I think a muzzle cap is a good idea whether outside the wire or not. I spent almost everyday "outside the wire" and we used them on our M4s and SAWs. I can tell you from expience that if doodoo hits the fan theyll blow right off so not to worry. On the240s, M2s and Mk19s we had the tailors make us muzzle caps of cloth and elastic.
It might be expensive to buy new magazines for your M9 but an alternative we used was Wolf springs. They can be purchased fairly cheap online.
A product I thought look promising is Microspikes. They slip on and off like Yaktrax only thy have actual spikes rather than just springs that I found to not have the best traction (but wont dull or catch when walking on metal or hardball).
Consider a pillow cover as bedbugs can be a problem on some of the RON areas or FOBS. When we were on the road a lot of us carried our own pillow in a ruck as well as a woobie or twin bed fitted sheet.
A good pair of winter boots is a must (gortex lined)-
