This is my recommendation. They fold down to nothing, but when you've got to move a 125 lb box up a flight of stairs, you'll really appreciate it.

This is what I use for furnaces and maybe a small condenser (up to like 2 or 2.5 ton).

You aren’t going to find a small dolly that can take a condenser up a set of stairs probably.

So, kind of went against the recommendations and went with the Magna Cart.

I like the small form factor and hopefully it holds up. I can return it if it doesn't hold up to its weight claims.

We bought a 15-foot Chelan 155. We store it in the bag it came in, but we store it inside (wanted it to remain climate-controlled). Also, because the bag was a tight fit to try to put everything back in it once we had taken everything out and unpacked it, we just left the boat itself in the bag and put everything else in a laundry bag (life vests, paddles, pump, etc etc).

It's still not exactly "light", so we bought a collapsible hand truck to transport it when we go kayaking: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000HVVSDU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There are carts too just search mainly . I use that to move my box from outside to inside. Life saver as it can move a lot of things. And weight.

Here’s the link on amazon.

Sorry, it’s $35 not $30. The handle folds down and the flat part you load stuff on folds up. I’ve put 3 cases of water on that thing with no problem.

This is the one I have (this is NOT an affiliate link either) you can get cheaper ones but I wanted to make sure it didn’t fail me when I needed it.

The instacrates you can get from Costco usually, I’ve never not seen them there. Also, they’re only $7.99 at Costco and double that from amazon.. Hope that’s what you were after..

folding handcart + bungees

Also be aware that bugs can live quite easily in upholstered furniture, and also in the cracks and crevices of wooden furniture. (Apparently bedbugs can spread that way.)

I wouldn't bring home upholstered furniture from the street. For wooden/plastic/metal things, it's a very good idea to spray down with bug spray and leave it outside or in the hallway overnight if you can.

haha wow, just checked on amazon. Apparently I got this April, 2015 and it still works great for me. It's been used a ton, thrown around, etc and it's still holding up good enough.

I bought a rollaboard carry on bag. Keep my usual backpack stuff in it, attached my canvas(es) to the handle lol. Or if it,s really heavy, maybe a luggage cart or a hand cart? Like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HVVSDU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_azswAbXN5RW32 and you could strap them to that

Yeah I found them pretty cheap on amazon. You just might want to get new straps as the ones it comes with are a little iffy.

I have an EV ZLX12P PA speaker I use for small stuff. It's nice cause it's like 30lbs and pretty easy to carry but also gets super loud. Highly recommend. Not the most bass heavy thing ever, but I'll play out with it with my Kala U-Bass occasionally and it's fine.

Edit: I'll also add, because I'm lazy I bought a small collapsible hand cart I keep in the trunk of my car that makes lugging amps 1000x easier. Also would recommend. Something like this.

Update after some google searching I found this one was recommended by another attendee.

This'll probably be the one I go with

I brought two 12-bottle styro shippers with me (mostly empty, except for a few bottles I brought for the IP trade). I also brought a nice double-walled corrugated box I had around the house that was the perfect size to fit the Cantillon crate and filled it with 2 rolls worth of bubble wrap I picked up on Amazon for about $10, along with some other misc packing material I had lying around from trading. I ordered this dolly to drag the 3 boxes through the airport and on the trains and brought along a couple of bungie cords I had to help keep the boxes from falling off the dolly. I packed most of the 750s in the bottle shippers with a little bit of bubble wrap to make sure they were nice and tight in each slot, and most of the 375s in the other box with the crate in it, with lots of bubble wrap around everything. Ended up with a handful of extra bottles that went into one of our suitcases. I put each bottle in a dirty sock and made sure the suitcase was packed tight so they wouldn't move around much. I brought a digital luggage scale with me to make sure I kept everything under the 23kg airline limit. My wife was with me and I'm a Delta medallion member, so we were able to check all 4 pieces between us for free.

Can grab a little fold up hand trolley for $40 and use that. Not bad if you have multiple bags and crates and what not to lug around but don't have the room of money for a full blown AC/camera cart

Yeah, I'm not going to try that. I've already had a drop scare and I don't think my heart can take another one of those. :)

I'm thinking of purchasing a cart on which I can load up the mount and carry it. I can just use the same box and styrofoam that the mount came with (reinforce the box with duct tape). Load up the box on the cart, and the weights and tripod on top of the box.

