I'm curious, regardless of which box, would you put the box in a pack or just hump it over the portages using the attached handles.  I'm a "pack guy" so the idea of a box is alien to me.

Hand carrying something of that size and loaded weight sucks. I know because that's what we did the first year when we called it a foodbox. Next year I added shoulder straps. It helped a lot but it flopped around on more difficult portages so the next year I added a hip belt and it became a foodpack that even my wife doesn't complain about portaging. Plus it's hard so things don't get crushed as well as a welcome seat/table.

Just to reiterate, I use a (what? 30yr old?) Rubbermaid roughneck. Not as strong as what's being discussed here but lighter and a whole lot cheaper. Oooh and it must be smell/bear proof too since one's never compromised mine.  :P :D

Love the axe strikes in that video but they don't say how much it weighs either.
