I've been watching this thread waiting for the obvious and ideal solution
to be mentioned... but it hasn't. We're all too stuck on mechanical
solutions I guess.
The solution that's so obvious here is the one the photographers of old
used. Animals. Sized proportionately to the gear in question. 16x20
requires a Clydesdale. 11x14 gear could be strapped to a regular saddle
horse. 8x10 could likely get away with a pony or large mule. 4x5 of
course requires a miniature horse, which also makes a good pet for the
kids.
If the Groucho Marx quote is scalable, they might also make good changing
bags ("Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend; inside a dog it's
too dark to read"). Come to think of it, a larger dog might be able to
carry some of this gear as well. A friends husky carries his own camping
gear when out hiking....
