Transporting the pack

[CannuckTK]

Ok so a while back I converted my TK to a HWT, but the original Husky has no space for the pack, what do you guys use for transport? I’m looking for a bin solution where I can put a lock on it?

I usually wear it in to changing area while I drag my bin in tow with BFG case strapped to top of that.

 

Now I think about it we drag a lot of stuff in

 

A pack might fit in the short Husky bin. Never really thought about a case since it's on me the whole time.

 

Good Luck in your search

I do the same.  Wear it in, while wheeling my big Husky case with the rest of my stuff.  T21 gets bungeed to the top of the Husky case.

 

I don't think I would do this if I was going to have to leave everything in an unsecured area for a long period of time.  Usually, though, I can lock the bin itself while I troop, wearing the armor.  So my personal clothing and stuff stays behind, locked in the bin.

Normally what I’d do but I have multiple costumes, hence the need for a short husky case

I keep it strapped to the top of my bin with bungees (one in each direction) and carry my T-21 on my shoulder.

Thanks for all the help! I managed to pack my armour and pack in my husky (years of Tetris paid off) and fit the DLT in a fairly solid suitcase which is now holding my Imperial Staff Officer uniform as well as my emergency repair kit; duck tape, glue gun extra Velcro and straps!

 

Thanks again all!

I would do that, but I really don't want to get the cops called about a guy carrying a big gun around, so I went with the blaster laying down on the bin as being somewhat less obvious!

I have only been stopped by the police once, (at a police sponsored event, actually).  They wanted to check out my T-21 not for security, but because they thought it was cool.  They got a kick out of the fact that it is made from rubber, and got a laugh when I reminded them that even if it were real, Stormtroopers are not known for their accuracy.

Downside to living in California, as opposed to Florida, perhaps.

 

Your version of events happens, too, of course, but people here can be (pardon the expression) trigger-happy (LOL) here about anything remotely resembling a gun.

 

Not that we'd actually get in trouble, in the end, but who wants to risk Swat showing up because some moron can't think clearly and got scared?  It's a bit different once your fully-kitted up.  But a big guy with a bin and a big gun can be misinterpreted too easily.  Safer (and frankly, just as easy) to strap the blaster and wear the pack.
