As a person who has no family interested in anything remotely outdoorsy who could teach them anything, how the fuck do you get into the hobby?
I don't know shit about fishing. I don't know shit about hunting. I want to get into camping but also don't want to do something fucking retarded because I have zero clue what I'm doing.
Should I start just by reading? Any books for retards on the subject?
Or should I just say fuck it and go /out/ and learn through trial and error?

rei loves people like you
bring a full wallet and some bags (they don't have those)
buy a tent, buy a bag, buy some shoes, hound the employees with questions, find a developed campground the kind that has showers and nice elevated sites with grills, bring some hot dogs and hamburgers, and go for a walk (the kind of campground attached to a state park or similar so you can hike nearby)

This, at least for camping. Start off car camping so that if you realise you forgot something important then you can bail.

This, start off safe and small. Baby steps, Anon.
Make sure you know the laws in your country so you don't get in trouble right off the bat.

you cant really fuck up camping that bad unless you get lost but just get a satellite phone for if you do.

Camping is literally just
>hike somewhere
>sleeping bag and tent
>make fire
>cook some food
>fuck around

you cant really fuck it up that bad? fishing and hunting you can learn about later but getting out there especially coming into summer is ez
