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.
