When it comes to shaving ounces I prefer a bivvy bag to a one-person 
tent. But I prefer a Hennessy Hammock to either, if you have trees to 
suspend it from. With the hamock you can dispense with your ground pad, 
too. My summer kayak camping is done with a 3.5 lb hammock (large deluxe 
model) and a tiny 1-2lb REI sleeping bag. If you're shorter than I am 
you can get that hammock weight down under 2 lbs.
