if you optimize your loadout, you will have room to pick up even MORE CRAP along the way.
this translates to... dont bring everything with you, only what you need for this excursion ;o)

So, you know what I would be doing in real life if I were out exploring and ran out of "inventory" (read: the capacity of carrying stuff on my body, in my arms and in my pockets)? I'd craft myself a backpack so I could store the stuff I'm carrying in my arms and be able to pick up more stuff to carry in my arms! (Nope, I'd most definitely NOT craft myself a cart to pull. Carts are for moving heavy stuff like logs, ore or stone from location A to location B, not for exploring.) So the answer is quite obvious: If they insist on us having to carry our CLOTHES (cos that's what armour is - clothing) in our inventory - we need to be able to craft a bag or a backpack. for more inventory space. Wooden frame backpacks were a thing in the viking age.

and they didnt carry that much stuff. You're carrying a mountain of stone and ore in your inventory, stop mixing game balance with real life :p
