I'm including a charcoal, a couple of pounds of bacon, peppers, toothpicks, Worcestershire sauce, and Cajun seasoning.  You gotta stay under that possession limit. 
We all need to practice Whoa more.

Essentials? I would say-a gun and a box of shells. No shell vest, no water, no boots, no camo, just the essentials.

 I hope you drive a 4x4 1 ton dually Texas edition with 2 Yetis in the back. Ram trucks are called "Lone Star Edition"  .....I am not far off. I finally did move from a 1/2 ton to a 3/4 ton. Have fun out there!

Shotgun, shells, bag, beer, license. Clothing optional if the GF goes with me.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

In the field I bring shotgun, shells, bird bag, seat/cooler, mojos, decoys, gun rest (homemade, so I dont always have to be holding it) speaker, and license. Now I also bring a small grill, charcoal, seasonings, trashbags, ziplock bags with marker, scissors and a water container but I keep those in the vehicle. It has taken me a few years of tweaking to make it all in one trip.

I try to go with as little as possible.
The more items I come in, the more items I have to carry out.

Might consider adding a hunting license to those essentials as well. Maybe a hip certification and a hunter safety card too
