I’ve never hunted out East but…
200lbs of scattered corn is a good start!
A 7-08 or 308 with a 2-7 or 3-9 Leupold
8x Vortex bino
Havalon knife and blades
Bic lighter
Headlamp x2
For packing out deer on a budget- Military backpack with the good padded shoulder straps and padded waist belt. Molle II I think? $50
Firstlite merino wool gloves
Smartwool socks
Stan Potts cap (radar cap) 😃
Good boots
6” cushion seat
20’ of 1/4” braided nylon rope
*Note* Always carry TP
