You'll need warm clothing and I suggest using a layering style of clothing starting with a good base layer i.e polyprop underwear or wool. A middle layer be it one good polar fleece or 2 mid weight polar fleece jumpers. Your outer layer or shell normally consists of a good rain coat or jacket that will repel rain and wind. A warm beanie/hat (ideally wool or fleece) and gloves/mittens are essential. I would suggest a good sleeping bag minus 10degrees or better with a sleeping bag liner (if available). A good sleeping pad (or 2 if your a cold sleeper). Depending on numbers we will either rent the tent and cooking equipment, I can personally only help limited numbers in my tent. What snow equipment we need we can rent for a limited cost down in the Snowy mountains. With registration of interest I will provide a list of equipment needed and am more than happy to advise anyone on equipment. Thanks for asking dude.

	Hi Nathan, What kind of equipment would one need to hike ? Sounds like an exciting adventure.
