Craig's list up a cheap child trailer.
With that you can carry a cooler, usually helpful at a camp.
Loose bungee cords catch spokes. I like band straps, but always be conscious of what can get caught in your wheel.
Zip ties are your friend. They are great for strapping milk crates and such to your rack. Mesh office supply baskets also are useful carryalls. Cheep woven baskets from places like Pier 1 are also not out of bounds if you can't find a milk crate.
A heavy load up high makes the handling twitchy.
Keeping the load low helps, i.e., loading it in panniers.
Cheep satchels found at army-navy stores + zip ties make for serviceable cheap panniers.
Stiffing it up with a piece of rigid cardboard or something will help keep floppy bag out of wheels
