You Do Not Need Expensive Gear To Start.
Shoes you already own, a water bottle, and a printed map will get you through most first hikes. Save the gear obsession for after you know you love it.
Short Counts.
Thirty minutes on a flat trail is a real hike. It counts. It builds habit. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
Your Pace Is Correct.
The people blowing past you are not winning at life.
Safety Is A Habit, Not A Personality.
Tell someone where you are going. Bring water. Turn around before you are tired. That is ninety percent of it.
Starting Is The Hardest Part.
Everything after that is a loop.
