On my recent solo trip I used two bags— one Duluth #3 Camp Kitchen (45 pounds) that held my tent, sleeping bag and pad, clothes, rain gear, tarp, cook kit, and back up fishing tackle. The side pockets held loose stuff like extra batteries, notebook, trowel, etc. My second bag is a Duluth portage pack, which held all my food (15 pounds).

My tackle box attaches to a thwart and never leaves the canoe. Rods are likewise secured.

I usually portage the canoe first, then go back for the two bags. The portage pack clips on the front of my #3.

Works for me.
