Exactly! A little creepy that we so often come up with the same
solutions, no?

At least we differ here, as I don't do those things. :-) The Canon
bag is strictly for transport. I use a LowePro PhotoRunner when out
tromping about. It works with good shoulder strap or hideaway belt as
fanny/spare tire pack. I have carried an OM-4 with zoom and two other
lenses in it, but generally the camera is around my neck or in my hand
and the PhotoRunner carries up lenses and accessories.

My backpack is often in a car trunk, mine or rented.

The PhotoRunner, and I assume similar bags, is good for that and also
for longer jaunts.
