Ok so I'm planning to start /out/ting, but my gear is not

Probably a sleeping bag. And a way to carry and purify water

Remember.

Shelter, water, food.

Oh, and you want to make sure you don't get lost.

How big is your pack?
Do you have a sleeping pad/bag/tent?
Does it rain a lot where you're going? If so, you might want to invest in a backpack cover to keep your shit dry
Do you have a small stove and cookware?
Do you have a map of the area/compass?
Do you have a small trowel?
Do you have water purification (boiling/iodine/filters)?
Do you have appropriate clothing for the temperature? Remember that a night spent too cold to sleep will be the most miserable night of your life

Rope or some kind
Backpacking stove (can be bought on Amazon for 6 bucks
Tarp
Tent
Sleeping bag
Sleeping pad or air mattress
Folding saw
Small shovel
Maps of your area
Books on foraging for food/plant I. D.
Compass
Fire steel
Cooking pot
Water bottle
Headlamp(way better than a flashlight)

It all depends on what you want to do. That's a decent list of things many people bring on overnight trips.

I have a little solar inflatable lantern that I keep on the top of my pack to charge during my hike and then use at night

you know whats better for midnight piss trips?

Get yourself a collapsible water bottle that has a wide mouth for your cock to fit in.

You won't have to get out of your sleeping bag all the way, let alone your tent to go piss in the middle of the night. Best $8 Ive ever spent in my life.

OP here. I do have rope, and I forgot to mention I have a sleeping bag wich is not the warmest so I might be getting a new one. I have a thin air matress as well, it should do its job.
So I should probably be looking for a cooking station of some sort, a tarp and a tent?

Unless you plan on setting up a basecamp or something I don't think that you're going to need both a tarp and a tent - one should be fine. Tent is more user-friendly and comfortable, tarp is generally lighter and for spergs like me is preferable because I like to play around with different ways of setting it up.

If you're having a fire going anyways, then a simple pot around 1 ltr. and then a spoon and a mug/cup is all you need for cooking. Otherwise spirit burners are your cheapest option while a gas burner is the more user-friendly.

I could post a minor novel obout clooting and layering, but if you allready have a decent pair of boots then I would say some sort of outdoor pants is the best you could invest in - basically just any pant that is designed for outdoor use will do.
Remember rain clothes

As for the water bottle, I don't think I need anything fancy. I'll just take a few empty bottles from a soft drink and fill it up with tap water when im leaving. Of course I will need more than that to stay alive, so I should probably choose some place that has a water source nearby and get something to purify it. Can I just cook it? Does that work?

Yeah I was thinking the same, why would I need a tarp and a tent? Might go with a tarp just for the fun of it, but I would have to make sure it doesn't rain that weekend, just to be safe. As for the cooking goes, I've used trangia a couple of times and it seems really good and user friendly, maybe I should invest into that?

Get a nalgene or something similar. You don't want to reuse soft drink bottles, they are not meant for multiple reuses and will leak plastic chemicals into your water if too cold or hot or with too much reuse. Boiling water will work for killing most bacteria and vaporizing some chemicals but it will not remove solids, you'll want some kind of filter before you boil it. Also when you get the water from your source, let it settle in whatever container and then filter it, then boil it. This is an easy way to get mostly safe water. But remember that the boiling point of water will increase as your altitude increases so adjust for that if you're hiking/backpacking in high altitudes.
