I am looking at buying a couple right now for all my camping gear. I want something relatively light so I can pack it tight and get away with 3 or socontainers of all my camping gear...like others my concern is wehn you get into sizable Pelicans they are heavy.
Walter (Rovercanus) had some nice ones, but the lip on the lid didnt go over the top of the box, it sat on top so it may leak in weather...something I would like to avoid...but they were awesome, with wheels and quite inexpensive.
I wonder what else is out there??????? Other than Pelican???
BTW - i have been stalking the gov liquidator sites for some used Armed Forces ones...

Ebay is a good source for them for cheap.

I don't see the point in using Pelican cases unless the items in them are:
A)Fragile
and
B)Worth at least several times what the Pelican case is worth OR are mission-critical.
My tools are waterproof and unbreakable. They go in a bag.
In all fairness, people existed before Pelican cases.Rugbier said:I wonder if you fuck up a river crossing when it is really cold and all your clothing gets wet , you will have the same opinion

A bag from West Marine kept my clothes dry when it was tossed from FLIP to a whaler and missed its target.

How many of you guys use them? Any specific applications you use them for primarily? Particular models you own or would like to own?
