For the reconstruction events I travel with two bags, one for the clothes (tunica, braccae, caligae, cingulum etc) and another for the mail shirt (lorica hamata) and the helmet, the pugio and gladius go tied up in the top of the clothes bag. I make a cover to my scutum and goes in the rear settle. The pila goes in car´s cabin. When I take my furca I go with two bags more. In the legio VIIII Hispana we use a car as "load donkey" with all equipment of varius legionaries and two legionaries in the front settles.
When I return from an event I have to face a complet unkeep for my equipment: horse grease for the caligae, cingulum and leather parts, press my mail rings, mineral oil to steel parts (gladius, pugio, pila) and clean the brass of the helment and cingulum. I lost a morning to do this.
