How do you haul your gear to the field

[Grendel]

Currently Paintball Body Bag my wife custom ordered with my nickname "Grendel's Gear" on it. I use it with a collapsible aluminum dolly that has 5" dia wheels for good cross country ability. So currently I fill it with way more stuff then I need. A few years ago I got my load to fit into a good sized Laptop Backpack with goggle case hanging off the straps. I need to get back to that so I can just grab and go.

Good to know I am surrounded by other over-packers. I have one "light" bag, an old JT gear backpack that has two markers and everything for a quick day of play (a sniper and an emek). For a long weekend day of play, I have a large red rolling duffel bag with individual marker bags, tanks, paint, hoppers. In addition there is a smaller duffle, which was my college gear bag, that is nothing but hoppers, tools, tanks, pods, 12 grams, pod packs, and any other such thing. Sometimes random other things also find their way in.

Luckily the home field has large roller carts for you to haul in gear. This is what was loaded in for Bob White this weekend.

I second the wagon. I keep my backups and the "big tool kit" in a gearbag I keep in the car. Then I just bring a large backpack and a gun box to the table I'm staging at.

My first paintball case was a pelican firearm case. Later went to a tote bag, then into the wheeled contraptions, storage containers, you name it.
As far as what actually goes to the field I am in the tote bag I mentioned, again.

For years I used a Body Bag Mega.

I still have it, and still use it. 4 markers, 3 tanks, 3 rotors, it's MCB we all know the drill.

However in the last couple years I have downsized to a small Samsonite suitcase. This is the "the rest the boys can fend for themselves" bag.

I used to pack waaaaay too much. But I got sick of taking a ton of stuff when I only use one, maybe two markers a day. So I acquired an Eclipse GX2 rolling bag. The thing is huge, but I still found myself wanting more space. I finally bit the bullet & started only taking what I could fit in the bag. And guess what? Nothing bad happened. Way happier now.

I've been taking 3 markers, two air bottles, two loaders, mask, clothes & a small tackle box with some tools & o-rings. That's it. It still bugs me only taking 3 markers, but at the end of the day I'm happier.

I just acquired some flat GXG marker cases. I'm gonna set each one up with a marker, barrel, barrel cover & microfiber or cloth so I don't have to make sure I have enough stuff for each marker I bring. Just grab the marker case off the shelf & I know I have what I need already in it.

Unlike most people I here, I'm a bit of a minimalist. It is rare that I take more than 2 guns to the field; that's one mech, one electro. I'm using one the eclipse roller bags. Not sure which one tbh. Two guns, one hopper, one tank, barrel kit, two masks, cleats, pads, caddy, tools, etc. I'm working towards containing the entirety of my paintball gear in that one bag, excluding jersey and pants which are on hangers.

I tried swapping over to one of the Push backpack gear bags, and it was cool but it required too much stuff to be carried separately. Ended up swapping back just a week ago and I'm happier for it.

Having everything in one bag is soooooo nice, both from a storage perspective and from a lugging stuff to and from my car perspective. The main impetus for me was when I saw a post on fb from a friend that they were going to have a game up at one of the rec fields, starting right about the time I was to leave from work. I rushed home, scrambled to grab gear including several backups, throw it in a bag and get it into my car. I made it to the field more or less on time, ended up loaning 2 guns I think? out to people, and it was a good day of ball, but I was annoyed at how much time I had to spend getting stuff together. So now, having everything all together, knowing I don't have to track anything down, that I can just wake up or get home or whatever and just throw my bag into my car, is great. And I've never felt like I needed more than I have in my bag.

I know some people like to take like 12 guns (cough apamburn ) with the intent of using all of them throughout the day, and if that's what you want to do, bully for you. But I can't begin to tell you how nice it is to have one gun, know it's going to work, and just go play.

A 55-70(?) gallon wheeled tote. it's the only way to do it. Jonnydread and I were discussing this yesterday, I tried taking my *essentials* in a bag and still found myself needing the things I normally keep in my tote. Just bring the tote and let it ride.

Yep! I find that I tend to fill whatever vessel I bring. Normally if I'm staging out of my car or I want to dink around with a few different markers I'll bring my big ass Redz roller bag. In theory I like the idea of minimalism, but in practice my love of janky guns means that bringing a minor arsenal tends to work out best in the long run. During the warmer months when guns are a a bit less temperamental I'll throw my Phantom or Super Stocker in a backpack and take the bare necessities, but since below freezing temps make some guns cranky I feel safer bringing a gearbag.

I have a medium sized (?) Empire roller bag, roughly 34"L x 15"W x 15"H. I believe it is the LKR bag but am not certain; bought it used locally.

Current load-out: 2 markers in an HK Marker bag, Stella barrel kit & case, Freak inserts in a portable HDD case (backs are in the marker case), 90ci tank, mask, pod filler (frequently with left-over paint), 2 loaders, cleats, pod pack, and some misc stuff (swabs, sunscreen, batteries, band-aids, etc). I will usually wear my knee pads & pants to the field and put arm pads & jersey on once there. At the moment pods are in an old paint box that I just carry. I also have a backpack that I keep a change of clothes in and a 1-gallon water jug. If I really pack precisely I can toss in a second marker case without much issue. Post play I stuff as much of my gear into it as I can. If I don't have boxes of left-over paint I can make it inside in one trip, otherwise it is two trips from the car.

I'd like to get either a Push D1 roller or the HK roller but there is only so much money to go around.

I'm thinking that I want to bring more out of the car (currently just using a medium empire bag with 2 markers) but I am concerned with having that much gear just sitting around. I usually play solo and float from field to field (not a regular anywhere). So, there is no one around to keep an eye on the gear. Are those of you that bring several bags or a wagon (I really like this idea) concerned with theft?

[War009]

That's why if and when I bring my Reflex autococker its either locked up in vehicle or with me. I starting to get that way with my ccms too.

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

Blue hawk wheelie toat. Most of the stuff just is thrown randomly in my car though

[ChoSanJuan]

It's either the whole Craftsman tote for larger trips/games or just the Ikea Vaerldens backpack that I've got on the top of it, for day games.

I'm doing pretty much the same thing. Except I have a couple markers per case.

Previously I took a lot of stuff to the field; volleyball duffel bag filled with my soft goods, medium sized crate hard case for the markers, fishing tackle tool chest thing, and a cooler. Now I usually just bring my Vulcano backpack, which is pretty large, the tool box, pod pack with its pods, and a jug of water. Maybe another marker of a different style if I'm feeling saucy. Usually I'll decide on my style of play for the day so I can take the main marker in the category and its backup. I'll also bring two tanks, two loaders, and two masks. That way I can loan out a set up if it really comes down to it.

I also have a small backpack that has my stuff I use for practice drills at my indoor field during the week.

If it's just me, I don't haul all the gear to the table. One setup in a marker bag, tool bag, & rolling duffel for paint & soft goods. I could pack it all in the duffel, but it doesn't roll great on gravel when filled to the brim. I keep extra markers, clothes, etc, locked in my car.

If my kid tags along, I use a collapsible wagon from Academy Sports.

[ChuckLove]

I use a Vulcano paintball Backpack just like this. Best paintball specific bag I've used to date.
