My wife any I used to go on week-long backcountry treks in Northern CA, but since I got back into photography only after having kids, we really haven't done any backpacking where I needed to carry camera gear. But if I were to do that again, I'd definintely pack the camera gear inside a good internal frame pack (Osprey, etc.), rather than using a dedicated camera backpack. I'd likely pack the camera gear in neoprene pouches like those from LensCoat for protection (I have a couple of LensCoat BodyBag Pros, one for the body only which actually holds the 1D X with the 40/2.8 mounted, and another for body with standard lens that works for the 1D X + 24-70 II), and put them in with the clothes. That would allow good protection and better flexibility for load distribution.
