I really admire how you don’t panic or get overly worried when caught in bad weather miles from help. It is a good quality being able to reconsider plans as things develop, others often don’t and then come unstuck. Loving rewatching the older videos I have not seen before, thanks for taking us along.
If you’re serious about geeking out on the finer details of camping in deep snow in temperatures below zero F,
this video is for you. :) We’ll be spending a lot of time at camp experimenting, demonstrating & discussing a lot of winter camping topics in detail.
cool, informative always helps. Never winter camped but slowly gaining the knowledge for one of these days! You have the most harcore winter vids I've seen great job!
Had a long ruff day today but when I saw this video was uploaded and I started watching it made my day so much! Thank you sintax77
Why don't you use your other water filter ?
Great videos, Glad I found your channel!
Lots of great information as always. Thanks.
I know this was a couple years ago, but DUDE! I started watching your videos earlier this year and came across this one. The cold and me are not friends, but I would love to get to the point of having confidence in survival in a freezing environment that you demonstrated here. So many great tips. Thanks.
I honestly can't tell you how much joy I get out of this watching you on a snow couch in the white mountains eating noodles! Lmao!
After you mentioned Keto here, I decided to look it up and see exactly what it was about. I decided to try it on March 9. Today I am 27 lbs lighter! I'm really glad I saw this video! I know that is waaay off topic, but I hope you are encouraged how even some relatively small aside in your videos can cause a positive impact. Thanks. Now if I just had time to go backpacking...
That's awesome! I've been on it about 90%+ of the time for over a year now and have never felt better. :)
sintax77 I feel great too. Have lots to lose, but very encouraged.
Whooooo Buddy sintax.......Ain't nothing like it out there in the chill. Way to stick it out. Enjoyed it.
Glad to hear that. Thanks, man. :)
Wow.... would that be an awesome trip - Shug and Sintax.....
You're a celebrity, getting a comment from Shug. That's a badge of honor.
Hats off to the level of dedication you've got to go camping and trekking stupid uphill in snow like that, I don't have any comprehension of that magnitude of snow living in Georgia
Wow! 1 hour 40 minute Sintax video. I already gave you a thumbs up and I'll watch it after supper!👍😀
Haha - thanks, Bob.
Very Good Video! This was a good challenge going solo with a lot of gear to test. I would have used the hammock setup both nights. It would have wasted time switching setups. I really enjoyed watching your video. A+. A winter trip in my area would have been nice, but with the lake effect snow it's too unpredictable for backpacking and driving. Also you may have been limited on trail choices. Sometimes a person can make a good loop, but not always. Thanks again for taking us along on your winter adventure in the Whites!! 👍👍😀
So excited when I see a solo sintax video😄👍👍
Definitely like the judgement calls, I’m New to winter camping and it’s a good thing to see the reality of it, I was in NH 2 weeks ago camping for the first time, but we were in a tent... thank you!
I rarely watch a video that is longer than 45 mins but am finding your videos so informative and interesting that I am watching and enjoying them in their entirety. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your adventures. Don.
Thanks, Dom. That's awesome to hear. Glad you're getting something out of them :)
I watched in disbelief and amazement at the volume of detail that you verbalized throughout.
Great decisions turning back and staying in the hammock vs repositioning camp so you could eat and hydrate. Great episode
I live in NH and been exactly where you camped, I give you much props, you have the clothing for sure to survive and I can tell your experienced, great winter white mountain camp video!
This is one of my favorite channels. Thorough reviews and entertaining. Thanks for the hard work
Living on the edge in the Whites. You always manage to have an experience up here! Thats a tough slog any way you slice it.
Great video and some hard core winter hanging. What I have discovered when laying tarp lines or tent lines is to not tie the line to the stick you bury. Simpley put the stick in the bend of the line and tie a tautline above the snow. When the snow sets you can tension the tautline. When breaking camp just untie the knot and pull the line out. Saves digging them back out.
Awesome tip, thank you. I will try that next time, for sure.
Hey don't be so hard on yourself with the change of plans, it's real life. I appreciate the changes and how you think through what's best for you, and all the other things that are part of the process. I also appreciate you saying, that you want to enjoy your trip and the surrounding. It's not about jamming a bunch of things into a day. Your doing great and it's been fun riding along with ya.👍
Great video! Glad you made it out alive and reaffirmed all the reasons I am not ready for backpacking in the snow!
