On March 16, 2022, I set out on my longest thru hike yet. The Ouachita Trail is a 223 mile footpath that begins in eastern Oklahoma at Talimena State Park and heads east through the Ouachita National Forest to Pinnacle Mountain State Park near Little Rock Arkansas. On this hike I carried my Warbonnet Outdoors Ridgerunner Bridge Hammock.

In this video, the third video in the four part series, I walk 42 miles over 2 days. I start at the Highway 27 Trailhead and walk to Sugar Creek. I develop knee pain that gets worse and worse. The pain gets bad enough to the point I tried to call a shuttle to quit.
