Down booties for late season glassing.

 

[GSPHUNTER]

Wet wipes, A lightweight stool instead of pad. And a Tripod for glassing with binos.

Wet wipes are a must, unless you want Baboon ass.

 

[fngTony]

Sunglasses

+1 for good pillow. Got a Nemo Fillo this year. Never looking back.

Not in pack, but a tripod shooting stick. I use the Shockey trigger sticks.
Shoot off of it, lay binos on to glass, use as trekking pole, stomp rattlesnake you're about to step on, sling rifle over when taking a break, check water depth, poke buddy when you want to get his attention, the list is long.
Won't leave home without them.

Toilet Paper… seriously, maybe its age but I get the urge way more now than before. It’s like as soon as get 50 yards in… Boom!

Mesh facemask. and liner gloves. I pretty much always wear both while I'm out there. Helps with protecting you from the sun. Rx for a pain med. Learned that lesson the hard way before.

NEBO MYCRO Headlamps! They're super small but give ya 2hrs at max brightness (something like 150lumens) or 4-5 hours at 50 lumens. I bring some Nauzene tablets in my med kit now. Sometimes when pushing it, especially with a pain med... I can get cramps forming in upper abdominal muscles. Those tabs have electrolytes and so forth. And don't require water to consume them.

 

[grappling_hook]

Fillet glove.

Edit: As it happens, I cut my finger with the Marbles knife in my profile pic shortly after taking the photo of it with the mountain goat.

 

[Mike Islander]

Camp shoes.

tripod for binoculars; read about it on several threads here and decided to try it a couple of years ago- huge difference glassing with a tripod vs hand

this is w/ just regular sized binos (10x42)- game changer for sure

last year I swapped out cron starch in my wind checker to micro balloons (also read that tip here), much better!

 

[Firestone]

Trekking poles for packing. Wetwipes on long hunts. And crampons for in the nasty shit when it snows

 

[Reburn]

lots of great suggestions.

While not gear related almost nothing can change my outlook when the hunt is going bad like a small bag of oreos.

3/4" x 18" irrigation tubing for filling water containers in small streams

A dedicated pillow. Spent a lot of years putting a puffy or other clothes in a stuff sack. A real pillow makes all the difference.

What pillow do you use?
