Is carrying survival gear for deer hunting silly?

I am a city slicker. Consequently, I don’t hunt without a GPS, compass, map, food, down bag, and a light bivaoc shelter.
This amounts to a good sized 45 pound day pack. My hunting buddies are rather annoyed by this, and point out we are never more than a couple hours walk from the car. I am terrified of stepping off the road unprepared. Are my fears unfounded?
