Many people consider that hiking is just another form of exercise. There are different techniques required for climbing in ice covered terrain and it s much different than climbing in dry terrain.
Because camping gear is a little bit less specialized, you would expect it to be easier to pick out. If you are camping in summer you will need a completely different type of tend than if you were camping in the rainy season. Make sure that you have a good first aid kit too.
There are some sport-wool fabrics that are used in long johns, next a warm layer of clothing that may be a fleece type material and finally a quick-drying outer layer from a material like nylon or goretex. Your first aid kit should contain essentials to tide you over in any case of any injury or illness, whether it is a cuts and bruises or stomach-aches and headaches. Lightweight waterproof jackets and pants are good items for protection against rain and wind.
So always be prepared and try to get into shape before you take on to big of a trail. Read a good book with the wind whispering through the leaves.
