Depends on where on Southern Wisconsin you're talking about.\nIf you are talking about State parks, try renting a group site, as opposed to a family site. They are geared more toward larger groups, are usually placed in a differant area of the park away from families, you can be "a little" more unruly (a ranger who is just an "a##hole, is a probability in any park), and you have the benifit of your own bathrooms. Try contacting the Dept of Natural resources for primitive sites. Some good Parks in Southern Wisconsin  Lake Kegonsa S.P., Governor Dodge S.P., Governor Nelson S.P., Devils Lake S.P., and so on. If you dont mind going a little farther North high Cliff State Park on the Northern shore of Lake winnebage has great group sites, very rarely used, and you are most often left alone, best to rent 'em all for the weekend to be sure

Have you checked out the National Park website for the Teton's? I think it has a few day and over night hikes on it.

G'day\n\nIf you don't get an answer here, I suggest you ask in the newsgroup alt.rec.hiking, which is pretty active. If you don't have a newsgroup reader, you can access newsgroups via Google Groups.\n\nRegards\nAndrew

Your best bet is to get to know some landowners who aren't adverse to allowing a few select people to hunt their property.  Second best is to join a private hunting club - yes, they do exist and no, I'm not talking foxhunting, lol.   Prolly the worst is to hunt state land, of which there ain't much left in New York.  In the Southern Tier of the state, Connecticut Hill is very popular, and so is Sapsucker Woods - but you gotta get permission for Sapsucker Woods, and that's very hard.  Pick up a copy of the state fishing and hunting regs for clues as to where else in the state you can try your luck.  All of my hunting buddys hunt privately-owned land (with permission).  Come deer season, I'd prefer going back out West - New Mexico, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Oregon, Washington - at least I can find someplace to hunt on state or federal lands where there aren't other hunters peering over my shoulder every step I take like they are here in New York!

There are entire books devoted to tips for hiking/ backpacking (Allen & Mike's Really Cool Backpackin' Book is a favorite) so I will just focus an the 3 items you listed, food, shoes and dangers.  \n      \nFor food you don't want anything heavy (canned, ect.) or anything that takes to much fuel/time to cook.  Ramen and Lipton dinners are popular "boil and serve" options that dont cost much.  $0.10 for the ramen and less than a buck for the Lipton dinners.  You can try the link below if you want to spent a little more and buy prepackaged dehydrated meals.  Most are pricey but supprisingly good.  You want to make sure you filter and/or boil all of your water you drink AND use for cooking.  As far as eating things in the wilderness I dont recomend it.  That falls into the "If you have to ask you shouldn't put it into your mouth" catagory.  You can be a long way from a hospital in the woods.\n     \nThe terrain you  are covering and the amount your pack weigh are the 2 biggest things to consider when choosing footware.  The more your carying the more support your feet need.  Also if your hiking off trail in the wilderness you need more ankle support.  If you plan on hiking a well established trail, like the Appalachian Trail, you should be able to wear a light hiking boot made of canvas or leather and canvas.  Boots with Gore-tex have pluses and minuses.  On the plus side they are water proof but that means they dont breath as well.  Save your money if your hiking in a place that water doesn't matter.  For example, If your only crossing 1 to 2 streams a day your feet will be dryer over all by breathing without Gore-tex than if your feet were sweating all day.  Get fitted by a pro at a hiking shop and make sure to break them in before you go.  Make sure you have god socks too.  Cotton white athletic socks dont cut it.  If you are prone to blisters use a spray antiperspireant or ankle length nylons to help prevent them.  If you feel a "hot spot" on your foot while your hiking stop right away and fix it with mole skin or duct tape.  I also like to take flip flops or crocs as "camp shoes" to give my feet a break from my boots at night.\n     \nDanger depends on where you are hiking.  Wild animals want your food, not you, so you can reduce your unwanted interactions with them by not cooking by your tent, by hanging your food away from where your sleeping and by properly disposing of your scraps.  Another danger is lightining.  Stay away from ridge tops and tall trees during storms.  Speaking of tall trees you need to check for dead ones or even dead branches before you make camp.  If they come down in the night you might wake up dead.\n     \nIf you are backpacking you really want to go as light weight as you safely can.  You will be able to see more with less effort and pain.  I also highly recomend treking poles to help take the strain off of your knees and feet.\n     \nI swear I hike better than I spell.  The dag gum spell check is not working right now.  sorry.

Burrels Ford is a great area for camping and hiking this area also includes liclog falls which is one of my favorite spots. it should be right around the border between NC and SC but youd have to look it up.

I like Mt. Lowe, Strawberry peak, Jack straw trail. A good website is http://www.localhikes.com/MSA/MSA_4472.asp

Devil's head is good, but I like Cascade(5 min further) a little more. Granite Peak in Wausau is nice. They just renovated the whole place and added a bunch of runs. If you're willing to take the drive, Lutsen in Minnesota is a pretty big place, I think the largest in the midwest.\nCheck out www.goski.com  They list just about every resort in the country, as well as ones in other countries.
