Hello guys,
I was making a forest themed discord server and I need some names for level up roles. If you don't know what that means(which you probably won't because you all actually go out in nature, I need to touch some grass) I just want names of ranks such as beginner, amateur etc. roughly 5-6 but in context of hiking or forest dwelling. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks.

hi everyone! This August I will travel across the ocean and go on a 3-week vacation with a lot of hiking (no my choice lmao). I am from a city, not very experienced and I admittedly get winded a fair bit. How can I improve my stamina considering I have no way of going on hikes? I go to the gym pretty often (3-4 times a week) and I have an elliptical at home. I'm really afraid that I will slow other people down, pls help!

Is NOLS Wilderness First Aid training worth it?

I’m looking at doing it through REI and was hoping people could provide some feedback.
Any specific stories where it came in handy would be welcome.
Background: I recently got stuck by some cactus needles hiking and tripped face first into some scrubs trail running (which easily could have been cacti). Both instances made me realize upskilling from basic first aid and carrying a kit might be a good idea.
