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.

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.

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!

+Heather Bean That's awesome! Congrats on getting out there and good luck on the trip!

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.

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 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!

Mike is definite comedy relief - I laughed out loud watching him on the sled.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

You all have reached the pinnacle of camping...this is the highest level..

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.

Always something with Mike, injury, damaged gear, left the hiking shoes at home. But always fun to watch!

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

Nice, the dynamic duo is back! lol

Outstanding ! Steaks, beer, sled riding, it will cleanse the soul. Mike rockin' the Glock jacket. Another good video. Thanks

Hands down the best shot and best edited video you've put out so far.

Looks like fun.........wow..look at all that snow...good luck guys...

Steak Knives? LOL.... That's funny. Love watching your hikes/camps man.

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.

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

Always looking forward too your next adventure. Thanks for sharing.

Great job on the color grading! Very cinematic

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.

Lighten your load guys. Wipe the snow off the sled. Enjoyed this trip as usual.

That is A LOT of work. Thank you both so much.

great trip guys, i really enjoy these videos because we dont get enough sow here anymore to amount to anything.

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.

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!

The tubing is for Maple Syrup draining. the old metal cans are rarely used anymore.

Tubing is for sap. Tubes are strung along and taped into maples. Tubes are then connected together for easier sap collection

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.

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?

To me this is the way to do it but without the pulling, digging and hills. Other than that ,,,perfect!!

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

Those tubes were maple sugar collection runs. Instead of taping one tree they tap several together to be able to bring the sap to one location. Respectfully yours G Malise
