[QUOTE="ballarat_gold, post: 306621, member: 4880"] mate, im 36 and carrying the 6.5hp pump to bank anywhere is such a pain in the arse, makes me feel 66... If your handy with some tools, build a small sluice with hopper you can attach to an old backpack frame, small pump in your buckets in one hand, shovels and the like in the other hand ... Bringing your gear to water or a decent spot to bank from is always such a pain. I prefer to camp the night now if i head out banking. Drywasher's are your friend ... but same deal, you need octopus arms to carry all your stuff. Dont really think theres an easy way out apart from trolleys or carts, which can be just as much a pain as carrying stuff. Recruit a grandchild/nephew/son to go 'camping' and help carry your gear :) [/QUOTE]
