I haven't done any proper touring in wilderness myself, but so far all the long rides back home were done either on a big folder with 20" wheels and a coaster brake or a steel MTB.
Bike, rucksack on my back and a tent on the rear rack - no panniers. A tin of spam, some bread, crackers,bottle of water, bottle of vodka, aluminium pot and a lighter. We'd nick some potatoes from the fields. Ask farmers for a couple of free tomatoes or cucumbers. Sometimes hunt for pheasants.
Back then I didn't know any better.
