It's 76.2 miles from Oconee State Park to Table Rock State Park. That's like 3 marathons back to back! It's not easy, but it's worth it. I hope you enjoy my week long adventure on the Foothills Trail

Hii..I been searching for video about hair care in hikes, I found yours and after I watched it I looked on this one...BTW thanks for your advice im glad that exist girls who cares about hair and look on hikes 😊 seen you pushing over limits remind of me, sometimes thinking in pain why I'm doing this, but once I reach summit and see sun setting down and all that beauty all is clear to my mind and heart...thank you for sharing...

Hey! So glad you found my video about hiking hair care helpful. Hiking can be tough, but that doesn't mean us girls have to look a train wreck the whole time. 😆 I'm also glad you can relate. Those special moments on the mountain top make the whole experience worth it. ⛰️😌 Thanks for watching and taking the time to say hi!

Awesome job and video. You should post your itinerary: each day/leg/milage/campsite, how you resupplied, etc. congrats

@SeagrasstoSassafras 2 месяца назад

I sort of did that in the trail journal on my blog. (link in the description) I also have a "5 tips for doing this hike" video! As for resupply, I decided to carry the whole week's worth of food. Folks typically leave a food cache at the halfway point. I didn't want to risk a bear getting to it before I did 😅😉

Great job on the video. I'm a volunteer on the Allegheny Trail and love seeing the work the Conservancy does on the Foothills Trail.

@SeagrasstoSassafras 2 года назад

Sorry about the late reply RU-vid has been dumping random comments in "Held for review" jail 🤨 It depends if you want to feel like you can take on ANYTHING that comes at you then the Art Loeb. If you want a gradual introduction to the challenges of long distance backpacking then Foothills.

From Smartwool to the foothills trail. Thanks to introducing me to the trail. I camped on the Chatooga when I was a boy with my family so I have special memories of that. I am a native of SC but live in VA but I think I might like to make that hike myself. Thanks again!

@472doghouse 3 года назад

Thanks for that tip about the baking soda! The worst part of my FHT hike (which was my 1st longish distance hike, too) was how bad my clothes smelled. Putting on my wet, stinky hiking clothes each morning was super demoralizing. The endless stair-climbing was nothing compared to the unrelenting stench of my hiking shirt.

@SeagrasstoSassafras 3 года назад

🤣 YES! The hiker stench gets REAL. It takes more discipline to put your nasty clothes back on than it does to tackle those difficult climbs. Partly why I brought a change for the halfway mark. If I could just hold myself over until then with baking soda 😫

I showed her this video and she loved it and is super excited to go too! We love the gnome build story :-). Now we start our training. We live in SC too, so it makes it for easy access to some good trails. So the sit pad that you used that was outside of your tent too - was that an actual sit pad? It looked comfy. Where is it from?

@SeagrasstoSassafras 3 года назад

So glad I could help. Funny story, it's not an actual sit pad, even though I use it for that and to keep my pack from getting dirty in the vestibule. You know that stuff people use to line their kitchen drawers? That's what it is. A whole roll of it is like $5. I cut it to size, it's SO lightweight and compact, and if something happens to it there's no major loss. I can make another. It is made of very thin foam but it's surprisingly durable!

You should do it! Still the best trip I've been on. So I went West to East because over the Summer I did a weekend loop starting on the Palmetto Trail section in Table Rock and ending at the Nature Center off the FHT. The views coming back into the park were so incredible I decided I had to make it the last thing I saw on the hike in October. ALSO I love the Pumpkintown restaurant on hwy 11 and their sandwiches were the one thing motivating me to reach the end...

23:58 Incredible view! This video of your Thru hike was one of the best I have seen yet. Looking to do this in a couple weeks, and your perspective helped me get a better idea of what is ahead. Did you use a solo stove? Now following #81!

@SeagrasstoSassafras 3 года назад

Welcome #81, thanks for your support. SO, everyone has asked me if it's a solo stove. It is not it's an off brand I got on Amazon. I really didn't want to pay the $70+ for a stove I may not like... and I'm glad I didn't. The wood burning stove is a cool idea but requires SO MUCH attention and takes longer than I like to spend just to boil water. Anyway did you get to hike the trail yet? If so, how did that go??

@MetroOnTheMove 3 года назад

@@SeagrasstoSassafras Hello! Ive been looking at the larger one for the back yard. Agreed that the stove could be easily replaced with a smaller stove to boil water. I use the BRS 3000 that I got on Amazon for $16! Just finished a short Thru hike of the PMT and planning to do the Foothills Trail now in the fall. Mainly because I want to hike with some other hikers from RU-vid and they won't be able to do this until Oct or so. Really appreciated your perspective of the trail and watched the entire video.

This was a great video. I really enjoyed your narration. The Foothills Trail is on my short list when I start training to get back out to the AT. My then 13-yr-old son and I did GA to NJ in '19 but had to cut our trip short to get him back to school in early August. The few videos of the FT remind me so much of the AT, but with a much higher waterfall to mile density.

I have been looking at the Solo stove for two people and need all the feedback that I can get. Thank you so much!

@SeagrasstoSassafras 3 года назад

Thank you so much! That's so awesome. I say this a lot but I LOVE hearing about parents introducing their kids to backpacking. Y'all are going to have an incredible adventure!! So this trip was actually my first time using a wood burning stove. After a whole week with it I gotta say I love my isobutane stove more. There were several nights where I couldn't find any dry sticks (or enough to get the water boiled) and ended up with cold half rehydrated meals. It's a very cool concept and does save on weight BUT I found more things went wrong than right with it and after a long 15 mile day it's not what I wanted to deal with. That's not to say I don't plan to use it again, just not on a long trip where I need a consist supply of fuel. I hope that helps!

Another great trail up there is the Chatooga River trail...45 miles and follows the river for the most part.
