Your camping trip sometimes may end up being a total write-off for the simplest reason. There is nothing that you will find that is like the adventures of camping.
Yes, blisters are a discomfort but poor quality boots can cause problems far worse. I'm one of those people who believe that if more people spent more time in nature, we would have many fewer problems in this world. Cotton does not dry quickly and retains the water against your skin causing you to become even colder with the added risk of hypothermia developing, so don't wear it on damp days.
Some extra food and water is just as important so stock up before you leave and replenish your stock at every point of civilization. You will also want to take some time and research things like stoves and lamps before beginning camping. You can enquire about possible locations for rock climbing from others who do it.
Matches will be needed to light a fire if you are planning on camping out on your hiking trip or if you get lost. The couple next door to our site had a huge tarpaulin set up and lashed to the trees. Some lanterns are designed so that mosquitoes and other insects are instantly repelled instead of being attracted to the light source.
Now go and spend some time hiking in nature. Map and compass are a good idea of course, and tell someone where you'll be.
