I have been on a long search for a good bag for travelling with gear. I find traditional camera bags just too boxy and my current bag (a funky canvas messenger bag) is not protective enough. I am sure that it lead to the demise of my Canon Rebel (seeing how it lead to a brand new D40, that is not a bad thing).

After buying and returning a number of bags including some cool Crumpler bags that just didn’t work, I came across the Maxpedition site.

I love these American sites. Built for the family that is all about ‘the right to bear arms’. I settled on the Gearslinger  Malaga which will hold my camera, a video camera, additional long lense and a bunch of other stuff with a single shoulder sling (I didn’t want a traditional backpack). Fantastic. I am ready for our trip to Greece in a few weeks.

And the bonus? A nice little pocket to place a handgun should I ever decide to exercise my right to bear arms (smile).
