>Yes, I have thousands of dollars worth of electronics in my backpack, how could you tell? Yes, I am low test and likely unable to defend myself. How do you carry your gear? I don't use a dedicated camera backpack since I don't want to be a walking red flag.
I've been carrying my camera and lens bags inside of a thick plastic shopping bag. Makes it hard to tell that I have several thousand dollars worth of equipment and a handgun.
>>4386673>this thread again
what would happen if you just jump on his backpack and try to ride him like a horse
>>4386681Death Stranding style wipeout
never felt the need to hide the fact that im carrying gearjust carry it as comfortable as you can and stop worrying
Good old filthy ass surplus pack. I found in the tropics it soaks up humidity from the air and becomes even nastier looking than normal, especially if it's raining. Tripod in a tripod bag which is also handy for housing the umbrella and a water bottle. None of this for security really, it's just because I'm a cheap ass motherfucker.
>>4386673If you're carrying so much shit that it's obvious, it's because you're doing a paid gig and you have four 'yuge-ass f/2 zooms. At that point it's an issue of business insurance kek. Should have taken out the 'Angry chimp trying to buy meth with my stolen camera equipment' policy.Even with a 5 lens kit, I don't take more than three out at a time, and that can all fit comfortably in a small camera bag, or in a backpack with the rest of my hiking shit. Just never a problem.
>>4386710Demographics, dude.
>>4386710yeah man, but you don't live in a shithole like merica
>carrying more than 1 camera 2 lens without being paid and insuredLarping dweeb

>>4386747>i take photos for a livingOof... max soulless.

>>4386758>inserting new words to protect your retarded stance
>>4386762>oh no words! scary!Consider you might be wrong and inherently submissive
>>4386766Anyone who loved photography or made decent money from it wouldn't be as mad as you, kek.
>>4386767Who said I was mad? I’m jerking off right now. Tell me what you’re wearing
>>4386769Kek, stay mad at people having gear, poorfag.
>>4386770Chinese knock off supreme huh hun? Sexy
>>4386772>word saladLooks like you've reached the end.
>>4386673I carry it in a bag that says "CAMERA" on it when im not holding it. If you're so much a of manlet faggot that you can't defend yourself, you deserve to have your camera taken off you, lmfao.
>>4386774>get btfo>screech "werd salud"Less kamala, more camera
>>4386813>falls for the 2-party paradigm as wellShocking.
>>4386813Weren't you just advocating for less camera?How high are you right now?
>>4386820>if you compare me to a bitchy charisma black hole with all the wit of a senile housecat, you support trumpNo, rather, i use both kamala and trump as insults.
>>4386821No, I was advocating for less lens. Lern to reed, ideeit.
>>4386823There was literally 1 less camera than lens in your post, kek.
>>4386824He didn't deny being high either lmao, good call.
>>4386824As opposed to your funko pop collection, geezer? 2 lenses is the minimum and maximum. You dont need more. You don’t need less. >>4386825Sorry I dont respond to projecting junkies. If you violate federal narcotics law you deserve to be jailed and publicly humiliated. Drugs are for scum and destroy societies.
>>4386827Sure thing, stoner
>>4386832The only stoning I do is throwing bricks at sodomites, american.
>lens consoomers so btfo they’re grasping at invisible pot plants35mm100-400mmOwning anything else is morally wrong.
>>4386673what I use currently, just depends what I'm doing and bringinghave +10 more bags I no longer use, these are my favs
I hike with three lenses and a single body. Camera with lens goes around neck and one arm on a short-ish neck strap, stable enough for hiking and easy scrambles, and the other lenses go in a waist pack. It's not the comfiest if I decide to take heavier lenses but with my normal kit it's fine. For getting robbed, I worry more about my window getting smashed than someone trying to stick me up 20 miles from a trailhead lol. Not really an issue.
>>4386673I just carry my camera and mount my gun to it
Non-issue, don't miss out on the convenience of a camera bag out of paranoia.I'm so low T and scrawny people mistake me for a woman constantly and nobody has ever mistreated my gear or stolen it so far.I cover all the gold rings Nikon puts on the lenses with hockey tape because I have middle eastern evil-eye instincts and I hold my camera by the lens when I walk somewhere like Istanbul where people allegedly will try to twist and grab the lens.Also speak Russian when you visit countries like that. American tourists come alone, are good-natured, trusting, and have money. Russians are poor, distrustful, travel in massive tour groups and are feared like negroes. If a gypsy comes to you trying to distract you to sell you something so his friend can grab your lens or wallet, literally say anything in Russian. Insult him, threaten him, propose marriage to him. Perhaps the gypsy's dalit ancestors scream out in fear to him, or perhaps I just seem retarded. Most likely the latter.
>>4386847>i go SUPER far into trails with my gearWow, you're AWESOME!
I don't need a dedicated bag for large lenses, I just put this large bubble wrap in the bottom of my backpack and bundle my camera and meter and filters in one or two of those ruggard velcro wrap squares, works great
>>4386673Mil surplus backpack. Also lots of ratty looking but good military shoulder bags available. I use a gas mask bag when it's enough.
>>4386860This also works if you're from any nip nong country with an obscure language, start angrily swearing in that and the roaches scatter. The bigger problem with Americans is they will not believe anything you try to tell them about gyppos. You do not associate with gyppos. Not for any reason. But they won't listen and get rolled every time.
>>4386673As other anons have mentioned, milsurp bags are pretty good. Some companies make padded camera bag inserts you can throw inside a regular backpack so your gear isn't just clunking around. There's also a lot of lower-profile camera bags/backpacks out there if you do some looking.
>>4386886No one's robbing me for my camera in the wilderness was the point.
im actually scared about carrying my gear when i visit america. what do i need to know to prevent getting mugged or robbed?
In my shithole country in Europe I don't feel much when carrying a camera because average African has no clue what these are and there's no big trade in these. If anything it's my watch (which looks like a Rolex if you're clueless) I'm scared about.
