If it would help motivate you, do something very horrible so that you can never puss out and return.

Have you tried googling it?

Lost river cave system in Warren county is ok. Well the parts that aren't under the water table...

>>770937
Daniel Boone National Forest has lots of unmapped caves that you can find simply by walking around. Found a huge one that had 15 foot ceilings and went like 120 feet back once just hiking. Must have been 5 miles from a trail.

Acclimate, drink water.

Things get worse? Go down fast. HAPE/HACE is not something to fuck with.

Try to spend a night at the trailhead
While backpacking, try to sleep at lower elevations

chew coca leaves
it really helps a lot
also helps you to stay active much longer and be less hungry

Knock out your boots/shoes before putting them on in the morning.

Don't worry, you'll learn everything the hard way like we all had to. Well not me. I did geology in Europe so we stayed in hotels like civilized human beings but... nevertheless you'll be fine.

Shake out your shoes and cover your dumps

Sorry OP, no matter how well you try to cover up, you won't escape the dust and silt in the desert. I just went out last weekend actually and I woke up with about a 1-2mm of sand covering me because a wind storm came through over night. It's tough times.

Bring water into the tent at night, and I advise having eye drops and chapstick. You'll be a dusty bastard come morning.

Do you have any camping experience?

Find a light weight tent (alps mountaineering makes a good quality affordable one man ~$100usd), sleeping mat, and bag, or go with a hammock set up. It's all about preference and how much comfort you need to get a good nights sleep. I personally don't like sleeping on hammocks because I like to be able to sleep on my stomach and side which isn't very comfortable given the shape of hammocks.

You should get a decent sized pack, 65-80 liters, and some light weight cooking gear. I like jetboil but people here poo poo it (there are a lot of unnessisarily picky people on this board). It works great and boils water super fast which is what you'll need since the meals you should bring should be dehydrated stuff. It's lightweight and full of the nutrients you need when exerting yourself.

Another likely essential would be a water purification system. From a lot of experience, I'd recommend buying a hanging bag system. It's the simplest design with no moving parts meaning that, as long as you're somewhat careful not to puncture the bags, it is the least likely to experience mechanical failure.

Don't pack a lot of clothes. One pair of pants will do and a few shirts, a hoodie, and 5 or so pairs of underwear. Bring some biodegradable all purpose soap (Dr. Bronner's ftw) to clean your cloths and body.

I recommend a mid height boot especially if you're an inexperienced backpacker. They offer better ankle support than a low so you're less likely to twist your ankle and become stranded.

Hope this helped! Have fun OP!

Hi and thank you, anon, for your response.
I don't have much camping experience in the conditions I have described but I do have some experience in general.
I should've clarified I barely have any money to work with but your post was very helpful anyway. I'll try to get as much stuff as you described as possible, though it might not always work out.

From what I'd like to respond to, I think I'll get the hammock.
How should I be placing the hammock? If I place it too high up, won't I be fucked if it breaks and I'll be on it, asleep? If I put it close to the ground, the wildlife could come and get me.
Safety during sleep is very important to me and I'll take any advice I can get.
Maybe I could plan it around getting to places where sleeping would be more safe. What kind of places would you recommend? Certainly not a middle of a forest.

Me (OP) again.
I have done some reasearch and discovered that there aren't that many predators lurking around. In fact, they are very rare. Still, I wouldn't like to meet any of them.

Though there is a lot of wild boars on my way lately and I heard those can fuck you up.
Been reading about them for a while.
I don't suppose they can get up into trees with their piggy legs.

Many years ago innawood a branch whapped me in a face and one of the twigs got under the corner of my eye and as myself and my brother were trying to undwedge it my eye popped out. I pushed it back in with my hand, which felt like a horrible ice cream headache. Shit still ain't right †bh.

There can be only one

Get one of those hammocks that has a support and turns into its own little hanging tent

>>746389
If there won't be trees, I'd recommend a tent. If the ground will be hard or uneven, I'd recommend a hammock.

If you've never hammocked before, borrow one from a friend or buy a cheap one at Wal-Mart. You probably won't regret spending the $25, even if you do decide to use a tent on this trip.

In my opinion, hammocks are better for a single person, tents are better for couple and families.

Hammock and tarp. Take a sleeping pad in case you have to sleep on the ground.

I use a hat to try to protect myself from ticks
