Go on your own.

>>948177
Im already becoming very asocial, and im afraid that'll be my final step to full on beta.

>my final step to full on beta.
That's not how it work, more, going and doing things by yourself without caring about what others thing is as alpha as they come.

But if that's a legit concern for you you may try >>>/r9k/ or any other faggotry board.

grow up

Hike the Camino de Santiago through Portugal

Where are you thinking of going, OP? Sounds like you just want to be talked into it.
I'll be going hiking in the Atlas Mountains in April; you're welcome to join me.

>>948266
No, he should hike the Pennine Way in Lithuania.

Make friends on the trail.

>>948266
I don't know if you are joking or not but that's definitely a good hike to meet people.

>>948173

Going out for hiking in Norway around May (not far from Tromso) feel free to join mate

And going out on your own is alpha as fuck

>>948474
How many km are you going to hike?

Not op but since you are probably a scandi can you shine some light in this thread >>946936
Thanks

>>948173
>beta

Your thinking is wrong thinking.

Agreed with all who say solo is alpha. I solo all the time, no two fucks given, and I am alpha af!

Op you literally have two choices:
>get new friends
>go alone

You can of course do both, your friends sound like little shits anyway.

>>948173
go out on your own
just use some common sense with the areas you're visiting
>know where you're going
cook your own food, youll save ass loads of money

>>948555
Why cook?

Fruits, nuts, cheeses, breads, canned meats, salami, summer sausages, all require no refridgeration or cooking.

Carry water tabs and ditch the stove.

>>948561
Smells like bait...

1-3 lbs (if that) for a small camp stove and maybe another 2-4 for fuel, another 5 for some homemade dry dinners and you can go all week.

How much would a week of canned meats and veggies weigh? About 10-15 lbs. That's not even counting any breads, nuts and cheeses. All that salt and dry, fiberless food is going to block you up and dehydrate your ass.

Hunt for squirrels and mice, fish, eat leaves and bark, new shoots from the ground, moss from rocks and fallen trees.

People who go camping beyond their backyards?

>>948173
make some microliths, attach them to a long pointy stick and go hiking alone or with a medium-sized doggo

>>948173
Went hiking abroad 3 times so far, 2, 1, 2 month trips. Many solo hiking trips in country.

If you're going to even somewhat used trail, you're going to meet people, some of them solo as well or in small groups. If you're socially adapt you'll be accepted and could hike alone with them for a while.
Most important factor in joining groups/couples:
Do not be a burden, you must be in the top 50% of the hikers in terms of speed and endurance (compared to the rest of the group), better yet be the best or second best.

Give them space, sometimes hiking alone 0.5-1 km ahead or behind the rest to give them privacy. Sometimes even going half a day to a day ahead by starting early is good).

Be able to go solo if needed, or you want to do so. I'm always prepared to go solo, but usually I find others or join a group within days of starting out.

If you are looking to join others, it's a good thing to have something extra to bring to the group, for example, I'm more experienced than most at setting pace, navigating, choosing a shelter location.
Have experience in mountaineering, snow conditions in the mountains etc, so people naturally feel safer to have me along.
But you can provide through item you're carrying as well, some good whiskey, stores of chocolate, professional camera or a go-pro could be the thing.
