I understand where you are coming from. I am 79 and have COPD and Parkinson's Disease which creates some mobility issues. I mainly do nature photography and need to get off the pavement most of the time. I experimented with roller camera bags (too small rollers, no seat) and 3 wheeled baby joggers (hold lots of gear, big wheels, but still no seat) and finally ended up with a rollator walker that satisfies the 3 requirements of gear, seat, and a limited off road capability and a reasonable weight and cost. I chose a Evolution Trillium walker from Amazon. It has 8 inch wheels that can be locked, and room for a DSLR and a couple of lenses, portable oxygen concentrator, water, light jacket and a snack. The wheel size is what determines your off the road capability - bigger is better to handle obstacles like sand, rocks and tree roots etc. It weighs ~15 pounds empty and folds up for placing in a vehicle or storage. Now to add a cane holder attachment for my monopod or tripod.
I have been extremely pleased with this setup as it allows me to practice my craft outdoors again!

I am overwhelmed with the amount of useful reply's almost 4 pages and only two reply's from people who must think old age and failing health is a joke, I am sure they will have their turn. Before I have to spend a bunch of money I will use what I have here. A two wheeled dolly with 8 inch wheels and a backpack and I will weld a seat on the dolly. Once again many many thanks for your reply's. REJ.
