We should probably talk about all the things to carry.
For example, at the end we are not camping, are we? After the snake video I don’t think I have the guts to sleep in a tent… So there is no need to carry all the related things.
I can bring USB memory sticks if you need hard drives, I have 5GB.
What else?
