the truth is I' m not sure what I need..

a portabrace-type strap bag looks great and handy - I could fit in there my=
 recorder plus headphones, cables a couple of mics and stuff to record in t=
he field

but what when I need to walk long distances in the mountains ? It' s not th=
at handy as in that case I need to carry everything in my back so I can wal=
k more freely.. But what kind of bag would accommodate a rycote basket alon=
g with boompole and several other pieces of equipment ?? and how would that=
 be handy in all other cases ?

I' m thinking of the solution of 2 bags - sth like the lowepro to hold ever=
ything that has to be accessed easily, and a second backpack with everythin=
g else..
