Old fashioned foam sleep pad, not an inflatable. Light, durable, can use it to sit on a log around a fire and not damage it.

I'm going to be testing out the squished toasted bagel, peanut butter, bacon, honey lunch this year. 

Other then that, this is a great topic.  I've been building my pack setup this off season in preparation for a 7/8 day pack in hunt this year for the high hunt, followed by a 5 day pack in for deer.  Once I wake up, I'll get a list together of my pack items.  But there is nothing that I take that's mind blowing.

Last August i went on a 3 day to night backpacking hunt with stang it was an awesome experience .  All i had was a good pack frame and i lashed all my gear to it.  I learned stuff i need and stuff i didn't.

One item that should never be forgotten and its always a must for medical purposes, and all kinds of situations ....

Is a flask of scotch, whiskey, brandy, or whatever bears your libation... :chuckle:
And...the larger the flask, the better... :tup:
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

Thats what I eat for lunch on my hunts. After many trials I have found that if you get packets of honey (from KFC or amazon) and packets of peanut butter ( http://www.amazon.com/Peanut-Butter-Natural-Operator-1-15-Ounce/dp/B003WE8OXQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360946111&sr=8-1&keywords=peanut+butter+packets ) and put these on when you go to eat it, your sandwiches will taste 100% better.

I'm going to be testing out the squished toasted bagel, peanut butter, bacon, honey lunch this year.

Crocs are good. There are lighter options but they get expensive.
