Default bare necessities of deer hunting...

So I'm a few days away from my first rifle, and a few months away from my first deer hunt, and I'm wondering, what are the absolute bare essentials for deer hunting. I realize that this could get a hundred different answers from a hundred different people, but I'm thinking/hoping that in order to go deer hunting I don't need to go and get top of the line camo, scent-lock everything, a stand, deer scent, every deer hunting novelty under the sun, etc. I guess you can liken it to fishing pretty easily. I've had just as much if not more fun catching fish with my ten year old, forty dollar Walmart rig while I'm sitting in the weeds as I have when I'm out on someone elses boat with a fish finder, shimano titanium, nasa tested, this that and the other reel, and the most cutting edge no stretch, lo-vis, extra cast, big fish strength mono known to man. If you had to get down to the absolute basics, what goes with you, what stays at home (aside from the gun, scope, knife, and ammo). By the way, brands are helpful, since I don't even have some of the basics yet.
