Start with a small trips, and each time go for a bit longer.
You need experience and you only get that by doing.
In the hospital waiting for results to see if I was having a heart attack.
Luckily it was not the case.
Just did a fire in the back yard with the little one and brother in-law.
Convinced my brother in-law to get his ham radio license after picking up a couple satellites going over head.
Where abouts are you located would be a good start.
My favorite stores in British Columbia are https://vpo.ca/
For boiling water ilfast it's hard to beat the jetboil system but you can get other cheaper systems that work almost as well and I find a bit more versatile for cooking and a whole lot lighter.
But my favorite is my trangia stove, it's not the most efficient, quickest or lightest. But I think it's the most versatile, you can fry some Bacon, make two different soups and boil water without having to wash in between.
Also it's cool factor is 11/10
