How much stuff do you regularly haul around?

This is the back of my Explorer every day...

3 ball buckets
1 Bownet and folding tee
1 Boombah catcher's bag
1 Demarini backpack
1 Large Easton bag with assorted fitness/agility gadgets
1 Folding cart
2 Folding chairs
1 32 oz water bucket
Misc. random bats
Misc. empty to mostly-empty water and sports drink bottles

For multi-game days, there will be an ice chest and 10'x10' popup added to the pile.

Groceries go in the back seat.

Is this a loaded question or what? Ok I had to throw the pun in there. But I carry 2 folding chairs, fold up wagon, DD Boombah Bag, standard bucket dad buck full of balls, catchers mitt, 75 Ball hopper full of tennis balls, 6 racquet tennis bag and a water jug and my duffle bag of workout clothes. Whats more impressive is I get this into my Prius.

Two DDs Two different Teams, I wish I could fit all my crap in an explorer. I also wish I was as good as you at the art of proper suv packing. The back of my suburban looks like I loaded it with catapult.

Got pics?

My "system" is pretty specific. One thing out of place, and it doesn't work.

Had to chuckle. I was at my oldest DD's college registration yesterday. We were at the car, it was very hot and she was extremely thirsty. She asked if I had any water, so I popped the trunk. I hear her, "Here's one with some water in it. Oh, here's another partially full bottle. Okay dad, I got three partials now."

When I got back there, I decided that I need to have her youngest sister do a bit of trunk cleaning.

Let's see... At the most, for my Rec team I have:
Various gallon water jugs
SKLZ quick net
SKLZ click bat
Hit stick
2 batting tees
3 buckets of softballs
Team equipment bag
Small plunger
a basketball
bucket with tennis balls and various whiffle balls
my DGD's equipment bag
Small foam bat
Water bottles

Trouble is that I DJ and I was always pulling all the equipment out and replacing it with sound equipment, then switching it back again.

So, last month we go on a vacation. At the last minute my dad offers us his brand new car to use. I will give him my Nissan Frontier (mid size crew cab) to use while we are gone. Time for a quick clean out. 17, yes seventeen water bottles come out of my truck. We had three tournaments in a row, plus practices just before our vacation. Most of the bottles were half full, tucked in every possible spot in the truck! There was about a pound of dirt, a few socks and a lot (sad) of fast food wrappers also taken out. I usually keep my truck spotless, but a month of softball builds up. I was, and am now still smiling. I would not change that for anything!

Looks like my Durango. I am going to get a Thule roof carrier installed soon. I figure I can fit my 9 y/o son and a pillow in it.

Well I carry a cart 2 or sometimes 3 buckets of softballs. 1 or 2 buckets of wiffle balls, a set of heavy throw down bases. 1 bow net, 2 tees, a random amount of half empty water bottles and im sure im missing somethings out. Now all of this is in the back of my Element but DD also carries hee catchers bag diamond gear box across the back floor.
