That's exactly what I'm thinking.

I have all the critical gear in my ALICE pack. If need be, I could survive with that alone. But I have no room left (either in space or weight) to carry a tent. I don't think a tent is required if you can build shelter using natural resources, but having one would make life that much easier. If I had a cart, I could also have a tent.
