I want to add one thing people often overlook: gloves. Leather gloves are basically necessary if you're moving a lot of thorny stuff out of the way. They make navigating off trail so, so much easier. Cut-resistant gloves offer a little less thorn protection, but protect you from slips with your knife. I always have a pair of level 5 cut resistant gloves on me in the field. If I were taking a trip, I'd bring 3 pairs. They're light. Sunglasses/safety glasses are lifesavers, too, when you're really in the thick stuff and have branches swinging and poking at your eyes. Glasses have saved my eye in the bush a dozen times over the years. Just some tips.
