Default Help me not forget anything important on my elk trip!

As many of you guys know, I leave for my first elk trip next Wednesday afternoon... I've got most of my stuff assembled already, and am thinking about last-minute details.

Let's hear from the experienced who's been out West before on your thoughts of what's a necessity to carry in my backpack, as well as maybe some camp goodies that I should ensure I've got with me as well?

The basics I've already got:

tent
collapsiblelawnchair
queen-sized air mattress
super-nice Cabela's sleeping bag rated to like 20 below
propane lantern
d-cell powered lantern
thermocell, in case I need it for some reason
huge assortment of elk calls
arrow locker case w/ dozen new ACC's capped, crested and fletched w/ barred feathers
two packs of new Muzzy MX-3's
six camo outfits in Predator camo (three Spring Green, three Fall Gray)
six long-sleeve t-shirts in Predator camo (ditto)
Three short-sleeve t-shirts in Predator camo (Fall Brown)
one of those new hand-cranked flashlight/radio combo things
bunch of water
bandaids
rain suit
gps
laser rangefinder
Nikon Monarch binos
Xenon flashlight
two knives
Bowtech Allegiance
Bowtech Guardian
Summit climber just in case I find a nearby waterhole I want to sit over

hmmm... that's all I can recall from memory about my pile I've been building.

I'm working the Bass Pro show in St. Louis this weekend, so I've got a chance to pick up any other last-minute things I may have forgotten... I'm thinking about a bunch of rope and some game bags, too. Any other ideas?
