>>1235191There's no universal metric for /out/ "success" beyond enjoying yourself and not dying/becoming injured. Most outdoor skills revolve around maintaining your morale and comfort level thus most people tailor any kind of advanced advice to their own preferences. As for basic advice, if you can't sort that info out into relevant and non-relevant just wing a solo 1-2 day trip in a relatively safe area and the issues that you need to address WILL make themselves known. Remember, advice about the outdoors is much more important when the person giving it goes /out/ in the same type of nature as you. That said, don't completely ignore advice from elsewhere as everybody generally has the same basic needs while /out/.
