[bighornbor]

I'm bringing 10x binos, 20-60 spotter and tripod, atleast 1 ollin adapter for spotter, phone. Those are the basics, what else can I bring to maximize my abilties?

Do you have a way to put your binos on the tripod?

With what I currently own? A camp chair, tripod, 15x SLC, 12x NL Pure, Meopta S2, and a cooler full of cold drinks. Possibly a shade awning as well. Might as well be comfortable!

If I could add more optics? Swaro BTX 2ith a 115mm objective would definitely get added.

What everyone else said, big binos 14X+, a method to mount binos on a tripod and a somewhat comfortable seat. A cushion at a minimum and a small folding stool at the most. Not yet mentioned is a tripod you can use standing. If you don’t want to spend money on high powered binos, even 10x on a tripod are far better than hand holding them for picking apart areas.

Also a good hat that’ll block sun from all angles. A desert sheep guide I know would bring a black cloth to drap over his head and optics.

a good pad is a great thing. I picked up a cheap little KUIU one and it's blaze orange. I strap it to my pack and it works as a good ID panel for that. Other than that, just have a good tripod and head. Mine are not and the spotter moves quite a bit. That'll be one of my next purchases when we hunt more open country stuff. My setup pretty much duplicates the OP's.

This guy was a couple of miles away. I have a phone Skope. Think I am going to try the magview. Not totally happy with the one I have.

if weight is truly not an issue i would take my 25 x binos or borrow my sons 30x binos. a good tripod is absolutely necessary.
