Right Now
I went hiking last weekend with the goal of getting some stunning nature shots, but it was such a flop! I was so focused on the hike that I didn’t check my memory card, and when I got to this amazing viewpoint, I realized it was completely full. I had to delete some old photos just to take a few shots, and by then, the light was fading. I really need to figure out a better way to keep track of my gear. I even saw this harness from Cotton Carrier https://www.cottoncarrier.com/pages/camera-gear-load-and-carrying-tool that might help me stay organized.

Yeah, that’s a bummer! I’ve learned to keep a small notebook where I jot down what I need to check before each trip, like battery levels and memory cards. I also like to set reminders on my phone the night before to make sure everything is ready to go. Having a system in place has really helped me avoid those last-minute issues and focus on getting the shots I want. It might help you too!
I totally get the struggle with gear, but I’ve taken a different approach by going minimalist. I switched to a mirrorless camera, and it’s been a total game-changer. It’s lightweight, compact, and fits easily in my backpack without weighing me down. Plus, I rarely bring a tripod anymore; instead, I rely on stabilizing techniques or just shoot handheld. This has allowed me to be more spontaneous during my hikes, capturing moments as they happen without the burden of heavy gear. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, seriously consider simplifying your setup. It makes a world of difference!
