I tend to only carry the essentials with me, memory cards, spare battery and a box of filters - various grads, polariser, etc. a cloth. Other than that I usually have a selection of maps and as much food as I can carry, lol. I normally carry my tripod seperately unless the going gets a bit rough then I'll strap it to my pack - LowePro Orion Trekker II
