i have a suggestion on whats underneath the tent, you can carry a thick plastic like material, both light and cheap, of the size of the floor of your tent. This base layer or barrier will protect the tent from small stones or wood or any imperfection in the soil to avoid holes and scratches on your tent, and also keep your floor dry from humidity of the soil, for the tent, if you travel solo, i would buy a tent for two people anyway, you will spend long hours inside so you need some extra space to move, to keep your books, your flash light, your ipods, and so on. You need to visit a shop specialized in trekking and mountanineering and buy some middle of the line model, not too cheap but not the best of the line (designed for extreme use for alpinists people). You should find quite a few options, as for the sleeping bag, there are some every convenient models that fold into such a small package, they are great. You would also consider a base underneath, for comfort, that you put air inside by yourself in one easy step,
