5 Tips for Tripping Outdoors

If you’re prepared to pack your backpack and venture out on a safe and enriching journey, here are five indispensable tips for hiking while under the influence of mushrooms.

If you’re hiking, create a plan for the route you’ll take. If you’re camping, make a plan for the activities you want to participate in at the campsite. However, if your plan is to simply frolic and explore nature without any clear objective, that’s perfectly fine too! Make sure that you are in a positive mindset, that’s the most important thing when ongoing on a psychedelic expedition.
3. Don’t Get Lost
If you are hiking it’s most likely you will come across interesting natural formations or captivating flora that you feel drawn to explore. Going off the designated trail can increase the distance between you and familiar surroundings, potentially leading to the danger of becoming lost. The captivating allure of nature, combined with the psychedelic effects of psilocybin, can easily disrupt your sense of time and space. Therefore, when hiking, it is important to stick to the designated path, and when walking around the campsite, make sure you maintain visibility of it at all times. It is possible to become lost even without any outside influence, so it’s best to always keep a mental note of how to retrace your steps and return to safety.
4. Bring Everything You Need for a Comfortable Experience.

For example, you might want to bring a cozy hammock to relax in or perhaps a playlist of your favorite music and earbuds, or even a blanket if you want to lay on the ground.
5. Consider the Time of Day
The time of day can have a big impact on your trip, so consider when you plan to trip carefully. Some prefer to trip during the daytime so that they can enjoy the beauty of nature under the sunlight, while others may prefer to trip at night, laying on the ground gazing at the stars and endless universe.
Remember to Take Your Time and Relax
Taking magic mushrooms in nature can be overwhelming, not necessarily in a bad way but it can affect your ability to perform important tasks. For this reason, it’s advised to take a day off after your trip and relax, take the time for yourself and. reflect on the insights you have gained from the psychedelic experience. Your mind needs time to rest and process things in a broader context. Once you’ve taken that time, you can fully savor all the novel experiences, insights, and memories that your journey brought you. Stay safe and enjoy the trip!
