Hi guys,

I looooove to walk so the next step (hiking) is a no-brainer.

Living in Australia there are many places to go for long hikes and gain experiences before I hop on the plane to the US for the Appalachian Trail.

At this stage I am planning my first longer hike here in Australia and the more you get away from the coast and to the outback the hotter the days and the colder the nights (desert like). I am not sure how you guys are dealing with that in terms of hiking gear? Obviously I do not want to hike carrying too much weight, but I also do not want to freeze to death at night.

Any suggestions?
