For a few years, I've been using two Cotton “holsters” attached to a backpack that I carry when hiking. It's a great system for keeping cameras safe and readily available and for allowing arms to be free when climbing/scrambling.

Thanks. There were many bathing geese in the Des Plaines river, and I love the proud energy of this one.

A “rousing” goose.
FYI—the wing flapping action to remove water from their wings is called rousing.
