Default Re: Any Experienced Hikers Here?

You want some generic advice? Learn from others' mistakes. There are a bunch of great books out there, but I can think of three standouts:

1) The Backpacker's Field Manual, Revised and Updated: A Comprehensive Guide to Mastering Backcountry Skills

2) ACEP First Aid Manual

3) Don't Get Sick: The Hidden Dangers of Camping and Hiking
