Hello, I'm planning a 3 day backpacking trip on the ozark trail. Roughly 30 mile out and back, beginning at Taum Sauk going to Johnston Shut-in and back. This year alone I've logged over 500 trail miles and 22 backcountry nights, so if its your first time going no problem, if you have some experience I'm always happy to learn some new trick or tip. Note that being in good physical shape is beneficial for the terrain, this is not a "walk in the park"
