Not sure if it's been mentioned, but if you're hunting where getting lost/having to spend the night is a worry - they make powerbanks as small or big as you'd want in case your cell phone is dying.

Swarovski 15x56 Bin and Steiner 8x56 Nighthunter bin

The Steiner may be discontinued, previous to that I had Docter 8x56 Nobelem that was stolen and it has been discontinued.  The Docter was the gold standard, then the Steiner took over that spot as the 8x56 Shadowquest.  I think the Steiner is still sold as a T856R as a tactical night observation bin w/reticle.  I used and still have a pair of Hensoldt 8x56 Nacht-Dialyt that Bill Cook refurbished when he was with Captain's Supply and they are great, but not that waterproof.  Then had two pair of Docter Nach-Dialyt stolen and now have the Steiner.   

The big Swaro has it going on over spotting scopes for big country.  The 8x56 can't be beat for finding elk hanging out in heavy cover, I've not seen a roof prism bin that can keep up at first/last light w/the best low light Poros.

That's pretty much what I carry.
Except one fixed blade , another in the truck.
No first aid ,my roll of electric tape is first aid..
Other than that basically the same....
