Don't be foolish. You could lose your vision in part or entirely. A partial detachment can progress to total detachment. Get it treated as soon as possible it is an emergency . one hiking trip isn't worth it.

You do not want to chance a detachment, ask anyone who has had one. Don't wait!!
Your retinal could detach and you will need a much bigger surgery and the chance of success will be less. Retinal tears (not hole or lattice) should be treated ASAP. It is a medical emergency.
Retinal detachments can lead to permanent loss of vision and surgery is not always successful. About 3.5% of surgeries result in poor vision.
