I am (very) new to bushwalking and am thinking about doing the Overland Track at the end of February. Ok its a little ambitous for my first multi day walk but you have to start somewhere!
1. How is the weather going to be in February?
2. What type of sleeping bag will we need in that weather?
3. I'm guessing we need to get waterproof jackets and pants. Any specific recommendations?
4. What are the other options besides freeze dried food for lunch and dinner?
5. Do you need more than the available maps for navigation? Is GPS recommended?
Very naive questions I'm sure---- but figure if I do the research and am properly prepared, then the trip will be doable...
Thanks so much!
