Day pack with water bladder, snacks. Binoculars to actually use.

Even pick up a hunting proclamation for big game. Game wardens are state law enforcement and can question you. You question them.

Not at the point where water gathers but slightly above. This is how I became obsessed with topping and supercropping. Good luck.

What is topping?

pinching out the top growth point on the main stem to get the plant to branch out more. lot of people do it two or three times, top once, let it grow 3 or 4 more nodes, top it again, get a ton of bud sites that way, but they'll all be a little smaller, you don't get the one huge cola that way.
overall yield is improved, usually a good bit, though

If you are going autos forget topping.

at least until you get to know the strain. some will take it and some won't. if they seem to have a decent veg time before they flower, i'd try it, if they seem to throw themselves into flower quickly, probly not a good idea

I ordered some regs and some fems, trying to stack up a seed bank so I don’t keep dealing with the mail (paranoid).
So topping would put you in the mind of peeling a banana? Bending the branches?
And have you heard of any food spikes my hike is to far to haul soil

no, bending is lst or low stress training. if you actually crush the stem inside the bark, with minimal damage to the bark, so the plant lays over on its own, it's supercropping. it will help you maintain an even canopy, and where you bend it, it'll get a big knot and will support more growth above the knot. this is topping
you actually wouldn't cut those side leaves they have the line through, just the center leaves. if you take the whole tip, it's topping. you'll get a stronger effect from it, but it can slow down growth for a week or so. many people "FIM" which is basically the same thing, but you leave about half of the growth tip instead of cutting it off clean. you don't get as strong an effect from fimming, but it doesn't slow the plant down nearly as much.

OP, if you have planted pines in your part of the world, they do well for growing. 15-20 foot trees are best, but I have grown in new fields of pine seedlings if the weeds were tall enough. {Also in full grown trees after they have been thinned. Much harder finding spots with good sun}
Just find skips in the rows of trees and put a plant in a skip. Spread them out over a big area. Make your trails under trees if possible. They show up really good from the air. In fact you can use Google maps to scope out trails. In my part of the world, if an old 3 trail road has white sand showing, that means it gets drove on enough to keep the grass and weeds knocked down.
You also need to plan on sourcing your water. Creeks are good, but everyone knows that. Cops and rippers included. I use a lot of raincatchers, as most of my patches are landlocked. But they are only cool if you are pretty sure no one else is going to come around. But you can hide small ones in thick brush. I had to take down my collector tarp, as it is raining everyday here.
