The Osprey Atmos is a more popular backpack than that Volt. Fit is really the most important part of this - so if you have a chance to try either on - that would be ideal.

These poles are better than the ones you have listed:

The North Face Venture jacket is more popular / recommended than the Resolve:

Skip the solar charger. A USB battery pack is way more useful. Solar are just too bulky and low charge for the effort. Get 2 if you really need the power.

Tent is really small and not a popular/quality brand. How much time will you spend sleeping in this? Every night? Have you ever slept in a 1-person bivy style shelter before? Where will your backpack go at night? I would not recommend this. If you really need to go this cheap (under $100 is SUPER low for a quality ultralight backpacking tent) - then consider Nature Hike brand. They are a knockoff Chineese company that's somewhat good.

That sleeping bag is garbage. It's super bulky and not very warm. The 32F rating is a straight up lie.

I recommend this bag instead:

You also need a sleeping pad. Not optional. Check this out:

100% skip that hammer multitool. WOW is that thing bad. If you need a knife - buy a knife. You do not need a hammer for backpacking.

The headlamp is great, good choice.

The stove / pot / cook kit is okay. It's a popular budget option. If you could spend a bit more there are better choices. For example:

Don't forget TP/wipes (and a way to pack them out once used), good wool socks, dry bags / pack cover, food bag, water bottles, map, first aid, toiletries, lighter, duct tape, phone/camera, and other random items. Plus clothes of course - lots of layers!
