Copying and pasting from a previous reply I made in a similar thread:

I'm still partially sighted (albeit what sight I have is awful) and my husband is actually preparing for this. Started going blind a little over two months ago, and that man's already carving me a sturdy wooden cane for hills and whatnot. I just started with the cane so my skills aren't great, though.

My advice as an avid hiker and camper before all this started: use your cane to map the area around the tent, including the fire pit and how to get to the designated bathroom area/outhouse/portapotty.

Have someone you implicitly trust to lead you in the woods-- there is a LOT of shit you can trip over, and Mother Nature just loves to drop more in a dedicated, previously clear path to trip you up.

Have a way to communicate with whomever is leading you in case you get separated: phone, sat phone, telepathy, or just more cowbell.

Bring an extra cane that is sturdy the won't just snap or easily get hung in underbrush or brambles.

Wear something durable on your arms, because if you do get hit by brambles (they're EVERYWHERE where I live) or poison ivy, your sleeve gets hit/tore up instead of you.

Wear a hat!!! Ticks are bad, but they're pretty bad this year, just like last year! Also, have the person with you check you over for them, and check your privates carefully in the shower! I found one on my outer labia the other day during a routine check. They're sneaky bastards!

Last two but not least, and these go hand in hand: carry your own day or two supply of food and water while hiking, and in the very unlikely event your guide croaks and you are now lost, SIT DOWN AND STAY PUT. Know what trail head you started at so you can tell someone if your phone has service. Yell, call out, and conserve your phone's battery. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR SPOT. If you have to move for whatever reason, LEAVE A TRAIL. By a trail, I mean ignore the rule of "leave nothing behind." Now is the time to be a litter bug. Leave any food wrappers, scraps of cloth, or whatever, so someone knows you were there and can find you. And KEEP YELLING.

I hope this helps, my husband and kids and I will be experiencing my first summer of blind hiking and camping. Have fun, but always be safe!

Edit: Nix the yelling, GET A WHISTLE. Takes a lot less energy to blow a whistle than it takes to yell. Good luck!

I use a trekking pole (or two) in the woods instead of a white cane because it's sturdy and has a sharper tip on the end that I can dig into the ground and put weight on it if I need it for support/to keep from slipping. I also wear a wide brim hat to give a little warning of any low-hanging branches at head height. Good, non-slip hiking boots with lots of ankle support are even more important when you can't see your footing.

My best advice is to get a pair of trek pokes. They’re s lit easier to use than your cane in rough terrain. Don’t do sighted guide hiking unless you’re crossing a river or something like that; they mean well but your sighted friends will not remember what you need help with and everyone will get hurt.

Buy yourself some trekking poles. They are sturdy and give you enough tactile information to navigate independently. I hold it in sort of a pencil grip and explore the ground immediately in front of me for my next step. You won’t need to fully extend it unless you want to know what rocks and tree roots are 3 or 4 steps away. I don’t like using sighted guide on hiking trails, because the ground can be so uneven and not having some sort of cane makes me feel even more blind.

I've always used a stick that is just a little bit taller than me with one of the rubber stoppers on the bottom and a sided guide. This stick helps you identify steps and anything that may be at head or eye level. Also having a sided guide is super helpful but you can use the stick on your own if need be.

It's an ambutech wheel tip. There is no name on it except ambutech. It is white and about two and a half inches across and less than and inch thick. It is heavier some it tends to stay on the surface.

I use rubber-tipped hiking poles and have someone ahead of me call out major features, especially narrow portions. I’ve been experimenting with mounting a miniguide brand sonar radar on my hat to detect branches. I have one I’m borrowing from a mobility school and the battery is low, so can’t give a full report on that yet.
For steep downhill or boulder terrain, it works for me to hand off my hiking poles and hold the backpack of the person in front of me. Then I can feel every step they take.
For mountains, I plan more time for the downhill than the uphill as it’s always easier and safer to go up than down.
Someone on Youtube recommends the Rambletag for hiking which is an armband with a handle that you can put on a sighted guide for some types of hiking. I’ve never tried it, but it seems like it would be similar to holding on to a backpack, though with less input since you only hold with one hand.
I find that the concentration needs to be high for hiking for both you and the person in front of you who may be warning of big steps and roots or side drop-offs, so remember to stop for a bite of food and drink more often than you think you need it. Easier to make a mistake once the blood sugar or hydration starts to diminish.
I have also been using the high-mileage rolling ball tip on my cane for some terrain. It’s about the size of a softball and I find it works alright in sand and some dirt and gravel paths. For an even path, I generally prefer it to hiking poles as I can go pretty fast with it.

Hiking requires concentration on where you are stepping. Sighted guide is not recommended because the guide needs to be looking where he is stepping. You can follow them, and use yor cane and hiking pole; or two poles to check out the path and take steps where you feel more secure The path that your guide and you take will be completely different, even if the guide is walking right in front of you..

I asked this question a couple months ago and got the very good advice to try trekking poles. It took a little practice and getting used to, as they're different from using a cane, but much better than a fragile cane in a rough environment and give you the added benefit of extra stability on uneven ground etc. I just recently got back from an about two week long hike of a large portion of the Superior hiking trail and it was incredibly fun.

Hopefully you'll go with someone who will look out for low branches. I went with my dad and brothers and they were great, but I did get snagged in the face by branches a couple times. I wear glasses even though I only have a small amount of vision in one eye, but that definitely helps if you get stabbed in the face with a branch.

You can use flagging tape on branches. I would wear safety glasses for the branches. I have an ambutech cane with a wheel tip that rolls over the roots.
