How do you carry all your stuff?

[+hallycat]

I use a Mountainsmith Lumbar Pack similar to this one which is on sale at Campmor right now for only $24.00. It is very comfortable and can hold lots and lots of miscellaneous Geocaching stuff.

 

 

My camera is in a camera case attached to the waist belt in front so it is easy to get to. I carry the SWAG and TBs in another case also attached to the front of the waist belt.

 

I have that same pack and got it at Campmor too. I <heart> Campmor. Need to take a ride there one day, went to an event in NJ once on a Sunday near there and they were closed

 

It's kind of a pain though in the winter over a coat. I have been carrying stuff in the pockets of an EMS windproof jacket most of the winter and just throw a few TB's a trinkets in them along with my little Panasonic Lumix FX01 and my Palm M 505.

 

I want to look at a camera vest next time I am in NYC at B & H or Adorama. Or maybe a fishing vest. I am going to be driving by (yeah like I might not stop) a Cabela's on my way to Boston next month.

I bought a fishing vest and liked all the pockets but the one thing I could not do with it was find a good place to carry a pin to write with, I even had my wife put a botton hole on one of the flaps but it was too short of a pocket and the pen would barely hang on and I lost a couple and I use one that has a stylus and ink so they are not cheap. I finally got a camera shirt that has a pen pocket on it and I love it. So make sure what ever you get has a place for every thing you want to carry.

 

Right now I am thinking about getting a military load bearing vest (LBV) which is like a pair of suspenders with four pockets for ammo and two for grenades which might be cooler than the shirt I now wear. Just not sure if the pockets are too deep to be of much use.

Well at first I got this obviously because of the name, its called the "Pod" sling pack by MEC

I didn't realize at the time what a handy little bag it would be.

 

 

It has two "big" pockets, one of them is divided into smaller compartments for change (i always carry some foreign coins for trading) and pencils/pens for micros, the shoulder strap has a zippered pocket that is meant for a cell phone/MP3 player but fits my gpsr perfectly, plus lots of loops for carabiners, keys, and a water bottle pocket to top it all off!

 

Recommended to fellow Canucks, I am sure there is something similar in the USA!
