    Who needs a changing bag?

    Has anybody tried to load and unload film in the trunk of the car?
    Not a joke, I actually think is possible, provided having a big enough trunk.
    European cars probably are not suited for this, but AMerican cars usually have very spacious trunk areas, excluded SUVs.

    And trunks nowadays are supposed to have those safety latches on the inside of the trunk so that when the mafia tosses you in the trunk on the way to the river, you can get yourself back out. That would help with changing your film in the trunk as you would not need to use the buddy system to get back out.

    In fact, Kirk, what gave me the idea was the scene in Pulp Fiction where Harvey Keitel puts the bodies in the trunk of what I remember to be a Kadillak.

    IIRC Edward Weston loaded film in the car itself on his Guggenheim trip. I think he draped a blanket over the car windows.

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
    a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

    I think a Harrison Pup Tent is cheaper than a car, even a Cadillac off the Pulp Bay.

    if they have a get out of the truck release lever they usually glow in the dark. you may have various light leaks through rust hole and, maybe through the lights.

    but if any of you want to try it i will gladly close the lid!

    My light tent folds up nicely and fits in the trunk of my car. If I've got the trunk of my car to load film in, I've got the trunk of the car to pull my light tent out of.
