So enjoy your videos. We live in Newton County, so the BRT and OHT are our two favorites, but truly enjoy your journeys to the other great beauties ! Thanks for sharing!❤

Hey Chris, new subscriber here. For any of the trails in Arkansas, do you hang your food or take any preventative measures to reduce bear encounters?
