That's why wheeled devices (like jogging-type baby strollers) and good backpacks are so popular with LF folks.
LF is the most fun you can have in photography without getting arrested. But it's a little like buying a boat. Yes, you do need to start with a hull and a motor. But after that comes the real money, lol.
