In French, my last name, duChemin, means “of the road.” I was born to travel. I got my first passport just six weeks after I was born, and took my first international flight when I was six months old. I’ve now photographed in 59 countries and all seven continents. It’s fair to say I’ve packed a lot of bags and have some strong opinions about the gear I choose to travel with.
For the last 15 years, Gura Gear has been with me on every trip. I use their Kiboko 30L camera bags, the Chobe computer satchel, and now their Mara duffel bags. In every one of those bags, you’ll find their various EtCetera accessory pouches keeping me organized. I love the design, rely on the quality, and am so proud and grateful to have Gura Gear support my work. And, though you shouldn’t need it, its customer support is second to none.
So late last year, they reached out and asked, “Can we send you anything?” I looked around my office at all the piles of gear and the bags those piles would go in and, probably for the first time ever, thought, “Wow—there’s nothing I need.” I didn’t even recognize myself as I said it.
But then I thought of you and asked if they’d be willing to share that same love with you. It wasn’t just an immediate yes; they said, “Send us a list.” So I did, and not only did they give me everything on that list, they added to it. And together, we’re giving it all away.
Gura Gear is giving us three great prizes, and all you have to do is leave a comment here on my blog (below) by February 07 to enter. We’ll then do a random draw on February 08 and select three names for the following prizes:
First prize is a Kiboko 30L+ Camera Backpack (black). WINNER: Alison Bowditch
This is the same bag I’ve travelled the world with for the last 15+ years, though it’s been updated with a laptop sleeve. This bag is one of the lightest on the market, fits into every plane I’ve ever been on except the smallest regional jets, but that’s not fair because nothing much bigger than a laptop fits into those overhead bins, though even then it will fit under the seat. It’s also one of the few bags that will take a 600/4.0 lens. The design is exceptional, and the build quality is brilliant. I’ve carried this bag comfortably through too many airports to count, and it has never let me down.
How much do I love this bag? I have eight of them in all different sizes and colours. Don’t judge me; I like my camera bags, and I’m a weak man.
Me and my Mara 60L Duffel. Dressing to match is entirely optional.
Second prize is a 60L Mara Duffel Bag (Sahara). WINNER: Aaron Carpenter
This is the same bag I’ve packed for next month’s month-long trip to Kenya. Made from the same X-pac fabric used for their camera bags, it’s the lightest and most durable fabric available. I can put a lot of stuff into this bag, and the internal pockets help keep it organized. With great grab handles and comfortable backpack straps (if you want them), this duffle is my new favourite.
Third prize is an accessories package. WINNER: Troy Patterson
Three EtCetera pouches (one medium, one small, one x-small), a Tembo card wallet, and one of their brand new tech organizers (so new I’m not sure it’s even on the website yet). If you keep saying you’re finally going to get all those little bits and pieces organized, this will help. My bags and Pelican cases are full of the EtCetera pouches—they’re the only way I can keep track of all the smaller bits of gear, the batteries, the chargers and cables, etc. This package is worth about USD$150.
That’s almost $1,000 worth of some of the best kit I’ve ever used, and GuraGear is just giving it away, no strings attached. All you have to do is leave a comment on my blog. How easy is that?
Just keep scrolling to the comments and tell me you’re in. Say “Pick me!” or “Thank you” or “I like bears.” It doesn’t matter what you say; just tell me you want your name in the draw. Want bonus points? You could make sure you’re following @gura.gear and me (@davidduchemin) on Instagram. It won’t increase your chance of winning, but we’d feel the love, and you can’t have too much love these days.
I use every one of these bags and pouches almost every day that I’m working and travelling. My relationship with Gura Gear is a long one, and I’ve bought most of these bags with my own money because they’re worth every penny. But I’m excited for some of you to get your hands on them. I’ll do the draw on February 07 and announce the winners with an update to this post here on my blog on February 08.
Good Luck!
For the Love of the Photograph,
David
GIVEAWAY WINNERS:
First Prize of a Kiboko 30L+ camera backpack goes to Alison Bowditch
Second Prize of a 60L Mara Travel Duffel goes to Aaron Carpenter
Third Prize of an Accessory package goes to Troy Patterson

I’ve enjoyed watching the growth of Craft & Vision over the years…and especially your recovery from your accident and loss. Thanks for your sharing, teaching and humor.
Love your work! I wish I could go on the safari with you.
I LOVE BEARS!
Cheers
Just discovered one of your books in my local book shop and couldn’t stop reading. You inspired me to dig deeper in photography and answered a lot of my questions. Thanks a lot!
Always great thoughts in your newsletter, thank you so much!
Hi David, OMG – serendipity happening right now with your giveaway. I’ve looked at Gura Gear bags in the past because of your recommendations over the years. While always in my mind, I just haven’t had the need to purchase a new bag (I’ve purchased many over the years). And now, I find myself looking for my (next) perfect camera bag that will fit the gear I want/need to take on an African safari – and as I search and search a whole lotta different options, take measurements, dimensions, consider weight etc etc, I have discovered that the bag you’re giving away – the Gura Gear Kiboko 30L – will be the perfect choice. Gotta be in it to win it, right! So now I cross my fingers.
I really enjoy your inspiring emails, books and videos. Would enjoy it even more with a new camera bag
Either way… keep up the good work!

