Besides a rifle?

Binos, sharp knife, water, and my cell phone (turned off, of course)

I like to keep things light.

depends.... this year I will be taking my laptop w/ me ALOT. As close to the house as we hunt, sometimes I may only take bottle of water and a new can of snuff. Then again, sometimes we just hang out in the barn, drink beer and keep a lookout for deer. It's some tough hunting, but somebody has to do it. Never know, but usually the most important thing is to have a whole lot of batteries incase the cameras are dead, corn and a good spotlight.
