Likely the brand is Naturehike. Model is probably a Mongar or Cloud Up. I use a aliexpress clone too. Review here https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....a-clone-66856/
Heaps of good stuff via ali. Almost all my 200+ orders have arrived within 3 weeks. Had 3 that took 3 months (trackign showed most of the delay was in NZ), and have had 3 refunds where stuff never arrived. Zero issues with refunds.

I bought the Naturehike Mongar 2 Tent which is a rip off of the MSR Hubba Hubba and the Bushbuck 8000 (which is also a MSR ripoff). I bought mine from an NZ supplier so was like $250 but apprently you can get them off Ali Express for around 100-150. Would be great sjopping. Good 3 season tent. I have used in the rain which no issues.
Only thing is that it's got a low tub so wind can come in from the sides but tent placement can basically solve that

Yep correct. Naturehike and not sure what model. 👍

Budget hunting means my feet get a hammering, helicopters, quad bikes etc are never going to be a reality for me

My 56 year old knees are doing ok, my lower back not so much

Swiss army surplus rain jacket for $15 off army and outdoors, actually pretty good jackets.

One area I think people get sucked into spending for too much on is rifles and scopes. You don't need a high end scope for 90% of applications. Binoculars, now there is an item not to skimp on but not scopes.
I've never been in a situation where I thought I could have Shot an animal if only I had a better scope.
