As I do it now, the photo stuff goes in the PhotoRunner as waistpack. It
easily moves around for access or to be out of the way. (That's probably
why the Flipside appeals to me.) Other stuff for a longish wander would
go in a different bag, like a small backpack.
Mostly, though, although I don't subscribe to the 500 yard theory, photo
hikes aren't more than 2-3 hours and a jacket can tie around my waist
and water hang from my belt.
