Winter hiking in the Ozarks: How To Stay Warm & Safe featuring Hawksbill Craig

Winter in the Ozarks has no bugs , snakes, and less crowds (well less bugs and snakes). We go hiking every week and I'll go over some great gear that we take with us on every trip. Don't underestimate day hikes in the ozarks as the weather can change and you should always be ready! We then go on an iconic hike of Hawksbill Craig that is probably the one of the most photographed locations in the Arkansas Ozarks. 00:00 Intro 00:03 intro to winter hiking gear for the ozarks and Hawksbill Craig hike 00:45 Winter hiking gear: day pack and contents 09:04 Winter hiking gear: Clothing 20:09 Winter hiking gear: footware 26:35 Hawksbill Craig information 29:09 The Hike 33:55 Thank you all! portable bathroom just in case! https://youtu.be/HUDTYT4b_jA My Amazon affiliate links, meaning I get a commission if you decide to make a purchase through my links, at no cost to you.
