May I suggest that your basic tarp should be your poncho?  And forget the 
tent?  When it's buggy, you can hang your mosquito netting from the same 
hiking poles that hold up the poncho/tarp.  Lightweight!  No tent.  No 
condensation problem.  Raingear serves as tarp.  Netting weighs maybe 3 oz 
and covers your upper half, so you can just lie there on a warm night with 
your bag open to the waist, listening to the frustrated mosquitoes and 
enjoying the Milky Way!  I wish I was there right now!
