I've recently been asked a by a few people what I've got in my pack for shooting. Depending on what my day consists of, or what I plan to go shoot, the invoice within my Cilo Gear 30/30 backpack varies slightly. Above is what would drop out of my bag if you stopped me mid shoot. I try to go as light as I possibly can. Pretty much your basic touring kit, add camera stuff. This scenario happened to be while I was getting ready for a day of shooting video.
1. Cilo Gear 30/30 - It's light, durrable and all the straps can be altered on the go.
2. Climbing Skins
3. Manfrotto Tripod
4. Outdoor Research Transcendent Down Jacket (packable)
5. Pieps Avalanche Beacon (this gets put on before I leave the house)
6. Extra Batteries (AAA)
7. Gloves (one liner pair, one leather pair)
8. Medical Tape
9. Lighter
10. Ski Strap
11. Emergency Blanket
12. Anon Goggles
13. Lens Cloth
14. Nikon D7000 or D300 (varries)
15. Nikkor 17-55
16. Nikkor 70-300

After everything is included and strapped down, this little bundle of joy weighs in at roughly 20lbs.
