    I think a lot of us could use a nice, calm, long walk in the woods right now. Feel free to share this with your stressed out non-hiker friends too - maybe it will help them get some sleep ;)

      Got that right!👍 Nothing puts me at peace faster, or more completely than my time in the woods. Although I do not go camping overnight, at least, not in a long time; I absolutely love exploring the woods. Been a subscriber for years. Love your adventures! Have binge watched your videos at various times. Well done, look forward to many more. Haven't seen a video with Mike in a while. Any plans for that? Anyway, stay safe, and keep on hittin the trails!👍Mike, from Philly

    I did this trip last November in the snow (not much though) with temps between 10-30 F without wind chills. Man, we had to haul to preserve sunlight to next camp. The elevation gain/loss was a great challenge on the will power when you don't do many hikes (completed it in a Fri-Sun weekend). I loved testing out the gear though. It was my first trip with my Hammock Gear polysil nylon tarp and first night was 30+ mi winds at night and worked like a champ! Also pushed my 20F quilts (Hammock Gear as well) 10 more degrees which felt like a huge victory for me (Was worried it was going to be very cold weekend). Such neat views/vistas on that trip. I hope to get back during warmer weather (and longer days). Thank you for capturing this trip specifically!

    @stephenpinder9567 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another great one Sean. I've only driven the interstates around that area but was amazed at the "wilds" of PA. Even though it was logged heavily back in the day, I feel it is slowly returning to a sort of wilderness between some heavily populated areas. Keep on keepin on.

    Thanks for introducing me to the TrailWinder UQ a few videos ago, I just picked one up a few weeks ago. It's great for the NE Ohio-Western PA weather I mostly experience. It's nice to have some piece of mind when it's wet and cold. Thanks for your videos of PA as well, it's what got me back out here after decades of injuries. No pain compares to being out and away, and spending the night in a hammock.

    • @sintax77
      @sintax77  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's great to here Scott. Glad the TrailWinder's working well for you. I'm really like mine a lot. I pushed the Climashield 3.6 version down to almost 30° on this trip and it did a great job. It's pretty awesome for 16 oz, considering it's not down.

    This has got to be one of the most beautiful hiking areas that I have ever seen you go through but that is just my opinion. I love it so much because it has so much variety and is also user friendly and not a test of endurance. If you can't enjoy the hike because of the terrain being un-favorable to average people it is really not worth it. That just just look like a ton of fun. Cheers Sintax,

  • @InesRadman
    @InesRadman 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Some feedback: I love watching the experience because I'm just starting out with camping as I need to spend at least one night while metal detecting. I find that these videos not just for Sintax but for most others that the gear promotion is really for their benefit. Of course, they are content creators but more time is spent on explaining the gear and how it works than the actual experience. So, like myself I get caught up on gear. Name brands here are important and I find that it's not fair because there are thousands of small companies that offer good stuff too. I live in Croatia so I don't have access to the typical gear that these people advertise, but I did learn how to judge or evaluate whether I can use it in my world which by the way is much different than the Northern regions of the planet like the US, Canada and Northern Europe. I love Sintax because he does go into great details but he's always presenting new shit on each trip and of course, he gets it from the companies but for us normal people. we get the impression that name brand is important. It's not. Almost everything is made in China and I have purchased no name brand gear or gear that is not known to everyone and is better quality than the expensive name brands. Shop around long time, I made that mistake of rushing and ended up with things that either were crap or didn't need. Just my 2 cents worth, I don't mean to devalue the content, it's great but in honesty, most of that gear isn't useful in my country.

  • @tonyrobbins6
    @tonyrobbins6 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    After your picnic bench breakfast near the end, you would have gone through a rocky section with views. There is a rattle snake den in that area and I had the fortunate occasion to meet the whole family after I stepped over one of the parents sunning itself on the rock steps. As I approached the rocky section, I planted my left hiking pole right next to one coiled up. I continued on without stopping and noticed one below a step wrapped around a small bush, so I stopped and turned to look at it. That is when I noticed I had just stepped over one laying across the rock I stepped down on. I looked at the spaced out rocks to the view side and noticed a lot of little beedy eyes looking back at me. Lo and behold, a den with a whole lot of young rattlers. The one wrapped around the bush lifted about half it's body length to look at the babies and then swung around to go across the trail right next to my feet and disappear into the forest. That was an awesome encounter.

    I just realized that when you said you weren’t crossing the bridge near the parking lot, you said counter clockwise. That actually takes you clockwise, you hiked counter clockwise to rock run.

    Hi Sintax77, We'd love to see your take on hiking the 'Minister Creek Trail' at Allegheny National Forest; the trail connects with 'North Country Trail'. It's only about 7 miles, but some do it in 3 days just to take it all in. You would do such a great job providing us with map info, historical data, wildlife / plants, campsite locations and detail, and the lay of the land. Minister Creek has been on my bucket list for years, I am visually impaired and don't know anyone who is into backpacking, and nobody will trust me to just drop me off so I can go it alone. Do you have any plans for backpacking the ANF? Thanks for all you do!

    Alright, a three night video. Like the blue shoes. Too bad they had to get soaked so soon. BTW do you have to carry Bear spray only at certain times of the year? The weather looked deceiving. Didn’t seem to look as cold as it was, especially with the wind. Too bad you had to keep going further so you could have water. I imagine it’s not worth carrying extra if you don’t have to. Maybe you and your wife could come back to that spot you wanted to stay with the beautiful views towards the end? Should you be carrying Bear spray? Thanks for the nice getaway video. Til the next one. Be safe and stay well.

    What is the puffy cocoon that you wrap around your hammock that I've seen you use during your winter videos?

    Path? I saw another graded logging railroad embankment.
    Before trucks evolved for forestry jobs timber was hauled
    to mills by trains. Ox teams and skid roads did the hauling
    trains waited to load. I see those relics in a temperate rain
    forest about 90 minutes from my residence. I own a street
    legal dirt motorcycle to go there. I use salvaged commercial
    marine nets rated to lift tons of seafood. Hosed to lose the
    fishy scent. Dumpster diving for net scraps where fishery
    vessels dock on return from Alaska,. Hung amid trees. To go
    there I use gear retailed by WesSpur Tree Equipment. Also
    using vertical training provided by the National Speleological
    Society. I enjoy learning how harvesting natural resources
    has happened.

    Anytime I’m on a trip, the first night is so hard to sleep because I’m terrified of the dark and what lurks out there. And that’s with camping with one of my adult children. I can’t imagine what it’s like by yourself. How do you manage that fear by yourself? I would like to start going on 2-3 day walks by myself as I have realized that nobody wants to go with a middle-aged sober dude. Aaand having partied hard for 30 years, i get it. People want the comfort of knowing they can bring a pint can with them or whatever. Anyway, just curious how you get through the night? Thanks, HOTC

    I've noticed your video output has decreased over the past several months. I don't see mail call videos etc. Are you just too busy these days? Not complaining, just curious.

    A friend and I have planned this loop as our first multi day backpacking experience for early March 2021. Watching your video has definitely helped us to get a grasp on what to expect. Do you have any tips for us for this trail as noobies?

      I guess the river crossing and rain at the end were good for something, haha. Threw them in the washing machine back home and they're fully restored ;)
