I'm taking a friend on his first overnight hike, and I thought I'd share some of the things I'm doing to make sure his first hike is a safe and enjoyable one (for both of us).
1) Set reasonable goals and expectation
2) Choose an easy hike with a variety of terrain and scenery
3) Focus special attention on key gear like sleeping system, the tent, the pack and footwear
4) Remind them that backcountry life is not the same as at home
5) Take care of the little details
6) Communicate, communicate, communicate
7) Ask another experienced hiker to join the group
Above all else, have fun.
