[PLUG-AV] Equipment Boxes, inventory, networking

[Leon Wright]

Lowepro have a bunch of different cases + bags. My main thoughts were to
make our kit more portable. Currently it fills Nick's entire car and we
have to rely heavily on a small number of people to store a large amount of
kit. If it was more portable and we rationalised what we bring, with a bit
of fore planning we could get a couple of bags out to members in advance of
an event, which they can just chuck on their backs, rock up and have a
working setup.

This is the bag I have, but they have plenty of others in the range.
