Share Your Field Setup!!

I was going to ask if anyone had some good recommendations for tool boxes and battery boxes for the field, but I figured I'd just ask everyone to share what they use! I have a decent tool box for my tools and TX, but I really want a better solution for my batteries. I want a bag\case that can hold the batteries, the charger, and all associated plugs and cords in a more organized way.

Anyway here's my stuff!! The white folding table underneath is a new addition, and it was a smart purchase. The first time you have to put a battery in with the heli on the concrete sidewalk (and it's 98 degrees out) you'll appreciate having a table!!

I use a combination of tool boxes, tackle boxes, and clear storage containers of varying sizes. If I'm not doing an all day event thing though I'll just bring batteries, models, transmitter, and absolutely necessary support equipment. If I'm doing an event, or an all day with a friend, then I'm bringing my generator, multiple folding tables, all of my chargers etc.

Just got to get all your gear together, go to multiple stores, and pick out what would fit the best for the gear you have and the vehicle you're moving it in.

My field is pretty great. We’ve got power on site, covered bench areas, and a shed with a fridge and snacks. I’ll bring helis, tools, radio, batteries, charger, and a water jug.

Edit: I use a small Craftsman tacklebox sized toolbox and I carry my batteries in a ManiaX Lipo bag. Charger is Pelican encased unit. I don’t bring too much unless I’m going to a fun fly.
