Pretty sure I came to my final list. Just listing the major stuff below. Will also be buying a back up battery, lighting, cheaper tripod, bag/case for everything, and a memory card or 2. Let me know what you think of my choices and if Im missing anything.

Mind me asking why you are going with a boom mic right away over wireless? Will you be filming yourself or will you have a cameraman? I think I would go wireless first. Think you will get more use out of it. Just my opinion.
Thats a good point...just always seen set ups with booms so figured its what I need. Ill pretty much only be self filming. have any suggestions on wireless? Are they pretty universal, work from camera to camera?
This wireless mic works good for me. Only down side is that it uses 9v batteries, and eats them pretty fast. Azden WLX Pro Wireless Lavalier Mic System WLX-PRO B&H Photo
I use a boom Mic and it works out good for self videoing. You can pick up the deer walking in leaves and other wild life sounds.
