Got lucky enough in my most recent playthrough that all of the copper/tin I've needed was fairly close to my starter meadows base, so it's only a ~5 minute trip with the cart. Made two trips and got everything I needed (plus extra) back to base. Tried loading up the cart with ~250 copper and 120+ tin and had trouble moving up some of the smaller hills without draining all of my stamina, so I cut the load in half and that made it much easier.

Like Science Dog said, I'd definitely recommend using Eikthyr when hauling a loaded cart over longer distances.

Oh i have been using Eikthyr made things alot easier :) been playing since it launched but didn't use the cart till really late on as i lived pretty much close by to the copper haha
