Beauty Dish
2 Light stands
Umbrella
Tripod
Vagabond
2 strobes (alien bees)

I was surprised when I found a Large Format Forum . As a bagaholic, I was doubly surprised to see how they accomodate the HUGE gear that they have.
Here's a link. Check out post no. 5. The photographer walked from Wisconsin to the Grand Canyon (Big Ditch!) with his gear.

Where there's a will there's a way.

I wonder how many angry people are spreading stories of a man putting his babies at risk on the edge of the Big Ditch?

edit: he changed the photo in the post. Previosly he had a picture of himself at the edge of the Ditch.

I have one of these. It folds up so it stores easily (mine's under my bed...)
