What Photo Gear to Take on a Backpacking Trip

[myallegro31]

That neat little rope invention can also be substituted for this really neat thing called a lens strap. I plan on backpacking for a year this coming OCT. 2 bodies, 3 lenses (10-24mm, 28-300mm, 50mm) Gitzo traveler tripod, assorted small stuff (batteries, cards, etc...) plus all the necessary backpacking gear. That extra body wouldnt kill you. What happens when your camera decides to stop working your first day in?

dude you have no lens caps... really hurts me to see that..

[spartin215]

what kind of tripod was that?

Yeah the harness is the best thing. Much more comfortable than those across-the-chest things, where you're sweating on your gear all day!
