First time backpacker here - planning solo and trips with friends…2 nights max. I was gifted a Big Agnes sleeping bag. Looking to buy a Rumpl as well as it gets awfully cold at night here in the Northeast USA. Going to REI to get fitted for a bag once I have all of my gear.

Looking for a suggestion for an ultralight 2 person 3 season double wall tent. Possibly 1P since I’m child-sized lol (mostly looking for 2P in case I bring one of my kiddos in the future or a friend).

I’m very petite (5’1” 105lbs) so lighter is better for me.

Also looking for suggestions for sleeping pads & pillows. I have a herniated disc and some minor bulging discs in my neck. Sleeping wrong will nearly cripple me the next day so that is my only anxiety about backpacking. Looking at Nemo tensor or an inflatable. Higher R value. I’m worried about the foam pads because of comfort. But I suppose a decent pillow could help that?

Any other help and tips are appreciated. I’m overwhelmed by Reddit posts, YouTubers, Facebook groups. So. Much. Different. Information. I’d like to see what the majority votes are for these.
