You carried a pump and CO2?
Well, we rinsed stuff off in the shower every day unless the hotel had a laundry. I could have gotten by on less clothing I think.

I never figured out how to get more than about 80 lbs in the tires with the hand pump, so I carried it as an emergency backup in case I ran out of CO2 - which I did. I also carried a spare tire. I just couldn't see getting stranded in the middle of nowhere just because I didn't have tires, tubes, or air.
