My tent is an Wenzel Lone Tree. It was cheap, and it's my favorite because I can roll it up into that stuff sack, and the rainfly goes all the way to the ground, and it has enough room inside for me, my sleeping bag, my pack...and I can sit up without bumping my head. And for those nice nights....the top is nearly entirely mesh for gazing at the stars.
I normally only carry about 32 oz of water at a time....I use aqua tabs or boil. I prefer to have it IN me, not ON me. Drinking plenty at water holes instead of carrying all that extra weight.
I normally stick to 5-6 day hikes in the 50 mile range. Any longer than that requires a resupply stop.