Thanks, TC. You should try it though. Take the plunge :)
Tough not even a shiver thanks. I did that in my 20’s now I’m 74. Good memories. Michigan
Great video! Being a native of the western NY snowbelt where we often get 15-20 inch snows, I totally applaud your decision to not summit and skip the bivy experiment! Always better to stay warm and safe! Love this one and the adirondack video from a couple of years ago. Also like your idea of putting the canister in water. And I always try to keep 2 lighters in my pocket with a hot hands hand warmer. They usually fire right up.
Thanks, man. Yeah, I need to get in a better habit of keeping my lighters on me so they actually work!
Great video, glad to see you made the choice to turn and hammock! Hydrated was also great importance.
Said many can always came back.
Thanks for sharing as always I had to watch this again after awhile I have been going back over a lot of ones I have already watched and I always enjoy your films you put a lot of attention to excellence and it really shows Thank you
I love your solo trips!!!
Consider positioning your stove with the throttle facing you so you do not have to reach over the stove exposing your face to potential burns from flare ups.
Nice trip report Sintax- I live in MD- and the amount of driving you’re doing to that VT/NH area I can really appreciate after having done the long trail a few times last year.. Really enjoyed watching!
Just what I need after a long Monday! Another great winter camping trip, I can’t wait too get out too the smokies here soon and do some trips.
Great video. I think you would have been a bit more comfortable if you spent the day collecting firewood and made a fire. Maybe the weather would have made it difficult, but at negative 2, I would want a fire.
I thoroughly enjoyed all 100 and a half minutes of this one.
Thanks, Frank. Glad to hear that.
Haven’t watched yet, but I always make time out of my day in order to watch any new Sintax Videos, looking forward to it now
I'm behind on your videos. That being said, if you'd like to geek out with temperature, you can get a Garmin Tempe. Pair it with your GPS (or watch if you get one) and you can log temperature. It also shows you the highest and lowest temperature from the last 24 hours. It's officially rated to -4, but will go well below that.
Sounds cool - thanks for the heads up!
Great video and I appreciate the versatility of the stove and camping setup you brought. I’m also glad to see someone else seeing the efficacy of military surplus items.
Shawn you are amazing! How you can find your way and not get lost is just great. I would have gotten lost and die out there in the all white terrain. Thumbs up!
A tip if you're still reading comments, don't slide your striker across your ferro, slide your ferro across your striker. You won't accidentally hit your fuel source that way.
Great video! I was kind of thinking maybe too long before hitting play, but it was fun and informative all the way through. And great editing, too. Glad you had the diesel fuel along with the white gas running out and it being too cold for the canister! I also like how you included us in your decision making and then setting the good example by choosing safety over machismo. Thanks for an enjoyable viewing!
That was fantastic viewing... thanks a million or two 😂 keep it up. Brilliant video
Real good flick Sintax77. All that snow sure made your trip/video interesting. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Thanks, Rob. I certainly did get handed a visual gem with that snowy background all around me.
Diesel has more kilojoules per unit of fuel than any other fuel. So it is no wonder it heated better. The trick is to keep the flow low enough so that it fully atomizes in the gas chamber, the flame at the burner will be brightish yellow, but very hot.
Impressive trip Sintax! I know how miserable wet and cold can be but you handled it like a pro. Kudos
Thanks, Matt. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Dude, total respect for going out alone in the whites in the winter. I think you’re decisions were wise. We’d rather see another video than hear bad news. Outdoor Vitals should be happy that you gave them a shot in such harsh conditions and Optimus should be thrilled. “Dirty diesel saves the day”. Thanks for a great (vicarious) adventure. BTW. I’d recommend putting gas in a red can and diesel in green. Accidentally mixing = not good.
Thanks, OPM. That's a great idea with the color coding. Red MSR bottle for the gas, green Optimus for diesel. I like it :)
Hello sintax77, I'm digging your gravitation towards military surplus gear and would be interested to hear you talk about that maybe on your next mail call. More specifically what attracts you to it, pros/cons ect. I have integrated a few surplus pieces into my load out and am very impressed with their cold weather gear. Performance and durability seem to be much higher than anything else out there for often a fraction of the price. Happy trails =)
Great topic idea, thanks! I'll make sure to touch on this in the next Mail Call.
