" ah, there's the rub "
that is the issue, with modern DSLR, are filters necessary or do they interfere ?
a whole lot of " discussion " on that topic in the forum ;)
Aside from using Neutral Density or Polarizing Filter, I don't have a filter mounted when actually taking photos.

very small expense for me since I don't buy the most expensive filters
quality of filter is no problem at all for me, since I remove the filter before taking photos
but I hope we don't turn this thread into the " filter war "

there are many ways to carry your camera and lens, and many threads about that.
one thing I think all would agree with. make sure to use any sling or strap if you have one attached to your camera:
I still remember my dad's instruction: don't pick up the camera without putting the strap around your neck, you paid for it, use it
[ I've cleaned that up a little for a " G " audience "
Personally, I am into over kill. I use an Optech USA utility sling with a Joby Ultrafit Hand Strap and Ultra Plate and keep my hand inserted into the hand grip as I walk along
YMMV

some quick thoughts
if you are not going to use it for a long period of time consider removing the battery from the camera
I use a " safety " filter that I remove when I take photos. the idea is to protect the lens while it isn't being used just in case
if you remove the lens cover the mount, you do have a front body cap don't you?
example:
Camera Front Body Cap & Rear Lens Cap Cover
amazon.com : (2 PACK) LXH Camera Front Body Cap & Rear Lens Cap Cover for Pentax DSLR Cameras & Pentax K-Mount Lens Fit Pentax DS2, D, DL, DL2, K10D, K20D, K100D, K110D, K200D, K100D Super, K-5, K-7, K-30, K-r/x/m : Camera & Photo?tag=pentaxforums-20&
and keep the front and rear of the lens covered
