This 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.

I had no idea there was a wrong way to camp...

The only way you're going to get used to something is by doing it.

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

Oh? You finally want to go camping?

Take a tent, a comfy sleeping bag, dry food... well, things like clothes lines, clothing pins... oh, there's a lot! I'll write it down and send it to you, okay?

Take a lot of protein-heavy food.

Even if the calendar claims to have perfect weather for the duration of your camping trip, always prepare for rain.

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.

Sorry for giving you advice without properly introducing myself; I've just been camping before.

Camping can be a very unique experience, but if you aren't prepared for it you're just going to make yourself miserable. Let's start with the basics.

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.
