Get out and hike! First, start on the trails and then go off-trail when you're comfortable for real adventure.
I live in the mountains and we have plenty of opportunity for hiking, camping, etc.
A suggestion: get some formal training in basic survival skills. Make sure you carry a pack with basic essentials for a couple of days EVERY time you go hiking. Also, learn some primitive (bushcraft) skills to build your own shelter, catch/cook food, start fires without a Bic lighter ... ?. The list goes on.
Oh, and RobMc doesn't like to leave his personal WWI museum often. It's in the basement of his flat. He keeps ShinyAbsol in a room down there behind the Thompson machinegun display.
