Total weight of your sleep system?

New xlite NXT 1lb 1 oz spec(havent measured)
Sierra designs 35 degree get down 1 lb 13 oz(I want to hate this bag because of the short zipper but it just works good.

Tarp with cordage is 1lb 9 oz (not ultralight but been bomb proof)

Sea to summit inflatable pillow 2.8 oz
Tyvek ground sheet 6 oz

Msr ground hog Stakes 3 oz

All told around 6lbs with stuff sack. Actually budget friendly too. I'm sure I could get a lighter tarp and i would certainly think i could find a lighter bag with better than 550 fill but it just works. I use a trekking pole to make my lean too so the weight is dual purpose. I use the tyvek ground sheet when i process an animal to keep the meat clean and I can use my tarp for a whole bunch of stuff.

I will say if its gonna rain for days on end the tarp isnt as good as a tent but both my tents are big and heavy so they only get to play when I know I'll need them
 
Just weighed my current sleep system. All together it’s sitting at 6 lb 14 oz. Not ultralight but it is VERY comfy. This is my backcountry archery Blacktail set up. For elk I loose the tent and run a tarp/borah Bivy set up. Drops the weight quite a bit. I don’t ditch the stuff sacks so that could shave a few ounces I’d imagine.
