Beating the Bugs

The last few times I've been at the Saratoga Battlefield it has been midday and the deer flies have been terrible. It was almost impossible to use cameras once they found out you were in the area.

This morning I headed out early enough so that I was done with my two hour hike when the visitor center opened at 9:00 AM. The insect situation was much better.

I've been trying to decide on the best storage and carrying system for summer hiking and have decided on the Case Logic shoulder bag and holster with one camera and lens in each. The shoulder bag is larger and will also hold filters, lens blower, etc. The two straps can go across my chest opposite each other which eliminates the weight issue of a single bag and shoulder/neck strain. 

Some images from this morning:
