Hey gldguy1, I already passed along to you an idea for a take down sluice with the 6"/8" perforated pipe. So instead of a back pack, how bout a trapping basket? you could probably get one made of nylon or if not put a liner in a wooden one. You could use it to carry your material to your sluice instead of three 5 gal buckets. These trapping baskets have shoulder straps and can carry quite a payload. ButchSo I'm thinking about trying to hide my sluice 3 gallon buckets and pans in a back back to look like a regular hiker not like I'm about to go prospect. Anyone else have a similar set up by chance
