The best all-day, carry-around solution that I've come across is a belt
system such as the Lowe Orion or my favorite: the Kinesis system at
www.kinesisgear.com. The system is remarkably flexible and comfortable.
I've saved my back on all-day walk-abouts now. They offer wide belts
with/without suspenders and lots of bag and pouch options. Try it, you will
hever go back to a bag for an extended walk.
Highly recommended
