Looks great, I've done a fair bit of "Fat Bag Camping" IE using the Arn Mule, and some motorcycle camping, a much smaller Arn Mule, as well as most of summer of bicycle camping too. I also did a lot of backpacking, where I was the mule
Boy you learn to live on the bare essentials when you have to carry it all on your back. I subscribed to the 70/30 rule, which was taught to me like this.
Take everything you have, lay it out on the floor, remove 70% of what you have, then remove 30% of what you have left, this amount is the absolute bare necessities you NEED to bring with you
Anything after that, is a luxury. I remember once going backpacking for an extended long weekend, 4 days, with some friends, two of them were quite experienced, one was like myself, experienced, and three others were total Newbies. The night before we left, we went through all of our gear, no need for everyone bringing the same stuff, right? Well the newbies could NOT believe the total lack of stuff that they thought they would NEED that the very experienced guys had NOT brought. Well we did get them to leave a lot of stuff behind, but they still brought WAY too much stuff. We were also packing our own food, as we were walking into the mountains, no 7/11 around
Sure we caught fish but most of what we ate, we carried. The worst thing you could do, was to come home and unpack something that you had carried around all weekend long and NOT used (talking luxury items here, NOT a first aid kit).
Ah, your post brought back a lot of good memories for sure.
Glad you had fun.
