That would be an extremely silly thing to do. You risk being flown back at your own expense, and/or possibly after spending a few hours in immigration detention whilst your case is settled and you can be assured that this is no pleasant adventure. Carrying appropriate documentation (in this case passport or proof of citizenship) doesn't usually come with "if it's not too inconvenient" as a proviso.

(I am into adventure sports and camping, so pretty easy to lose stuff, I prefer to carry as little as possible).
