Job done.

I wear my normal clothes, you'll look like even more of a nutter if you're caught wearing full camo gear.

looks about right above and i do a lot of dark stuff. Never wear camo or black if i can help it brown or green(olive type) blends better depends what your doing, that and you won't stand out so regardless walking down the street or shuffling through a bit of undergrowth to reach your target. Unless you want to look like action man and a loony forget the camo stuff unless your Deer stalking !
 
I think a lot of people over complicate things. Wear whats comfortable take what you need.

I take:

Me in clothes that I dont mind getting dirty/ripped
camera/lenses
bag
torch/headtorch
noms
 
Fancy dress goes down well too :lol:

Ha ha yeah !! Lots of people take extra clothing and accessories, gas masks ,nighties etc lol :) i wear what i feel like no dress code for me my cam fits in a small ish bag with all extras in the pockets and tripod attached to top of cam bag, small torch and my mobi just in case, then maybe a ruck sack for my dinner, a flask and maybe my hooded sweatshirt, jobs a good un . :p

What's the tripod chap?

I have some sort of fettish for tripods and I just can't seem to get the right compact one for my bag. That looks handy....

Cheers..
 
Usually jeans/combats, t-shirt, hoodie, woolly hat if it's winter & you've no hair like me :) Does depends on the site though :)

Cwm Coke for example - tough clothing & proper boots.
GT Manor - jeans, hoodie & trainers.

Most important for me is camera gear :) 5D2 & 17-40L, 50/1.4 minimum - sometimes I take the 450D/100mm macro, always the decent tripod. Don't usually bother with flashguns, always a torch though. Phone, drink, snacks too :)

If you want compact then a Velbon E-540 is 40.7 closed (the Frot is 57)

They are also rather durable and don't moan too much in deep water and mud :)
