I haven't backpacked in years and I doubt my spine would hold up well to a fully loaded pack anymore. I do have a lot of backpacking gear because I take motorcycle and kayak overnight trips and and the same lightweight packable gear is needed. My 2 man tent is from LL Bean and packs small. It has a full rainfly so no tarps needed. A folding chair, sleeping bag (which doubles as a backrest on the Harley), a self inflating sleeping pad, small Peak One stove (no longer made, it's 30 years old but still works fine), small packable cookware, fishing gear if I'm planning to use it. Stuff like water bottles, flashlights, are permanent items in my saddlebags and car.
My gear will vary according to the trip. I also have a large, 6 man LL Bean dome tent for multi day stays for car travels. For car trips, I still use an old fashioned Coleman 2 burner stove for cooking. I don't camp as much as I would like anymore and I'm going to try to get out a bit more this year. I do live in the Adirondacks and some might say that everyday is a camping trip. I enjoy my backyard firepit all summer.
