Spring is in full bloom and we all need to get out there. Indeed, recently outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds gathered at the Boston Outdoor Expo to check out the latest gear, tech and overall advice for hiking, biking and camping, and to hear relevant speakers on important topics like “Leave No Trace,” the principle of minimizing human impact when visiting precious outdoor spaces. Inspired, I decided to learn even more about how to have my own wilderness-immersion experience.
