It's the towpath of a canal that was operational from 1831 to 1924, and there's lots of historical sites along it from those periods, obviously! I would probably just be doing a generic 19th/early 20th century countrywoman outfit, tbh, and not go for anything too specific or punctiliously accurate, no hoop skirts or bustles - but long skirts and bloomers and linen and wool are great for hiking in, as long as you don't have to scramble.
Both the stoves I might take are more-or-less in period for the later part, and I have some canteens that are really mid-century Boy Scout but would look close enough! And the food I'd bring would probably be, like, oatmeal and dried fruit sorts of things anyway, that's always been just as easy as prepackaged camping food. My sleeping gear wouldn't be, though, because nope too heavy. And I'd have to think hard about how hard I cared about a matching pack!
(Someday I wanna walk from here to Pennsic War in full SCA-period medieval garb, though, but that's after I no longer have to have a job...)
