Anyone using anything special when you go out , to keep your tools somewhat organized ? I know there are nice organizers for at home but not seeing much for outings .

I thought Milwaukee made a two wheel dolly type base..? Just the big box with wheels eh?I've only just started buying some Milwaukee packout and have been impressed with them. However, I still don't have the ability to make them all that mobile easily since I don't have the wheeled base box because I don't have any use for a big empty box on wheels.
ToughBuilt Stacktech looks very promising and they plan on coming out with a wheel drawer base later this summer. If that happens I'll probably be dropping my packout and switching over to them.
Yes, Milwaukee also has a dolly type base as well, but I have yet to find a single person who speaks positively about it. Reviews I've seen is its poorly built and not worth the money. It's also much wider than most dolly/ hand trucks which can be an issue in some cases.I thought Milwaukee made a two wheel dolly type base..? Just the big box with wheels eh?

I currently have a couple of the packout drawer boxes and several organizers, both full and half sizes. I really do like them but looking for a wheeled base system with either a drawer or may make my own using a dolly from Harbor Freight and making my own packout base for it.
That is, unless the ToughBuilt base comes out this summer like they say it will.
Then I'll sell all the packout stuff and go full ToughBuilt. The boxes that are currently out are very nice, and they have a massive selection incoming, supposedly very soon.
A drawer base makes far more sense and usability, at least for me, than a big empty box like Packout offers.

I found this at Harbor Freight... granted its small, but fits all the tools and common spare parts I would normally take with me on an outing. Open the lid and fill it with every spare metric hardware I have.

Cheap $20 tool box
I kept my eyes open for an organizer like this for a while....always more money than I wanted to pay. I've found that the actual amount of tools to do a quick repair is minimal, couple of hex drivers, sockets, pliers, impact driver, etc.... deciding which spare parts not to bring is the downside of a small tool box.Plano makes a few different sizes of these, you can still find them every now and then online. https://www.planooutdoors.com/guide-series-stowaway-rack-system-1598471

I have this it works well I just wish it had better organizers for tools and small parts.Walmart has a packout type system by Hart brand. Much cheaper than milwuakie but works just as good
I use fishing fly and lure cases for the small stuff. Wrench rolls are great for wrenches and screwdrivers, and I have blow molded socket set that fits perfectly in the big box. I have 2 smaller boxes on top. One for parts, one for transmitters.I have this it works well I just wish it had better organizers for tools and small parts.
