Winter Hiking Reality Check: What I Didn't Expect

Описание: I set out to hike 28 miles on South Carolina’s Foothills Trail, only to face fallen trees, icy terrain, fading daylight, and tough decisions along the way...

From storm damage and snow-covered tracks to night hiking and an unexpected campsite beside the Chattooga River, this journey became a true test of endurance, awareness, and mindset. If you love backpacking, hiking, and real outdoor adventure stories, this video shows what winter hiking is really like: no filters, no shortcuts.
