2. Gregory Z35 £90
The Z35 is a versatile, mid volume pack with an Air-tech back system for a comfortable and stable carry. The pack uses Gregory's JetstreamTM DTS technology so that weight is transferred through the hip belt more efficiently. The Z35 is also very roomy for its 35 litre capacity, and this combined with lots of external stowing options, it can easily carry enough gear for a weekends worth of adventure, or even longer for real minimalist backpackers.

3. Hilleberg Akto Tent £270
While heavier than a bivy bag, the Hilleberg Akto offers a lot more space, and it's vestibule easily accommodates all your gear. Yet it still stuffs down to a package that easily fits into a pack's side pocket and its single-pole, tunnel design sheds wind, snow and rain with no problem.
Pitching the Akto is very simple: Insert the pole into the pole sleeve, place the end into the pole tensioner, then peg the corners and the guy lines on each end. Fibreglass rods in the corners of the outer tent provide extra height, eliminating the claustrophobia that many solo tents engender. In windier conditions, the side guy lines ensure stability.
Top quality lightweight 4 season backpacking tent. Probably the best lightweight, 1-2 person tent on the market today.