I like bears. I had one as a kid until it decided to chow down on the family dog. .. .. Just the same I like bears. Grizzly Bears .. and I like Bear Camps like the one I’ll be part of in October :). It would be wonderful to have a snappy new camera bag to stuff with my gear in October. Did I say that I’ll be photographing Grizzly Bears feeding on Salmon this October? No. Well, I am, and I am supercharged to do that.
I’m just starten on photography by Mamiya 645 I was given as a gift by my uncle an I just need everything besides that camera so please do give a rookie a Chance!
Please throw my name in the hat.
Much appreciated.
Thank you,
Please throw my name in the hat.
Much appreciated.
Pick me, pick me! Any of these items would support my safari daydream! =)
Sounds like your parents were born to travel as well!
I deeply respect how you balance humanity and the mastery of the craft in your work. Much-needed and very inspiring
Ready to go
Thank you for sharing your life’s passion and your advices!
I never win in any raffle but who knows may be this one will different 🙂
I’ve got two books and two courses, and followed for many, many years. Your storytelling photos are epic, and absolutely love Develop What it Feels Like! I’m still lugging around my old bag I got on ebay, and just got back from a Yellowstone trip where EVERYONE were carrying Gura Gear bags. I fell in those with those immediately. Tried to swap but no takers lol…
Thanks for being such a positive presence and for all you do David! You’re a special person. I learn alot from you and really like the way you think about life. Besides having thoroughly enjoyed watching the development of your own creative process, I feel blessed that you have so generously and bravely shared what you have been learning along the way, Your ideas, thoughts and philosophical view of the ups and downs of life and creativity are encouraging, uplifting and much appreciated!
I don’t know if I like bears but I will go out to try to meet one if I win a new camera bag 😁
You have great incite into photography. Keep on blogging!
First time commenting, I’ve been following a while and reading your blog. I am very much an information seeker and love to read everything in your blog. Keep up the great work and generous spirit. Cheers
My theory of bags (camera, travel, briefcase, purse, whatever): No matter how large, you will fill it. Corollary: No matter how small, you’ll find a way to include what’s essential. Pick me for a Gura Gear bag and I’ll test my theory!
I’ve enjoyed your online classes and your newsletter/blog. My closet is stuffed with bags I don’t love. I’d like to change that! Thanks for your generosity!
Such a generous man, both with your time, knowledge and now this!
Thanks David.
Dear David,
I love your blog, your books, all your wonderful inspiration – and Canada too, of course ;-).
As luck would have it, my camera bag has just broken after 20 years of intensive use. And this bag would be just perfect for me! Will I be lucky enough to win it?
Been following you and your work for a long time. I am also a huge fan of Gura Gear. I have a very old backpack of theirs that is truly worn out. But it has been the best bag ever! Thanks for being an awesome photographer and for working with Gura Gear on this! All the best!
I have a very old backpack that needs replacing before I head to Bhutan for a photography adventure in April. I love your books and have gotten so much out of your online lessons. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience is appreciated. Thank you!
Hi David
I live in Australia and love travel and photography. Tried to buy a Guru Gear bag a few years ago but it was impossible to get it delivered to Melbourne Australia. I’m guessing being in Australia will eliminate me from this comp but as I love all your tutorials and the fabulous photography tips you give, I thought I’d do the Aussie thing and “give it a go anyway”.

What a fun giveaway! Count me in!
Hi there David, I’ve been a long time follower, your photography and your process is incredibly inspiring. These bags sure would be great on my next adventure. I’m in it to win it !
Our club recently showed your inspirational video. It has given me pause to be more deliberate in my photographic journey. Many thanks for that (and for randomly picking me for one of the prizes).
Thanks for the opportunity to get a camera bag for travelling. Loved the course i purchased last year.
All the best.
Looks like an awesome bag! Do you normally check-in or hand carry a tripod when flying? Travel or full tripod?
Love your thoughtful articles. Thanks for inspiring me with new ways of approaching my work!
Oh, and please pick me!! 🙂
I’ve had a Gura Gear backpack for years so it will need replacement soon. The duffle bag looks like a useful travel companion 🙂
Like your weekly emails with ideas and tricks – keep up your great work and thank you very much.
I need another camera bag like a hole in my head, but pick me anyway!
This would be great as I have been trying to find a good backpack. Thank you for all your information. Looking forward to more.
I would be honored to also be considered.
Thank you sir
Thank you for sharing so much of your stories and knowledge.
Yes, Please!
I’ve never seen a bear outside a zoo. One day. But not too close. They scare me.
Hummingbirds, eagles, red foxes-much more comfortable with them.
The exquisite beauty of the natural world is my happy place.
A new pack would be lovely.
Thank you for your humor, your insight, and your challenges to grow!
Thanks David for your support and inspiration for making better photography. All the best!
Pick me! Pick me!
Yay! Pick me!!
I’m a better photographer now, thank you
I’d love a new gear bag, and would love to join one of your trips to India!
I have had several Gura Gear Kiboko’s for over 8 years-rock solid and wondrous!
I had a Gura Gear Uinta backpack that I loved for many years. Great quality! I’d love a successor!
Thank you David for all you do. Your generosity with your wisdom, books, and photos have supported me more than any camera bag ever could.
Wow, great idea with this giveaway! Would like to try Gura Gear equipment.
I just invested in the backpack this past year…definitely hooked. O and also, bears are cute. 🙂
Merci monsieur Duchemin pour l’inspiration.
Ahh! Guru Gear! I have heard great things about Guru Gear from now two professional photographers , but I never seen any of their products. I live in regional Australia, and as far as I am aware, no one any where nearby stocks it. I do need a great bag, so winning one would be so-o-o good! In closing, I would be thrilled to be picked to show Guru Gear off in Australia.!
Please, pick me! I’d love to use GuraGear. Thanks for all you do, I have learned so much. And not just about photography either. I’ve enjoyed all the books and courses you’ve offered that I was able to buy.
Thank you for this opportunity –
Pam A.

