I agree with Skinny about attaching things to the handlebars, which can be done easily and relatively cheaply with a few Alpkit dry bags. Just make sure that the bags are securely attached to stop them flapping about whilst riding.
I reckon with the tent as well there might be a bit of a push for space on the front though, or at least, a lot of weight, so wondered about using another dry bag inside the frame, hanging from the top tube, and attached at either the seat tube or head tube, depending on size... This does depend on your frame size, and how wide the bag can be before it bangs on your knees, or impedes access to water bottles. But, if possible, with distribute the weight nicely around the bike.

This thread is great! At first I wanted to go for a rearrack and panniers but that allready weights about 1,5 kg... So now I like to buy a large seatbag for my tent, sleepingbag and matrass.
What do you guys think of this combination:
-This seatbag: http://bikepack.pl/en/seatbags/8-repack-x2-large.html
-This tent (I already bought it) : http://www.vaude.com/en-FI/Products/Tents/Hogan-UL-Argon-1-2P-red-d-red.html
-A Thermarest Prolite small matrass, packet only 28 x 8cm.
-And somekind of summer sleeping bag.. Thinking about a Mammut Kompakt summer (I'm 6'5'')
Do you guys think this will all fit in the seatbag??
