To pack or not to pack?

Hiking here in Arizona, I have found really different then the areas im use to, the northwest and the south. I have no proplems with the heat and spend a lot of time outdoors. but I find myself carrying a lot more gear then I ever did before. it just seems to me that there are lots more ways to get in to trouble here and therefor "to be on the safe side" more grear is needed.
so heres the question.. for an 8 mile hike.
do you plan for the worst? take everything you might need if you get hurt or cought out over night or
do you take your mule and a peanutbutter sandwhich and call it good?
the reason I ask is because I think I may be over working my self always planing for the worst. I have been doing all my hiking alone so I may be getting a little parinoid?
dont know.
