Where can I find a cheap golf pull push cart and bag for me to put my Schonstedt & shovel in when I am surveying alone?
That way I can still carry my GPS rover rod with bipod in one hand, and then pull these other tools with the other hand from each boundary LOOK point to point...
I have tried Amazon and failed.

Wonder over to your local golf links and look like you know what you are doing. White shoes, checkered pants, polo shirt, straw fedora with a Nike emblem, you know that look.?ÿ Size up the pull carts outside of the bar to see what type is most used, strike up a conversation with a golfer or two about why your there. They probably have a couple back home in the garage that you can have. The ones by the rental center don't have handles and probably don't roll well from being dunked in a water hazard a few times.?ÿ You could ask in the pro shop if they have one in the lost and found. That happens, you might score a nice set of clubs that way.?ÿ?ÿ
A modern Granny Cart could be the go. (Although they may be more a British thing).
Put the head of the Schonstedt in the pan of the shovel, the hand balance points are hear the same for one hand carry; that and a tool belt free up your other hand to carry the bipod.
@richard-imrie granny cart, yes!

I have a nice lath bag, holds a tile spade, schonstedt, machete, stakes, shop hammer; it even has small pockets on the outside, to hold your hubs, flagging, and stake chasers. A nice, adjustable strap with a clip; that you carry like a quiver. Now you've got another hand free, so you can swing that machete.
I'll take a picture tomorrow; I was going to, today, but I got distracted and forgot...
@dougie I have one of those also, but don??t love having it on and off my shoulders at each corner. ?ÿSome sort of two wheeled cart is calling me. ?ÿDon??t you hear the siren call too?
I just bought this:

I hear ya; every tool has it's convenience. I would think a cart would be better, on less steep, less brush, smoother terrain. The lath bag works for the steep hillside; covered in Blackberry with big stumps and dead fall.
Just another day in the life of a surveyor...
Or you could haul your stuff around in a helicopter...
Remember that other recent trolley thread wherein some chap from FL suggested a trolley could be used as a bong.
So maybe it??s just me but I never had much luck with the tow behind golf bag carts when I used to golf a lot. Think I ended up giving mine away due to disgust with myself haha. I??m a horrible golfing handicap & always would end up in the hazards here in NC; typically wooded pine areas or some wetlands. So nowadays I??ve tried to make it enjoyable at least by renting an actual golf cart & loading up a cooler of beer first. If I??m going to be frustrated with the slice in my golf game or reading a green wrong then I might as well be enjoying myself rather than dragging a flimsy bag cart around through thicker areas. Plus you can always get into some foolishness on a golfcart ????ÿ
@ncsudirtman yes. ?ÿI am still waiting for permission from my boss to get one of these (while I do still appreciate my 1998 Honda Foreman ATV):
