What way to experience nature better than from its gifts? Smoking the right kind of weed will intensify your outdoor experience, perhaps give you a more vivid look into the stars and a deeper appreciation of the universe. You can smell the forest better and even find music in the sound of the lake nearby.

With that in mind, you might want to throw in a small amount of Critical Mass into your pipe. You might also want to try the Redwood Kush with its pine-like, herbal smell, this strain will level up your experience with mother nature for it will give you feelings of peace, ease, and bliss. However, it is not recommended to be used in broad daylight because it’s sedative effects will not let you get anything done so it is best for night time use.

1. Preparation is key

Pre-roll your joints before leaving the house for the day then do the same for the next day before calling it a night. This will keep smoking convenient in the long walk.

2. Proper storage

Store your joints in a hard case to protect it. If you prefer to use pipes, there are storage tubes for your buds that you can buy online but what you have to consider is that it’s solid and airtight. Avoid storing in sandwich bags because it will break your stash apart.

3. Select your cup of tea

  • Joints
    • Upside: Portable and Lightweight
    • Downside: Hard to lit in the wind, you have to pack the roaches
  • Vaporizer
    • Upside: No lighter required and discreet, easy to hit while you are hiking
    • Downside: You need a gas powered vaporizer to make sure you don’t run out of batteries
  • Pipes
    • Upside: Easy to put out and share
    • Downside: They are breakable, hard to hit while walking
  • Travel Water Pipes
    • Upside: Provides more filtration of smoke

Downside: Can take up space and not always discreet.

4. Smoke responsibly

Know the laws of the area you are visiting because some can cite you for using marijuana. Also, leave no traces behind. If you don’t want to start a forest fire, pick up after your roach.

5. Smoke respectfully

Just like cigarettes, not everyone likes smoking weed so try to be discreet and practice proper etiquette.

6. Bring extra water

Cannabis can dehydrate you so make sure to bring more water than you would on a normal hike if you plan to partner the trip with cannabis.
