I pack what I need according to the hunt at hand.
Pretty cushy hunts for me around home. The walk from where I park is typically only 400-800meters and most hunts are only 4-5 hours or so.
A fanny pack does all I need. Bow hanger, mini hangers, green headlight, SD card reader, lineman rope, binos, rangefinder, milkweed stuffed in a breathmints tin for a windchecker. Grunt tube and hand saw/knife stay in my harness vest.
Bow rope stays attached to my stand via 32" gear ties that secure my sticks to the stand. Jacket gets tied to the stand. Everything has glow-in-the-dark paint on it in certain places so I can hang and tear down in the dark without needing a light.

Fortunately or unfortunately the county forests, and little farms I hunt are relatively small so I'm never more than roughly half a kilometer from the truck. That said, I only bring in the essentials. Should the gods of hunting send good fortune my way that day, all the necessary accoutrements to dress and haul a deer are only a short walk away;
Climber
Hip pack with credentials, head lamp, little flash light, orange tape, bow hanger, soft case, lighter, rangefinder, doe bleat, grunt tube, binos, release, card reader, wind checker, and rope to pull up my bow. Come to think of it, I haven't seen my knife in my pack for a little while. Need to find that, but there's always back at the truck.
Aside from that the odd time I might bring in corn or minerals in a 5 gal pail, or if I'm going to hunt a new tree the trusty ole' machete.
