I gave up on bags - so built my Overlanding vehicle around my photography. All gear now resides beside me on a shelf - three bodies and lenses lying side by side.

time to get on a 12 step programGrrrr. I just picked up another bag. I’ve lost count on how many are in the herd.
My husband bought a garmin at REI.Great topic to add to this tread, what about survival gear. Last time I was 4 wheeling in Vermont and Utah, my cell phone didn't have signal on certain trails and areas.

There is a $35 a month charge but we are frequently out of cell service range. It’s small and easy to carry and you feel better having it for just in case.
I love my 200-400mm f4 but if I dont know what to expect then I'd rather take the 200-500mm - its much lighter and more expendable...Getting close to the holiday season and I'm thinking of getting a backpack (or one being gifted, once I decide). I know Steve has 2 video's on "WHAT'S IN MY BAG" for Africa, Costa Ric and explains the reason for his selection of his bag and what he has in it. Presently I have my Z9 with my 200-500mm (with a TC generally attached)in my Nikon CL-L2 in my truck ready to go with my monopod and looking to larger. I like the idea of having the lens attached with either my 200-500 or my 200-400 attached ready to go. So what is your bag of preference and why?
Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting,
Mark
I generally use my 200-400mm on most of my outings with the 1.4 or 2.0 TC.I love my 200-400mm f4 but if I dont know what to expect then I'd rather take the 200-500mm - its much lighter and more expendable...
Haven’t had to use it yet but it’s nice to know it’s there. No one ever plans to have an accident or emergency.I guess you are talking about the InEeach device. My brother had one while circumnavigating South America. While searching for penguins along the Argentinian coast he dumped his bike and was pretty seriously injured. The device detected the crash and started through its emergency procedures. A couple of farm hands came by and through him and the bike in the back of their flatbed truck. Somewhere along the way they were met by the ambulance that had been more, or less, automatically dispatched. So, the device worked as advertised and very efficiently. Long story made short, he was medevaced back to the US.
