grapeeaterThis is a little bit embarrassing, but how do you get used to camping outside? I need to travel some more to get to places but I always feel like I'm not really camping right. I never really did it at home, so I'm not very used to it.
[And there's the fact that he really doesn't like forests since... well. It reminds him of that place.]
What kind of tips have you all picked up on the road? I'm kind of curious.

If you don't have a Pokemon that can teleport or fly, I would advise against traveling long distances right away.

If you're planning on walking every day, invest in a sturdy walking stick. Although if you have a Pokemon you can ride on you can probably survive with a large stick you find while hiking.
[A pause before he texts again.]
Sorry for giving you advice without properly introducing myself; I've just been camping before.
I'm Perry.

Date: 2015-07-11 04:45 am (UTC)Make sure you have the proper supplies. A well-made, sturdy tent that you can get up easily and a warm sleeping bag. Cookware designed to be used out of doors over a fire, and food designed to be preserved for several days. Remember that you'll be getting a great deal of exercise, so the food you take will need to be enough to support you through that. Don't skimp on meals.
Learn how to spot good campsites. If you set up your tent in a bad position you won't be getting any decent sleep. You're looking for flat areas with grass that's thick but not too tall. This is the sort of thing you should start looking for at least a couple hours before the sun goes down.
Don't hesitate to take breaks during the day. You're not rushing through this, and you shouldn't push yourself. You'll be straining your body enough already.
And remember, stay hydrated. Dehydration is unpleasant at the best of times, when you're trying to cover a lot of ground in a day it can be outright torture.

Date: 2015-07-11 05:44 am (UTC)Exercise doesn't bother me, but I'm not intending to go to anywhere that's too forested or hilly. I just want to get used to traveling again, because staying in one city seems... bad.
I do know about dehydration, though. I used to be on a dance team and we had problems until we started instituting mandatory water breaks.
Thank you, though. This is very comprehensive.
