Maybe I'm overthinking (or overpreparing) with the repair stand. I can't have a lot of those frozen meals because they more often than not contain carrots, which I'm allergic to. The MREs would be military stuff, I have a contact that hooks me up relatively frequently. I figured the trailer would be the best way to carry everything, since can't see loading the panniers with those big things. Yes,they're large and heavy, but you can survive on them for a while.
