I am new to backpacking but not to camping and being in the woods. I am planing on going on a 5-7 day trip here in northern california (havent picked area yet). I am looking more of the adventure than going from point A to B. Its going to be a solo trip. My question is how is the mental side of being alone. I have always been with others. This trip is solo and want it that way. Any tips or advise is very much appreciated. thank you for taking time to help.
