I did my first solo overnight in Tennessee’s Mississippi Delta country woodlands when I was 4 years old. We moved soon after and continued to move around the country every couple years. I settled out west on my own eventually so don’t remember the fine details of the east.

If you ever get the chance check out southern Utah. There are a plethora of 5+ day backpacking opportunities that will blow your mind. The Four Corners and generally the entire Southwest is sublime.
