The post looks fine.
Unscrew the gate, lay it on the ground, measure, and duplicate it with 2x4 and 1x6.
A hand saw and electric drill/screwdriver should be the only tools needed.
New wood should be stained a year later in hot dry conditions after the moisture levels have stabilized.
Add another hinge or two in the center for support if you want.
Apply lots of stain/oil to the post itself. Or even build up a bevel around the base to shed water.
That should last a while.
