Dreaming of getting that 1k in points from gohunt and think about what I’d spend it on, albeit not likely

For reference, last year was my first western hunt, I based out of the truck and day hunted, planning on doing that again this year. Also hunted private land whitetail in Texas and used my pack to haul my saddle and platform a lot.

Gear layout as follows
Kifaru duplex light
Straight jacket
First aid kit
Power bank
Muzzle loader gear bag
Kill kit
Columbia rain gear
Stove
Bladder
Water filter
Lights
Carbon Costco trekkers
Viam tarp
Manfrotto befree tripod with Amazon head
Nikon ed50
Razor UHD 8x42
north face down puffy
Jetstream
Black ovis merino base layers
FL and Sitka pants
Merino and alpaca socks
Crispi boots
Ozark trail camp chair for glassing
Marsupial harness
Inreach

I’m fairly happy with everything honestly but what would you upgrade or add? One big thing, a few medium things, or several small things?

I do have a crappy sleeping bag and pad I use in my truck but nothing you could really pack in the field, but not planning that type of hunt currently, so a shelter, and sleep system would just sit in storage for a year or more.

The mini razor would be nice, but aside from when I’ve been tinkering with my ML I haven’t used my spotter at all since Sept.

If I’m sleeping in the truck I’ll have some kind of actual mattress (air or foam) I’m not using a pad when I’m not being penalized for weight.

You don’t specify what kind of hunts you’re planning but if you intend to use that tripod I would definitely plan to upgrade the head and add an adapter to your binos.

It’s like a 3 inch self inflating mattress pad. Comfort wise that was not bad honestly. Just not enough leg room in the truck. Also forgot to put I have an adapter.
This year chasing mule deer and bear.

If you're happy with your setup, why upgrade? I'd keep doing what you're doing. Something will eventually break or you'll lose something or go on a different type of hunt and then you'll have an opportunity to spend those points.

I don’t even have them, just dreaming on what I’d do if I did.
That being said, my shoulder straps are kinda wore and my tripod setup is heavy for being too short to stand and use.
