I'm pretty happy with most of my stuff. There are two things I want to do.

For the most part my backpack "hunting" is late summer scouting and one late summer hunt I sometimes can get a tag for. It can be pretty buggy so one of the things I want to improve is my bug gear.

I should have enough preference points to draw a mid november muzzleloader elk tag. If I can find a just-right packable tent I might try that as a backpack hunt. Our wet near-coast snow is really heavy. It can run as high as 3-4 inches of water per foot of snow compared to the 1:10 ratio found farther inland. Tents that work in light fluffy snow fail in a specially epic sort of way.
