Cooler in one pannier, apple box filled with dry goods in the other. Bed roll, duffle bag, camp chair, tent (back packer style), and thick foam pad, all mante upped and top packed. One guy with a pack mule can live comfortably for several days loading a mule like that. If you have animals your camping near water, if that water is a creek, put the cooler in it and it should last for several days. I'll be taking stuff for spaghetti, biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, pancake mix, syrup, lunch meat, maybe some steaks, brauts, bread, buns, cup'o noodles, summer sausage, and some cheese. I don't pack a bunch of beer, it's just weight that isn't all that useful to me in the back country. My rule for eats in the back country is, never get more complicated than what it takes a pot and pan to make.
