If you are headed out on a very long backpacking trip then weight quickly becomes a issue. The longer you stay out in the wilderness the more food you will need to carry, and you may want to consider shaving some weight from your camping gear to accommodate the weight of the food. One significant area that can save you on weight is your choice of camping tents. A great solution for a light backpacking tent would be a bivy sack; these are an actually just waterproof bag, which slip over your sleeping bag, and has a loop over the area of your head to raise the sack off your face. With easy set up and very little weight these are great alternatives to a tent when backpacking.