Dude, one more question: What are the dimensions of the box that the Orion Atlas is shipped in? I was thinking of purchasing this cart: http://www.amazon.com/Magna-Personal-Capacity-Aluminum-Folding/dp/B000HVVSDU/ to carry it around. Do you guys think this will work?

I have one of [these](Magna Cart Personal 150 lb Capacity Aluminum Folding Hand Truck (Black/Red) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HVVSDU/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_84M54B4XBZWVGKF4TYEX) and it's come in handy Manny times.

We checked everything, including the stroller. We wheeled the kids through the airport in their car seats by attaching the seats to cheap hand trucks using bungee cables 😜 kind of ridiculous but it worked. When we got to the gate, we threw the whole set-up into a gate check bag and checked them there.

Once on the plane, we used the KidSafe harnesses for the seats. Have a conversation with them beforehand about how there are things you need to do to all stay safe to set expectations that they’ll stay in their seats. Kids respond well to safety language 💜

Here’s an old post I had written up years ago about our travel method. (Many of the links are outdated). I hope it helps. You’ll all do great!

1. We purchased hand trucks from Amazon. something like these: http://www.amazon.com/Magna.../dp/B000HVVSDU/ref=sr_1_1...
2. When we got to the airport, we took the kids carseats out of the truck and bungeed them to the hand trucks with little bungees we had bought at Home Depot. https://www.dropbox.com/.../IMG_20141129_052520229.jpg...
3. We put the kids back in the carseats and wheeled them around the airport in the seats. We checked everything possible. Many airlines let you check anything that is for kids free of charge: https://www.dropbox.com/.../IMG_20141129_052509430.jpg...
4. When we got to the gate, we took the kids out and then put the whole carseat/hand truck contraption into a gate check bag and gate checked them. No need to disassemble. (when they were 11 months old, we only gate checked one seat and brought the other on the plane. The hand trucks fold down flat and fit in the overhead). 1.

Terrible since they have 4 wheels. Something like this is better for going up stairs. I have something similar to this as well -- I use a collapsible crate on the bottom of it to hold the bags when I used it. Since I got the wagon, I don't carry it around much. If I have to deal with stairs, I just wheel the wagon to the stairs and carry the stuff up by hand. In this specific scenario, there was an elevator, but carrying the bags across the parking lot and then down that long ass hall way would have suuuuuuuucked.

A foldable handtruck is a valuable investment for heavier items. I have this one.

im in the UK so that would need to be imported but thanks nevertheless, someone recommended something like this

This folding hand truck would work well. https://www.amazon.com/Magna-Personal-Capacity-Aluminum-Folding/dp/B000HVVSDU Use it with 2 solid rubber tie downs and it should work.

My wife and I went last year and used several methods to bring stuff back. I brought all my packing material with me, as I had heard it's not always easy to find around Brussels. I brought back 2 12-shippers as checked luggage full of 75 cl's. I also brought a really nice double-walled corrugated box specifically to fit a Cantillon wooden crate. I packed the crate full of bottles wrapped in bubble wrap and wrapped the whole thing in bubble wrap and dropped it in the box. We also had a 6-bottle Cantillon box and multiple other bottles wrapped in clothes or bubble wrap in our luggage. We each got 2 free checked bags on Delta, so this was far cheaper than shipping. I used this Magna dolly to help lug stuff around between the trains and the airport. Here's the haul. No issues at all with any of the packing methods, even with a couple of TSA inspections. I told the customs agent that all my items were full of beer and he waved me right through with no duties.

>The hardest part about getting to a LAN party usually isn't the drive, but rather the short walk between your car and wherever you're setting up. Even if you built a microATX cube to hold your high-end array of graphics cards, you still need to make a second trip for your monitor, and possibly a third for peripherals.

I highly suggest getting something like https://www.amazon.com/Magna-Personal-Capacity-Aluminum-Folding/dp/B000HVVSDU and some Bungee cords.

Alas. I guess I like the idea of a drum truck or hand cart. I got one of these and it's very useful. http://www.amazon.com/Magna-Personal-Capacity-Aluminum-Folding/dp/B000HVVSDU/ref=lp_553520_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1422146592&sr=1-1
