Getting older, and riddled with various pains in my back hips and legs feet and spine, rucksack camping has of necessity become a lot more lightweight for me.
Simple weight savings, such as a titanium spork instead of the usual knife fork and spoon, and a titanium pot/mug, both second hand, have made quite a bit of difference also a down bag, that goes to -10, has saved a lot of weight.
If you want a tent still, the dd superlight is an option. You can just use the outer in warm weather, and put the mesh inner in if there are bugs about, and to add a bit more warmth if needed. I have a lightweight dumo air mat, which I use with a cheap foam mat with reflective foil on one side, both to add warmth and protect the air mat.
That's as far as I've got with a lightweight set up, though I am eyeing up an osprey backpack, as they are supposed to be very lightweight.
I don't realy like to sleep out in the cold and damp, as no matter how much I protect my body it gets through and cripples me! Late spring to early autumn only for me now sadly. Usualy with a full hammock set up, which that alone, takes all the weight I can stumble along for a few yards with
Welsh mountains in November with a full pack are for the younger me, and are no longer on my itinerary!
