I've lived in a city all my life. For a year I did live in a smaller town in a valley and got bored pretty quickly, because my idea of fun is walking around town and seeing stuff there. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in the countryside for fun. I can fish and the only hiking I've done is just on woodland trails in the city. I wouldn't know what land /out/ there is public or private, what I'm supposed to do once I'm there, what else I'm supposed to do on a hike other than walk, I'm not interested in hunting. I've never been camping before but I'm open to it. How do I appreciate the outdoors more?
sorry you either love god's creation or you dont>>>/lgbt/
First off, can you be content spending time by yourself? Thats the most important thing if you’re going alone. Also you can hike to push your endurance, fishing is a good idea, and you can enjoy looking at nature. The quiet is beautiful city slicker
What kind of monster would bury a cat in concrete?
>>2852661just enjoy new things you haven't see before
>>2853404Yea, I prefer being alone. I do like to sit by the river often and just look at it. But I didn't know if there's more to the outdoors that I was missing out on. I'm just trying to get an idea of what people do.
>>2852661honestly a big appeal of the outdoors is because it's a refuge for those who are sick and tired of the city life, regardless of its glitz and glam. so yeah if you still find city life appealing i don't think outdoor stuffs is for you yetdon't force yourself, OP

>>2852661>I wouldn't know what land /out/ there is public or privateI'm not sure where you live, but your government should have a digital atlas you can check if you're specifically looking for certain kinds of private/public land. Where I am this is useful beyond just going to managed parks, if you're looking for somewhere there's less likely to be people (at least if it's not hunting season).>How do I appreciate the outdoors more?You said yourself that you've never been camping, that can be a good way to get into it. Start with something like car camping that's easy. Personally, I also like to have something "to do" when I'm going in the bush, rather than just hanging around a campsite. Some things you can try are: - Birding, you didn't mention this, but a classic outdoors special interest. - Mushroom identification (go with your local mycology group). Or other foraging. - Fishing. Try different styles/species: salmon fishing is very different from walleye fishing. Some people love ice fishing but aren't as into regular fishing. - Hiking can be good because you have a goal and you can do different routes and keep changing things up (distance, elevation change, speed, location).
