I think I've got the same one -- about $150, triangular, full of places to
put tools, and rubber straps to hold things in place.  I love it, even
though my property is such that I can't conveniently take it exactly where
I want it.  I bring it as close as I can, and then make short trips to it,
instead of going back and forth to the garage endlessly.  Mine is made from
cherry plywood, and was easy to assemble.  It stores more tools in a small
piece of the garage than anything else I can imagine, and is portable to boot!

Having said that, though, I am about to commandeer an old plastic mailbox
to hide in the garden for some hand tools, pencil and paper, plant markers
and indelible pens, some ribbon to mark plants with, and maybe even a
transistor radio, so that I can do things spur of the moment when
inspiration strikes.
