I've been two years so far and the first year I borrowed luggage cart and the next year I didn't. This year I went ahead and bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HBH1BM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

If you can afford to get one or maybe borrow one from a friend it's definitely worth it. Making two trips and lugging your monitor/case through the line and to your seat pain in the ass.

If you can hire professional packers, do so! I have hired professional movers for the past 6 moves, and the last move I also added having them pack the kitchen (20 boxes of cast iron and stoneware, no thanks!) and it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it.

If you can't hire some or all of the work, take it in stages. Assembling a box is a stage. Filling a box is a stage. Putting the labeled box on the box stack is a stage. Just keep repeating. And consider "deconstruction" like taking down drapes, taking shelves off walls, etc as individual stages also.

I have a small hand truck like this and my strategy was to assemble a box and set it on the cart. Fill the box, tape it shut, label it. Assemble another box and set it on top. Fill it, label it, tape it shut. Repeat til I had 3-4 boxes on the cart, then I'd wheel the cart over to where I was stacking all the packed boxes and slide them off the cart. This worked especially well for things like books and CDs and other heavy items. Also as someone mentioned, it helps to gather like items onto a table, so for example I rounded up all the breakables to the kitchen counter (stage 1) then wrapped them and packed them into boxes (1 box worth at a time) and then moved them over to my completed stack.

Having moved a lot of times in the past 10 years, I usually prefer to get all the packing and moving over and done with in about a 10 day stretch, as dragging it out for 2 months (which happened with the last move) just makes it feel like it will never be done. But on the other hand I'm not sure I'd have had the energy this time around for my usual whirlwhind, so it was nice to have the time to work in stages before work, at lunch, and after work.

I say go for the bus and bring one of those foldable dolly's that fold flat (like $30 at a hardware store).

You can both take turns pulling the dolly that will easily hold 2 suitcases strapped to it with bungee cords. Then if each of you both have a 2nd bag that is either rollable or wearable like a backpack you'll be fine. Just go slow and take breaks. Stop by camps that you pass along the way and make friends on your breaks.

it could be a long walk, but it'll be bearable if enough of your gear rolls :) IMO renting a car if you don't have to is way too much work in terms of cleaning it afterwards and risking a deposit/cleaning bill. Plus on your way out you may bypass a lot of traffic, but who knows since the shuttle thingee is new.

A rifle rest. Trying to prop my rifle up on my bag and sandbags was a nightmare, taking an otherwise unused bipod (and the accompanying rail section) on and off my handguards was a pain in the ass, I finally bought one of these and have since zeroed all of my rifles effortlessly.

A two-wheeler / hand truck. The worst part of every range trip is carrying shit to and from the car from the last spot in the parking lot. My ammo can, rifle bag, and spotting scope all fit on this hand truck with a couple of bungee cords and just leave my target stand to haul out manually.

A quality target stand. My range sells cardboard A-frame target stands that blow over in a light breeze, sag when they get wet, and are too short to shoot at less than 25 yards or so, which was certainly too far for me to make any use of with a handgun. I built a square-framed two-legged target stand out of 2x2s and PVC pipe to remedy the situation, but it's a heavy bastard made of smooth, droppable surfaces and 6-foot lengths of ungainliness. I picked up the Range-Pro and now all I have to do is stick a pair of 2x1s in and staple away. I'd also say the Juggernaut is probably worth the extra dosh, the Range-Pro is a little unstable on the front-to-back axis if you're on uneven ground in the wind.

Sight Adjustment Tools (AK / AR). Quit dicking around with that cartridge (or in the case of the AK, that flint and piece of whale bone) and get the tool. The AR tool is also good for Tech Sights.

A one-piece rifle-length cleaning rod. I actually picked mine up (mine was a nylon number, not the model linked) from Wal-Mart for about $7, and it's a huge improvement over the 3-4 piece brass rod you get with every cleaning kit. No dicking around with thread adapters or having the rod too inflexible to get down an AK barrel from the breach, you just stick your brush / jag on the end and go, and it's maybe a third of the weight. Side note: Wal-Mart sells AK cleaning rods by the 10-pack, just in case you're a fucking lunatic.

Okay OP is this for looks or you trying to solve a practical problem?

If this for a practical reasons, what would a model train solve that one of these couldn't?

I found this handy guide

It just requires a small battery/generator.For ease of use i've seen people strap their amp and battery to a hand cart

Like others have said, you may want to cut down a bit and get a cart. I Just ordered this one

If you want, Here's my list.

I'll lay out how it was done last year for you.

The sooner you got there, the closer you were to the camping entrance both in parking AND campground. Until the parking filled up, then you could be closer yet to the dreamville entrance AND the festival entrance (they kept the closest parking lot to the campground closed at first).

They would not let you move past rope lines in the campground for setting up camp until all the space they had opened was full.

BRING A WAGON WITH AIR FILLED WHEELS.

By the end of the walk from the car to where we set up our tent my wife was in tears. It felt like some kind of death march. We only had one of these and it is NOT good enough.

Just get this, you can then use it to move other things and won't have to drill into your case. Just get some bungee cords to hold it in place when moving.
