Yup, same as striker, go to your local op-shop, buy a yoga mat for $1-$2, and slice off an arse-sized bit to sit on when cooking/glassing/don't want a wet crack.
Alternative to Ryan_Songhurst's option, one of these:

A bag of chips and a beer in a chiller bag or under the car depending on time of year) for when you get back - they taste so much better when earned. Just one beer though if you're driving after exertion and being a bit dehydrated.
These:

Salt/pepper/butter
A small stainless or carbon steel fry pan from an op-shop - a few extra grams beats the shit out of millimetre-thin titanium that burns whatever you try cook on it.
A bit of building-wrap as a ground sheet under your tent (as long as it doesn't catch and hold water off the fly...). Stops a bit of moisture, and protects your tent-floor from rocks/sticks.
Total overkill, and the seasoned veterans will quite rightly tut-tut at this, but a tarp over your tent makes for much more enjoyable wet-weather multi-day trips. A wet tent is bearable, but great to avoid. You can even make your own tarp out of rip-stop nylon and turps/silicon if you have access to a sewing machine and cost is a factor.
A good compass and map (laminated print out is a cheap option of you have access to printer and laminator)
3mm paracord - washing line, haul pack up a bank or across a river, hang an animal/legs, bootlace, whatever.
Silky-saw pocketboy (if you might need it and can afford the weight)
Electrical tape and/or cloth tape/snipers tape.
Not all of these things at once unless you love carrying weight. You'll need to balance what you need with want you want (to carry). You can spend a shitload of money on stuff you don't need, but that's your call. Previous related threads on a search for "gear list" for your learning and enjoyment, but bear in mind everyone has a different style and different needs, so a lot of these comments/recommendations won't suit you:

Do some research. Everyone hunts differently and likes (or can get by with) different things. The more seasoned veterans here will go out with a gear list in single digits, but that comes with years of hard experience and wisdom, so take what suits you, and allows you to go out and get home without too much damage.
