Never ending pursuit, the perfect bag.
For hiking I don't bring a camera bag. Instead I use a backpack depending on
size needed. I prefer something that carries the weight on my hips. I have a
Mountatinsmith lumbar bag with extra shoulder straps. I have an Osprey Raptor
14, and a Patagonia backpack. Both the Osprey and the Patagonia can have a
water bladder. Water is essential here in Arizona. With the Mountainsmith, I
can strap a tripod on the bottom, but I never seem to use it. It has side
pockets for water bottles.
B&H had a deal on a new Sony camera that came with a think tank Retrospective 7
V2.0 for free. I really like that for shoulder bag. It is also pretty light,
lighter than the equivalent Tenba Cooper 13 slim, but they are not a hiking bag.
I much prefer hydration bladder over water bottles.
And trekking poles come along. Not sure they can deter a bear though.
I would like a nice sling bag for some situations.
