How I did it: I live in Montana.  I love to camp.  There are millions and millions of acres of national forests, national parks, Wilderness areas, and federal lands just waiting to be explored in Montana.  Get out and into 'em.

Lessons & tips: Make a packing list, get some food, put it all in your pack and hit the trail. 

Resources: I'm an ultralight backpacker, meaning I carry minimal gear and lightweight stuff to keep my pack weight down.  I learned a lot about doing this at backpackinglight.com
