A good blanket 3lb and a water proof canvas hooded poncho 1lb works for mild weather. leaves or grass to sleep on. A stick to hold the poncho up if need be.
For good weather and mild weather yes - but as soon as you hit bad weather, elevations, deserts, swamps, winters etc you start needing that tent and bedroll. A good bedroll will keep you at least 30-50 degrees warmer inside it. A tent acts To add another 10-20 degrees so a bedroll and tent provide comfort, shelter and boost the effective temp while resting by 40-70 degrees depending on how effective they are. If you are running a realistic “nitty - gritty” game then things like the sleeping in armor rules and bedrolls and tents start to make sense game wise ( and reality wise).

Weighs less than a bedroll and 2 man tent.
