Planning Ozark Trail Thru Hike

Planning logistics such as shuttles, resupplies, hotels, water sources, bail outs and such for a 13 day, 230 mile north bound solo thru hike of the Ozark Trail in Missouri can be over whelming. Researching the trail and preparation are key to reducing the chances of adversity while hiking.
In this video, I show you how I prepare and keep organized prior to making this backpacking trip.
