One of my favorites. You all looked like you were having fun and were so much more relaxed than usual despite the cold. Loved the second childhood moments with the sled. I know Mike needed it. He really seemed more relaxed than usual. Good times, guys. Maybe should do it more often.
Thanks guys for the great video. Watching Mike sledding was so funny I kept watching it over and over. Great beer selection also. And who doesn't love a good steak. Mike congrats on your expanded family. You are a great dad that I'm sure your kids look up to. So good to see you guys together out on the trail. Great friends are a gift from god. Take care both of you and hope to see you soon. Peace.
I LOLed hard, cause at first I was watching from a distance. not reading the text. I thought Mike was blowing a bundle aflame, but was thinking "too Close!!" watched it again. bemused. good duo.
Hey Sintax, I have been watching your videos for about half a year, and they have totally inspired me and my husband! We both decided we were going to give backpacking a try. We started with day hikes, and we have been slowly increasing our mileage. We started carrying heavier and heavier packs, and we are officially going on our first real backpacking trip this weekend! Thanks for putting in all the hard work!
I always appreciate Mike's attitude on these trips, up for anything, ready to deal with anything. Great video once again, please keep filming these trips!
Great Video.... nothing better than camping out in the snow when you have the proper equipment.... good tent, clothes, beer, real food, Alcohol, snacks, beer, insulated sleep pad and proper rated sleeping bad, beer, a nice fire to sit around and beer.
I have watched all of your videos and this one is one of your best! You guys are a blast and know how to have fun for sure! I almost died when Mike's face caught on fire that was brilliant!
This video is way better than those "survivalist" videos that don't really look that fun. You guys actually looked like you enjoyed yourselves. Definitely need to do a trip like this next winter with some friends.
Too old and decrepid to mount a pack and head out anymore. As a young man I used to head to the white Mountains all the time. Fall and winter were the best time, no bugs and no worry of food spoiling for lack of rerigeration, fresh meat in particular. I now enjoy tagging along on your NH adventures.
I'm 65,just waiting for my back to heal. Will be ready this winter. Can't do many miles like when i was young. Too many mile's wit ha weeks worth of stuff and my part of the mortar. I still use military surplus. Youth is wasted on the young. Nice video guy's,really enjoyed it. Cheers
After spending 4 days in Death Valley National Park, your video was a really "cool" way to get back home. Thanks again for you artistry and congratulations to Mike for his new family members. Paul
That tubing is tap lines for collecting Maple Sap for making Maple Syrup. Its common place to take the taps out of the trees after the season in the spring. They might be left over from the last season or new taps for the up coming season.
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this fun video. It's good that you brought Mike along on this trip. : - ) He is quite the work horse, plus he cooks. Wise idea to camp at a lower elevation and be out the wind. I'm sorry that I missed your dinner and lunch invitation. You guys be safe out there and continue to have lots of fun. 🤗
Beer and steaks in the Whites made for a perfect winter trip. We had a very strange winter in Northern Michigan. The temperatures stayed above average most of the time and we had rain in January for the first time that I can remember. Lake Superior never froze!! Two years ago it was almost 100% ice. Bailing from the Michigan plan for the Whites was a good idea for this year. Bob
I was really enjoying your video; watching the end and then realized when you were in the car that I didn't want it to end. Brings back all the times that I have been out with my best friend and didn't want it to end. Just having fun and doing (safe but stupid) stuff. I have really enjoyed every video you have made.
I like the long mileage trip videos with all the cool views, but man do I love these trip videos where it's just you and Mike hanging out on a short hike/ heavy loadout. like the Harper's Ferry trip and the tunnel trip.
It certainly is nice to switch it up now and then. Especially in the Winter - snowshoeing up a 2,000' push sucks a lot more than some wood fired steaks ;)
Hey guys. You're videos are truly growing on me. You guys work well together and have a relaxed wit that adds to the hard core adventure! Keep up the good work gentlemen!
I was wondering if you could do a review on the MSR Rapidfire. I recently got one and like it a lot. I'm curious on your long term thoughts on the stove. Thanks!
This video is awesome thanks for making such a detailed record. I love camping but I'm moving back to MA from 9 years in Saudi. These videos answer pretty much all my questions about adapting to the very different climate.
