How do you get straps on the thing to carry it, and WHERE would you get shoulder/hip straps to do that?

With power tools and a little imagination, you can make up a pack board suitable for carrying the totes.  Since I've got more time than money, this is the route I went this year.  Cut a piece of 1/4" plywood to fit the side of the tote.  Cut slots in the plywood large enough to run through 1" nylon strap (goes laterally around front of tote) and to run seat belts (vertically for pack straps). Buckle is left on seat belt to cinch around your waist.  A cushion cut to size makes it comfortable.
