It is highly essential that you bring extra clothing.Many things can happen when you are out camping, including your clothes getting wet. If they do you risk getting seriously ill. If cotton gets wet it draws heat from your body. If you are wearing cotton, and it gets wet, take it off immediately and put something dry on.I would recommend to wear wool or synthetic fleece. Extra socks are great for keeping the warmth in. Since we lose an enormous amount of heat from the top of our heads,it is advisable to wear a wolly cap. Make sure you have rain gear in your backpack regardless of the weather forecast, as they are never 100% correct.

It is very important to drink plenty of water while you are out hiking. You should be drinking at least 6 liters of water per day. This may seem a lot however if it's sunny you will get dehydrated very quickly due the the excercise and heat. You can either carry water in your backpack or bring a water filter or water tablets that purify the water for you do drink. Small water filters are available that are very easy to carry along in your backpack.

Always bring to much food. You never know how long you may be spending more time out there than you had planned to. You need to be prepared for the worst case, this way you will keep youself safe.

Don't forget to pack some waterproof matches as well as some kindling or other means to start your fire. On a cold night keeping warm is essential so do not take your gear for granted.

Plan your hiking or camping trip very carefully. Plan each set of meals for each day. Always be prepared for the worst. Never leave without a compass and a map. Bring a whistle. You need to bring a flashlight, or a camping lantern, but just make sure bring extra batteries or fuel. Don't forget about sunscreen, add it to your emergency kit.
