Thinking outside of the box/case

I've had this dilema for the past couple of years. As my equipment collection grows, so does my need for a good way to carry it all. I started w/a simple canon carrying bag, then quickly outgrew that and went to a hard case w/padding and immediately realized it just didn't have all the compartments I needed when it came to card/battery/lense/flash storage. So then I bought a camera backpack which had all the little pockets and padding and that worked for a few years except for weddings when every good photographer knows to bring just about EVERYTHING they own....and that's NOT going to fit in the backpack so I end up carrying the backpack and also another smaller bag. I didn't really like having to remember which bag had what and when shooting a wedding you just don't have time to dig through 2 different bags for some fresh batteries. It was a problem............until today. TA DA! I was reading the sunday paper and of course looking thru my favorite add, yeah the Menards add, when I saw the solution to my problem. It's called a Massive Mouth Bag! Now technically this is a tool bag and it is black and yellow (the only color it came in) but look at how nice everything fits in it! I now have spots for each flash, battery chargers, batteries, and cameras/lenses all in ONE bag. The draw back...it's heavy, but I'm thinking the positives out weigh (no pun intended) the negatives:)
