Unless you plan to carry a lot of "stuff", I don't think you need to make two trips.
Starting tommorrow, you and your buddy should log exactly how much liquid (water, coffee, beer, soda, anything) you drink per day, for a few days. That'll give you a baseline. Add however much water you need for the freeze dried meals. Then increase by some amount to account for the extertion - like by 1/3X, not by 2X. That's your minimal water need. Add 0.00001 oz/day for "washing" and up to 1 qt/day for safety.
Also, consider skipping the tent, instead bringing a large but lightweight tarp and enough cord to hang it up in some trees. Weather and bugs permitting.
