Things like the OTA, e.g. an 8" newt should be comfortable enough for most to carry a few hundred meters, it just comes down to how you need to split things up to make it easy for the other segments, it will end up being a mostly 1 handed load held by the rail due to the awkward size / shape
for myself, the mount and tripod are light enough to treat as 1 piece when carrying, so 2 trips at most, with a small backpack to carry all the rest of the pieces.
You can get reasonable exposures of DSO's without going out to true dark sites if none are nearby, just looking for where is darker than you can help if you feel your struggling to get the detail you want (usually exposure length is what you want in either case)
