About to take a buddy on his first camping trip, are there any things that I should keep in mind first time? (self.outdoors)

As the title says, one of my friends wants to go on a backpacking trip with me. Usually I like to be very spontaneous and sorta "rough it", which would definitely not be good for the guy. I planned out a nice flat-ish 30 km route for us where we can watch the sunrise and the sunset from an overlook. What are some things that I should do in order to make his first trip a little better?

I definitely am one of these masochists. If it doesn't hurt at the end then it doesn't feel like a completed hike or workout. Ill take note of this and put the lighter stuff into his bag. Thanks for the suggestions!
