Don I would suggest a PELICAN CASE. Its airtight, which means no dust gets in, and no water. I know it floats even with all of my gear. I learned that by misfortune last September with my 2 Leicas. My boat hit a wave and sunk. Too small for the ocean, oops.
You can also drive a Ford Bronco, the same type OJ drove, the big one on top of it. They come in all sorts of sizes, some different colors, and you can custom fit your stuff in it. 150.00 bucks is all I spent for mine and I am brutal. I bought mine from a little warehouse in Des Moines. HH Leiserowitz or something like that. Check the Pelican website and give them a call. When you go in there, they have a wall of photography stuff, they have special order books that save me money, often comparable to BH photo but I dont pay the shipping. Many of the guys in there are old. I think 2 of them were in the concentration camps in Germany. I dont know much about their religeon, but sometimes I wonder if one of them will fall over on me, while helping me- a little old and frail on 2 of them in particular. I pray that never happens. I do know that old people are stubborn, some of you are in here. Golly I am wicked.
Btw the pelican case is a little heavier, but you got arms and legs, and judging by your pictures, most of them do not look like you have been going on 5 mile hikes and longer with the camera gear. But then again I like industrial strength everything. Especially my Duct tape.
