<p>I have done a good deal of hiking and backpacking in the Eastern US (mostly in New England), but I recently moved to California. What are the major differences in terms of preparation or equipment that I should be packing? I am talking more about hiking in wooded areas (as opposed to deserts).</p> <p>What new challenges will I see from the terrain, wildlife, etc, and how can I prepare for it?</p>
