Well, you wanted to know. Right now, I keep it all on a bookcase in my home
office. I try to make sure the airconditioning is at a consistent temperture
and that it is keeping the humidity low. I also have a large Tamrac bag
(614) and a medium Tamrac bag (608), both of which I like. When I just
*have* to take a lot, I use the 614, but that's pretty rare, since fully
loaded it weighs a ton. 99.90f the time I carry the 608 and I really
like.
I'll probably get abused (and possibly deserve it), but here's a pic:
