Tarp tent or trekking pole tent? That's a pretty light pack for a 50 mile hike. I'm usually in the mid/upper 30s for a 3 night trip in the smokies. However, I do pack some luxury items like a chair and a liter of bourbon. I use a Nemo Meta 2P for shelter and it's less than 3 pounds.

I've got a 1 person tent (a Hilleberg Enan). With the rain fly and all it weighs about 2.7 pounds. The 29 pounds is for the overnighter. For the 40 miler the following week it will weigh a little more, but I will keep it under 35 pounds one way or another.
