For those of you that hike with your photo gear, how do you do it? I've tried various solutions through the years, but nothing has been satisfying to date - I have ended up trying a lot of different bags. For years before buying an ILC, I carried nothing but a P&S with a collapsible lens in a pocket in my cargo pants. The gear was minimalist, but the IQ just wasn't what I wanted. For some time now I've been carrying two cameras, but I'm planning to cut that back to a single camera (Fuji X-T1), and maybe one extra lens. The X-T1 is not a large camera, but a lens does add some bulk. I have been using a Lowepro waist pack, but I may go back to just slinging the camera on a strap around my shoulder and putting the extra lens in a pocket in my backpack. My hikes can be anywhere from 4 miles to 10+, and I would really like to minimize what I carry. I've stopped carrying a tripod, replacing it recently with a tiny Pedco Ultrapod II. Any other ideas for minimal gear, maximum productivity? The backpack isn't a camera pack, by the way. I use it to carry a large water bottle, snacks, first aid kit, emergency gear, etc.
