and it doesn't even have to be a separate channel it can just be a series on this channel.

Still gets me when I watch this video that you did this with a GR1. One of my favorite trails of all time!

Excellent Video!👍😀 I stayed up late to watch this one. This video brings back some of the older Sintax videos. Ooops! 1:10:54 was day 2 again! I've made a few mistakes in editing and missed correcting them. It looked like a good challenging area for a backpacking trip. Thanks for taking us along! Bob

the bird sounds like a Killdeer. The mother will feign injury and draw your attention to her in order to lead you away from the eggs, which are usually nearby on the ground

Very interesting! That certainly sounds like what I experienced.

Glad you stayed safe... even with the bear encounter!

I've done the same - created an ultralight loadout, good for multiple days and minus 3c, all fits in a small 400 gram, G4free backpack which cost me £20 on Amazon. literally 0 compromises, totally storm proof and bug proof, Exped synmat ul 7 xl. love it.

Love the BFT! It was my first ever backpacking trip back in 2006. Have been back twice since where friends and I ‘ran’ the trail in a day. It’s no joke with it’s 8550 elevation gain.

I went there in the early 1980's for peak fall leaf color and remember the tough climbs and awesome views. I recall going over a quarter mile stretch of car size boulders too. Thanks for the cool vid.

“It’s getting scrambly” lol. How can you drink coffee at 8pm before dinner and right before you go to sleep?? The audio book I get,especially on the trial because that’s a go to for me but no coffee or caffeine after I’m done hiking for sure.

“Scrambly”. Another Sintax linguistic creation! Fantastic video and really cool trip. The greens and colors really came through and your minimalism is impressive.

Nice to see an old school syntax solo hike video awesome thanks for another awesome video Bro!

Yee haw! Finally another video from you. I've been having sintax withdrawals.missing Sarah. Hope she is doing well. Love ya man!

sintax77, I found your channel yesterday when I searched for backpacking food tips. I found your video useful (bringing along some Snickers and olive oil on an upcoming 5 day trip!) and it's very cool to see you just uploaded another vid shortly after

Hi, Henry. Welcome to the channel! :)

Nice trip, thanks for posting. I had a wild black duck pretty much climb up my boot one time to distract me from her ducklings escaping into the brush along a small pond. She played the broken wing trick (along the trail I was taking anyway) until I was far enough away that she was comfortable to fly back. Maybe your bird was doing the same thing.

Thanks, Doug. It was a fun trip and great trail.

Used to mountain bike the george b. Will trail and the one they named after his wife. Also santero de shay trail. Went out one day to ride, and 16 foot fences marked off acres of forest, including right through the middle of state financed (read taxpayers) forest land trails. So commenced the beginning of fracking. If your are stepping on wildlife, in the middle of a well worn trail, that is an indication to slow down and look around a little bit. Very entertaining videos. I can relate to getting turned around a little when bushwhacking...in the time of map and compass...gps wasn't around then. Especially in spring and summer... next time it might not be a bird... Eastern kangaroo mouse. Operate at night. They love campfires. They have real long hind legs and a long tail with a bushy frond on the end of it. Lucky to have seen one! Later,

Thanks for the video. Was planing on doing this loop myself in August before the Fall semester starts so your timing was excellent.

Good to see you back out on the trail, wow super lite setup

What a gorgeous place to Waltz your Matilda for sure, love the video keep up the great work.

My stomping grounds... only we hit all the forest roads in my old Willy’s Jeep. I will be doing some hammock camping up there this summer/fall for sure... first good vid I’ve seen of the BFT. Thanks for taking us along... Yeah lots of BIG rattlers up there!

You know what AT through hikers say PA is know for. Rocks,roots and,rattlesnakes. Glad you made it through with no problems my friend.

I did the AT in'98. The only place I saw a rattler was in PA. Smallish. He didn't want to move off the trail.

Am I the only one that got the “Predator” vibe at 29:44?? ... Awesome video!

Yay, your back. Your videos motivate me so much. I have been rewatching your videos for a while was hoping for a new one. Thanks.

Sin, good vid as always! The way they blazed this trail was kinda wack, though. On double blazes that indicate a turn, I have always experienced that the bottom blaze is centered and the top blaze is painted either halfway right or left of the bottom one....thereby indicating which direction the trail turns. On the North Country Trail all through Northern Lower Michigan where I live, and all the many hikes in Michigans UP on the NCT, this has rang true. Bunch of rookies down there!! :) This technique surely makes it easier to navigate.

The red blazes you saw that were mixed in with the orange blazes that had you a little confused were from a connecting snowmobile trail on the dyer branch grade. I wish they had it marked just a little better! What a great hike, I live in the neighborhood!

Badass solo hiking . always better. No one sucking your spirits dry .nice video

Black Forest Trail is my favorite trail. Many great memories from trips there. You didn't say you saw a rattlesnake. There are some there. Thanks for the video!

Great hike! Glad to see others get screwed up sometime when following the trail, you've made me feel better about some of my own mistakes that I've made along the way. Keep living the dream, man.

Nice. This is on my to do list

Out standing, You said it, living the dream.

Nice.. looked like a fun trip. Thanks for the video

bushcraft&camping I watched Joe for a few months and he’s pretty good, but it gets dead boring after a while. He doesn’t really do anything. He just goes out into the woods of flat Ontario, finds a place to camp, and the video is just an hour or two of him sitting at camp talking... Sintax’s videos are the best and just as informative gear wise.

