OK heres a couple more suggestions:

The first and most crucial one has already been mentioned, but it's so very important I will say it again. Get out and prepare your plant sites right away and do not wait until you bring out the plants. It will take much longer than you think, and you do not want to be hanging around that long when you are transporting something illegal like weed seedlings. Also you do not want to be in a rush because thorough preparation is critical in getting good results. Remember that it takes time for these amendments to start to rot / compost in the soil. Next I suggest a fold up type camping shovel if bringing in a full size shovel is not practical. Personally, I would skip the fishing line, the cat hair, and all that kind of stuff. You should not need any of it. I suggest starting seedlings in very large size deep plastic cups. Then tape over the top around the stem to keep the dirt from falling out if they get tiped in transport. Then take another cup the same size, put it on top and tape around the spot where the two cups join and make it like a self contained unit. This works if your plant height is not higher than the depth of the cup and thats why I say large DEEP cups. You can pack a half dozen of these in a small duffel bad or medium napsack. You also need to bring in enough water to water them about 16 oz or .5 liter each. You should bring in some high grade plant mix to go right around each one too. This is why I would only do three each trip. You can then return to the car or home or wherever and get another 3 , etc. For tips on the original preparing of the beds look at some other recent posts of mine. I would not rely on a compass, but I do highly recomend gettting a cheap hand held GPS to mark your spots. Things will look a whole lot different when everything around the area starts to grow, and its easy to get confused. Other suggestions:
timed release ferts, water crystals (crucial), lime if soil is acidic (low PH). A fert meter and a PH meter are great tools also.

Good luck

The Question of Transport on game day So here's how I'm thinkin it'll go: I get a backpack, put a small shovel, fresh water, fresh soil all in that, and carry one suitcase in each hand. Some sunglasses and fresh water (to drink) for good measure, a compass and some fishing line. The suitcase would have to be one that's fairly wide so as to allow for 4-5 small pots with the plants each, so that's 8-10 total. I find two sites at least 250 meters apart, mark the boundaries with domestic cat hair (will this keep out predators or Rating: 5
