Re: hauling all the gear (was field seats)

[Katharine Thayer <kthayer@pacifier.com>]

Carole, I have a great cart from the Riksha company in Canada.  It's  
a golf cart that's modified to carry camera gear.  It's got big  
wheels so it rolls effortlessly across sand and dirt instead of  
getting bogged down, is balanced so it takes no effort to push it,  
and it assembles and comes apart easily to put in the back of the  
car.  I carry 50 pounds or more on it quite often when I'm out with  
my 28 pound Burke and James and my big wooden tripod, as well as bags  
of lenses and whatnot.  I think they made it for me as a special  
order item;  I don't see it on their website as a stock item, but  
maybe they would make you one.
