Shades of Ilford's recently-introduced "Simplicity Starter Pack" for B&W. But given the cost, I'm not sure how much sense this would make for developing sheet film.

Sure, but they say they're testing the waters. If they sell well, I expect bigger kits would be coming.

Might be good for traveler by airplane.

Go through the CT scan mit camera, fly, buy film, chems, process on location, fly home with processed film!

Back when I was just starting LF and color development, I bought a couple of boxes of that "press" kit Tetenal made, that I think made up one liter of chemicals. Then, because I was doing it with b&w chemicals, I would dilute the C-41 developer 1:1 with hot water after tempering it to roughly 100 F and use 2 oz. in a BTZS tube to develop one sheet. So 1 oz. of actual chemicals, one-shot development of course. Somehow this worked perfectly and I made many good negatives this way, despite the...creative methodology! I assume these chemicals would mix up to either 16 or 32 ounces (35mm or 120 size tank) so perhaps even 4x5 processing of a box of film on the road is possible ;).

Well, I may fly again. Just got my Real ID, because I let my passport lapse, only cost me $5 as a senior. No waiting line, and IL claims a fast visit. Took 30 minutes and the person was busy with me the whole time, typing, copying documents. Pictures. Scheesh!

A Passport is faster and easier to get, as I recall.

I'll get another passport soon.

I actually do like flying, I only brace during takeoff and landing.

But so crowded these days.

A record # of passengers this Sunday...