Nice video and congrats to Trailkilla on the new one. Made my first pulk sled this winter. Makes it easier to bring in some extra goodies as you know. You both take care, Al
Hi, Shawn & Mike ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awesome Great snow hiking adventure I have been waiting to watch this video, I’m always surprised at the new gear y’all bring along that sled was an awesome idea to help in packing extra essentials for the trip and looked like a lot of fun sledding down the mountain. The last 5 weeks it starts raining on Thursday and lasting thru the weekend here in Ga I am enjoying watching both of y’all’s outdoor hiking adventures. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great Friday !!! Danny
Awesome Video. I see you got your question answered. We see those tubes here in Canada all the time...eh. After all we do live on Maple Syrup and Bacon. Also...-14 is a mild Canadian winter day. Lol Keep up the awesome videos.
Fun video. Love the Costco black and yellow crates. I'd consider using a tarp and some line and putting most of my pack on the sled, but if you're young, weight matters not.
Haha, Thanks, Gary. I even made some steaks tonight in honor of this video being finished. They was quite good, but nothing compares to the wood fired ones we made that night. :)
hey guys love watching your outdoor adventures keep up the good job heading outdoors it inspire me to get up of my butt and go outdoors ma self hahaha . stay safe always and God bless
Andres Quintero, Subway SUCKS for a Philadelphian. They bake their own lame WONDER BREAD nationwide. Wawa another Philly based operation uses local dough when baking to make comparable bread that they used to get delivered. They bought a Hoagie!
Awesome video, you are living life to the fullest. Fortunate that you can get out as often as you do. keep the videos coming.Have you ever hiked the Tuscarora Trail?
Enjoyed the video, and what I learned about tapping Maple trees. With pulling a Pulk sled up the side of a mountain, you both might find the info on a "Z Drag Recovery Rope System" useful. Only in this case, the recovery object is a tree, and the immovable object is the sled. Might come in handy.
Mike is definite comedy relief - I laughed out loud watching him on the sled.
One of my favorites. You all looked like you were having fun and were so much more relaxed than usual despite the cold. Loved the second childhood moments with the sled. I know Mike needed it. He really seemed more relaxed than usual. Good times, guys. Maybe should do it more often.
Fun video. Best bush crafting instructions ever... bring food/don't starve!
Haha - Thanks, Marty. ;)
Sintax and Trailkilla does it again - another great video.
As soon as I see that Sintax upload notification I watch it ASAP. Never gets old.
Thanks guys for the great video. Watching Mike sledding was so funny I kept watching it over and over. Great beer selection also. And who doesn't love a good steak. Mike congrats on your expanded family. You are a great dad that I'm sure your kids look up to. So good to see you guys together out on the trail. Great friends are a gift from god. Take care both of you and hope to see you soon. Peace.
Well done boys! I nearly choked on my coffee watching the "ancient fire starting method" bit. lol Great job.
I LOLed hard, cause at first I was watching from a distance. not reading the text. I thought Mike was blowing a bundle aflame, but was thinking "too Close!!" watched it again. bemused. good duo.
I like Mike's spreadsheet analysis of the beer inventory, along with the game plan to keep said beers from freezing. Steaks look great too.
You all have reached the pinnacle of camping...this is the highest level..
Hey Sintax,

+Heather Bean That's awesome! Congrats on getting out there and good luck on the trip!
I’m cracking up at how well thought out the beer situation was! That definitely got my subscribe!
I always appreciate Mike's attitude on these trips, up for anything, ready to deal with anything. Great video once again, please keep filming these trips!
"People let me tell you 'bout my best friend, He's a warm hearted person who'll love me till the end." Love this video so much.
Great Video.... nothing better than camping out in the snow when you have the proper equipment.... good tent, clothes, beer, real food, Alcohol, snacks, beer, insulated sleep pad and proper rated sleeping bad, beer, a nice fire to sit around and beer.

Nice, the dynamic duo is back! lol

+Jonah Underwood Don't forget the Italian subs ;)

Sintax77 winter video looks like Christmas in April for me
Tapping trees for making maple syrup... you made winter camping look fun, thanks!
Love this. Your both just two big kids having fun and chilling. Literally. Lol. Makes me wish we had mountains and stuff where I live to do that.
I love it that you're wearing a flyers hat.
Always something with Mike, injury, damaged gear, left the hiking shoes at home. But always fun to watch!
After spending 4 days in Death Valley National Park, your video was a really "cool" way to get back home. Thanks again for you artistry and congratulations to Mike for his new family members.
