I was only 16 years old and only weighed 160 pounds and would skateboard with this camcorder gear in a backpack 14 miles both ways and some times I'd have to walk 7 miles back with it all on me after filming all day. Like I said I wasn't a big guy (I was only 150 or 160 pounds) and 5"11. But some of these comments do crack me up :). I must admit I somewhat am full of crap because I never shot nature photography before so I am out of my league here hahahaha.

Me personally though I'd get the longest lens I could get which would be the Canon 800mm f5.6 and I'd have it set up on a lightweight bipod. But than again looking at the price of that lens makes me laugh ($13,000) LOL. Imagine trying to shoot a damn portrait with that lens and a 2XTC on a crop body......you'd have to be back about 250 feet LOL.

I could picture myself trying to shoot portraits with it handheld.....you'd need a shutter speed of about 1/2000 and even then you'd probably still get blur LOL
