Photo Student ID (Oh, OK, so its a fake - It's was Zipper's idea!!!)

r00t - nothing wrong with this - my wife and I each carry an old student ID of our own and of each other. Just so we can send one person in to buy discounted movie tickets while the other one parks!!!

BTW, you really need to consider hiring a lackey to haul all your stuff around! ;-)

I dont use a bag. I have a vest that I can get everything in, or on.
DA is on strap around my neck. If the weather gets bad I have an
over-sized rain coat in one of the pockets of the vest. I do have a
small bag to protect the DA when I am climbing. Tripod has a
pocket on the back of the vest. B300, filters, 5t, 6t, bat,
3-128MS, and have a pocket left over for my wife's 75-300mm. She is
still a film person, carrys all of her own gear but the Tele for
her Rebel

I considered the vest thing a few times. Do you notice any pros/cons to the vest compared to a bag of any sort?

I left out a few things, but got most of it.

I do all of my shooting in nature, so I like the vest because everything is real handy. I might look strange walking down a city street with my vest on. The pocket for my tripod looks like a holster for a firearm. In the woods no one has a second thought about it.

There's no more room! Seriously though, I might drop a battery out and add a couple more memory sticks, for more capacity before I have to bring the Digital Wallet with me.

Very interesting thread. I'm surprised to find that only very few people have (or think as must have items) a gray card and a spirit level in spite of having so many useful and useless items in their bag

Like HotShoey, I too use a backpack with nothing on it to indicate what might be inside......I carry a Sony VAIO Laptop, an Optical Mouse, cables, power packs and leads, including a powerboard to prevent a surge. My F707, three Sony Memory Sticks, spare Battery, a Polarizing Filter, two PC Card Adaptors, a phone cable to connect to the internet, a Nixvue Digital Album, my F707 Manual, a Mobile Phone and most importantly my Sunglasses

and two sets of keys

but........I still haven't figured out how to put that dang kitchen sink in there yet! hehehe....

Ahhhhhhh and for those who are just itching to ask...no I don't carry that around with me all day, I take all that to my destination, then unload what I don't want to carry.

Well Jared, I carry my F707, and my lense pen. I carry the box for my UV filter. I carry 2 soccer schedules and my extra MS in the mesh pocket of the lid. And then, in the front pocket, I carry emergency diabetes food for my son.

Then depending on where I'm going and for how long, I also carry either the rest of the diabetes things, or my wallet and cellphone.
I currently do not own any other 707 accessories!
I have a Lowepro bag that is rectangular, about 8" x 8" x 6".
