The backpack won't work since anywhere I go that requires a backpack also involves things other than cameras (clothes, food, tent, ice axe, etc... the camera gear generally gets packed in waterproof bags with silica gel and then wrapped in a thick layer of clothing when it goes into my frame pack or day pack - the lenses also stay in their cases for extra protection when possible). The Commercial looks like a reasonable option though, and a rolling bag isn't a bad idea either.





I suppose I should have mentioned that I won't necessarily be carrying all my gear everywhere, since I generally take only what I anticipate needing for each situation... what I'm really after is something to store all of it for long(er) trips. I'll still be keeping my smaller bag (a Lowepro Nova 4) for shorter-term packing around of stuff.





Thanks for the replies.

One last thought concerning trips: If you're going to travel and other folks are going to manhandle your stuff, make sure all your components are shock-protected! A Pelican case works well when shipping sensitive camera gear because they come in many sizes and the foam internior can be made to conform to any array of odd-shaped items. The plastic shell is extrememly tough and water-sealed. They're not cheap, but you get what you pay for. If you're a real packrat and need to haul a lot, get an equipment trunk. I don't use one, but I hear they're handy for lighting and other bulky items (look at an SBC case with wheels).
