Hello /out/, figured this was the best board to ask about this. I have gained an interest in solo backpack camping recently and with the weather warming up, am looking to give it a shot. There’s a nature reserve near me that is drying up pretty quickly and I’d like to make a trip within a couple weeks. What are the very basics I should bring along and things I should look out for/be aware of? I realize that I’m going to learn a lot from the first few trips but what are some essentials?
