Yep... I carry just about the same sort of gear Marv..... give or take a bit here and there.
It's nice to have a small pack or grab and go bag.
Always take my walking poles along too.
The bag I use for a day trip or walkabout is the Tenzing 930.....use it mainly for my shooting......but it doubles up nicely as a day bag/carry......can get plenty in there for a day.
Good back support and the straps help to carry the load.....I have had a few waist belts over the years but nothing has come close to this for me.
