I picked up a SO cimmaron and medium stove for extended backpack hunts. I bought a used 2015 Prime Alloy with QAD hdx rest, added a a double pin fast eddie and tight spot quiver. Got a hand me down Leuopold 25x gold ring spotter that will be perfect for backpacking and a Idaho elk and deer tag. Will be doing archery elk and deer in Washington, rifle in Idaho.

Haven't picked up anything yet but the list includes new pack (Exo, SG, or Mystery Ranch), spotting scope, and a new rangefinder.

Trying out a kifaru this year - Nomad on a duplex frame. Plus some small stuff: petzl e lite, steripen, etc. I’m excited to try out the steripen/ nalgene system - should be a great way to simplify my water system on solo trips (I have always used a pump or gravity filter).

So far this year I’ve picked up a Sig Sauer kilo rangefinder, Sig Sauer riflescope, muzzle brake for my little gun, new sling and a spott Hogg sight for my bow.

Next up is a quiver, arrow rest, backpacking tent and a 65 qt cooler.

Not 100% sure I'll have the budget for it, but hoping to upgrade my 10x28 Nikons to a pair of 10x42 Vortex Viper HDs.

I got a new pair of rain pants.  Hope to have a new truck this year sometime too.  Maybe a couple new guns also.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

8 new rifles & scopes, spotting scope, 2 binos and some other stuff I'm probably forgetting.
by the looks of your avatar you may want to put a truck on that list. :chuckle:
Yeah, I wish that was me in the picture, hauling down the road with his big ass strapped to the top!  :chuckle:

This string is reminding me of things I forgot. I also got a new G7 range finder to go with my new rifle and I forgot that I was thinking of getting a new lightweight sleep system this year so I guess I should start doing my research.

I bought a pair of Danner Vital hunting boots that I really like. Id like to try some new broadheads and make up some new wood arrows to shoot from my recurve. A new shotgun would be nice also.

Can’t think of a single new item I need this year - nice to be dialed in!

My wife got accepted to Boise State for her MSW so ill be upgrading her... Unfortunately, it will downgrade hunting opportunities.  :chuckle:

Your guys upgrades look well thought-out.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.
