Read all the threads in the catalog. Then come back and ask more detailed questions. It really does begin with just going outside. Then overnight once you're comfortable with outside (tent/hammock/tarp, metal container, knife, lighter, cordage, food). You'll figure out what you need vs what you don't need pretty quickly. It would also help us help you if we knew where on the globe you are.

Missed that sentence on first read. Okay, so follow the remainder of my points and you'll be on the right path. Being /out/ isn't difficult, you just... go.

Atleast he's inspired
Go and do it, just don't jump in head first. Start with some hiking, find good boots, jacket, pants, etc. Till your comfortable. Then get a sleeping bag, tent, hammock, pack, whatever floats your boat, and take it out for a night not too far out. Just take some baby steps and it'll all come rather natural
It's not even an outdoors game.
Anyway, go outdoors. You're now an outdoors man. A noob, but still /out/

It's not that outlandish of an idea. I started getting into learning survival techniques after I played Metal Gear Solid 3 on the PS2. Years later, I can't get enough camping/hiking/bushcrafting to keep me satisfied. If that's what inspires someone to get /out/, then it's worth encouraging.

"raiding" a slow board
kek faggot
OP I'm also in the south east of England (just about... Pompey). I get most of my adventuring by owning a boat. also settles my /diy/ lust nicely.
Tbh just find places to go walking. Maybe pick up an outdoor hobby that encourages you to be outside experiencing it (like fishing).
