Hello fellow Nikoniters - been a while since I was on here.
I'm looking at doing another photo safari to Africa and looking at buying a better travel bag. Of course I can't make up my mind as I want something really strong and sturdy, but inconspicuous, as South Africa is notorious for the light fingered agility of its citizens.
And then I want a decent back pack.
I am thinking of buying online from Amazon because even with the shipping and possible import duties it is cheaper than buying locally.
I haven't yet decided on the backpack but am thinking of getting a Pelican Air 1485 (just need to work out if it will take the gear I want to take, see my signature for full list of what I have although I may not take it all and definitely not the speed lights - I think it will fit it all in).
So the questions are:
1. Is that Pelican a good one (reviews are excellent)
2. Backpack recommendations please.
TIA
Lawrence
