... We we take a lot of shoes on holiday
I take a lot of

gear, with similar results!

Crikey , you must have a heck of a lot of camera gear?
Yes. I have been known to take the lot on a Scottish trip. Passenger footwell also full. Mistake as there was a rather nice looking hitch hiker who wanted a lift around part of the loch just north of Glencoe village. Tend to limit kit now depending on destination (or take a car with a locking boot!).
