I bought some stuff from vendors at ali express, and am really pleased with the price and quality.

The weight of this $57 tent with the poles is 2lb 10oz (I weighed it). I am 5'11", and I can very precisely fit in, laying flat, without my head or feet touching the tent. Would be nice if it was a little longer. The width is generous. The packed size is really impressive, because the pole segments are short: 14" x 4.5" diameter.

NatureHike model NH18A095-D

This $163 down sleeping bag (800 fill goose down) packs super small, and fluffs up super big. I don't know how else to describe how incredible it is compared to my synthetic bag.
They make these to order, so in place of a store discount, I asked for an extra 50g of down to the toebox (because my feet are always freezing), and I asked for it in black (although the material is super shiny, so it kind of looks like a trash bag, though it is very tough... I tried pulling apart the material with my hands and couldn't tear it... I would suggest navy blue, but don't know if they have this color).
The compression sack it came with was too delicate, and tore, when I pulled on a strap. However, they are sending me another one that looks tougher (based on the pictures they sent).

I also bought a merino wool base layer, and a light down jacket, if you are curious.
