What sort of apparatus she pulls is not the problem. What I'm thinking
about is what sort of contents. A possibility would be my jump kit,
and maybe a few gallons of water when I'm Chirurgeoning, however I
usually set up a Point at my forge for outdoor events, and dogs aren't
usually welcome at indoor events. Waterbearing is a Good Thing, but
not a good idea for bad backs, so my contribution is to usually set up
a Water Point near wherever I'm smithing. I now have 2 5 gallon
beverage containers for that purpose, but I guarantee you, neither of
us is hauling them around.

Kewl ideas are all very well, but they need a useful purpose, like the
young man with hauling the garbage.
