Take a mental vacation. Use your walking time to think about pleasant things. Avoid using the time to ponder family problems or bills. It is essential to feel good about what you are doing.   Kevin Solway (173)

Don't assume your hiking partners are experienced. Ask them about their gear, experience, preferences, and plans. If they are vague, boastful, or offended by these questions, they are probably inexperienced and you will need to make allowances.   kellyjones00 (593)

Use your "landscape eyes" to see your overall route in the land, rather than following the foot pads made by others. Even if you never leave their track and practice low-impact bushwalking, imagine your route. It is much more interesting to be immersed this way.   kellyjones00 (593)
