I swear. Trying to pack for an upcoming vacation and sorting out which camera bag(s) to bring is taking longer than it should. LOL

I want this bag for the beach, and this bag for the kayak, and this bag in case we go hiking, and which one can I carry a water bottle with, and so on ... :-)

Anybody else have fun like this?

Well, I never have to worry about which one to take kayaking ;-)

LOL A bit dry out your way is it?

I do have a nice Lowepro DryZone bag but I changed what I'm taking on the water this year and that gear doesn't fit quite right in it. Going to use a rolltop bag instead with a regular camera bag inside that.

It USED to be an issue... jejeje... Now I take the phone in my pocket and the drone has a padded hard case.

I'm with

Bear_Music on this. My phone does not need a bag.

Other than that I really improvise a lot. However the dry zone bag seems pretty awesome.

Ok you phone peeps! What kind of cargo pants are you wearing to comfortably carry your phone then? :-) FWIW, I love cargo pants. :-D

Thanks. Yeah, it came in handy a lot when I was still active with the Scout Troop and going on Canoe trips, etc. Important to have on the water to protect your gear, but also once we got on shore and made camp, this bag doesn't mind getting wet/muddy at all. :-)

The trick is to get one which is bigger on the inside than the outside* ...

*A woman left her purse on the bus, but fortunately received a call that the bus company had it in their lost-and-found. When she got there she was presented with her purse and a largish box.
"Sorry, we had to take everything out to inventory it and find your ID to call you" said the supervisor, as she looked around the room at the five other men standing there. "I hope you don't mind if the guys watch, because we really can't figure out how all that stuff fits in there."
