I'm planning a extended solo hike through the ouchita national forest. Hopefully, within the next month. What time of the year did you go through?

Those creeks are full of water snakes. They can get aggressive. If they start coming towards you just throw some rocks at em. I never had any problems with ticks. But they like my girlfriends private parts. My problem was the big horse fly's.. they would eat me up. Huge welts that would take a day to go away.

Next time u go camping/ hiking take a air horn and use it if u see a bear again !! It scares the bear away 😀👍

Whiskey 🥃 helps the sounds go away. That’s what I do when I’m solo camping.

Good video. However and I swear I am not being smug here. Your fear is very high with the sight of the bear. Your fear could have caused you to make some very poor decisions. I would say that you might not need to do any solo hikes this big for your own safety. This is really to anyone. If you are fearful and not prepared for the flora and fauna at a location, you need more people with you. Hike responsibly and safely.

Thank you! I do appreciate it and totally agree. It was a surreal experience and you never can predict how you will react unless you are trained for it!

Scott that's some good advice. I traveled this mountain for 7 years. I've seen some absolutely huge bears. Got lucky with one that was 6 feet away. I was just about to walk out the door. They are really fast. And never get between momma and her Cubs. I did have one that I developed a relationship with. He got used to seeing me. We would talk for 10- 15 minutes and then I'd leave. I could get about 40 or 50 feet from him. People should be in groups for sure. Bring some bear spray if it makes you feel safe. GL

I remember my first solo overnight trip. I was on my tent in the middle of nowhere off trail ,and something was walking around my camp scratching stuff. I was in the military at the time and I always carry a powerful firearm, I was waiting for a bear to start ripping my tent and I was ready to fight 😂, scared to death! I eventually fell asleep after whatever was there went away. Next morning I found little footprints around my camp, probably a raccoon 😂. When you are alone in the woods and scared animals sound larger that what they are. Get a 10mm and practice, you might never have to use it, but the peace of mind it gives me makes the extra weight worth it. Thanks for the video

Great job!!! Kudos for doing it solo as well! How is it with the dogs? Do they eat a lot of food? Do you carry their food as well? We just did the loop this weekend! Check out the video on my channel ! :)
@mollykendrick33683 жыл бұрын
I’ve hiked with lots of different dogs and some do great and some don’t! Definitely depends on their capability and getting their lags toughened up! We have had to carry one off the trail before!
