[LargeFormat] Real men & women only shoot 11x14

[Vincent Dobson]

"Big wheel" -- reminds me either if something I've seen or the results of a
dream after a midnight snack of trail rations ----

It was a triangular type carriage with a large center wheel in the rear and
two arms that came up to fasten to each shoulder with a harness type thing.
The bars curved down behind the bearer (hiker) with cross framing to present
a platform upon which all gear rested.

Perhaps this was a dream or a vision deep from within my inventive psychic -
but an interesting thought or an easy experiment for someone with a brazier,
aluminum tubing and an old bike tire?

<(:|)I'm also looking for an alternative to carrying the 11x14 and kit into
<(:|)the woods.
<(:|)
<(:|)I haven't weighed it but in addition to the camera, I carry a Majestic
<(:|)tripod, 3 film holders, light meter(s), a film box with sample 11x14
<(:|)chromes for the curious, a black sweatshirt with arms removed and sewn,
<(:|)a Leica R8... all in an LL Bean type canvas bag....  what's a log book?
<(:|): )

<(:|)I'm thinking of big, big wheels of some sort.
