Yeah, I've never found a direct link that carrying and dealing with more gear/crap equals a more enjoyable trip, as well.,.... and simple set-ups. Would rather spend less time in the kitchen and more time on the water and hikes. I've seen way to many mornings where rigging can take hours. Lighten the load and have more free time!
bighorn, I think you get DQ'd for even having hand washing/ dish stations.
And really once you go backpack style with a few light extras like crazy creeks and a lightweight rain tarp(only set up when it's actually raining,snowing, of course) the number of days is nearly irrelevant. 2 days vs 14 days hardly matters in a raft. An extra 10-20 lbs in food? big deal.
