First: get a DECENT pair of boots. Or if you cant afford a good pair, go running in your MOABs every day for about a month.
Second: Take a carton of PORT. This is a fortified wine that will augment your experience and give you energy to keep walking.
Third: Bribe at least two members of your group to give you a massage simultaneously when you have set up camp, cooked an eaten.
Fourth: Give fellow hikers drugs they haven't tried before - there is a small but important chance they will have a paradoxical reaction to hallucinogens that will cause them to clean up the entire campsite.
Fifth: Camp with people who have strong reigious convictions but who will be forced to abandon them as their tether to reality fades. This will make you feel powerful and "right"
Fifth: If a crisis occurs make sure you volunteer to be the hero who runs for a day and a half to get everyone rescued. Usually you can gain all the social capital of doing this without actually having to commit the act, but if you actually do it's great exercise and you are totally the one in control.
