Packing for a photo trip: Landscape photographer breaks down his camping gear kit

For outdoor photographers, particularly those who are preparing for an extended trek, one of the most important steps happens before you even set off. Packing the right gear is critical. Sometimes weight is at a premium, which can make it even more challenging. Thankfully photographer Thomas Heaton has a video which breaks down his own photography/camping/hiking kit.

As you make more trips, you'll learn more about what you don't need and what you wish you had, but it really helps to see what's in Heaton's bag, "camping edition." I love gear, so it's nice to see Heaton discuss his gear and what he likes about it (and in some cases what he wishes was a bit different about it).
