I used to pack in a pack load of stuff. Don't do that anymore, I am a firm believer in the KISS method. Keep It Simple, Stupid.

That's pretty much it. I have a bag on my stand that has my pull up rope and a limb saw in it, as well as a screw in step. I can carry that stuff in a small fanny pack.
That's pretty much how I carry now too. With the exception of the GPS, which I don't have nor need, that is pretty much the same list I carry. I carry everything in a small fannypack as well (actually the top portion of one of my Kelty packs that is detachable). The only other things I can add to this list is first-aid kit, to me this is a must have in any situation, and I also carry a small fire building kit.
