Have some family in Vermont. I've been there twice and always love the hiking. Such a beautiful state!

Didn't you hear that woman speak French on the radio? That was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life jesus that was beautiful french is the best

Always love seeing Denali!

Great video, something out of the normal is always nice to watch.

Went and got two pillows and a sleeping pad from your link along with one of thier sleeping pads. The website seems a little scammy but you seem to like the pillow so i'm gonna try it

Very nice trip Shawn as is usual it was very enjoyable. I have to add a fast food spoon to my kit.

Thanks for the pillow offer. Nice video.

Thanks for a great visit to the Long Trail. My family hiked more southerly sections of the trail, beginning near Bennington, VT.

Great snow effects!

Awesome video. Love the trail magic and the scenery.

Great view

Another great video! Very interesting and informative. You and Dixie are my favorites 👣

Loving the views. Great Video👍

Great video. Sounds like something I would do drive a long time just to check out a trail for a night.

You need to get Sarah back out with you. I really enjoy watching her also.

Sintax!! Your videos are the best man. Always cranking out high quality videos. And it’s cool to see someone filming trips in the northeast!! Thanks for inspiring me (and im sure others too) to get out and hike, and even record the trips. I did the first section of the long trail a year ago and have been itching to continue ever since. Thanks for the awesome videos man!

Hello my friend, thank you for sharing your fine video. I really enjoyed it. Denali looks like a fine traveling companion. Be safe out there. 🤗

Hey man I'm new to your channel and I'm a native vermonter and was looking for videos where in Vermont to go backpack camping. Are you from Vermont? Great video thank you.

Liked seeing you break out the tent. Also excited to try out the pillow. Been looking at that company for a while now.

First love the video as always. I live in the foothills of the ADKs and not far from VT and the Long Trail. Need to get over there. Question what are you using for audio recording? Particularly when you’re a distance from the camera. Ie sitting on the concrete block eating breakfast. The audio is so clear.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I sometimes use a secondary remote mic, but in this case it was just some post audio production tweaking.

My old stomping grounds. I grew up skiing there and have done a similar hike up the Jerusalem Trail (you passed the intersection on your way to Mt. Ellen) just to hang out at the Starks Nest. The sunset over the Adirondacks is great from behind the chairlift as is the sunrise from the deck over the Whites. Glad to see they put in the rain barrel, used to have to go south to the above mentioned intersection to a spring. I also have a canine hiking buddy, a golden named Piper. Great video, also enjoyed the one from Zion! "WIDG" LT '03 NH 48 4K

My family has a hunting camp on Lincoln gap road. Really enjoy your videos man.

Just happen to be watching this on 8.29.19. Weird coincidence.

oh, dude. i am so sorry but that is not northern vermont. north central vermont maybe, but really not northern vermont. i only mention it because you were happy to hear about what those blue tubes were in the sugarbush. i live near here and have spent some time in stark's nest. it's cool to see you on my landscape.

Great video. Thanks for the free pillow ink....scooped one up.

Another great video. Waiting for cooler temps (here in Florida) to get out and do some solo hikes. Thanks for the pillow offer from VO. I find your reviews on products very helpful. I have purchased the hiking poles and battery pack you reviewed in your videos.

We have had the same problem up here in the Pacific Northwest with break in to vehicles at trailhead parking lots.

Love VT- just drove from eastern shore, MD last Thursday and hiked VT140 to Rte 4, up and over Killington Peak. Leaves were getting close to peak.. great vid btw

You called your gregory an Osprey i believe. Ik im late to the party lol.

"Mad River Glen...camp it if you can!"

Nice to see the stoves got some use! I did this section last year (aka Monroe Skyline). We were hanging out by the ski lift, and they must be on a timer to move every so often because it just started going out of nowhere! We thought we broke something! Lol Just south of you was Mount Abraham, a bald Peak with 360° views. Had a real NH vibe! Cheers brother!

If anyone is interested in the free pillow, there is a $10 shipping and handling fee. Also be careful while making your order, if you reload the page or go back to the previous page you will be double charged, and if you click on any of the additional purchases it will immediately add it to your order. I have been charged a total of $100 and am currently trying to contact outdoor vitals and cancel one of the orders.

Enjoyed the vid and the great mountain scenery. Sorry about the wrong weather forecast and all the views spoiled on the trek out. Great find in an open building! Nice follow up on viewer mail. I missed the time on the second one on the concrete in the wind. But it obviously worked! I use OV 15 degree quilt, so I am going to pick up the pillow.

Love the opening scene already. App Gap!! I’ve done a few bike races that climbed both sides of the gap. even won one.

Where you had your egg brunch was basically Mt Ellen. The actual summit is a pile of rocks about .1 miles continuing south on the long trail. Just did that section about a week after you did. Went 184 miles nobo on the long trail before my knees kicked me off. I hammock camped most of the way. Love the videos!

