I am a big time overpacker, at least until I go on a trip and hurt my ankle and then scale back.

This loadout in my camera backpack is on the overpacked side

since I can't make up my mind if I want a manual focus 50mm that opens to 0.95 or if I want to do sports, birds, and a little bit of macro work with a 100-400mm zoom, or shoot stereograms, or play with a Nintendo 3DS.

Here are two typical book loadouts

Some days I have a lunch bag and the camera bag and a book bag but this morning I had to hike from the farm to the bus stop so I stuffed 3 slices of Pizza from last night into my book bag.
