I have hit a point in my life where I just want to experience the great /out/doors and conquer nature.

I have enlisted some life long companions and we have decided to journey 130 miles in 7 days through the wilderness to the very top of a mountain. We will walk the entire way and camp out during the night. I am incharge of the pre-adventure planning so I figured that /out/ should be the first place I stop to ask for tips and gear recommendations.

I have never camped more than a day in my life, but for some reason I feel a fire in my soul that compels me to take on this challenge. Something inside just makes me want to push myself and try to fight nature.
