storage/carrying options for ULF gear?

[David Lobato]

I use a Kobalt tool case with wheels from Lowe's. The soft sided one fits the 8x10 Deardorff, film holders, 3 lenses, light meter, and odds and ends perfectly. What's nice is it has plenty of handles to lift it in and out of the car, and a long extended handle for pulling it to where I want to set up. The 11x14 camera and its gear fits also, but the lid can't zip shut. It works okay considering the lack of good alternatives, and it needed no modifications to begin using.

Here's what I use with my 11x14. A meat hauler for elk hunting, Camera, dark cloth, 3 lenses and 2 holders..

My 11x14 and 8x20 systems fit nicely in the MEI backpacks. I also use one for my 8x10 system. Now the 14x17 is a different story. I found a Kondos canoe pack and it swallows up my camera two film holders, two lenses and the kitchen sink!!! Really I only take one holder and one lens when I go out because with the tripod (walnut with Gitzo 1570m head) which is 15 lbs. I'm pushing 60 lbs. Man I wish I was younger. Oh, I also use my double wide jogging stroller which will see more and more use as the years move on. I have used it at Bodie and can get my 8x10 and 14x17 systems in it. Makes life good!!

Thanks for all the responses, folks! Right now, the surplus bag seems easiest to swallow cost-wise; I need to measure the folded camera when I get home to see if it'll fit. Found them on eBay for about $35 shipped. I'll add some of the other bags to the Christmas list for this year.

Rolling carts/strollers/bags just aren't an option for me. Too many place around here are rock paths, where you literally crawl over boulders.

Scott,

Here is what I purchased, but have yet not tested on off road conditions. This will be used to carry an 8x10 kit.

Someone has finally made a jogging stroller frame without a child seat - this one is designed for shooting guns, but looks like it would also work for shooting film - I have no connection to the seller.

Okay, I know a lot of people swear by their jogging strollers, but I need help here: Say you're out in the woods, climbing over boulders, and you have a steep ridge to ascend (or descend). How do the strollers work in these situations? I can't picture it...

Go back a few replies and look at the one wheel wonder. The video shows it going everywhere.

I missed that, Randy. Very cool, but $1,300.00?!

Even worse, there is no way I could use it.

I'm becoming a studio guy...and maybe out of my van.

Hiking, LOL.
