I went with the 12 litre yard sprayer with a custom hose & ends so we have kitchen water and shower, you have to pump it mid shower to get really clean, love the pressure and having a drink or washing hands on trail makes a big difference.
Pretty cool set up the kids have, I got the solar & fridge, table, and I substitute a yard sprayer for the sink, nice to have pressurized water/potable on the trail.
Great thread.
The hard part is getting everyone out of tent, pack their gear, roll backs, deflate pads, fold cots, stack all that somewhere, pack tent, load fest begins......
I leave a table out to roll bags, stuff easy up, stuff tent, and stage stuff on while I load. Stavking sucks, after years of no lunch...
I have had the same feelings and trouble, after 20 years I can get ALOT in my 40. Roof top bag and years of pairing it down, pack most the night before I leave, like take down easy up, stage all the crap like RC cars, bows/arrows, most kitchen stuff, lights, etc... leave out stuff for coffee...
