Hey r/ultralight!

I'm trying to upgrade my hiking / trekking game by going light and camping in nature. I have quite some experience hiking and touring, however those were either one-day trips or overnight stays in mountain cabins. Therefore, I lack some of the ligther gear, as well as the camping equipment (and experience). I have also not used trekking poles to date, but am open to use them, especially as they can be a part of your shelter.

So I am looking for a combined shakedown and purchase advice.

I live in central Europe, so I would prefer if recommended items are available in Europe.

Current base weight: 4.88 kg

Location/temp range/specific trip description: To start, I am planning two-day trips in the Alps during summer. Mostly longer ridge walks I wanted to do anyway. So I am calculating with temperatures around -5 °C during the night.

Budget: ~1500 €

Non-negotiable Items: My long hiking pants (sadly they are not waterproof). Hiking in Rocky and shrubby terrain has always sucked for me when wearing shorts. Also the binoculars.

Solo or with another person?: It would be either solo or with my partner / my mate, no kids, additional adults have to bring their own stuff.

Additional Information:

Tents I have looked at:

• Hilleberg Nallo 2
• MSR Freelite 2
• MSR Access 2
• MSR Advance Pro 2

I am generally open to Tarps, although then I'll probably be solo...

Concerning sleeping bags, I only own a very light one for cabins that will not be sufficient for outdoor camping. I have considered these:

• https://cumulus.equipment/intl_de/daunenschlafsacke-x-lite-400.html I would probably need the large Version, as I am 1.85 m tall. Or do the two centimeters not matter?
• https://cumulus.equipment/intl_de/daunenschlafsacke-panyam-450.html As the alternative, cheaper but also heavier (Not that the 200 g matter much for me, but I am an optimizer).

Furthermore, I have a question concerning humidity and condensation concerning down: Can you recommend hydrophobic down, or is the benefit negligible?

Lighterpack Link: https://lighterpack.com/r/xfzp55 I created this list based on the Shoestring guide I found in this reddit, so feel free to roast poor choices.

EDIT: I should probably mention that items with stars are things I already possess.
