Carrying all your stuff

[johnc86]

I want something with wheels this year. Iv had enough of struggling with all my stuff while the clever dick's stride past pulling all their tent's and back pack's and crate of beer on a golf trolley (or similar) with relative ease.

Golf trolley aside, what else do u use for this?

I hire a band of slaves and whip them if they aren't slaving fast enough.

The consensus on other threads of this kind seems to be for sack barrow type trollies with pneumatic wheels, easier to pull through rough terrain and less likely to fall to bits if you get a decent one. DIY shops like B&Q sell em.

I've ordered a fair bit of the bulky stuff off of Joe Bananas and will pick it up there and then - taking my own tent and that because I know it's decent, but for the rest, it'll make life a lot easier.

yea, sack trucks seem to be the choice

i need to get myself one this year

[joshwarrr]

i take my stuff on my back. my dad brings a sack barrow with him and takes a lot of stuff on there, beer mostly. there pretty good. but make sure you get a decent one.

ive never used a sack truck, just carried it all, and im fedup! i want the life of luxury!, easily strolling along with a sack truck doing the hard work and not my back/arms

one thing that really helped me last year was those old lady trolleys (you see them at the co-op walking around with these oversized material (tartan usually) trolleys. I load all my cider in there and i'm good to go! works a charm i tell you!

last year was my first time, we decided to carry everything from the car in one go, not a good move!

bought a sack barrow for this year, looks like it should cope with the terrain!

i think theyre over rated. it still takes a lot of bloody effort if youve got a lot of stuff.

may take mine for some of our stuff, but ill probably decide against it.

took a wheelbarrow one year but had to leave it behind cus there was no room on the bus (it was a very sad day)

my friend took a granny trolley last year and that worked brilliantly and fitted in the hold on the way home!

many people took wheelie bins when they first came to be, dont know how sucessful these were, but imagine they fitted a lot of stuff in them.

barrow trolleys are best tho i recks!

Sack trucks certainly seem to be the way to go, my only consern is getting one (strapped up to the nines with none but the heaviest of beers) onto a coach (i.e. the shuttle from Bristol). How big are these things? Are they practical for folk coming by train or coach (or in my case both)?

Posted this on another thread.....

I've been using a fold away trolley, similar to the one below for 9 festivals now. It's still going strong even though it's been through knee high mud, flood water and all that sh*t. It has had upto 5X18 crates on it also, mine cost £30. Just search 'fold away trolley' intae google and you'll find them.....

Another vote for sack trucks, the bigger the wheels the better. Probs with granny trolleys is they're completely useless in even the most meagre amount of mud. Even sack trucks are useless if it gets like 07, wheels just clog with mud so you're dragging it as opposed to rolling it :/

As good as the B&Q trucks are (especially for the money), the twin handles make them a bit tricky to pull behind you. I prefer the ones with a central handle for dragging all my junk on site...

(cant believe i've just posted on the merits of different sack trucks... i need help!)