Paul
Outstanding ! Steaks, beer, sled riding, it will cleanse the soul. Mike rockin' the Glock jacket. Another good video. Thanks
Thanks, Rich. We had a great time.
Looks like fun.........wow..look at all that snow...good luck guys...
I enjoyed tagging on to your trip. I pack in a thermos for winter trips. Thanks for the laughs.
+Kurt Baier Thanks, Kurt. Glad to have you along :)
Thanks for taking the time to share your adventure. Looks fun.
Thanks, Talktech. This trip was a really good time.
Looked like a great time, and quality video as usual! Glad no one almost died this time:)
I know.. . The one time we had a sled to litter out Mike, and zero significant casualties.
That tubing is tap lines for collecting Maple Sap for making Maple Syrup. Its common place to take the taps out of the trees after the season in the spring. They might be left over from the last season or new taps for the up coming season.
+Justin Goodwin Thanks, Justin. That's an embarrassingly simple answer. :D
Justin Goodwin thank you for that.
Yeah it is in VT- where I am from-thats the only reason I know.
Unite A ?
That tubing for the Maple sap is strung around the forest near the Appalachia
trailhead each year. You'll see it near Lowe's as well.
Unicorn Bacon! You two have so much fun. That's what it's all about. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Glad to see trailslippa back!! Like always, great video! Keep em coming!
Your winter trips make me cold. ❄️⛺️☃️❄️😳

butter, salt, pepper, honey, brussel sprouts, center cut bacon.... very yummy back country recipes
I've seen the light! Great video boys! Im a fan! Lynn XXX
Thanks for another great vid guys!
Steak Knives? LOL.... That's funny. Love watching your hikes/camps man.
I was really enjoying your video; watching the end and then realized when you were in the car that I didn't want it to end. Brings back all the times that I have been out with my best friend and didn't want it to end. Just having fun and doing (safe but stupid) stuff. I have really enjoyed every video you have made.
+Sean Cleland Thanks, Sean! That's really awesome to hear. Glad you enjoyed it the vid.
The transition at 46:45 is brilliant.
Last 2 videos were off the hook! Your my favorite Y-tuber! I LOVE vicarious vacations! I just spent nine days in the 4 corners.
I like the long mileage trip videos with all the cool views, but man do I love these trip videos where it's just you and Mike hanging out on a short hike/ heavy loadout. like the Harper's Ferry trip and the tunnel trip.
It certainly is nice to switch it up now and then. Especially in the Winter - snowshoeing up a 2,000' push sucks a lot more than some wood fired steaks ;)
the tubing is for maple sap collection for syrup and sugar
It’s still there in 2024.
Hands down the best shot and best edited video you've put out so far.
Another great video from Sintax and Trailkilla! It is fun to just camp once in awhile, although you guys Had a good workout going in!
Always looking forward too your next adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Hey guys. You're videos are truly growing on me. You guys work well together and have a relaxed wit that adds to the hard core adventure! Keep up the good work gentlemen!
That is A LOT of work. Thank you both so much.
Great job on the color grading! Very cinematic
Great to see another video in my home state!! Love the videos. Keep up the great work!!
+Mark Belanger Thanks, Mark! NH is my favorite deep winter spot, for sure.
I was wondering if you could do a review on the MSR Rapidfire. I recently got one and like it a lot. I'm curious on your long term thoughts on the stove. Thanks!
That was fun Syntax. Thanks
woah lol looks like a good way to have fun in the snow
Liked the sled, too.
Love your videos. So we'll done...every time.
Loved every min of this vid.
Good video guys, I enjoyed it.
This video is awesome thanks for making such a detailed record. I love camping but I'm moving back to MA from 9 years in Saudi. These videos answer pretty much all my questions about adapting to the very different climate.
Great adventure guys... well I'll be on one off the snowmobiles...:)
Nice video and congrats to Trailkilla on the new one. Made my first pulk sled this winter. Makes it easier to bring in some extra goodies as you know. You both take care, Al
well done mates ...lol great channel you boys crack me up
keep having fun out there
great trip guys, i really enjoy these videos because we dont get enough sow here anymore to amount to anything.
Great video. Loved the time-lapse of taking down camp and the driving away sequence. Great video work. Made me want to go on a trip like that.
Thanks, Josh! Glad you liked it.
