things I recommend

chair of some sort

if you plan to hunt woodlines etc you should have on orange safety vest ** Hunting season and Deer Rut in full swing next week most likely so lots of hunters (with rifles not metal detectors) will be out and in woods should you accidently stray off course. I would rather error on side of caution and safety

GPS or compass also would be good idea in case you stray if you have it

see ya soon

A few extras to add to the list to be on the safe side!
