How do I into learning to be an outdoorsman?

Never got into it due to my dad not being an outdoorsy guy and never having friends be outdoorsy, but it looks like fun and I've been camping a few times so I'd like to know how to really get into it.

Just get a backpack full of supplies and a tent and just go or what?

Also hunting seems like fun.

start with day hikes... then an overnighter.. then 2, 3, 7 night ... read, read, read actual books on the subject.

Read books, practice knots, sharpening, read books, watch tutorials on youtube, read books, practice buffing tinder and starting fires with just a match. Get off of here and start reading! Hope this blossoms to something more than a glorified fad, good luck. Fucking read and practice.

And then start a fire in driving rain in sub 40 F temps with one split paper match.

Bushcraft will scare him off... just read a survival guide for in the woods. For starters.. just to familiarize yourself that if shit goes wrong dont just expect your cellphone and a buck knife to save you.

Go to a local camp gear store specialist.. they usually organize hikes and give out a hand list of suggested or required equipment to bring.

Bushcraft is baby steps... The most basic of the basic dumbed down, easy to understand, fair drawings. And more importantly, easy to remember.

And, if you're stuck with just a buck knife, it's nice to know how not to cut your fingers off, and to get the knife sharp when it goes dull.

Don't listen to these guys. You don't need to "bushcraft". If you really get into outdoor stuff then sure, read all about knots and knives and eating mud.... but you don't need that to start.

Start by going to state, local, or national parks and doing a few hours of hiking. Get yourself some hiking shoes or trail running shoes. Carry a small backpack with some water, maybe an extra layer or 2 if it's chilly, and a map of the area. Just find a few small trails and go for a walk with friends. Explore the area. It's pretty fun just to hike for a few hours.

If you start to like it try car camping. Just get a tent, sleeping bag, a cooler with drinks and some food, and stay overnight somewhere. Hell even in your yard to try it out. You dont need a big knife or to start a fire with tinder and a ferro rod.... just enjoy being outside.

If you really like it, then you can start getting into buying more expensive stuff. For now, get some good shoes and hike. Stick to easy trails in areas that you won't get lost. Also take pictures and post them here.

This. Best way to get started. You dont need to study up on how to be a scandinavian trapper woodsman to begin enjoying the outdoors.
