What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

The Gardner rucksack and quiver for me. The quiver is light and well balanced so doesn't constantly swing round. The rucksack is big but comfortable and holds everything you need for a full day. Bait and everything can be put in the rucksack so all you need to worry about is a seat. I can happily walk to distant swims with this. A roll up mat attaches to the rucksack via velcro straps. Having one hand free means I can open gates etc without putting everything down. On slippery banks I tend to use my landing net pole to steady myself.

I use the Gardner Quiver as part of my light set up.
Recently got a used but vgc TFgear seat box that I'm pleased with to omit a separate chair.

Biggest thing for me is my guru fusion unhooking mat that zips up in half and has a shoulder strap too so doubles up as a bag. That on one shoulder with bait, net and bank stick inside, small rucksack with bits and food, rod, net handle and that’s it. I use the same for chub, barbel, grayling, even tench, just change the rod/net size. If I take my chair it’s a super light weight one that I can also attach a rod rest to (matrix accessory chair with shoulder strap), if it’s soaking I wear a bib/brace and coat so no need for an umbrella. When im only trotting my bait apron goes in the unhooking mat before I’m setup too
