Nice to hear that you are looking to try something new and get into hiking and camping. As much as I have have increased my hobbies since the bomb there are always more fun things to do and experience in this amazing world.
Just saw the movie Wild and although I read the book a few years ago I was really moved by the movie too.
It is very demoralizing being endless vilified by someone and I totally get your new mind frame. Not being afraid and replying when you feel like replying. I personally can only ignore ignore and ignore for so long before the outrageous and often humorous comments need reply.
