I am one of the exceptions, since most of my kit is more aligned to recording music, while I have portable stuff and  use it, things like my 32 track mains powered recorder, mixers and rack mounted gear don't really fit into the outside environment as they stand.There are people out there who do precisely what you are wanting to do, though I suspect that most have far bigger budgets and rarely read this forum.Also for those starting out there is a steeper learning curve for audio, you can buy a Canon slr, bang a Canon long lens on it and start getting bird photos of variable quality almost immediately, audio is rarely that simple until you have been playing with it for a bit. It isn't that audio is more difficult, its just that manufacturers produce a greater number of variations of kit that needs to be carefully matched together to get best/any results. Anyway, have a good Labor Day and it will be interesting to see how it all comes together.</blockquote>
