The MSR Hubba 2 person tent is a really nice one that is rated very high by several people. Little over 200 i think. You dont need to buy the footprint just get a tarp or something to put under it. Bring food and a stove maybe. Just whatever.
Think "Weight" – small " geodome style tent ( that can freestand – staking in rocky terrain is a challenge) – quite a few these days to choose from.
Good quality frame backpack- I always liked the external frames myself.
Rain parka that can cover you and the pack while hiking. Quality Holofil or similar ( man-made) sleeping bag – still insulates when wet unlike down. (make sure it has double zipper guards and check that the stitching doesn’t go through the inside layer- causes heat loss)
Primus Lp camp stove – numerous models to look at ( see link).
Lightweight camp stove/utensil kit.
First Aid kit
Emergency flares – I like the self contained units.
Survival pocket blanket – can do a lot of things with this and it’s really lightweight.
Small roll of Duct tape.
Matches sealed from water – numerous small packs.
Leatherman tool.
Carrying all your gear into the woods and camping is usually referred to as "backpacking", rather than what people usually mean by camping, which is car-camping.
And for backpacking, like you’ve surmised, carrying lightweight gear is optimal. To that end, many people have switched from "traditional" backpacking, which is carrying as much bomb-proof boy scout/military gear as possible, to going "ultralight", which means carrying only the gear you find absolutely necessary and the lightest versions possible to survive the conditions you expect to encounter. If you’re used to traditional backpacking but are thinking of going lighter, a good introduction to the latest techniques, innovations, and gear is Dan Ladigin’s book, "Lighten Up" http://www.amazon.com/Lighten-Up-Complete-Ultralight-Backpacking/dp/0762737344/sr=8-1/qid=1168796878/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-0601339-3354515?ie=UTF8&s=books
If you’re not ready for ultralight camping under a tarp, a lightweight tent is an alternative. For 2-3 persons I wouldn’t buy anything that weighed much over 4 pounds, which could then be split between two or three people to carry: poles, fly, tent body, stakes, and ground sheet. Here are some top quality tents under 4 lbs:

all weather toilet paper
Any tent at your local Wal Mart that folds into a pack would work great as for supplies you will need a case of beer,a 12 guage shotgun,alot of shells,some hot dogs or something to eat, and tiolet paper, and something to start a fire
