OltHunter:
To piggy back on Cab's #5 - Garmin inReach that never stays out of reach. I'm big on safety and will always recommend that first to anyone that asks. It's not 100%, but your best option should you find yourself immobile or lost and out of cell service. It does no good if it's buried in your pack though unless you get lost.
Sport Clot and some type of tourniquet system.

Going with a buddy - especially one that is experienced and has some of the gear already is great.
Splitting up communal gear: stove, cook set, tent, food, first aid, water filter - can cut back on each individuals' total pack weight. Having someone to share camp duties with can also help with efficiencies. And it's always good to have someone to help if something goes awry.
There were a couple early MeatEater podcasts that were focused on gear, that might be worthwhile to listen to. Again, it's tough to weed out what is a valid preference for something because it's good solid gear, vs. who their title sponsors are for those episodes.
And all the best gear in the world won't do you a bit of good if you don't have good physical and mental fitness. Walking in the mountains is different than doing a stair-climber in a gym. Handling a stressful day at home is a lot different than a stressful day in the wilderness hours from first responders.

haftard:
I realy like the way it looks on the maps and if i dont see any deer at least i might see some goats
