How do you pack your dslr photography gear for a hike or backpacking trip?
For Christmas I got the camera and then right after I began looking for some kind of protective bag to keep it in. I finally settled on a daypack type bag, thinking it would be a great way to go on day hikes with my camera and keep it protected. It's highly padded with lots of compartments for filters, lenses, and extra batteries. There's a drawback though--if I take that pack, I have no hydration system, not much extra room for a jacket and lunch etc. So, I guess I'm just wondering what you all do when hiking, and also, extended trips such as backpacking. I'm thinking I'll just have the camera itself, some extra batteries, a couple of filters, and maybe two lenses, but I have no idea of the best way to pack this stuff along.
