All my bags (three) are 20-year-old LowePros, though I'm considering one of
the bigger Tamracs for the medium format gear. Despite my good luck so
far, I always carry spare batteries. There are 357s in every camera bag,
in my photo vest, in the fanny pack I often use, even in the console of the
SUV camera transporter. Maybe it's my paranoia that's kept me safe.
