Dekard Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 I know many of us with TK's used the full size husky tote - does the half size tote work for a Scout? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-25-Gal-Connect-Rolling-Tool-Box-249208/314213514?fbclid=IwAR2isSEaxvx0kH32kG30zIVMm3eZ-l7C3BHb0cM9AocjB2Z4QYWL_6VAh1s

I've been using one of these since 2014: https://www.zoro.com/sterilite-blackred-storage-tote-25-34-in-x-17-14-in-x-11-78-in-h-1-pk-14649006/i/G8179309/ 1
Aradun Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 I went with the Husky 35 Gal. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-35-in-Rolling-Tool-Box-222167/205053257It fits my entire kit and the utility tray is nice because it keeps things like my lint brush, emergency repair stuff, my trading cards, imperial citations, etc. all nice and secure.Mickey’s tote is good to because you can just pick it up and go and not have to worry about navigating escalators or waiting for elevators at cons and the like.Just keep in mind that every tote is configured a little different and sometimes even though two totes might be the same volume, an inch or two shorter in w, l, or h can make all the difference in whether everything fits.There’s a thread here where scouts shared what they use to haul their gear if you want some ideas.http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/21153-packing-for-deployment/&tab=comments#comment-193523 2

THIS EXACTLY. Can't tell you how many times troopers with giant rolling totes get stacked up at an escalator and I just pick my bin up, lift it over my head, and go around them. Ain't nobody got time for that. For the times when I do need to roll it, I just bought a cheap dolly from Home Depot for $25. But my entire kit fits in that bin, including the helmet, and plenty of room for trading cards, blasters and other trooping necessities.
Aradun Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 [mention]BikerScout007 [/mention] see, I DID paid attention to your sage advice, and am always ready to share it. I didn’t heed it, but I did pay attention . Truth be told I should have. I was thinking of you on Tuesday, as I tried to navigate two flights of escalators for the first time . 1
Dekard Posted July 23, 2021 Author Posted July 23, 2021 Thanks!! Looks like Husky has stopped making the 35 inch - now just the 50 or the 24.
