I always put the camera bag between my feet then hook the strap over my bent knee, so that it goes around my shin and over my thigh, so I can feel the weight of the bag on my thigh. Because you can feel its weight, you are aware of it and not likely to forget about it. If you do somehow forget, you may notice that your leg doesn't work when you try to leave. Ted, having just talked big about how clever I am keeping track of my bag-- On our way back from Seattle, I set my PowerBook on the shelf at the end of the car when Marcia and I were taking the train between terminals at the airport. Amazingly, it was still there when that train came back around again 15 minutes later. I looked in every train as they cycled through--it was a long 15 minutes. In most airports, it would either be gone or would have caused a bomb scare. - - Paul