Well, I’m a silent fan since I’ve bought “Poza kadrem”. Choose me, please!
I’m addicted to gear
Oh what the heck – I’m in!! Love your videos- I’ve got every single one, and am learning SOOOO much. Come organize a trip in the 30,000 Islands of Georgian Bay or in Scotland and say hello!
Your name means more “of the path”/”of the trail” in French, which makes it more relevant to what you’re doing.
You are an inspiration David and your images and teaching style speak volumes
Hi David, thank you for all your inspiration.
Hook a brother up!
Love your approach to imaging and the creative process.
I love the definition of your name, so fitting. I am waving my hand over here, hoping that you might pick me for this amazing offer from Gura Gear.
I’d also like to thank-you for your faithfulness to this broad community that you have established. Your blog is part of my routine, and I have Since 2016, I pickup “A Beautiful Anarchy” every year (my copy says copyright 2014??? – was it delayed). I get new insights of myself and my work each time. I have grown significantly in my journey as an artist and appreciate the insights you have offered over the years.
Wishing you an amazing 2026 for you and yours….
Well know this looks like a a very cool drawing. I’m still looking for the perfect bag. Fingers crossed I can have the chance to try one!

Hi David, that’s a great offer, very generous. As my 2 yr. Old Granddaughter often says to her brothers “and me”! Count me in! I have much appreciated your helpful writings and reflections on the photographic journey over the years.
A bag like this would be such a benefit to me. Traveling with my camera gear has been an exercise in compromise.
Thank you for all the inspiration!
It’s been quite a while since I visited your blog. Thanks for all your creative instigation!
I love Bears I am an Ojibway Bear clan, I follow you on Instagram and my madden name was French.
de la Morandiere
Huge fan!!
Thanks for your writing and presentations.
Would love to give a Guru bag a try.

thanknyou for inspiration and for your story. I wish back to landscape photography again
Thanks David, what a thoughtful response. I so appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and experience.
Last week our Camera Club watched one of your videos. It was excellent, everyone enjoyed it!

