For the past 15 years or more, I have used one or another version of the
following:

The HOOVER® COMMERCIAL PORTAPOWER�  LIGHTWEIGHT  MODEL C2094

See it at the very bottom of the following web page:

The hose can be attached to the air outlet for blowing. I think this thing
is just about perfect for what I need in the way of a field vacuum.

The last time I bought one, I think I paid about $140. I leave the wands and
most of the attachments at home, carrying only hose, crevice tool, and the
smallest brush tool. I wouldn't be without it.
