I have a variety of equipment with me for different situations which I don't encounter daily.<br /><br />For example, I don't take my tripod with me each day, but I will take it with me at night.

On a cruise in Alaska I was on a few years ago, in front of Hubbard Glacier, a guy who didn't use his neck strap, for whatever reason, was accidentally pushed in the back by a youngster trying to get a better view, as the ship rotated to port, and his camera went right into the bay.<br /><br />If that wasn't bad enough, I heard him lament that he had Ned S.
