I have several gear bags. One is my Lowenpro backpack which has the camera, lenses (4), flashes (2), filters, lightmeter, and other bits and pieces. Bag 2 is a tool bag with macro stuff, small stands and umbrellas, flash diffusers, etc. Bag 3 is a large equipment bag with larger light stands, modifiers, continuous light kit, and (I think) the kitchen sink. Bag 4 is actually a case for my waterproof P&S, which goes with me when Bag 1 is not appropriate. At the end of the day, I usually take my gear out of the bag, recharge the batteries, clean out whatever gunk I've picked up, download the pics, and do other "house-cleaning". Then it's back in the bag (s) to be ready for another day/session of shooting. Same process for my kayaking gear. Same process for my camping gear. Same process for my working gear.
