and i was going to suggest taking a sense of humour .even the life threatening moments can have a funny side . campsite is easy and made for the urban so dont worry .
.
::. train for wilderness , it will kill you if you make mistakes . attitude and knowlege is more important than kit .common sense is rare but it is what is needed in any new environment . try to anticipate real problems , dont imagine unreal problems to be real ,or that maybe is soon ,when the world jumps up and attempts to kill you try to dodge and adapt . travel light and fast ,every bit of kit should be multi use , if you stay put collect useful things .
it will be the doctor who rips your leg open with his crampons as he falls past you , he was ok .
be composed and remember what you know when living in the world without .
keep things dry and take care of your feet .

Should we make this into an article, what with summer coming up and everything? I'll have a bash at it later this week unless anyone else wants to.