Thanks for offering an opportunity to make my photographic journey easier.
Thank You! I love photography!!! This is GREAT!!!
Thank You! I love photography!!!
Oops, just saw this and read it with interest—take me.
I could really use the equipment on my next trips.
Thank you, David, for this opportunity but more than that, for the insight yours’ve provided over the years on the essence of photography. Food for thought and the soul.
Hello David,
Thanks for the offering.
Thanks David for arranging this offer and to Guru Gear for agreeing to donate. Please include me in your draw. Always a challenge getting through the various security setups around the sphere.
Cheers
Hi David, Thanks for your offering. Sign me up.
I’d love one of those bags David! Heading home from Kenya tomorrow, sending best wishes for your safari.
Pick me sir!
Great blog with amazing information, insights and now give aways!
Thank you David! I’m in of course!
I love African wildlife!
I love Wildlife!
Bears are the best!
I would love to go into the draw for one of these items. Being field-tested by you for 15 years is quite a recommendation!
Big fan of your work/YouTube channel.
Please count me in. Thanks David!
I’m In (keep up the good work Dave)
Count me in, I want it to be better than my 10 year old (any very crusty) Think Tank.
I really like squirrels
You mean I can finally have a Camarea bag instead of putting all my gear in my pillow case? Please count me in, and thanks for all you do.
Count me in…to your ‘bag draw’!
Thanks!
I had a rough year for cameras last year. I’ve had to replace one and the other is limping along held together with gaffer tape. Since I’ve one new camera (and two new secondhand lenses cos why not?) it would be lovely to have a nice new home for them. Thanks heaps for the opportunity, David.
Hi David, thank you for this incredible opportunity! Ever wonder how to tackle a huge challenge? Just like eating an elephant—one bite at a time. No obstacle is too big when we take it step by step.
A present from you. By my side on every trip. Such great memories
A present from you. By my side on every trip. Such great memories
David. Can’t have enough travel gear. Gura gear fits that bill. Would gladly exchange current gear for some quality Gura gear. Thanks Jens
G’day from Australia, David! I’ll be in for the chance to win an awesome Gura Gear prize (and I like bears)!
Thank you 🙂
Thanks David. Always great information and advice. Cheers
I would love to have a Gura Gear bag. Count me in.
Pick me! I love bears!
Count me in!
There’s always room for another bag!! Each outing is different with different needs!
I’d love to have one of these great bags to take on my next adventure!
I’m holding my breath that my current camera bag doesn’t fail on me, so your giveaway is timely. (And who doesn’t love more gear organisation?!) Thank you!
New to your work but starting to really appreciate it!
I’M listeting your The compeling – frame teachery. The GURA GEAR could be an extra ..
Please add me to the list for the Gura gear!
Love you and your stuff. I’ve been following you for years. Please add me to the list for the Gura gear!
Admire your work greatly, and after a tricky pack to Antarctica, this gear would be a life saver. Thanks David and Gura gear
Gura Gear makes great products that I’ve travelled the world with.
I don’t own any Gura Gear yet, so please pick me. You can never have too many bags.
I’ve been enjoying your blog for awhile now! Winning anything would be great. Thanks
I am not much of a traveller but use equipment bags for local whale and large animal watching tours so would be interested in trying this equipment.
David,
Sorry to say I have never tried Gura Gear. I’d like to try their products. I do hear good things about them. Any one of the three awards would be wonderful to at least give their products a try.
One word of caution – please don’t go over to the dark side and convert to a gear channel…….
Wow … I would love some new Guragear for my adventures on Vancouver Island. Thanks.
I’ve been enjoying your blog for years and would appreciate Guragear very much! It would be so helpful when traveling with my boys and beautiful pup. Thank you!!
Organized, eh? I’d love a chance to try that! Thanx.
Pick me! I love bears and one can never have too many good bags. Thanks!
With an upcoming trip to Africa, a GuraGear bag would certainly ease the carrying of cameras and equipment!
I love travel! And I love travel where there is so much to photograph. My upcoming trip to Africa is exciting and I am practicing now with anticipation of the excitement ahead. A GuraGear bag would be just the thing to add to the excitement of the trip!
I have many of your ebooks and some of the printed ones. But I think the best is “Within the Frame”. Read it more than twice.
Gura Gear bags…
Are.
The.
Best!
I have tried many other brands, but have only travelled the world with the Kiboko 2.0 30L because it beats the rest!
Pick me!
Thank you for this. Keep up the good work!
Pick me — interested in the bag lottery!
Pick me please!
Great gear. Enjoy your articles and look forward to them.
Pick me! I am totally worthy!
Pick me. Thank you for your inspiring newsletter, books and courses
Hi David – wow…so many comments. I’ve followed you for many years and I’ve learned so much – not only about the craft, but also about myself. I thank you for both.
Warmest Regards,
Rande
Pick me! Have enjoyed your books and emails for a long time!
I absolutely love your art! I started following you after watching your interview with Nick Wilton on Art2Life. I have since purchased three of your books: “Within The Frame”, “The Soul of the Camera” and the signed limited edition of “Light, Space & Time”….the depth of the emotion is so inspiring!! I started becoming interested in photography many years ago when I purchased a Nikon F3. However, life stepped in and my passion for photography got put on a back burner. I recently started getting the call to pursue that passion again. I’ve been doing fine arts particularly mixed media and would love to incorporate photography. I purchased the Nikon D850 and would love one of the Gura Gear camera bags. Thanks for your thoughtful consideration….
Pick me!
I love waves! And would deeply appreciate either a lighter gear bag or a sherpa.
Really appreciate your guidance, from your newsletters to your recent interview with Base Camp Photos. Love you work and look forward to learning from you!
I have read your blog for years, and it’s still as inspiring as ever.
I would love to participate in your giveaway.
Thank you, David
Lu
I love your blog.
Count me in and please keep inspiring us all with your insights, passion and enthusiasm for the craft! As a side note, my camera club loved your recorded lecture – a big thank you for that and much appreciated.
Count me in! I never win anything, but I’m always game for a try. Very generous on multiple fronts. I know very little about Gura Gear (although I plan to delve into it as soon as I hit the send button for this.)
In all of your blog, books, videos, and (especially) courses you have never presented me with anything that has not been thought provoking or useful in my photography journey. I would expect no less in a gear recommendation from you – so thank you again, and again, and again.
Paul
Would love some new gear. I really appreciate your style and presence. Genuine warmth comes through. Great ideas and creative challenges.
I love giveaways — though I’m now feeling seriously undertraveled. I guess that kid of mine will grow up and fly the coop eventually 🙂
Your blog is inspiring! I always look forward to reading it!!
Would love a new bag! Thanks for the generosity!!
Thanks for your interesting blogs!
A new bag? Yes, please!
Looking forward to following you and Guru on your next adventure….
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and tips…and also your gear!

