Pack up at the end is easy with this method. Take it down, throw it in a basket, load the basket on your mule, wagon, or truck. Get home and everything goes back into storage.
But all trips aren't the same. For a multi-night gathering, you may need a charcoal brazier to cook meals on. Which means you need a water bucket, a pot or pan, fire tools, cooking tools, food bags, etc. But maybe not all of your rope tools. But for a shorter event, you needn't bother with the cooking gear..
Sometimes you need to remember, and find, a set of wire snips because you are giving a demo at a school, and they are uncomfortable with strangers carrying knives. You want to bring a larger selection of ropemaking tools, for show and tell. But don't need tents, sleeping gear, extra rope, and things to trade.
It helps to be organized. Sure, that takes some of the adventure out of life, but to be honest, I need all the help I can getting where I need to be. So related small stuff goes in small bags (or small boxes). And related small bags go into bigger bags. Hopefully that means fewer trips while loading and unloading.
