There is something very powerful about nature and being in nature. Before you set off into the woods, make sure that you have a pack prepared with food like energy bars or trail mix to keep you moving, plenty of water, dry, protected matches, a space blanket to keep you warm and to signal for help during the day, an LED flashlight or LED lantern for use at night, a compass, and the best survival knife that you can find or afford.
My favorite place to hike is the Rocky Mountains. Don't pack soft fruits that bruise or spoil easily. It is better to hike in the cool of the mornings and evenings.
You can buy bulbs for your flashlight for as cheap as about six dollars. Always wear woolen socks to keep the feet dry and comfortable. As difficulty increases, however, so does the amount of stuff you need.
Take the time to find a pair of boots that feel terrific as soon as you put them on. How to choose the right sleeping bag, what utensils to carry with you, how to pack and what to do and what not to do at your camping grounds. Look up the characteristics of each in your guide to determine what they are and how they are useful in nature.
Read a good book with the wind whispering through the leaves. Slow down the pace of your life and take time to enjoy the great outdoors.
