The REAL Benny Braden's video: Benton MacKaye Trail NOBO Thru-Hike Day 13 Noland Creek Trailhead to Smokemont Campground

On March 9,2019 I began my NOBO thru-hike of the 290 mile Benton MacKaye Trail. The BMT southern terminus is located at Springer Mt, GA. It weaves its way through the Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina mountains as it makes its way into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where it ends at its northern terminus at the Baxter Creek Trailhead in the Big Creek area of GSMNP. The plan was to solo hike it in under 20 days and only make 3 resupply stops. DAY 13 Stats: •Daily Mileage: 26 •Total Mileage: 259 •Daily Elevation Change: 11,428.5 •Total Elevation Change: 101,552.1 The Gear I used: •Zpacks Arc Blast Backpack: https://zpacks.com/products/arc-blast-backpack?aff=5 •Zpacks Titanium Tent Stakes: https://zpacks.com/collections/stakes?aff=5 •Zpacks 30 Degree Sleeping Bag: https://zpacks.com/collections/classic-sleeping-bag?aff=5 •Zpacks Duplex Tent: https://zpacks.com/products/duplex-tent?aff=5 •Zpacks Vertice Rain Jacket: https://zpacks.com/products/vertice-rain-jacket?aff=5 •Zpacks Trucker Hat: https://zpacks.com/products/zpacks-trucker-hat?aff=5 •Zpacks Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles: https://zpacks.com/products/zpacks-carbon-fiber-trekking-pole?aff=5 •Zpacks Bear Bag Kit: https://zpacks.com/products/bear-bagging-kit?aff=5 •Goosefeet Gear Jacket: https://goosefeetgear.com/ •Black Rock Gear Down Beanie: https://www.blackrockgear.com/ •Brooks Caldera: •Darn Tough Socks: https://amzn.to/2Jo5LFA •Thermarest Neo Air: https://amzn.to/2Jqy86h •Sea To Summit Aeros Pillow: https://amzn.to/2JziiF5 •Black Diamond Spot Headlamp: https://amzn.to/30nOBO4 •Exofficio 9” Boxer Briefs: https://amzn.to/2LK1fTB •Anker Battery Pack 13,000 mAh: https://amzn.to/2JzVbKI •Hygienna Solo Bidet: https://amzn.to/2Sh1XsE •App Gear Alpaca Hoodie: https://www.appalachiangearcompany.com/ Video footage shot with: •GoPro Hero 7: https://amzn.to/2G3LP8T •iPhone Xs Max VIDEO EDITED: •Final Cut Pro ✖️DISCLAIMER:.......THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS, THAT MEANS IF YOU CLICK ON ONE OF THE PRODUCT LINKS, I WILL RECEIVE A SMALL COMMISSION AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU.
