^ I completely agree on the smart phone things. I personally only carry my iphone SE(one of the smaller ones). I use it for basic navigation, but don't even use any sort of turn-by-turn directions. If need be, depending on the location and need, I'll write up a cue sheet for turns and stick it on my bike stem. The phone is a great resource, and I do love the ability to have any map directions I want from maps.me even without cell service. The only other electronics I carry are a small power-bank, the plug for charging the phone, the cord to go from the plug or power bank to the phone, and a couple small flashlights. I use dynamo lights. I have a good camera and internet on my phone, which lives in a robust waterproof case. It can, and has multiple times, handle falling to the road while riding, or riding in the rain. I have no desire to carry a ton of other electronics and weight. I'm always amazed when I see people talking about hauling 50lbs+ of gear. My god... I'm travel heavy compared to you and I haul 20-30lbs depending on the trip(with food, but not including water). I could cut more weight, but I like to camp comfortably with a two person tent(roomy for one, very snug for two), inflatable pillow, small chair, etc.
