Thanks to the bag's well-designed system of exterior straps, I could have also carried whatever I needed to extend my stay: a sleeping bag, tent, ground pad and, if I was really feeling adventurous, a pair of skis and poles (and maybe even boots) to capitalize on the last remaining bits of snow. It was just a day hike, but in addition to hefty amount of gear – two Canon 5Ds, a flash and four lenses including a 70-200mm f2.8 – I was able to get two quarts of water, several layers of clothing, rain gear and my food to all fit comfortably into the 62-liter pack. Last month I tested the Satori EXP by taking it on a seven-mile hike up to a waterfall that sits at the base of several 13,000-foot peaks in the Pecos Wilderness outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The new bag, which starts at $360, is big and roomy, and allows for safe stowage of all the necessary camera gear as well as a few days' worth of travel supplies. Louis-based company has created the perfect accessory for photographers who love to travel or spend a lot of time in the outdoors. That's why F-stop's new Satori EXP is a lifesaver. There's no good way to carry clothes, food, camping gear and a photo rig without feeling like a donkey. Being a pro photographer, I carry several cameras and lenses with me everywhere, so I always end up with a normal backpack on my back, and a camera bag worn backwards on my chest. I'm sick of carrying multiple bags whenever I go on a big camping or hiking trip.
