I learned the hard way to keep it light.But that waws not for freight purposes.
Shipping costs are not to do with weight but overall volume. Sea freight certainly, ignores weight, air freight only considers it to a very limited extent.
Think about asking an air freight firm for two quotes for (say) a ton weight. The first being feather pillows. The second for lead bars.
Get the idea?

Agreed.
But don't let it take over.
I have heard of people who planned to the Nth degree and then on their trip found it a total anti-climax.
Over planning has also left people so vulnerable to an unexpected event that they cannot cope with the mental or physical consequences. Resulting in abandoning 'before things get worse".
'Adventure' means being close to the unplanned and unexpected. The more there is, the greater the adventure.
