Sounds like you've got a good plan of attack. Getting in shape and collecting the gear, for sure the first step. Also getting out and hiking, no better way than that. Next you might want to start hiking more often, and for longer hikes. It would probably be good to go with more different people also, to learn how different folks have their system. You can add things like foraging, fishing, or even hunting, which will make you more connected with the activity, and of course it is always nice to come home with something to eat. After that you'll likely want some alternate gear, maybe even make some of your own. Hmmm, maybe you should push the trip back to 2019, since it would really be nice to try different systems in different seasons. That way your gear and your skills will be more well rounded and prepared for whatever the weather brings. Hopefully you're feeling stronger and more skilled by now, it feels good to increase the limits of what is possible. Perhaps you can offer to be an assistant scout master in your local troop. No better way to learn than to teach. Gosh, might need to push the trip back a bit further. By now you will hopefully be finding your true physical limitations, nothing like nature to humble us. Soon this will lead to the inevitable confronting of your own mortality, and the inescapable decay of our bodies as we age. You may not be able to go as far or as fast as you could a few years ago, but finding the edge of the possible is still grand. By the time your twilight years bring you face to face with the end, you should be able to look back and see that all you needed to get started was to take that first step. Welcome hiking friend.
