xlh883 0 #1 July 13, 2006 I am picking up my (possibly first, does this avoid paying beer? )new rig this weekend. I have seen people using hard cases and I would like to get one. Is this a special case or jsut an ordinary plastic box with closing latches? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZigZagMarquis 8 #2 July 13, 2006 Yes, you owe BEER! ... and a lot of folks just use a hard-side suitcase or I suppose you could get a hard side "road case", but they're kinda expensive, but would be great to put your rig in and lock if you ever had to ship it.

xlh883 0 #6 July 14, 2006 Very nice and professional looking! I have seen pelican cases before when scuba diving but forgot about them. Ah, it has been so long since I have been wet. This desert crap sucks and keep me away from one of my favorite hobbies. Thanks for the info guys! I will have to get one of those. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xlh883 0 #7 July 14, 2006 Beer, beer, hmm, what is beer? hmmmm Oh yea, I know what that is! lol Seems I will have to get some of that stuff when I actually get my hands on the rig. A little too early yet. Its 150 miles away and still in the rigger's loft. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will protect your rig from the elements but as for security I don't think so. They will just be able to steal everything in on neat package.My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to jump there!!! ARGH! I can't stand it when folks bring their kids and dogs out and let them run around like its a playground!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, its a bummer, the only time you see "boobies" anymore on the DZ is when some gal is breast feeding... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
