You have to cheat. Especially if you have a beagle. Maybe with a lab dog, but beagles are not lab dogs.
This was a test run for some camping equipment. Next year is an East Coast trip, and I want to camp on the Natchez Trace and the Blue Ridge Parkway. So some trimming down is in order.
I shall slay the Dragon and have a my trusty coleman stove aboard.

 

Where there's a will, there's a way. A 35 to 40# backpack can hold enough to keep me on the trail for days, and with the Hardtop's seats folded down there's plenty of room for two backpacks. You might opt for the dragon fly, instead of the Coleman!
