The cart holds backpacks and sack yes, so it's not completely empty. I can't say that this will always be the way we'll travel, but right now it will be. I imagine that while Ares and Leofwine travel on the road, the others travel together (the idea is to split the group as little as possible) next to them, but then in the forest. That way they're close enough to support one another if one of the groups are in trouble.<br/><br/>Everyone else feel free to comment on this though.
