Since I had to stay out one night, its amazing what you add to your pack the next time out. Most of what people have posted but I always carry 1 big can of chunky soup in the back of the sled. Great for melting snow for water also.
 
Flares and Cell GPS

I carry 2 small flares for fire starting and a cell phone with GPS. I dis-assembled a small $8 snow shovel from Walmart and store the parts on the sled.
 
Great lists .. I've modified my pack to add a few items.

BTW ... I also carry a small strobe light.
 
What about a JetBoil?

Along with everything else listed as "essential," I also carry my JetBoil. This thing is awesome. Boils 2 cups of water in 2 minutes and the tank last for quite a few uses (40-50 times). Only weighs 15-16 oz and packs up to the size of a big cup.

I've cooked soup, Ramen, Cup-o-noodles, coffee.
The other thing I have found is "Java Juice" packets. Makes pretty good coffee out in the boonies.

Just some "extras" for the ride:D
 
This kind of stuff is far more important then "What track should I get" or any DVD release.

Back up for the coming season.
