If you asked me to guess what would be the ‘elegant’ counterpoint to ‘traveling with a carefully-curated of the very best prepper/minimalist/nomad/hiker set of gear which ensure a bare minimum of comfort’ was, I would probably say something like ‘traveling with nothing but cash/credit card/smartphone’. You have elegantly solved the universe of problems you encounter while traveling by choosing a single simple tool which can obtain nearly anything from the universe of solutions.

Maybe “grace” is a better term than elegance?