Awesome video Shawn! Great to see you back in a tent! I was just in that area last week it is beautiful. I grabbed two of those pillows there smaller and most likely lighter then the ones I currently use so looking forward to trying them out!

Got me a pillow. Thanks for the head's up. Great video as always.

That's a nice area up there. I have never hiked it, closest I came was the AT down by the Killington area. Hoping that after hiking the Long Trail, when you stopped for a cheeseburger it was at Long Trail Brewery.

When you turned around, you were basically at the summit of Ellen. The true summit was maybe 50 ft down the long trail (viewless). I hiked Ellen and Abraham from Lincoln gap two days ago!

Hey Shawn, I'm a newcomer to your channel nd I really like it and needless to say I'm catching up on your videos. I was wondering about the pillow for free? Does the company do that on a regular time each year or was it a one time thing for you and your subs when watching this video?

The cost of the pillow is included in the "shipping charge". That is a deceptive marketing practice. Another problem with the "Outdoor Vitals" company is their email practices. They seem to be spammers. Even though I did not complete the form needed to receive the "free" pillow, they had enough info to begin sending me emails without my permission. I clicked the unsubscribe link in one email, but continued to receive spam from them. I just clicked the unsubscribe link again, so I will see if they stop spamming me. I will be saying more about it if they for a second time ignore my attempt to unsubscribe.

Besides weather forecast apps, I use radar apps like Raindar. If you have internet connectivity on your phone, it will show where the rain clouds actually are and which direction they are going. Even if you have a huge chance of rain, radar apps can sometimes show where there are "holes" in the rain so you can plan when to take cover and when to make a run for it before the next wave hits.

Hey Sintax. Love your videos, cant wait to see them when they come out. Ever think about coming down to Florida? We have the Florida Trail which is over 1000 miles long and it goes through swamps, prairies, forests, etc. May be a bit too far from you but one day...perhaps you'll be able to give it a try.

Hi, Shawn 👍🏻👍🏻 I was hoping to see some amazing views from the top but you can’t always get the perfect weather, it’s a great day just to be outdoors enjoying a nice hiking adventure. I would like to know what are those packs on Denali, I have been looking for a good backpack for my Lab Jase to take when I’m taking Jase hiking or just enjoying a day at a State Park. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great Friday !!! Danny

I agree with you with regard to trail magic: leave it for the thru hikers.

Great video as always! Unfortunate that I can't have the pillow shipped to Canada :(

I really enjoyed the video and all of your other videos. Question for you; do you ever think that you'll do Katahdin (Baxter State Park)?

Hey man! I’ve been a fan of yours for years! Your first Pemi Loop video started it all and I’ve been following you ever since. Most comments I’ve wanted to leave were mostly fanboy type things, so I’ve restrained myself. I know you get enough of those... haha. However, I wanted to add to your t-shirt pillowcase idea... I’ve been using a klymit inflatable pad with an awesome Nemo pillow for a couple of years now and I love them both. However, with both products being made of pretty slippery material, I would always have troubles with my pillow slipping off the pad during the night. So a while back, I started putting my pad up inside the T-shirt as if the pad were a body with no arms. Then I tuck my pillow up inside the T-shirt and it keeps it from slipping up or off to either side. Works like a charm, adds no extra weight, and makes sleeping in a tent (I’m still not on board with hammock camping) that much more bearable. I dunno when you’ll be sleeping in a tent next, but give this trick a whirl next time and see if it works for you! Keep up the awesome work, man! It’s really been great to watch your page grow and I’m always eager to see where you’re off to next! Peace, Brother!

Yep, that works too. I still do that sometimes. Slightly messier, but gets the job done.

So I wasn't aware of this till I was searching rei while watching this video but apparently toaks makes an alcohol stove. Its a bit spendy especially compared to the cat food stove but since you're into that type of stove I thought that I'd pass that bit of knowledge on.

Hello Sintax, noticed in the last few videos you changed your car. Nice car you have now

Had to comment super early cause I'm excited for another Sintax upload!! Will watch later though :D

Very considerate of you not taking the trail magic. Great character! A lot of day hikers pig out at some trail magic coolers. If you get a burn mark on picnic tables cut a piece of aluminum foil the size of the bottom of your pot and put it under the stove. The bottom of the fancee feast gets very hot obviously.

I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, do you have any suggestions for people with shoulder issues . I had my right replaced and the left has some serious issues. I also had spinal fusion but, still want to section hike the long trail. What would be a good pack for a woman like myself . I am 57 years old

I'm also put off by OV's claim that "shipping" is $9.99. For a four ounce first class mail including a padded envelope, shipping is under two bucks. Maybe they're allocating another eight bucks in "handling" and "overhead", but that's still bogus. Let's be honest, and just call it a heavily discounted pillow. The bogus "free" makes them look like real cheats. Even if they said five dollars shipping, I wouldn't have called it totally unreasonable. But $9.99? WalMart, Amazon, Ziplock....

What watch do you use? Can you do a review? I have been using Suunto Vector and Core for years.
