I have been using a USGI bivy.

It is just a waterproof shell that my bag and pad can fit into. I have not used it in rain yet. I also carry a tarp I use along with a bug net if needed. Only gripe with the usgi bivy is that the zipper is on the opposite side from my sleeping bag, so that makes things a bit complicated at night when getting out for a pee.

/u/Travmhid gave some pretty good advice. Tarp and hammock isn't a bad rig. 3 season sleeping bag is a tough haul though, and a tarp + hammock is going to take up the same amount of space as a 2man if it's inside your pack.

If you're still making money, I highly recommend a Army Bivy Cover: https://www.amazon.com/Woodland-Camouflage-Waterproof-Bivy-Cover/dp/B008JXV2PM They are pretty expensive, but you can sometimes find them at surplus stores for 30-40 bucks. Very light, smaller than a tarp, and they'll keep you dry. They have a condensation problem, but once you get used to them, they're great.

Bivy, sleeping pad, and wool blanket are what I used to use. The camping pads are good, but a little inflexible. Try to get egg crate foam instead. Being able to just roll everything up when you crawl out of bed, and your sleeping gear always being in a waterproof container is a major time saver. Plus you don't have to worry about creepy crawlies at night. (Less of an issue on the east coast than in the desert.) Hammocks are nice, but unless you have an underquilt they get really cold even on moderately warm nights. You'll also wake up to go to the bathroom less in the middle of the night.

Sleeping aside, you should really look at what's in your pack that you don't need. Hucksta posted his kit a while back, and it's pretty spartan. Remember, you'll be spending most of your time within walking distance of a city unless you're train hopping. You don't need a water filter, shit tons of rope, full kitchen set, etc. Rain gear, sleep system, multitool, few lighters, fork, can opener, basic first aid, sharpie, smartphone, flashlight, hygiene. Anything else is dead weight, or only provides comfort/convenience.

I'm at work so I don't have photos of my stuff. But here is the list of the basics. The stuff below, plus food, and a change of clothes will get me through a long weekend and on top of some nice terrain. I include my sock liner/sock combo below because I am so damn happy with them (and not expensive).

What Homelesswarrior said- a mummy bag. You want something that's insulated properly so that it rolls up tightly into a lower profile roll, rather than a camping bag that looks like you're carrying around a roll of fiberglass insulation under your arm. He also mentioned a small tent, and I will also recommend a bivy sack. Here is a good example of a waterproof bivy that your sleeping bag goes inside, here is another. These are best for stealth. If you want slightly more room, you can go with a bivy similar to this one, or go with a 1-person tent like this one, or this Nemo Sabre SE. I also recommend you maybe look into getting a headlamp, which you may find invaluable someday, especially if you like to read books the old fashioned way.

It would be great if you found a spot that is out of the way enough where you feel comfortable leaving your gear and don't have to break down your site every morning. Even if you can find an area where you can dig a hole deep enough to put a sterlite bin in, you can store your gear in the hole, and create a camouflage cover for the hole that just looks like the forest floor, or desert floor, or whatever environment you will be setting up camp.

Best of luck to you. Stay safe.

The US surplus bivy's are not that expensive.

There are also a whole lot of other bivys on the market that are certainly as breathable as the military one.
