If it says 4, it actually means it fits 2-3 comfortably.

Put this under your sleeping bag for a more comfortable sleep. Make sure you know how to inflate it if you haven't done it before. Get a battery powered pump if you want to go the easy route.
Sleeping Pads - NEMO Equipment

Very comfortable, and comes with a nice storage bag. Make sure yours is rated for the weather.

Spray this on your tent, clothing, and anything else that isn't your skin for great protection.

Anything by this brand is well worth the money. Their products are well designed and very lightweight. I'm eyeing the portable fire pit and grill.

Charge them on your pack while you're hiking during the day, and they'll look great inside your tent or at the campsite.

I like the memory foam pillows instead of the inflatable ones. They're worth the weight for me, but that's just a personal preference.

There are different styles of sleeping bags, and some of them even zip together if you want to cozy up.

Clothing

What to wear for the heat and when it cools down at night. Layers and a rain jacket will always help.

My favorite sun shirts. They're so lightweight, and they're great if you don't want to slather on sunscreen just to smell like sweat AND sunscreen.

I love Athleta clothing because it's well made and can withstand a lot of wear/washing without looking like it. They have some great options for hiking pants that are very comfortable.
