The Ultimate Landscape Load-Out for Heading into the Wild

Most landscape photographers have experienced it: you’re halfway up a mountain, the sky a gorgeous blend of colours and light falling in all the right places. You bend to open your camera bag then all of a sudden your heart drops – you’ve forgotten that prized piece of gear!

In this video by Thomas Heaton he makes sure that never happens again, by giving a bag-breakdown which is the key to his success when out in the field. Basking in the sunny Alps at a spot that puts The Sound of Music to shame, Thomas opens up his Osprey Kestrel 68 and gives us a look at what’s hiding in the almost infinite amount of pockets.

From cameras to clothing and powerbanks to powerbars, Thomas produces a stream of kit that would turn any photographer green with gear-envy. Just when you think it couldn’t get any crazier, he casually whips out a drone as if paying for a pint of milk!

Oh and don’t forget your wallet he reminds us, for that refreshing post-photography beer. Cheers to that, Thomas!
