>>695869I'd say the best way to start is to pull up google maps on the are where you live in sattelite mode and find a decent patch of forest or grasslands or mountainous area (depends on your locality). If it is less than 4 miles to the spot go there on foot, if more, use other transportation. Take a few snacks with you, not too much, so you would fill up, but enough not to feel hungry. Also look up if the area has any nature wonders/monuments, if there are, visit them. If not, just hike on the present trails or go and bushwhack. Wear anything, that you don't mind screwing up. Later on you will figure out what would be better to wear, buy, while looking at various equipment. Just make shure, that the base of your shoe isn't super flat.