I’d love to buy the Kiboko 2.0 30L+ Camera Backpack with Laptop Sleeve bag. What are the purchase options in Canada?
Ive heard great things about Gura Gear, do you know if the backpacks do well for women sizing? Thanks for the info and chance to get a pack for my trips this year!!
I love polar bears!
Great stuff thank you!
Thank you for everything you share, it has helped me to look at my photography with different eyes. Thank you.
Thank you for all the interesting insights and inspiration
Yay! Thanks, David, for the Love! Here’s to many, many more compelling photographs!
Thank you for thinking of all of us. I love organized camera bags. I enjoy bear hunting but on my last trip out in BC I didn’t see any but knew they were around since my wife stepped in it, even when I warned her of the pile.
Pick me 🤣
Looking at the Gura Gear bags – it is exactly what I need, I have gone thru a few brands but the feedback I have heard has resulted in the Gura Gear bags being streets ahead, and perfect for my outback travels in Australia.
I do actually love bears. lol. And I hope I’m lucky enough to go looking for some to photograph with some new gear. (smiley face)
Toujours tres heureux de lire vos points de vue sur la pratique photographique.
I have been following your adventures for years and it has been a fascinating evolution, your work is always interesting and, along with your words, thought provoking.
Thanks for thinking of us.
I have always been curious about Gura gear bags. It would be great to finally get one. Thank you David!
Hi David,
I am the best choice definitely or at least I dream I am! Many thanks for this great opportunity.
All the best
Emmanuel
Hi David, one of the Guru bags might be a good replacement for my 13 year old photo backpack. So I’m in (not sure if Europe is eligible to take part but I would cover for the excess postage). Many thanks for the opportunity & all best!
Some excellent prizes there David – thanks for thinking about all of us – and thanks to Gura Gear for providing
Thanks David and GuraGear!
Thank you David and GuraGear!
Thanks for making me think differently about my photography and inspiring me to put more feeling in my work.

Love to be included in the GuraGear prize draw.

Thank you! I’m just about over carrying all my gear in thick bin liners!!! Appreciate your insight and attitude. Cheers!🥂
I have a number of your books and monograms, and have learned a lot from you. Thank you!
Awesome. Love your posts and books too. 👍
So generous! Thank you.
I could really use one of those…my current bag is falling apart!
I do love bears but you knew that already. One can never have enough bags.
I love trees (and bears)! Thank you 😉
I’m currently planning a trip to Costa Rica to do some long anticipated bird photography and have been looking for an upgraded bag to keep my gear safe and sound. If I am fortunate enough to win, I will make sure this prize goes to good use!
I really enjoy your posts. Love to see you up in Haida Gwaii sometime!
Thanks (to you and Guru Gear) for the chance for one of these prizes.
Thank you, would love a new bag to better organise my camera gear.
“Pick me!” or “Thank you” or “I like bears.”
Who doesn’t need more gear?
Pick me please.
Me! Me! Me!
Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom with us!
Hi David,
First, thank you for sharing your view of photography, life and mostly your fights against what life sometimes throws at us.
Hey, I don’t want to miss the opportunity to say I do miss your podcast, just saying.
Thanks to you i have learned that the only photographer i need to beat is myself as I go on, day by day.
Keep at it my friend, and may life bless you for a long time.
Robert
Hi David, I don’t really need anything material because I’ve read many books and articles of yours and know one thing: If my photos are not good enough it is not because my camera or my lenses are not good – it is because I just did not do enough. That is a liberating feeling. So I use this as a chance to thank you, and to wish you good luck in your travels and endeavors.
David I’m so inspired by your work and am looking forward to your new course coming out this spring.
Never enough bags!!
Of course I’m in.
Rarely do I win anything.
I have done most of your courses, bought and read most of your books, and recommend your website to most of my own photography beginner students.
So I would love you to return some of that love with a chance to win the 30L camera bag please.
Thanks
I’m in…
Love your enthusiasm. It is contagious. Thanks
I’m in. Thanks!
Thank you for this opportunity for some new lightweight gear. It would be happily well used.
Cheers, Wendy
Thank you for all that you do, you are an inspiration. I’m fairly new to photography and could use any new gear that I can get so I do hope that you pick me.
Thanks for the opportunity to hope I may win one of these wonderful bags! And thanks for sharing so much with the rest of us…
Love the way you focus on outcomes, not the technicalities. And would live to have a Gura Gear bag to 😉
Grateful for the way your reflections and teaching have improved my photography over many years. Thanks David.
Love Gura Gear, the best out there for size, weight, and usage planning.
Hi David.
Pick Me! Thank You! I Like Bears! And all the other great stuff you do & share!
I’ve been reading your blog, taking your courses — and coveting your gear bags! — for many years. Keep it up. You give me heart, as a human and as a photographer. ❤️🙏🏼. Thanks for your gifts to our world.
Please include my name in the drawing. I am finally going to Africa ( a life long dream) and I would love a Gura Gear bag to pack my stuff in.😁
Would love to win! Thanks for the chance.
Thanks, David, please count me in for the GGG (Gura Gear Giveaway)!
Since I’m here, I might as well make a comment on your newsletter (and blog, it appears)…
I thought the photo of you in this week’s newsletter, under the heading “Share The Love” is not very flattering. I’m sure you have better portraits of yourself than that! Now when I visit this blog, I see the same photo used in the ‘About David’ box.
It’s just not ‘you’! 🙂
Maybe just show a bunch of self-portraits that you like to your family/friends/associates (or here on your blog?) and ask them to pick the ‘best’ one. Then tally the ‘likes’ to choose ‘the one’.
PICK ME!! I think I’m ready!
I’m not sure how I responded twice. I’m so sorry. Please delete this one!! Apologies to all.
Carol
Pick Meeee!!
Thnks for the chance David
Marilyn
I’m In. I have enjoyed your Newsletter for quite some time. I look forward to continuing to read it. Thanks for doing this contest. Bags are always a tough one to determine with the amount of gear one carries over the years, so it’s nice to hear about different recommendations.
After recently losing my husband to very aggressive cancer, traveling alone seems a little out of reach. I have been dreaming out loud to my dog as I read your blogs. PICK ME!! I think I’m ready!
I’m in – retirement beckons and I need to get my travel kit organised…Tony H
I’m in! Thank you!!
I’m always looking for a better photography backpack. I’ll check this one out.
Let the bears have it! If they don’t like it, I’ll take it.
Thanks, David. Please add me to the draw list for the gear. Much appreciated!
I had strongly considered a Gura Gear bag after your last posting about them, so I am in this time around.
–Ken
Love to have a Gura gear bag!
Thanks for all your photographs and writing. More than just “How to” but even better advice of “Why do.”
Loving the mood course I recently started and love your work David!
My late husband definitely was a staunch supporter of Gura Gear and traveled everywhere with his Kiboko bag. Hope I win one of your prizes.
Hi, David.
Love to read your writings!
Thanks for your wisdom.
Thanks David. I love your blogs
Thanks for all you do, David. Always inspiring! I love Gura Gear bags.
A friend has a Kiboko bag and says it’s the best and most practical bag he has ever owned. Would absolutely love one myself but it’s just out of my budget. Here’s hoping.
I do love bears and sea birds! Thank you for the opportunity to win this gear!
Love bears, travel and a girl cannot have too many camera bags! Count me in please!
I’m always looking for “the” camera bag. Maybe it’s this one.
Hi! A holiday coming up & need a new camera bag! Love reading your articles. Cathie

