that's alot of gear to be carrying while hiking, looks like your camping

Until a year ago, three of my friends and I went on annual camping trips together. I'm the type who likes to be prepared for everything and be self-sufficient, so on our day hikes I always carried everything I need in case of survival/emergency situation, plus my camera gear, even if they were easy, one-hour loop type of hikes. This would include plenty of water and food, comprehensive first aid kit, knives (a folding pocket one and fixed blade on me, another folding one in the pack), a multi-tool, 2 flashlights with spare batteries, a head lamp, water filter and treatment kit, rain/wind shell, rolled-up fleece or sweater for warmth, navigation tools (map, compass, etc.), whistle, water-proof matches, flint, general use cord, paracord, general use carabiner-style clips and actual carabiners (I'm not trained in mountain climbing by any means, but they can be handy), extra pair of glasses, a waterproof bag large enough to fit the entire pack, camping bathroom tissue, gloves (I use my paintball gloves) for protection when needed or to help with grip (e.g. I used them to climb the cables to the top of Half-Dome instead of the work gloves provided there), bear-strength pepper spray, and umm, well you get the idea.

Basically, I'm always overprepared. Adding my camera gear, I pack an average of 40-45 lbs. I once carried a 60 lbs pack on a day-long hike. My friends often joke about it, but they're also grateful because it's come in handy at least once each camping trip. Coming back from the Half-Dome trail behind schedule, we had to hike in complete darkness after the sunset. My spare flashlight and head lamp were useful for that. On other occasions I played "medic" helping with minor injuries that my friends incurred (and myself once). My water filter was used when my friends ran out of water and I had already shared mine (they underestimated the heat and took too little to begin with).

The bad thing about being overprepared is that my friends sort of became accustomed to relying on me for anything they need, and so they have the mentality of packing as light as possible and turn to me in case of emergencies... Good thing these are just day hikes and not backpacking!

hahaha yeah I suppose it was good weight training if anything

I learned my lesson of not carrying enough water!! never been that dry before, never going to try that again. Its better to be over prepared than under prepared! I thought my pack was heavy 40-45 Ibs!!! ouch!!!!

I don't like to do that KC, I like to edit the Image as soon as I get home..or when I am on vacation I want to edit them on the fly, just before I sleep at night, or at least cull them... I just don't like to edit photos after around a week or two from the time I have taken them... so I make sure I edit them immediately otherwise they will just be lost.

lol I would love to, but sometimes you take some on sunday, get home in the evening no time to edit, then work so you are too tired and they collect up.... Really really bad to get into this habit so i'm trying my best to get on top of it and hopefully keep up to date!

haha how does Helen do it? RSS? I can''t figure really how RSS works... I mean I was able to set it up but when the notifications came, I still have to scan through the whole document or site for the keyword I was looking for haha

no idea what RSS is does it search for keywords and then tells you??

CANON!!!!

I see you are using a case logic camera bag on the side? I had one of those and I gave it to my brother, as I find myself hanging the camera more than putting it inside the bag.. that was before when I was still using only 1 lens on my camera hehe..

now, I like to have it back...but since I can't I just bought myself a sling bag for easy lens change

Yup, I only put 1 lens in there and maybe flash, because its quicker than going into the backpack. I can't even fit my camera in there even without a lens attached its a little too wide

I have a watermark action in CS5 that does this too together with resizing, but I rarely watermark my photos.. WHAT? LR has a watermark feature? how long has this been? wow!! and it auto resize too... haha I'll check on that.. damn!! why doesn't LR3 come with manual

Lol Steven. The watermark feature is one many LR users have been waiting for. LR2 had basic watermark capability, but users were asking for more, and LR3 delivered. Hmm, I guess there is no actual manual, but there is the help content that go over the watermark feature in LR3!

Yeah, you are a weakling. j/k! Lol.

Always carry more water than you think you will need, or a filtration/cleaning/pu​rifying system (the latter obviously doesn't help if you're stranded in a desert or area where natural water sources are hard to come by). You can survive without food for a few days, but without water you'll be gone quickly.

Hey KC, do you watch Man vs Wild?

iPad had about 60 percent battery left when it happened. So I used it for about 7-8 hours until it died. I just got done playing hockey.

hehe... yeah the trip that I still haven't really edited until now is the Australia trip... its 6k photos in around 6days haha and I shot in JPEG and messed up everything (1month into shooting with a dslr)... I edited the original it in Microsoft Picture viewer hahaha... and messed it all up. so now I need to semi-reconstruct the pic as much as I could. but I am too lazy to even look at them.

RSS feed is something like an alert when a keyword is written or something KC...I'm not really familiar with how it works.
NIKON!!!