We ran into an Eastern Timber Rattler once in Letchworth Park in central NY. Very similar situation, Rocky ridges along a revine. Something to be cognisant of when hiking in areas like that. Good point to bring up. Black Forest looks like a great areas. May need to check it out someday.

DId the BFT in 2016. Highly recommend it ....

Glad to be watching another awesome video ...can’t wait for the next trip

Thanks for putting this out. Hiked this trail over the last few days and your video was a great resource

I wanna get out there for the BFT. Looks killer, I'm actually hitting up the Pemi Loop this weekend, I've watched your video on that about 10 times lol. Love it!!

Great vid as usual... I got that "Blair Witch" vibe with those rock sculptures...

Yeah man keto is no joke.. I dropped a solid 40lbs over 8 months. On trips I now live it up and bring dogs and burgers, cheese and packets of salmon, fish or spam. Trail mix and jerky for snacks.. So glad I can justify not eating mountain house anymore (not a fan :) Only down side is I require a fire for cooking the burgers. I don't get hungry nearly as often as pre-keto. Worse part is if you get tha keto breff! Breakfast is usually precooked bacon and hard boiled eggs. If I'm on a multi-day I'll begrudgingly take some MH and save it for day 2 and 3. ..You do look quite svelt now a days sin! Been gone for a while and getting back in the mood for fall 'packing. BFT is my neck of the woods :) WOO!

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing it:)

I love this trail! I also love my Goruck packs. Never thought it’d be practical to use one tile the BFT! Im impressed! Do an event some time, they’re top notch!

The long day hiking depleted your glycogen stores.the mountain house meals were probably just enough carbs to restore your bodies stored glycogen. Another great video. Wish I had more free time to hit a nice trail like this.

Great trail! I shall add it to my list. Thanks for the vid. Goodstuff.

Thanks you guys! I learned about forgiving breakfast to get going on the trail and to definitely research and pay attention to where were going and what e're doing. Kudos! Tell Mike: intelligis. Gratias tibi!

Really enjoyed the classic style syntax hike. That pack is insanely light and really does look incognito. I see you swapped the VW for a Jeep, looks awesome! Thanks for crushing all those miles and sharing the experience.

Love the videos! Keep them coming! I actually hike in a couple of the same areas as you do beings I'm located in south jersey right over the bridge from philly. Speaking of maps and pricing in this video, have you ever tried to order maps from mythopoetic.com? I swear by them, the map is fully customizable to the area you want, and they range from $9-$14 I'm pretty sure. I always get them printed on tear proof and water resistant paper. All you do is type in where your going and then highlight the area you will be going to for your trip. Then pic your options like if you want grid lines printed or not and what color, the type of map, scale, grid designation, basically anything u want. The biggest thing to remember is to make sure the type of map matches your hand held GPS if your using one. So if your GPS is set to USGS you select that when ordering your map. Like I said I swear by them and they even print your name on the map if that kind of thing makes you laugh. What I really like is once your account is set up and let's say your kinda going back to the same trails but taking a different route that's not completely on the map you already order, you just click and drag the map on the screen to where you want and that's it. Turn around time is 3-4 days for me but they do offer 2 day shipping. I did have a map come in wrong once, customer service was the best I have come across, they overnighted me the correct map and my next two maps were free. I do not work for this company I feel like I must add I am just truly happy with their product and service. Let me know how you make out if you do end up buying a map.

Got a trip coming up this weekend in blue ridge Georgia can't wait

I much prefer your solo videos. Thanks for this!

Great video, defiantly doing this trail soon. I NEVER do Keto when I hike. It's good to carb cycle or take a complete break from Keto sometimes, especially when you're burning so many calories hiking.

Finally, he's back on the trail! Hitting it hard! Good video, hope to see more!

Great video! I’m planning on doing this hike later this fall with my son. Lots of good information!

Thanks, Steve. I was thinking the Manor might be a cool place to go back to with Sara some time. Although, the cabin is only a handful of miles a way and it's dog friendly, haha. I put that bumper on after someone decided to run into my new jeep at the mall a couple months ago :o

Steripen: Wiping the bottle neck is supposed to be good enough. But after the water has been nuked, I squeeze the bottle to let the "safe" water wash over the bottle neck. Now that it has been rinsed with safe water, I'll nuke the bottle again, in case any contaminants were pulled back into the water. Yeah, paranoid and a waste of 1/2 the Steripen's lifetime capacity I suppose. But I really don't want gyppy tummy in the woods. Not a big deal, just takes another minute. I suppose any college bio lab could do a water test to see if it really makes any difference. That's something the folks at Steripen really "should" do, to show their product works as intended.

Hi Mike, if I may, love the vid. Rock mounds (slate) formation at start - check out some gear we have this end - 9 standards, Wainwright coast to coast - bronze age. Story goes these guys mark a cusp. Waters flow opposing here, west and east. Love the woods you guys have, but can't get my head around your maps- amazed at how you guys get around on such. Maybe that's just British mentality. An island no more than 40 miles either direction to cost with maps which almost identity ant hills. Then you guys, hundreds of miles to anywhere with maps that baffle me senseless. Still..loving it. chin. Chin as we say over here :-) it's a toast, glass raiser, saulute, bottoms up, cheers - no wonder we're so confused over here where one thing means twenty, - this spiced rum is good :-) Dave