New to your mailing list and enjoying the content. Thanks for the inspiration! Had an opportunity to test a Kiboko 30L on a trip last year. Loved it! Would love to own one.
Those are some amazing prizes. Thanks for the opportunity!
The bigger the better – I’d love any of it.
I have had my 16L for several years and that’s the bag that made me stop collecting bags – it satisfied every need. I cant think of one feature I need or want that this bag doesnt have.
Thank you for the chance to win!
Thanks, David, I’m in!
Been using Lowepro for years, but can certainly use another bag.
Great idea!
I need a backpack!

Thank you for all the great guidance and inspiration all these years! Please keep it coming!
Thank you for the inspiration over many years. Count me in the contest!
Always loved your philosophy!
The only thing better than a company that appreciates and takes care of their customers is a content creator who does the same and passes on that love.
Wishing nothing but the best to my favorite philosopher-photographer.
Thank you David for the opportunity to win a piece of Guru gear.
I wonder how much whisky we can get in the duffel?
You are the best – and the Gura Gear looks awesome!

Excellent company, David and GuraGear. Great inspiration and products. Please enter me in the contest.
Whenever I travel, I pack up my Kiboko 30L bag with all the gear I need for the journey. I love how one can access two different sides of the bag, without opening the whole bag, along with the multitude of ways to setup the dividers. Thanks fo all you do for the industry, David!
I like fine whiskeys and am too a connoisseur of camera bags!
I need. I need. I need these bags from Gura Gear and then I need just any excuse to take them somewhere and put them to use! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights and for your Love of the Photogrpah!

Yay! Thanks for thinking of us and congrats on being satisfied with what you have!
When I inherited Dad’s gear I didn’t inherit the storage. Would be great to have some amazing Gura Gear to tote my stuff in. So many beautiful opportunities here, would love to have everything ready in a go bag and do just that!
Thanks!
My camera deserves a better bag than the one I’ve been using. Entering this draw on its behalf. Thanx for the opportunity David 😉

Hi David, thanks for thinking of your readers by encouraging Gura Gear to do this giveaway on your behalf. I am eager to try these bags.

Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
Pick me PLEEZE!
Thanks David for the chance to win one of these amazing bags
Looking forward to the new book – Within the Bag: The Journey of Photographic Gear Storage
If this giveaway were based on humour, you’d win it all, Dave! 😂

Would be great to win one of these bags but either way – thanks. Keep up the articles – very inspiring!
Oh wow David, why not pick me? Me! 😅Thanks! Best. Wilf
I have 3 of the bags and absolutely love them. They are amazing to use when shooting from a car. I leave it on the back seat open with cameras left ready to shoot. Can jump out of the car and be shooting in seconds.
GURA GEAR : as rugged as the photographer who use it !
Hello David, from France !
Love this!
I’m in! Love reading your blogs!
Regards from here.