I love all of your vids Sintax, but I can't decide which is best, the winter stuff or the obscure/creepy destinations :D
Very well done on this trip and video (I've watched multiple times...)
Great tips about clothing/moisture control in snow and freezing. Nice adjustments to weather conditions with your gear and plans.
Great video. Watching you in this one, made me add a few more things to my list of backpacking equipment. Your videos have taught us all to plan our trips a little better. Thanks and keep them coming.
You are a madman!!!! Excellent video. I learned more about these stoves in this video than all my researching on the big web. Also, you make winter camping look doable. Dangerous. Why? Because it gives me ideas I shouldn't have. Kidding aside, good insight into how to make decisions on the side of safety vs. sticking to original plans when things don't go to plan. Good stuff.
MSR Dragonfly does really good with both diesel & white gas / Coleman fuel. Minimal to no sooting with either, the only issue is that it's kind of heavy, kind of big, & it's ridiculously LOUD, like a jet engine (but that's why it burns clean, great aerosolization of the fuel)! It's more an ideal car camping / basecamp / SHTF stove, rather than an UL backpacking stove. For me, the nice thing about Diesel is that my BMW X5 is also diesel, where I always keep a 5 gallon spare can of diesel when I'm headed out to BFE where I may not find a trustworthy diesel fill station for a while, especially in the winter (Bad diesel is a great way to cause $8K+ in damage to a modern diesel vehicle)... Awesome vid, winter camping is definitely my favorite due to the complexities of it & testing out / experimenting w/ different things; however, these days, my car is not far from the campsite & my tent is heated, where I day hike out from there, or in the general area as I have a car at my camp to get to other places nearby ;)
when i winter camp, i put a handwarmer in each boot, tuck the laces in, then put my old socks on top to keep the heat in overnight. boots are nice and warm and unfrozen when i put them on in the morning.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Picked up a lot of information about winter hiking.
We always used a square of 1/2 closed cell foam under our Svea stove in the winter. Kept it up off the snow and ice and allowed it to build up pressure. might work for propane too.
next time show the cheeseburger at the end - great content as usual
I know this is four years late, but I have often thought the same! 😂😂
There’s no shame in being shown scranning a cheeseburger.
Absolutely beautiful scenery
awesome trip my man, i wish we got snow like that here. Enjoyed every minute all 100 of them
Great adventure!!! I always love your videos I've been following you from the start and each trip is always great. You make smart moves and give great advice. Thank you so much and I look forward to the next one. Stay safe and god bless to you and your family. P.S. tell Mike we miss him. I know it's tough getting out with a big family But we will see him soon I'm sure...
Another good video testing equipment. Keep them coming. FYI you can wrap your fuel canister in some clothing while your stove is running to help keep the fuel warm.
If you are going to use diesel fuel as a heat source in low temps, make sure the diesel has an anti-gel additive mixed in. Most gas stations add it to the duesel in the underground tanks, but some don't. If untreated, fiesel fuel will thicken and gel up and wont run throught your lines or stove. Like he also daid, keeping it on a couple ziplocks at the foot of your sleeping bag is a good idea.
Great video. Very informative. Living in Texas I am very jealous of all the snow. I'm a big fan of Outdoor Vitals. I have 3 of their sleeping bags and under quilts and they all preform above and beyond what I expect. Great value products. Can't wait for your bivy camp. Have a great day and God Bless.
Each time I go hammock camping, I use ratchet straps and a hammock my wife reinforced with heavy duty fabrics, ratcheted very tight to 4 trees about 8ft off the ground. I also use a tarp that is 4ft above the hammock. The straps are usually tight enough to stand on so I can tie it to a tree and tie it to the hammock. Basically turning it into a two person tent that’s 8ft up. I use a paracord ladder to climb up. My wife custom made most of our camping stuff. Learn to use a sewing machine, you can make some amazing camping stuff or greatly improve what you have.
I have the mummy pod system as well and I believe you have to unzip the foot box and tuck the bottom of the foot box into the pod and pull it back out a partial way. I have used it down to its rating and it worked well. Keep up the great content chief!
I think i have watched this video three times!!! Lmao! Your pretty funny and really ballsy!
