Taking less gear means less time preparing for a trip, loading and unloading the car, loading up a barrow, setting up a barrow. Squeezing all the gear into the car.
So much easier or maybe I am just lazy.

My thoughts exactly. I don't want it to be a chore every time I go and that time can be spent more productively. I'm going to have another go at scaling back a bit at a time and see how I get on.

Totally agree no need for all this gear but to go light you have to be ruthless cutting gear down if your ditching the barra then every ounce counts

What exactly do you need to prepare?? But of grub isnt exactly a chore, if you have most things terminal tackle wise there isnt need to prepare anything. You might have an extra bag and a bucket, we talking negligible amount of time in the grand scheme of things in an overnight situation. If you get your rods out first, and wind them in last I cant see a difference

The thing is, you add a bucket, then a stove, then you need a cook bag, then this and that, and before you know it you need to add a barrow.

Spot on
And saving on the weight of around 6 foot of carbon for 3 rods makes all the difference, probably one of those trendy “carpy” things unless you are fishing exceptionally tight swims or out of the back of a Corsa with the beat box belting out

I don't own a corsa. But my sons partner does. I believe it's going to up for sale soon. I wasn't considering it. But if it's going to make me Carpy. Do you think I should make an offer. I am a 50 year old short fat bloke so I'm not sure if that should affect my decision.
Appreciate any advice. As long as it's not eat less you fat c@@t. I hear that enough from my Mrs.

I cut my titanium spoon in half with an angle grinder to save 0.5 grams.

Amateur. If you was really Carpy you'd eat off the angle grinder.

No but I'm prepared to attack it with a few rattle cans and put a No Fear sticker in the window if required.
