If going fishing meant I would have to load up a van with a stack or gear, then unload and pile high onto a barrow, I would pack in carping.

always thought mine looked like I took loads , but I only take what I need ... barrow bag contains brew kit , stove , water , box with food and knife n fork , tackle box , scales ,camera, few bits .... avid cradle ... bait bag and chair.
can't avoid rod bag and brolly really ... i'm 50 odd so don't wanna be perched on a bucket or leant up a tree really.
it's on the barrow so easy enough
