welcome to the forum, but reading your posts, you sound to me that your trying to run before you can walk
a hiker that does not own a compass?
in all honesty I think you'd be better off cancelling the flight, and trying to find a buddy closer to home that you can have a few practise weekends with, as putting yourself out there on your own with little or no knowledge of how to go about it, is a no brainer in my book
as well as putting yourself at risk, it could end up being a drain on the rescue services that have too much to handle as it is
fill your profile in and add your location, you may well have another member from here on your doorstep, then have a one or two nights camping out, close to home or the car in case its needed, you will at least then be able to judge from experience on how much is needed, rather than reading it on a forum
