For many people, summer is just not summer without taking a weekend camping or hiking trip. There are some adventurers who like the challenge of multi-day big wall adventures.
Many start out learning how to mountain climb by essentially hiking up hill. If you haven't done anything physical in a while, you really should try to get in shape before taking a long hike or a backpacking trip. It is important to have a solid base providing the support your entire body needs.
Twisted ankles or sore feet are fairly guaranteed on long trips without proper footwear. Always carry a map and compass while travelling. Technology has certainly been upgraded over the years with some truly awesome camping amenities.
Get out there and unwind. The gear can run you some bucks, but the cost is nominal compared to most other sports.
