Nothing in regards to backcountry gear. Thats why i figure I will give myself a year or two to get what I need and go from there.
Judge if you want, we are all going to die.

I intend to deserve it.

If you are truly going into the Backcountry by yourself, you also might want to invest in a Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB). There are a few companies out there. I personally don't like the SPOTs. I own an ACR SARlink. It will give your significant others some piece of mind if you happen to get hurt 15 miles in the middle of nowhere. Just a thought.