You guys should definitely open an extreme survival camp!!!
Lighten your load guys. Wipe the snow off the sled. Enjoyed this trip as usual.
Stumbled on to your video...loved it! Subscribed right away! Way to get out there and have some fun, great food and a few beers!
+timberdogz Thanks, Timberdogz. Welcome aboard :)
You guys are always awesome. Do more vids!
epic pleasures in the deep cold. nice
The tubing is called a "sugaring line". Collects the sap to make syrup. In VT you can hardly walk through a forest without crossing them constantly.
Made my morning!
Hi, Shawn & Mike ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awesome Great snow hiking adventure I have been waiting to watch this video, I’m always surprised at the new gear y’all bring along that sled was an awesome idea to help in packing extra essentials for the trip and looked like a lot of fun sledding down the mountain.

fire vid!! Delaneys is the best spot after a hike!
Great video as always. good to see the two of you out on another one of your misadventures. It is strange the taps are in as early as February.
And it's right along a trail on National Forest property which seems a little weird. Maybe we've got a case of Maple Syrup Poaching! :o
I love your videos
Awsome video, I really enioy watching your adventures.
Mike is looking huge.
Glorious Video as always guys! Id love to get up to the white mountains someday. I'm stuck in the Midwest for the time being.
+Valscorn01 Thanks, Valscorn. Hopefully you'll get the chance some day. It's an awesome area for camping and backpacking.
great trip... looked cold !
Awesome Video.
I see you got your question answered. We see those tubes here in Canada all the time...eh. After all we do live on Maple Syrup and Bacon.
Also...-14 is a mild Canadian winter day. Lol
Keep up the awesome videos.
The tubing is for Maple Syrup draining.
the old metal cans are rarely used anymore.
Fun video. Love the Costco black and yellow crates. I'd consider using a tarp and some line and putting most of my pack on the sled, but if you're young, weight matters not.
great video thanks for sharing
teetotally loved this vid---awesome beer bar! ;)
Tubing is for sap. Tubes are strung along and taped into maples. Tubes are then connected together for easier sap collection
Thanks!
You guys are insane ... I love it!! way to go mix'n it up and redeem yourselves. Your vids are always a treat, I can almost taste those steaks :p
Haha, Thanks, Gary. I even made some steaks tonight in honor of this video being finished. They was quite good, but nothing compares to the wood fired ones we made that night. :)
That was so cool thanks for sharing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video. But cracks me up us old guys been using pulk sleds for years and hot tents .Every would laugh at us ...lol now it's the thing ..lmao
Sintax!!! 🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
You guys need to go in together on a Seek Outside tipi and woodstove for your winter trips. They seem like they're made for you! Great vid!
Just check out their website. Oh, man...
hey guys love watching your outdoor adventures keep up the good job heading outdoors it inspire me to get up of my butt and go outdoors ma self hahaha . stay safe always and God bless
+Ian Hamilton Takimoto Thanks, Ian!
there hasn't been a time i've backpacked without fitting a six pack in my bag
ok. finally convinced to grow a beard as well. it's hard to beat that fire starting method @44:10
oh the good old Subway lunch.. yes that works like a charm :D i can attest to that
Andres Quintero, Subway SUCKS for a Philadelphian. They bake their own lame WONDER BREAD nationwide. Wawa another Philly based operation uses local dough when baking to make comparable bread that they used to get delivered.
They bought a Hoagie!
you should get the peak design shoulder strap for camera gear. Makes a big difference when vlogging while backpacking.
Bob Harper would die for some buttered coffee.
Been there before. You think "Oh dragging a sled, how hard can it be?" Dragging 100 lbs uphill is a hell of a workout!
Eyyy I was wondering what I was going to watch tonight. I now know :D
Awesome video, you are living life to the fullest. Fortunate that you can get out as often as you do. keep the videos coming.Have you ever hiked the Tuscarora Trail?
Congrats on the new edition TrailKilla ! missed this video somehow.. this winter or I'm stuck insome time warp
Enjoyed the video, and what I learned about tapping Maple trees. With pulling a Pulk sled up the side of a mountain, you both might find the info on a "Z Drag Recovery Rope System" useful. Only in this case, the recovery object is a tree, and the immovable object is the sled. Might come in handy.
+David Mason Thanks! I'll check that out.
To me this is the way to do it but without the pulling, digging and hills. Other than that ,,,perfect!!
