The right boots and the right coat. Where back east? If in a swamp, Muck Boots are great. North or south? Makes a difference, especially for clothing. I like bibs but they are too warm at 50 degrees or higher.
In hardwoods I don't use binoculars.
3-9 scope on anything big enough for deer and legal in that state
Get good gloves too, don't have to be expensive, just dry and warm.
