I could not resist Walt, but I don't think the Glock will help in the
African jungle. So what jungle do you shoot in?

It's not that big a load, particularly when you consider one or 
two of the lenses will be on the one or two (never more than two) 
bodies I'd be toting.  Which bodies come along depends on which 
happen to be loaded with a film appropriate to the currently 
prevailing conditions.  For instance, at this moment, were I to go 
walkabout, I could chose from these already loaded bodies:

OM-3/Tri-X
OM-4/Efke 25 (an experiment involving pyro developer)
OM-4/Delta 100
OM-4T/Provia 400F
OM-4Ti/Provia 100F
OM-4Ti/Velvia 50

I usually carry everyting in a so-called safari vest with many 
pockets, although a fanny pack is sometimes the choice in hot 
weather.  I prefer the vest because it's more comfortable and 
everything is so easily accessible.  Plus, the belt on the fanny 
pack sometimes interferes with the hip holster holding the 9mm 
Glock 27.  I also carry along proper hoods, a filter or two, 
sometimes even a T20, maybe a spare roll of film, and an extra 
clip.  :-)
