Also, it would be great if you could go together and learn from someone experienced. Some things are hard to learn except from another person.
For example, you don’t want to keep your pack in your tent. Many beginners think they should, but it’s much better not to. You should leave it outside with a rain cover. Don’t keep food in your tent. Etc.

Yeah, I'm hoping to find like-minded people on the way, but am equally happy to learn myself.

In bear country keep your food nowhere near, and downwind, from your tent.

I have had small critters chew their way into my pack when I left food in it, and seen others have the same happen to their tents when they kept food in them. It’s always best to separate food and smelly items and put them in a bag hung over a branch away from critters.
