Your Itinerary this week is about what photo gear I take for two weeks of shooting in Costa Rica. I’ll show you a couple of different ways I pack and set up my bags for transportation and for shooting. I find that the easiest way to get your gear onto an airplane isn't always the easiest way to make your gear accessible in the field. I like to leave myself some options whenever possible.

I also discuss a few non-photo tools that I always pack. Some items are specific to my Costa Rica trip and some are part of my everyday load-out. Flashlights and first-aid kits might not be the first thing you think to pack into your camera bag, but they sure can come in handy!

What about you? Do you have a different load-out for long trips than you do for everyday carry? Leave your gear list in the comments.

The LUMIX GX7's small size and great IQ make it a good choice for IR conversion.

Lee Seven5 filters work beautifully with small lenses like the ones I use
I probably love my Zoom H5 a little too much
