We all have our way and none is right or wrong except for the ass-kicking
I'd get if I ever took something off another department's truck without

OK they have lots of AC cables on their truck but I don't usually had

That's a shame...we'd never go to their truck and take their cables
here.  They wouldn't allow it!  They usually just ask where I'm going
to set up and bring a line over.  I do carry my own cable around with
me because sometimes it's faster to do it that way.  It's one single
50' AC line, not a back breaker by any means.  Hangs right on a hook
on the back of the cart -- very simple.

OK in that case.
I just won't shoot using a computer and/or an AC mixer, too bulky/big/
fragile for me to start with.
With just the recorder (Deva in my case but same for the 788T) you can
also organize the audio sends, etc.
But well, that is my minimum footprint/weight approach...

Each style of working has its own set of pros and cons.  You should do
whatever makes you happy!

My footprint is a little bit bigger. But, I also did Video Media
Management of the P2 card data, so I had a few extra drives to backup
all the data. Also built a small computer network from A/V village
back to the Producers RV to share Info.. So I guess you could call it
Audio, Video, Network Village..
