Yikes, sounds like a lot to carry. I bought a Tamrac Expedition 8,
which is I think the second to the largest photo gear backpack they
make. But what I found is that 1) it itself is quite heavy, and with
all that gear, is REALLY heavy. But, your best bet will be one of the
larger photo backpacks. The problem with them, they're really
designed for cameras. The upside, they're well padded, ergonomically
designed to distribute the weight, have mounts on the outside for
your tripod, and also usually have a raincover built-in or available.
Here's a link to what I have, and it was recommended to me by others
in the list:

Cheers, and good luck.
