I really don't carry very much. Knife, Multi-tool, Flashlight on my belt. Call, binocs around neck. Pull up rope in pocket. Phone in pocket. Maybe a different set of gloves depending on the weather. I've carried a small pack before but barely used anything out of it, and felt kind of gay for carrying a fannypack
If I can't fit it in my pockets, around my neck, or on my belt, I really dont have much use for it. I've gone out many times with nothing more thanthe weapon.
