Anything better or more versatile than a Pelican case?

Awesome setup SAR. I will take a look at them this weekend.
 
Great looking truck and gear set-up!
 
dang, I thought I was already taking too much stuff on the trail, and now I'm gonna have to think about taking my jack stands along too...? sheesh.... thanks a lot!


:D
 
Plastic US surplus night vision cases are awesome. Usually around 30 bucks, stackable, and easy to strap down. Mine came with the foam inserts as well.

I got a bunch from amerisurp.net a while back, but recently I think they were listed on Sportsman's guide......
 
I like the Storm Hardigg cases and have used one for airline travel for about 2 1/2 years (or near that) ... it is the carry on size with wheels etc..but most frequently ends up in the hold....it takes a licking and keeps on ticking... I would and will buy another Storm case.

(when I bought it it was superior to anything Pelican had eg ball bearing wheels, folding comfortable handle, easy to operate locks ...that may have changed now but it has certainly lived up to my expectation)

Pelican are tough cases and their protection of gear goes beyond just water. Dust, impact and security is why I use them. Plus they're very comfortable to sit on when your stuck somewhere for a long period of time.

I've used duffle bags for years, but the gear always gets smashed, wet or just thrown about which results in lost time looking for gear.

I will agree that p-cases are heavy and bulky, but it's worth it when you can jsut grab the case you need and open it up with all your stuff organized.

Good luck.

What do you keep in all off those boxes that needs to be so well protected? Do you tow a trailer also? Food, clothing, cooking supplies take up a alot of my room. Do you keep it in those boxes? Curious if you cross deep water were it get wet back there?
 
cpg-

That shot is from my work vehicle and they contain different type of support equipment for operations.

My personal rigs are a 60, Samuari and a KLR650 (I use small cases on the bike) that I take out to Colorado and Moab and I have to set-up differently due to the carrying capacity of each. The large cases I carry camping gear, camp kitchen, clothing and parts. The smaller cases I use in the Sammy for tools, parts and a smaller box for cameras, c-phones and valuables. I've tried adding those pics but they're to large.

My thing is that I like things in order...I hate having to dig around a duffle bag and pulling stuff out to find something....also, the minute a duffle bag gets wet everything in it gets damp. I've used these things as tables, benches, stacked them as a ladder...left them out in the rain and snow to stay inside the rig to stay dry.

I don't have a trailer so can't speak to that....done water but nothing that has entered the truck(s).
 
Other case option

I won't take up too much of your board here, but I saw your discussion and wanted to be sure you knew about new injection molded cases from HPRC. They are 10-20% lighter than Pelican without compromising strength and durability. My only proof is that we have all the same performance certifications (military NATO STANAG 4280, DS 8141) and you can see it with your own eyes buy going to our site and clicking the video page. They've also performed well enough to be bought by the military.

I'm attaching a shot of our 2800W trunk case that you may be interested in. It's about 4 lbs lighter than the Pelican equivalent size and 1,000 cubic inches larger.

Thanks for letting me put in my 2 cents.

cool. thanks for the info. it's always good to know of other options.
 
these ammo cans are for a 25mm bushmaster cannon, there are 20 bullets per box, with two interior supports that are removable.

Thanks all for the information I wonder what else people will sugest?

Thanks

I like the action packers for cooking gear, dry food, etc. They are pretty cheap and very light weight. Main thing is they fit real nice and are easy to organize.

No to both. They will do a good job of keeping rain off of what is inside. But a driving rain at road speed will get in around the edges of these types of containers if they're left exposed to it.

FWIW, very very few, if any containers will keep scents in enough to keep animals from smelling them.