Looks like a great bag for my gear to travel around Florida!
Looks like a great bag for my gear!
I’m in. Thank you!
“Someone has been eating my porridge…” Your contribution to the photography world is much appreciated. Thank you.
Just got the 16L bag, I agree Gura Gear bags are great. Please add me to the list.
“Someone has been eating my porridge…” Your articles, books and courses are always outstanding with our without this opportunity of great gear.”
Thank you for this opportunity, would love to win a bag like this!
Thank you for this opportunity, would love to win a bag like this!
My wife says “no more bags!’ But, sure, why not? What’s one more??
I would love to have the opportunity to use any of these giveaways! Always looking to improve my photography and your articles are a big help on my journey to get better images. Thanks for that!
No perfect bag but still looking for one which gets close.
This is awesome of you and Gura Gear. I too am weak and am always(to the chagrin of my wife) open to adding to my gear bag options! It would be cool to add any of these to my collection as I suspect they would supplant what I use now!
I love bears! Always looking for the perfect bag.
yes please… would love to be in the draw
I need this – the bag, not the bears.
I am a “baggie”. Always looking for the perfect bag. I have taken your courses and read your materials. If the bags are as good as you say they are, then I really need to try one. Thanks for the opportunity.
Thank you for sending these emails, and for sharing your advice. Really makes a difference in my life. Please add me to the pool.
Bags do seem to propagate in the closet, but we still like hearing about them. Thanks for sharing.
Have always loved your blogs and videos not to mention your photos lol! Thank you so much for thinking of us!
Sign me up! Thank you.
Pick me! Thank you & GuraGear! And yes, the pouches are excellent!
What fun! Sign me up, and thanks for the opportunity!
Please count me in too!!
Pick me!
David, I’ve been reading your books and viewing your courses for more than a decade, and it has certainly improved my photography. I have a few bags, but nowhere near as many as you do. Thanks for the opportunity, and for all your photography advice.
Thanks David! Love your enthusiasm and energy!
Tried to give a comment but got reply that I have already said that???
Anyway would like to get a duffel.
Love your work. Each Sunday, I look forward to your emails to learn something new. Thanks so much. Although I’m a ceramic sculptor I’ve recently got into macrophotography. Heading to Mexico and Costa Rica to do some photography in the next couple of months so I’ll be taking your advice with me!
My camera club recently viewed your Heart of the Photography program. It was awesome! Thank you for making the program available.
The bags look awesome! Thanks for having the contest!
I have a Chobe and it’s the best work and travel bag ever. I don’t think it needs any divider as it is already thinly padded all over.
I would love to get one of their duffels but I am currently using three North Face duffels in different sizes. They are okay but the Gura Gear ones are clearly better. Lighter, with better design on details.
Thank you David. I have adopted many of your practices, gear and clothing recommendations over the years. Gura Gear make outstanding bags!
I forgot to add, Please count me in!
Sign me up!! Thanks
I found you by accident and have been following you since. Thank you for sharing with us in the photography world …you are an inspiration.
Love your blog, but I’m really only commenting so I can win a camera bag 😁
Hi David
I’m heading out to Newfoundland in September to shoot in Gros Morne Park. A bg like yours would just be perfect – hope I win
Enjoy the journey …
Always stop to enjoy your vision!
Thank you. One of those bags would make my phoyo trips so much easier.
New bag? Please and thank you!
Please add my name to the draw!
I just got the backpack this past year. I’m sold. And if you were to ask, I like bears too. Pick me!
Bonjour, j’aime beaucoup les ours. Je connais surtout les Ours noire très présent dans ma région.
Hello, I really like bears. I’m especially familiar with black bears, which are very common in my country.
I just got the backpack this past year. I’m sold. And if you were to ask, I like bears too. ☺️
Thank you for the great photography information.
I just got the backpack this past year. I’m sold. And I also like bears too. ☺️
Yes! I’d love to have that bag to tote my gear around capturing light, space and time!! 🙂
Thank you for this!
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing your ideas and knowledge, I learn a lot here!
Bernd!
Who’s going to say no to this? I’m in. Thanks for all your motivation and teaching. I have two of your books and still have every episode of A Beautiful Anarchy to listen to or read.
Thank you, how very useful!
I always have room for one more bag!
I like bears (and, your photographs of them!).
Pick Me David, I like Bears.

