The thing about minimalist setups is being flexible from hunt to hunt. One hunt, I may have 4 steps, range finder, forester knife, perch and bow. The next hunt, I may need another step, or a larger pack to take in another layer of clothes. The one thing I typically dont have included is a significant light source, I only need something to keep me from stumbling around, even then I rarely use it the whole walk in. I have another kit that contains all I need to get the deer out should I luck out and fill a tag. It always stays in the truck, along with the cart. When I go to hunt, i only take what i need to be able take the shot. No extra. The only time everything leaves the truck at the same time is when I'm canoeing in. If I walk in, and get it done, I'll be walking back out to drop gear and get the kill kit. It is more walking yes, but back out is never going hurt you.
