If you want to cut down on the weight/bulk of cooking kit then take a look at Sea To Summit X-set 11. It's a collapsible kettle with two collapsible mugs that folds down to fit inside the Ridgemonkey toaster (remove the implements etc from inside.) Chuck a plastic spork in there too and job done. Small, light, no bulk, cook whatever you want.
I have a tiny folding cooker with elasticated draw bag that sits inside the base of a gas canister. The T.A. rucksack is great but I find it's actually too big for what I take! Would love something with a similar design but smaller still... Fox Easy Shelter Plus is also a great bit of kit for going light/small/fast. Ampulla for pop up pots, get the tiny ones that are big enough for four or five baits. Strip terminal tackle out to only what is used.
With the advances made in kit, manufacturing etc, it's quite easy to go minimal these days, and the internet is great for finding bits and bobs to help do it.

I started on a big pit yesterday 90 odd acres which is days only and although you could barrow, theres loads of gates making things awkward so I've really stripped things back to carry it all, i did 3 laps yesterday and fished 4 different areas whilst carrying the following, obviously this would change when doing nights elsewhere but the principles of travelling light are the same and i think half the time its not so much the weight being the problem its the bulk so I've really compacted stuff and now I have a rush 5:11 12 backpack with an aqua mat harnessed to the base which carries the weighsling and collapsible water bucket and in the main compartment a 1.5ltr water bottle, milk, small pot of teabags and sugar, an optimus terra solo pot which my cup, spork and lighter and crux lite stove all go in, my g5 mirrorless camera, some compact binoculars, and food. The outside pocket has weighmaster scales(very unused recently lol) a laser pen about 6 leads and a small heritage tackle pouch. The top outside pocket has my sunglesses and a cap and the molle loops on the outside hold my 4x jag black banksticks. Its not overly heavy and very comfortable to carry, rods and net are lashed together with some velcro straps and i have a small bucket of bait. I sit on my mat which is always dry these days and honestly don't feel like I'm under equipped, if the weather looks a bit dodgy i will add a thinking anglers waterproof sheet. I do have all the thinking anglers gear which i tend to use more for sessions as its great modular stuff but you end up with too many items to actually carry therefore it suits the barrow approach better i think.

Surely your looking at it the wrong way? You don't need new or more luggage , Just take a rucksack and the barrow should only be sleeping gear rods and carp safety, anything else your taking to much, if it worries you leave some spares in a barrow bag in the car so your never without it just not lugging it about .

For my day sessions I just use a cheap non fishing rucksack, rods are just Velcro tied.
Barrow if you can, makes it so much easier.
