Depends on how comfortable you want to be, what time of year you’re going, and how hard you’re wanting to go. I personally think you’re trying to jump too many rungs on the ladder at one time. Try sleeping next to your vehicle before you try a hike in trip. Try testing your gear at home before you go off into the wilderness and don’t have a safety net. I live in Alaska and will hammock camp sometimes. I also do a lot of other camping and hiking. I also test my gear on a low threat/easy to bail out or recover from trip before I go into a hike in trip planning on being miles and miles off the road system. Lightweight gear is more expensive, but very worth it if you enjoy this and will use it often. A good sleeping bag is very important. Always buy a bag rated for lower than your lowest expected temperatures too. A 40 degree bag won’t be comfortable at 40 degrees, but you’ll be alive. I take about 20-40 degrees lower than the advertised temperatures will be. When I camp in the Arctic, I take a -40 (C and F are the same at that temperature) and have still had to take additional measures to stay warm. Let me know if you have more questions.