Hammock camping scares me. I'm afraid I will turn into a butterfly by morning time.
vanscoyoc I love camping hammocks in the south, but you need a mosquito net. Hammocks are ideal for us arthritic oldies with artificial joints, more comfortable than a cot or bare ground
Bear tacos are great!
I woke up one night around 3am to the feeling of something touching me on my back. I jumped and grabbed a flashlight only to see a fawn there looking for a bite to eat, smelling the food from my bag. I’ve always been paranoid of that ever since
@@ScopedKilz We never hear about the stories where the bear, wolf, cougar were 'touching' the camper in the hammock or tent. Likely because they didn't survive to tell the tale. :)
Great video....a bit too much detail but informative. I've been all over the area. We are expecting 10-18" by tomorrow, may do a day snowshoe hike in that area Saturday.
Setting priorities and goals like you have like not reaching the summit and time is a very smart decision a lot of hikers have died trying to push for the summit when they shouldn't have in the second choice that you made was a smart choice staying above the snow instead of being in byiv mode and being buried in the snow
Your best videos are when you're solo
I enjoyed your adventure thoroughly my friend. I happen to enjoy your solos very much. Like your hikes with Mike as well.
Thanks, Dough. Glad to hear that :)
Very cool adventure. Great tip on the shaking of the jacket int he cold too.
Why no twig stove option, Sintaxx? ;) I love my Pocket Rocket, JetBoil, Whisperlite, $5 Chinese canister stove, Trangia etoh burner, and multiple beer can etoh burners....BUT... twig stoves!... They can be made at home for next to nothing, no cold constraints, and look at all the free fuel that nature provides....even if its wet, its all so small that it is easily ignitable. Look into them. Thanks for the vid today!!
Dam man ! What a trip . Literally . You worked your ass off .. Great video.
South of the Kank is nice, should try up towards Jackson if you're ever up this way again. We have a family cabin up that way and I have a few secluded spots I like to hit along the rivers.
This has a little more snow than the Grayson highland winter trip!! But less ponies 😂😂😂. Great flick as always! 🖒🖒
Maybe it was Sasquatch! Lol. I live in Texas, we get excited to get any snow, it is very rare! It is beautiful there!
Hey Karen I moved to Ohio from Texas and I can tell you I have seen plenty of ice and snow in Texas it is rare though but there has been some very bad years let me tell you I've been through them be cool
Another great and inform him informative video my friend. Thank you for taking all the time and trouble to create it. A lot of fantastic tips. It can be scary to camp in the winter if you’re by yourself and you happen to get wet or don’t have the right equipment. By the way the hang angle is 30°. Be blessed brother. John
Well Done. You are well spoken and describe your thoughts well, all the while being interesting!
Another great video in the bag. I especially appreciate the different fuel experiments.
But how come you're constantly wearing waterproof clothing while on the move in perfect, sunny winter weather? I understand wearing them while at camp and when the heavy/wet snow was coming down, but otherwise, it just seems unnecessary and a sure way to overheat. I couldn't probably even wear that fleece jacket while on the move without sweating, let alone a hardshell on top of it. 🤒
Love this one; great job with he filming. FYI - I wear vapor barrier liners (ie plastic bread bags) in my boots on multi day trips. boots never freeze up and feet stay warm. You amazingly do not sweat too much. Required procedure for ADK winter school too
Interesting - thanks!
A small wood gasifier stove such as the Solo is MUCH less weight than a multi-fuel stove and works great no matter what the temp. Just a thought...
That is a shit ton of snow. Thanks for all the video . I wouldnt be in that stuff being from California. And you made a great many great decisions I noticed. One turning around going back doun the hill and just keeping up the hammock and not changing to the bivy. Great job
You can winter camp in the snow in Cali anytime ya want. Just drive up to the mountains. Been up there plenty. There's no shortage of snow.
For downhill, a plastic garbage can lid would work. Steering would be tricky.
On a serious note, if you are smart, you get to hike again. Bad decisions can stop that from happening.
adaptors for a 1lb green propane bottle are less than $10, and it will burn down to around minus 40f.
I just think it's crazy that you carried out all that gear just to experiment with... so as a viewer... thanks. Great vid
Question what would you do if were stuck after you got back to your jeep .Do call the ranger station to find out when the plowing crew will get to your parking lot ? This for future situation in Allegheny
national forest .
