LOL I agree with you there mate
I don’t know where all the crap comes from 
I’d start with giving the wagon a through clean inside because you don’t know how much human slime has been deposited by the previous occupants over the last 6 years, also you’ll need, phone charger, phone/tablet/laptop with a high data allowance, sleeping bag/bedding, water container (i use a 25 litre), camping stove with spare bottles of gas, tinned food/dry food, funnel, water bottle, flask, brewing supplies, saucepan, plate, cutlery, bog roll and ■■■■ bottle.
