The tent is one item which, if I stick with it, will ultimately get upgraded but budget will be a big consideration then. The tent I have is completely enclosed so bugs will not be a problem. Since I do a lot of my hiking with a 4 legged companion (a Brittany) I need a little extra floor space. But I can definitely lose some weight in that department and still have the room I need.
I am willing to pay a reasonable weight penalty for what I consider comfort. But that doesn't mean I want to ignore pack weight either. I am not going to be doing 20 mile days, probably not even 15 most of the time.
