Exactly my point. All the excess items and camping supplies, they are just annoying in the long run. They have no value because there is nothing stopping the player from just sending all to camp so encumbrance is also , meaningless. The value of the meaningless items isn't worth carrying it all around.

The only alternative is putting risk on Fast Travel and Send to Camp. But by doing that, won't that just be more annoying? So why have all the useless junk and camp supplies if there is no real value or purpose or any strategy in managing them?
