I've used knife an rock more often than not. Usually a knife with a gut hook. A sawzall, hand saw, or hacksaw has always been handy but not required. Something to hang the deer with: gambrel, rope, hooks, or ratchet straps.
I have been using the same fixed blade buck knife with a gut hook since 2005. Fastest gut time of 33 seconds including 5-6 hacks to split the pelvic bone. Total time to gut, quarter and put in the cooler is 8-10 minutes. I tend to wash my hands when I get to camp.
