He is very efficient and can get everything out and in a few minutes he's painting! The rubbermaid container ideas came from him. I've tried to put my paints in plastic bags but the bags always get caught on something in the bag and rip. I stole the car visor idea after watching Marc Hanson using that trick during our flint hills paint out. I have a lighter set up for backpack hiking that I've been meaning to post. I use the Alla Prima Pochade 6x8 with an 8x10 extender. The pochade holds 4 6x8s or 8x10s so don't even need the Raymar carrier in the pack. That will be my set up in Jackson Hole because I'll hike about 2-4 miles in to paint.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337333152617169472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366253997165945345.post-74729058173150700752012-06-08T13:11:09.676-05:002012-06-08T13:11:09.676-05:00I have always considered myself a fairly efficient...I have always considered myself a fairly efficient plein air painter with everything neatly in its place in my backpack, but oh my gosh you put me to shame. I am bookmarking this segment so I can continue to go back to it and it will be required reading for all my workshop attendees henceforth.If you don't mind I would like to add your blog link to my bloq.Rusty Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043601706280681675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366253997165945345.post-11284115020043475052012-04-26T08:54:32.749-05:002012-04-26T08:54:32.749-05:00Hi Rae,

Had to look at their site to see what they were about - looks interesting and does look like it wouldn't take up much room. Similar to home made carriers I've seen friends use, where one glues two very small profile frames together, face to face. The profile keeps the wet panels apart. You put the paintings in face down, then rubberband them in place. I've thought about making some of these for myself. Thanks for the info!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337333152617169472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366253997165945345.post-11023876325461496982012-04-26T08:48:34.518-05:002012-04-26T08:48:34.518-05:00I have three plein air umbrellas at home, and that...I have three plein air umbrellas at home, and that's where they usually stay. I brought one with me to Wisconsin for the Door Co. Plein Air. That was in July and it was pretty calm up there. But in open ranchland areas where nothing is slowing the wind down they don't work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337333152617169472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366253997165945345.post-85145070469081270462012-04-25T09:51:19.416-05:002012-04-25T09:51:19.416-05:00Have you tried the panelpak carrier?

I frequently tuck a couple of sizes in and because it takes up so little room I get away with a smaller backpack.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664750692069973994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366253997165945345.post-19469449546306123672012-04-25T08:52:38.609-05:002012-04-25T08:52:38.609-05:00Thanks Kim, that sunvisor is a great idea, especia...Thanks Kim, that sunvisor is a great idea, especially where I live, the umbrella thing would be a laugh.Pattie Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133673088793154979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366253997165945345.post-62213713975110252332012-04-25T08:44:16.876-05:002012-04-25T08:44:16.876-05:00Great info-----Thank you KimGreat info-----Thank you KimJoe Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518696923237386705noreply@blogger.com
