Thermarest pad.  I would do this slightly different if I had a choice.  The air blowup type is the best as you are on top of rocks on top of ice.  It helps to even out the rocks from sticking in your back.

I got a kelty backcountry bed for this hunt.  It is rated down to about 20 degrees...but I got cold when it got below 40 degrees.  I would buy a warmer or different bag.

The guide had the tent and it was awesome.  With the constant downpours all night, mine would have surely leaked.  It was a Hilleberg and I don't care the weight.  This is bombproof and will keep you dry no matter the conditions.   It's on my list of things to buy.

I got back this weekend.  Had a fun time shooting big bull moose and caribou in Denali.  Left the horns there with Knights as recommended by my outfitter.  Green scored it at ~163" again so we'll see if that can end up B&C after drying, deductions, etc.  I should have them back by x-mas.  I finished all the video and images for the hunt.  There are many more than were on here.  They can be seen at:
