You have learned all that you need to learn on this path, grasshopper; it is time to seek a new path, with new obstacles and new delights.

IIRC, you live in a fairly rural setting, have an active emergency services job, and a wide range of expertise in subsistence technology, outdoor living and survival: you get more outdoor lifestyle on Tuesday than many folks do in a year. It is clearly okay for you to move on to another activity, or simply stop camping until the universe calls you to your next passion.
