Outdoor Products Arrowhead
This might not be everyone's cup of tea due to lack of features and a support strap, but its a good beginner's backpack. I do like the Granite gear crown 2 which is marked down on their website but its outside our budget.

Stoic Madrone 2
Madrone 2 Tent: 2-person 3-season, was on sale for 20% off over the 40% off closeout deal. Backcountry also offers 15% off for new customers as the 20% discount on select items is not offered any longer. This might not be the lightest tent but when shared between two people, it could be a decent option.

Kelty Pack Cosmic Down 20
550 fill down, may not be the easiest to pack but should provide enough warmth. I see complaints about the zipper but at the same time people tout quite a bit about its durability. Also, public lands will honor the 10% off on the clearance price if you sign up for their newsletter.

Big Agnes Insulated Core Ultra
20 x 72 might not be the perfect width but the price to value for a pad with an R value of 4.5 which is rated by a 3rd party.
