A challenge it is.. eight ultra portable channels of top notch quality.. but not impossible me thinks!

Eight small mic's like MKH8000 + 788T can basically be carried in the pockets of a big jacket.

Eight cables and a bunch of lightweight boom poles used creatively as mic stands can be carried in a small bag or back-pack.

Add to that one or two of the latest DSLR with HD-video capability and you can have a one man ultra portable surround audio/video rig with enormous potential. Heck you may even be able to fit a 0.5 meter Glidetrack to that.

Progress in digital and semiconductors has brought gear to the market that allow for things not even close to possible 10-20 years ago.
