He became a bit paranoid after returning to his car once to find a hold drilled in his trunklid. Later, after the meal, he excused himself to the restroom, asking me to watch the camera. After he returned, I pointed out that had someone snatched it, I couldn't have done anything, since a bad back allows me to walk at a moderate pace, but only for a couple of blocks, and running is about as likely as leaping tall buildings.

Yes, camera bags. You remember them, don't you?Oh yeah...those things where all of your expensive camera stuff bangs around into each other. And they're so convenient when you're out in the field. You have to find a place to set the bag down, then rummage around inside to find the gizmo you're looking for.
Sorry, haven't used 'em in years.
Then you are VERY out of touch with what is available, Randall.
Check out the LowePro Orion AW.
--Nothing bangs together because the padded separators are completely customizable and extremely high-quality as padded protection.
--You don't have to set it down, because it's a belt/hip pack that opens easily from the top...meaning you can use both hands to access all gear while standing/wearing it.
--Full rain protection is available with the built-in rain cover that zips out of the bottom (still no need to set it down or take it off).
My Orion (amazingly) holds the following in my always-with-me kit:
10D with battery-grip and strap.
550 EX flash
24-105 f4 IS L -or-24-70 2.8 IS mounted (with lens hood)
70-200 2.8 IS L (fits upright)
1.4x tele-extender
16-35 2.8 L
Lumiquest pocket bouncer kit with three different inserts (gold/silver/white)
8 extra AA batteries
2-4 extra 10D batteries
Timer remote shutter release
Bubble level
Small (but sturdy) Bogen/Manfrotto table pod with ball head
Epson P-2000 portable storage device
CF card case (holds 4 cards)
Blower brush
My trusty cheapie shower cap (for body in rain)
Other misc. odds adn ends.
Other configurations go into it when my intentions dictate (macro, low light, etc.).
Oh...and it comes with a small back-pack shoulder attachment...which is great for other stuff (like food, jacket, etc.)...though I rarely need to use it.
