The things that you need for the long hike
Make sure that you have enough rations for the trip. If you think you are going to run out then you need to identify a place in advance where you can buy new provisions. You will need a tent and sleeping bag for the nightfall. Make sure that the items you select are right for the weather that you expect along the way. If you take something flimsy for the winter then you will pay a heavy price. A stove is useful for making meals and also keeping you warm on cold nights.
Make sure that you are prepared for the physical rigours of the trip. You will need to undergo some conditioning in recognition of the fact that you will be on the move for long periods of time. Step up your cardio exercise to ensure that your heart is prepared to take the strain.
