Evie’s entire gear back was stolen in Italy over the summer. This is part two of all the lessons learned so no one else has to go through it. First, go listen to the first saga!
Lesson #1:
Put air tags in your suitcase & gear (our friend Benj Haisch has a system to put air tags in every single camera)
Lesson #2:
Put your SD cards, working hard drive, and backup hard drive all in separate suitcases/bags while traveling
Overarching lesson: Backups:
Dual cards
Working hard drive
Backup hard drive
Cloud storage
Don’t delete memory cards until delivered.
Lesson #3:
Travel in a nondescript gear bag that doesn’t look fancy or nice.
Lesson #4:
Before traveling internationally take photos of your passports.
Lesson #5:
Always keep your bag between your ankles, on your lap, or right beside you with your hand on it. Basically, if you’re traveling with $$ gear – keep it touching your body at all times.
Lesson #6:
Choose a gear bag that zips from behind (where it’s nestled against your back) vs. on the outside of your backpack where someone could unzip and move on…
Lesson #7:
Utilize cloud storage, even when traveling. (If Wifi is impossible or super slow this can be really hard… but I wish I’d prioritized it even more on the road on this trip.)
Lesson #8:
Back up ALL your photos that are undelivered on a hard drive at home (or via cloud. Or both) before traveling. Make sure the hard drive you’re traveling with on a trip does not have the ONLY copy of undelivered photos.
Lesson #9:
Lock your suitcase.
Lesson #10:
Have a good contract in place to protect yourself if the worst-case scenario were to happen.
