For me I like to go light, so lenses in individual cases on the belt has the lenses in a handy spot, and is a lot easier to carry a long distance than a backpack or sling. The DA*300 fits nicely into a Lowepro Lens Exchange Case 200 AW, which is great for changing lenses. Although most of the time I'm walking with the 300 mounted on the camera (for wildlife) and strapped to a Black Rapid sling for comfort. Batteries, filters etc can be carried in my pockets, a small belt mounted bag could be used too. If I had to go through really rugged terrain i would add a holster bag for those times you have to use your hands to climb. If I need to take a lot more gear I have a Tenba sling bag that works really well, you can slide it in front of you and it works like a table with walls. This may work better for some people. My biggest problem with slings and backpacks is that they can get warm after a while. Carrying gear seems to be something that few people really agree on. You may have to try a few different things, and everybody here has something that works for them, one of those ideas may work for you, and maybe a combination of two or more. I know there is no one solution that works for me with every situation, about the only constant is the Black Rapid, and I even take those off if I may shoot from inside the car, which is not unusual. The reason is so I don't pull over, grab the camera and catch the strap on the gear shift.
