Default What gear do YOU take on a ride??

If this has been asked before, please forgive me. I didn't find anything on a search.
If not, then let's start a new thread....

What gear/equipment do YOU take on a long backcountry ride in the trails, or on a hunting trip??
Other than the obvious hunting "necessities", or basic riding gear-(First aid kit, fire ext. etc.), what kind of "Can't go without it" type gear do you take? Just looking for new ideas.

My gear:

GPS
Pair of small Motorola radios
Small military E-tool (Shovel/Pickaxe combo)
Hatchet
Small, (But well equipped) First-Aid kit
Cell phone/spare battery
Winch equipment/strap(s)/shackles etc.
Gloves
Duct tape/electrical tape
Basic tools
Flat repair kit
Tow strap
Bungee cords
100' climbing/rescue rope, carabiners etc.
Camera
Flashlight/headlamp/batteries
Good knife
Really dependable Kimber .45 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Tie-down straps
Fire extinguisher
Emergency blanket(s)
Water

I think that about covers MOST needs. It sounds like a lot, but I carry it all in a fender bag, and maybe one other rack bag.
Can't imagine that I'm leaving much out, but what else do YOU take?

I never ride without money! Even in the middle of nowhere money could still come in handy.......

Um... A cell phone, 4,000 lb tow line, mini-air compressor (to run off my 12V outlet), tire plugs & basic tools (small toolkit and plug tools).

Some small wrenches, lighter, smokes, special herbs and spices, bottle of gatorade stuck in bumper, money, and a form of ID to handle DNR tickets when riding the powerline trails. If in the U.P. and it's night time a couple beers to have on the lake superior shoreline is a must.
