Overlanding in the Francis Marion National Forest / The SCAR - Part 3

#overlanding #SouthCarolina #FrancisMarionNationalForest
The SCAR Episode 3.
We pick up our overlanding the South Carolina Adventure Route (The S.C.A.R.) in the Francis Marion National Forest. This time I've got my Jeep JKU Rubicon and I'm again joined by my brother Beav in his 94 Land Cruiser and our buddy Brian in his FJ Cruiser.
Camping in The Francis Marion National Forest proved to be harder and much more muddy than we thought. We had a great time but it came with a lot of new challenges.

I love how you go down these crazy nowhere roads and find the most amazing campsites! Getting out and exploring God’s creation and having adventures is the BEST. Great video and can’t wait for the next one!

[@SimplyMustGo]

Wish you had been with us, but NEXT time!

[@gamecock2465]

Thanks for sharing this seems like a great trip to take once I get my new Jeep. I’m looking forward to getting out and exploring SC.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Yeah it's an awesome trip (or trips) to take! You'll love it!

[@blueduster74]

Really looking forward to doing the SCAR. Just the drive to Myrtle on all back roads was awesome. Finally started on the wiring harness on my old Dodge, hope to start getting some trails by March.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Awesome! There are some new sections I really want to do.

[@BeavBrodie1]

Man! This was really good. I shouldn’t even edit my version of it now…

[@SimplyMustGo]

Thanks, but I still require you to make your video. You always make great videos and I want to see your take.

[@brianfernandez65]

I love watching you guys, going on to this nice roads. I really really want to start overlanding. I like the trails you travelled to

[@SimplyMustGo]

Thank you so much.

[@benharmon2817]

This was a fun episode to watch, as I live right in this national forest. I recognized most of the roads and the little camp sites. Definitely swampy, but has a unique beauty to it.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Thank you! Yeah it has a style all its own for sure! Working on episode 3 now. Should be out soon!

[@benharmon2817]

@@SimplyMustGo can’t wait to watch it! I’ve got a couple acres on the water, if you’re ever in the Francis Marion again and can’t find a spot to camp come crash in my back yard!

[@SimplyMustGo]

@@benharmon2817 I'd love that!! - Next episode is going live at 6pm today!

[@DuyanFarms]

Hi SMG Fam. Another nice video. Not sure which rainy weekend this was but gosh. That's a lot of muck. We went north last week and did the first part of the GeoTrav. We found an absolutely beautiful campsite with a couple more in the same area. Looking forward to your next episode. Let us know if you need another Jeep Fam to even the odds. Hahahaha...

[@SimplyMustGo]

That’s awesome! I really want to do the Georgia traverse next! So we might have to compare notes on campsites. I’m hoping to get to the upstate again either in Jan or Feb.

[@jkhaus1able]

We live in the Lexington area and are wanting to do this trip. Thank you for sharing

[@SimplyMustGo]

You’ll love it! I still have to finish w few sections.

[@adamj2281]

I was out on parts of the SCAR in Francis Marion on New Year's Eve (during the day) after a ton of rain the night before, definitely muddy and hit a spot on a side trail (marked on Onx) where water was up over the bottom door pegs on a JL Rubicon

[@SimplyMustGo]

Wow! Yeah we hit some deeper spots the next day, but I’m not sure we hit that one. I’m working on that video now actually!

[@adamj2281]

@@SimplyMustGo Yeah it pushed right on through, 4L and slow and steady. Thanks for these videos, nice to see more coverage of SC

[@heinmillerlax]

I live in charleston, let me tag along next time!

[@GingaWave]

I have a stock JLU Sahara with the 32” all terrains. Think I could make it through the majority of this?

[@SimplyMustGo]

Absolutely. You should be able to make it through all of it no problem. My JKU is stock with Discount Tire All Terrains and I had no issues at all.

[@cjleon1104]

Happen to have a pin 📌 for that camp spot you found?

[@mileinfinityhomestead6280]

It’s all completely flat except for the mud holes. I freakin hate the low country

[@SimplyMustGo]

It was still fun. Though I do prefer the mountain areas more.

[@raymondclark1785]

It's like home here in the Jersey Pinelands I don't need to drive 600 miles to get bogged down and muddy

[@dickinaroundoutdoors8609]

Looks like a trip and some awesome areas which I will have to check out some day-Thanks for sharing!

[@SimplyMustGo]

Thank you!! Yeah it’s fun. Still have more to do.
