For those colder weather late season backpack hunts where my Klymit Static V air mattress is not adequate(cold/frozen ground) I have ordered the Thermarest Trail LIte. Still packs up somewhat small, 11"x5" or so and claims to provide an R3.4 against cold ground. Probably still use the Klymit for earlier season hunts because it is just so small when packed but for later season a bit more insulation is required. Also will likely be trying out my as yet unblooded 25-06rem for high alpine mule deer/bear. I've had it for a couple of years but still kind of stuck on my Tikka T3 lite in 270win.
I would also like new binoculars(Vortex 10x42 or 10x32), may happen, and a spotting scope would be nice. Spotting scope won't be happening this year though, just have to keep using my hunting partner's. This is something I will have to save my pennies for or work a few extra hours every now and then.
It's strange, you think you're all set and then something else pops up that's lighter/better/and oh so I've got to have that!
