 46.25 what is the animal in the upper left hand corner as we are looking at you? This is while you were eating the hotdogs.
13:18 You said Maine but wasn't it New Hampshire where you hit your head? I think you were with TJ in that one and you forgot your GoPro so you had to go back and get it.
Yeah, I was thinking of times that I slipped and landed on my rear, haha. NH was a faceplant, Maine was a slip and fall on my butt doing the Grafton Loop in the rain.
Silky makes the gomboy. It's a good saw. Silky saws only cut on the pull but they are fantastic saws. I own 2. The pocket boy and big boy. both will cut through hard and softwood like butter. Gomboy is the middle size of those two. They all perform the same just different sizes. They are super aggressive and come in different tooth sizes.
I have a silky saw. It cuts through logs like a knife through butter. Best saw I have owned.
New camera? Colors seem unreal in this vid.. Btw thanx for infecting me on the hammock virus :) i went out to Belgium at about 20 degrees for the first time in a hammock and i loved it (follow you on my other youtube account)! My mom had a tent but she is gonna go where ever me and my dog go and she is 62, so never to old to go take a HIKE :D
That's awesome - glad to hear you enjoyed your first hammock trip! Yes, I got tired of camcorders in late 2016 and switched to a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. The dynamic range is closer to film. Pretty cool that your mom's getting out there too!
Yep, 62 and has a hip replacement and still wanna go out in to nature :) When i get me a second hammock guess who is going to use my current hammock hehe. Btw, Adventure food may be worth looking in to. Also a dry meal but it has marks on the pack to show how much water is needed.
Check Lowe's in lawn and garden area they got folding saws I got one from there had it for around two years and it still cuts well
I like the heavy rain pants for the exact same reason. That with a jacket it's like a clean sit zone.
Oh Sean or Shaun? Love your videos man, my favorite food climax was when you were eating the chili on the mt Washington video, that had me crying😂
Lol, yeah, I freaked out during that one. Nothing like a hot meal in the woods after a traumatic day, haha. -Shawn
Silky Pocket Boy. Don’t hit the trail without it. Check out the Survival Russia review.
I use a Sven saw , they make a couple different sizes.
i go to blue rocks and do the pinicle hike, tough for me, lol, great vid . i been there
I failed to mention it on here, but on our original 3 day trip, we actually over there on day 2. Cool area.
I hope you have a Bahco saw now
Love the Wrangler upgrade. Now a lift some tires and hit some trails.
So you got rid of the V Dub!The Rubicon is one hell of an upgrade,but will you be driving this on all your backpacking trips?Fuel economy will be much worse but you do now have true 4WD-with locking diffs front and rear-and Dana 44’s.
Was the Volkswagen just done?
Bahco laplander is the cheep saw you need
didnt last time you call Pocahontas a dirty girl lol. And if memory serves you guys lost the trail then too just in a different spot. And Mike brought a turkey roast. I have to stick to my previous suggestion on a saw,,Corona 10 inch

Nothing good on Tv tonight, doesn't matter a new Sintax video on, makes for a very good sunday night. I notice you have sealskinz gloves on, how do you like them ? and is there a review coming soon, thanks again, and keep them video coming.
Thanks, Chris. I've had the Sealskinz gloves since our Iceland trip back in October and I've been really liking them. Always dry, decent warmth and very good amount of dexterity .
I’d like to recommend a Bahco Laplander folding saw. They’re Swedish made and carbon steel.
Everything explore famous last word. "The trail ended.....not really sure which way it goes....it's gotta go this way."☠️😂
hey sintax77 when do you think you'll do another vermont camping trip? Very curious what region of Vermont you'd end up trying to camp, i'm 10 minutes from the canadian border in Saint Albans
Good question. I don't know for sure, but I do want to get back up there. I've got one more winter trip to do before the season ends, but I would love to get back to Vermont for some warmer hiking too. But spring is mud season, of course. Hmmm, decisions, decisions... :) Any cool hikes along the Canadian border, or even slightly over it that you would recommend?
sintax77 I’ve heard good things about the northeast kingdom, guess there are some wicked cool quarries w/crystal clear water like ocean blue. I cannot confirm that but my coworkers have been there and talk about how cool of a spot to swim and relax it is..I’ve also been hiking in Jeffersonville, and there are some wicked mountains and waterfalls in that area. My buddy has a deer camp in the central VT area in a tiny town called Fayston, and that also is a cool place to really go off grid and do some hikes along the vast/snowmobile trails there. Any of those areas would be ideal, but personally trying to find an ocean blue quarry in the middle of nowhere seems like quite the intrigue. Hope to see ya make another vid with your spring plans as the warmer weather continues to progress! -Jake
Awesome - thanks, Jake!
sintax77 no problem buddy! Btw, i also follow I think it’s your dads page..whiterook85? You him and that PA crew need to make more camp videos, god damn do I get all riled up when I see that he uploaded a new video from deer camp. Absolutely love that stuff, and how y’all love cookin up some good grub and having a few drinks! Reminds me a lot of our camp hahah
Just woke up, sipping morning coffee and see new Syntax77 post. Today is already off to a cracking start, have been looking forward to this one.
What, no link to that awesome winter hat?? Lol. Great video, as always!
Haha, sorry. I have no idea what it is. I stumbled upon it at the surplus store.
That sock makes me claustrophobic just looking at it. Haha. It seems so light... does the wind twist it up and flap it around all night?
It actually stays quite secure. No gettting spun around in the wind or anything. There's a bit of resistance from coming in contact with the ridgeline and underquilt that seem to keep it in place pretty well, so once you set the vent where you want it it stays put like that nicely.
My neck of the woods. I live close by Port Clinton
Such great videos 👍