Nice video...just missing a little Sarah, Denali, Key-so, and "grape juice"
Great video. Thank you for sharing your trip with us
Great thanks for your time and effort into the video it was a pleasure watching
I made the mistake of sleeping in a hammock in the winter once. Froze my butt off! Sleeping in in the snow is much warmer and insulates you from the cold if you make a shelter.
It will probably be a while still before I start doing winter camping, but knowing the limits of that isobutane is really a wake-up call. I'll have to be very careful on the fuel I choose
Thanks a bunch. I really enjoy your vids and adventures. Thanks for all the effort you put into and for sharing
30 years of camping, I have never felt the need to carry cooking fuel. Mother nature supplies all you will ever need.
Surely you have to admit there are times and locations that cooking with a fire are less than ideal. Stoves absolutely come in handy!
Right or wrong-Delaney’s Hole in the Wall in N Conway is the best cheeseburger in NH?
Every time we go to the Whites,we jump off from N Conway,and I love that place when we return from the bush.
A) Right. B) Don't forget the wings too. Those things are amazing :)
Hey I thought that Carol was going on this trip with you instead of just sitting around watching UA-cam videos and then complaining about those who do??? Great trip man! My wife would kill me if I tried to head out in conditions like that.
Making good decisions is more important than trying to continue with goals that have risks. Not doing that is 1 of the leading causes of accidents. I liked the way you would stop and think things out before you continued.
I learned the hard way in West Virginia I fell in hawks best state park after I accidentally wandered off trail of i had my walking stick i wouldn't of fallen but I left it in the car luckily I was just bruised up and the rest of the trip i was fine but great video I have a Lawson hammock if I if I can get it to a winter quality set up like yours i do have a under quilt that's made for it but it's a 14 degree one and the built in but net probably will hinder me putting a winter sock on it I might get a different hammock for winter
i like your types of equipment for all your trips especially your water filter i wish to have one
Solid trip things don't always go the way we would like but nice job of assessing the situation. For the cold boots in the morning have you ever used hand warmers or anything similar in them to help with getting back into your footwear?
Shawn - you can STILL have your cheeseburger on Keto - substitute lettuce leaves for the bun. Sometimes, it takes two. Congrats on the Keto - been also doing it for a year. You listen to the 2 Keto Dudes podcast?
Thanks, I hadn't heard of that podcast before, but I'll have to check it out. I love to do the lettuce wraps for taco nights too! Good stuff :)
It sounds like you had "popcorn snow". Was there propane in your Isobutane canister? Generally speaking, Propane is good down to -45, Isobutane, down to zero and butane down to 15 degrees F. I can not help but wonder if maybe your Optimus stove might be better if it was engineered for one fuel type. You did a great job your video. You may want check out vapor barriers while hiking, both on your body and feet. For those below zero temps, a vapor barrier while sleeping could be helpful, especially for multiple sequential days. Thanks you for testing the stove and for sharing the adventure and your discoveries.
Nice adventure as always! As for the cold leak by the feet in the Mummy Pod, You kept saying the footbox zipper went up?
I also have a Mummy Pod and as far as I can tell your suppose to open the footbox zipper completely and then stuff the footbox end part
inside the bag as a "cork" and use the cinch cord to keep it plugged up, I also tie a knot on the cinch cord to keep it secure.
Hoping to see more trips like this, nothing like bad weather to keep things interesting. ;)
Holy Carol that must of been testing well done mate the don of the trail loving the videos been a subby for 3 months now hardcore man love the abandoned turnpike and radar station ones this is another level bear Grylls would of got a chopper and gone back to his hotel lmao peace out mate matt from the UK top geeza
Thank you sintex for the info
Around 40 mins you busted out the Daniel Boon hat!!!!!! So far i have enjoyed this vid
I used the same outdoor vitals hammock system in a major ice storm and another inside and was toasty. my dog crawled inside and as the wind rocked us we snuggled in. The only down time was you can't lay side ways. Open ends will make the system fail.
Where's trail Killa? Trailkilla + sintax = entertainment.
I don't want to spoil anything ...but stayed tuned ;)
Trailkilla may need answers but todd likes surprises.
I agree....sintax77 + white mountains = excellent video content......BUT, without Trailkilla??? .....it’s not quite the same. Get back out there, Trailkilla!
I was hoping Trailkilla would along for this trip, too. :(
