I'm cleaning up after photographing a friend's party last night. As often
happens, when it came time to leave, things got "put away" in a manner much
closer to expediency than organization. This means that I have to pretty much
unpack everything, and put it away where it belongs.
The good news
Cardboard poster tubes for umbrellas and soft boxes (assuming that your soft
boxes pull apart like mine do). Unfortunately I don't have a good idea for
stands or tripods.

Maybe appropriately sized PVC piping and end caps? Or, if you don't
need so much sturdy, cardboard tubes.

Velcro strap pairs connected by some webbing can tote several stands at a time
until the velcro gets too dirty to hold well.
For more stability a safety, a 3 foot dowel or 2x2 with a handle and four
velcro straps will carry 3 or 4 light stands.

It's not very clever, but I bought a case made by Tenba just for the
purpose. It hold 2 light stands, a tripod, and a monopod and has a
zipper compartment for all the cords, pocket wizards and other misc.
There is a long divider that rolls out from the base so that you can
keep things from banging
Not terribly clever, but when I'm not using them, I keep stands,
umbrellas & tripod in a (clean) trash can in a closet in my studio.
When I take them somewhere, they go into a duffle bag (an old-school
canvas hockey bag)... This system is easy-peasy, even for a slob like
me.

I do not have lighting stands nor umbrellas but I do have a tripod so not
sure this advice will be helpful. I have never played golf but would an old
golf bag work and how about reusing the bags that some of the canvas type
fold up chairs come in.

Before I got an extra large duffel bag from a camping store, I used to
steal the bags that our folding chairs live in, so your idea is sound
and has been proven in the field, Jeffrey. They are good for one stand
and umbrella plus a few doodads. They come with a great shoulder handle

If only life was so simple, Tim.
If you have even light falling equally on both subject and background,
the fastest glass will not find contrast to lift your subject from the
background and give the image life. So you can either darken your
background or add light to your subject, and the lat

Agreed, but the painter's drop cloths I was thinking about aren't very
heavy. I've made slipcovers out of them before on my machine without
a problem.
All of which begs the question of whether it would be a worthwhile
endeavor in the first place, though. Might be better to go with a
heavier-duty

You can probably buy crutches in all sizes in those same stores . . .

As I believe I threatened a few days ago, I bring you the best photo taken
during the latter years of my skiing days. The image taken by a friend of mine
in the Navy in the mid 60s. For those of you who are my FB friends, you can see
this in one of my photo albums there. For the rest of you -
