I use a back pack to carry essentials & food + water bladder, with every detector (SD2200d, SDC2300 & GPZ7000) I use a hipstick & a bungy, for me it gives me better control over the swing & I can detect all day even in 42 deg + conditions, I also carry my pick in a hammer holder on the left shoulder strap so I have 1 hand free & the pick is up out of the coil field as I am short.
