Hey guys I'm looking for suggestions on how to carry a lot of photo gear on the hill. I'm talking about alienbees, vagabond, light stands, tripods plus all the camera stuff. Right now I have a Dakine Mission photo for my camera, lenses, small flashes, and all the other stuff. I've seen some people use rolling Dakine suitcases but I'm looking for easy portablity for on the hill. I'm going to be shooting a lot of events this year and the easier to carry the gear the better it will be. So if theres any suggestions on bags or cases it's greatly appreicated.

The dakine sequence pack is nice and is larger then the mission. I've heard good things about burton photo packs but i dont have any expirience with them.

Ya I've been looking at F Stop bags and they look fucking awesome and massive. The thing I'm wondering is it worth it to just carry a huge bag rather than 2 or 3 smaller ones. Not to mention lighting equipment is quite heavy and not sure if I want to be carrying around in the same bag as the camera and lenses. I'm guessing I could switch out the XL camera block and use my Dakine one and have some extra space but not sure if it would fit a reflector too.
