For those of you that pack your camera gear in daypacks, or other large bags for hiking. Can I see some pictures of how you have outfitted said bag to carry your camera gear snugly? Thanks!

You can add lens cases to your waist belt as well. I'm also toying with the idea of using my Boda in the same fashion. You can use the chest strap setup they include, but you can also rig your own strap/clips so the bag is attaches in place of your sternum strap which makes it the ideal setup. The other option is a cotton carrier  type setup (something I'll be ordering as soon as they're in stock again) but then your camera is exposed, and when backpacking that only takes care of 1 camera/body realistically, you'll still need lens cases on your belt.hopefully one of those ideas works for you. I'm pretty active and ALWAYS have my camera with me so I've tried a lot of different options. The chest bag, either on it's own harness or strapped in as a sternum is what I've used the most. Mine fits either 1 large tele on body or 2 medium zooms (standard and wide). I then put the other in the pack, but that's why I've been playing with the boda as it would hold all 3 of my zooms (it does, I just haven't used it hiking yet). My Gear List
