Glue some strips of velcro to the back of several mouse traps. On the
inside of a front backpack pocket glue or fasten the alternate strips
of velcro, ones which can be used to secure the mouse traps.

Leave this pocket accessible. Such as, with a flap which is easy to
bypass. The would-be thief's yelling will serve as your audible
alarm.

No you can either use a 8 gb card with the latest cameras or buy an image
tank, Vosonic makes some very reliable ones

My wife and I just returned from a mostly enjoyable trip to Spain,
Morocco and Portugal. Unfortunately, our camera along with all our
pictures of Spain was stolen on our first day in Portugal. I was
getting onto a crowded subway train and had the camera in my backpack.
We had thought it was safer in the backpack than carrying it loose.
Anyway there was lots of pushing to get into the subway which made it
impossible to tell that someone had their hand in my backpack. After
removing the camera I was shoved into the car. I just thought it was
the usual crowd push.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the safest way to carry a camera? I
don't want to spend all my time being paranoid. I think of myself as
reasonable careful but there will always be momentary lapses when you
are distracted, perhaps intentionally.

We have already decided to use smaller memory cars in the camera so
that at most one week of pictures can be lost. It would be nice to
have some way to simply move all the days pictures to a separate
memory card or other safe place but I'm not going to carry a laptop or
visit an internet café every day

Thanks
Steve Gerdemann

I don't think backpacks on your back are safe in city situations. Its
a system designed for the wilderness adopted by city travelers, its
vulnerable to thieves and you constantly annoy people by turning and
bashing them with it.
If you do use one you need to secure the entry points. Some go as far
as wire netting liners.
