I'm 18 and most of my few friends are either not into that sort of thing or not as close to me to go with me. I know I need gear like a tent, food, sleeping bag, flashlight, emergency kit ect.. but is it fesable going alone on your first short backpacking trip, like a hike through the wilderness with one camp to the final destination, like 2 or 3 days. I have heard great things about solidute without tehnology and without entertainment.

I live in a pretty urban town and never liked hiking beacuse I was forced into it by my parents and they never took enough water. I am not the kind of person to be doing this but I want to do it to kind of develop my character, try to be bored for a day or three without the luxury modern life offers and sucumb to just looking out in the wilderness and apriciating life in the now more. Might even take a blunt or two.

I am in a pretty lonley stage of my life, I have close to no one just beacuse of my personal choice not to tolerate pepole I can't stand. I am not in a postion to find anyone that I can go with but that doesn't bother me. Beacuse this summer I beacame oversocialized and rely on others for having fun. I have realized that since I have left my parents holiday home and returned to my normal life I do nothing but sit around on reels and other midneless content. Feels like my entire life this month is bleak without anything interesting because I am subconsciously waiting to go out with the friends I don't have here and can no longer do anything by myself. Backpacking over the weekend seems like a great activity to make myself be able to be alone without muting my brain with short term content.
