Ok, that will work for when I can drive to the site.
Do you have any suggestions for when I must travel light?
I found lugging over 100 pounds of gear with me on my last
business trip for one night of shooting was alot of overhead
(but what a night!). I typically set up cameras on tripods,
often at some distance from my rental car, and from each other
for that matter. Is there a battery system that can drive
a dew heater all night without adding serious weight to
my luggage? I've probably answered my own question,
there is no free lunch.