Thanks so much David and Guragear! What an amazing opportunity!
I would love to try your favorite gear! Fingers crossed!
I have an 20 yr old camera bag on its last legs-it is “bearly” holding together. I would
welcome a new Gura bag!I have bought several of your courses and continue to review
them for guidance and inspiration.
Great bags! Thanks for all the good photo tips! Michael
I loved the blog before and especially love it after you proved what a survivor you are!
🙂 Hi
Please pick me
Thank you! You are an inspiration. Love your books and am starting your mood course.
The bags sound awesome. Please add my name to the drawing
Everyone needs another bag to go with the other 50. I love listening to your classes.
I’ve followed you for a long time and really enjoyed some of your courses. Offering to share gear with your followers instead of just taking it yourself is completely in character for you. Thank you.
Oh, my gosh, could I use any of those… thank you for the opportunity… and I love bears 🙂
Hi David-I’m in! Pick me cause I like bears! 🐻❤️
hard to find Gura Gear in Europe, exept one model (20l) on amazon….. Why not. I try . Thank you for your newsletter !
Bonjour Mr Duchemin, merci pour vos articles et pour ce concours!
While the adult in me says I have enough bags, the kid in me grins at the prospect of getting one more. 🙂
Count me in please, I love camera bags and the such. My first intro to you was recently through Angle McNall’s Basecamp seminar. Loved your inspiration, and photos and started following you on Instagram. Also glad to hear you are a fellow Canadian. I live and enjoy life in Vancouver and the west coast. Keep up the good work.
I’ve wanted to try one of their camera packs.
You make me dream…
Count me in on the gear giveaway! Thanks, David.
Love everything you write David.
I’d be thrilled to be the lucky person to receive one of these prizes.
Thanks so much .
David, you have inspired my photography for many years now. I love the way you approach taking photos, and the insightful thoughts you have shared in so many ways. . .
Wow what a great give away! Thank you and Gura Gear for offering this.
Love to travel and take meaningful, at least to me, photographs. Your videos, books and blogs are amazing inspirational.
I always love getting your newsletter in my inbox. Thanks for all the wisdom you share!
David, I’ve been following you for quite a while. Thank you.
Count me in please.
I only have one GuraGear Kiboko bag (22L+, 2012 edition), and it is so lonely. I would love for it to have versatile, tough, adventurous company that it can relate to. Please enter me in the drawing.
Thanks for all the great advice and your books have really helped me advance my photographic skills. You are an inspiration 8n every way for all of us!
Keep up the good work!
Absolutely want to be in the draw!
I like bears…and really appreciate your content!
Thanks for all the great advice and your books have really helped me advance my photographic skills.
Thank you for the opportunity, David. I also think I should leave you a testimonial which you can use in any way you see fit.
As a life long (>50 years), and former professional, photographer I am very grateful for getting to know David duChemin. I first saw him in a presentation and subsequently signed up to his emails and followed him. To me his greatest attribute is not only his excellent description of techniques and processes – which are truly useful and practical. I think his greatest value lies in his deep appreciation of the why’s of photography, the moods, the subtle reasons we do it and, dare I say it, the philosophy of photography. Truly inspirational!
Thank you, David,
Jon
What a generous offer, David. Your passion for photography is contagious. I’d love a new camera bag!
Would love one of these prizes!
Nice gear! I love your blogs.
I’m tentatively interested in the bags, but I have a question. How well do they fit women? In my case, I’m tall, very thin, somewhat short waisted, and have strongly defined hips. Backpack type stuff just doesn’t fit me properly, and trying to wear it anyway just leads to fatigue.
I’d live to win some Gura Gear! Thanks David!
I just starting reading “Within the Frame” 10th Anniversary Edition and I am loving it. Your passion for photography is insane and thank you for your books and online courses.
I love your mono underwater work. (And please enter me in the draw.)
Regards
I have just culled the newsletters I receive. There is only one left-never to be erased. The bags look great I need one but hey win or lose your emails will never be deleted.
Thank you for your inspiring blogs. More than once you have motivated me to get off my 75 year old (a- -) and go out and take photos again.
I admire your courage after the amputation.
I have been taking photos since the age of twelve. Back then with an ancient Lica lent to me by a supportive clerk in a photographic store.
You help keep me going just like he got me started.
André Huot
Cool beans! I’m in.
Pick me! Thank you! I love bears!
Every time I read or re-read your posts, I find a gem!
So glad to get another opportunity to win a Gura bag. Thanks for all the information you share. I look forward to your weekly emails.
Started following you about 5 yrs. ago. Taken a course and bought a couple books. Read the emails.
I’ve had both the Kiboko 22L+ and 30L since August 2012. Agree with you completely about how great they are.
That’s just awesome!!! my gear safely tucked away when I’m on the move.
It’s about the Birds! (and travel) You’ve helped me with your courses and your books and I I recommend you to others.
Would love to win one of these!! I have been following you for a number of years. You have been an inspiration in my photography!!
I’ll make sure one of those bags “feels” as great as it looks if you send it to me. Enjoying your class right now!
Thank you for running such a wonderful contest. Does saying I like the Chicago Bears count? Hope so!
David,
You with Gura is my favorite partnership. So many good things continue to be created. That’s what it is all about!
T
Thank you! Bears are cool!
It’s about the Birds! (and travel)
I’m in and would love to win. Thank you. And yes I like your photographs of bears but am not sure I’d like to meet one. Hope you’ve recovered well. Thanks.
Thank you!!
Yes please! I’m in!
Love your books and blog! And, even though I am now retired, a highlight of my photo teaching career was hosting you in Switzerland so many years ago. (The American School in Switzerland) Hope you are well!
I’ve been following you all through Covid, thank you. I would love to try the Gura bag.
Very generous David. Been a constant follower of your blogs, books and podcasts for many years.
Would love to grab one of these great prizes. I’m in!

Hello,
Happy new year and thank you for your blog whichb is always good to read,
Have a nice day,
P.S: Message from France
I definitely need the Mara bag! My granddaughter’s name is Mara!
I’ve bought many a bag in the past – most have been “the wrong choice” even though the quality of most of them have been good.
Haven’t given up on finding the right one as yet though!
Fingers crossed.
So great of you to think about your loyal followers, David! I feel like sometimes I’m along for the ride on your travels. Thank you!
I always look forward to your Sunday missives! Am currently going through your Compelling Frame course with a friend. Really learning a lot from you. A modest wish, I think—would love winning the accessories package.
Who wouldn’t love a bag like that? I’m in!
You’re the best, Mr. of-the road. One class act.
Been following you and done a few of your courses for years. Hands down my favourite photographer ever!
I’d love to win! Thank you! And I love bears more than people, lol.
thank you, and I do like bears as well. one bag is not enough for photographers, would be a nice start to the year to have one. take care GM
Thanks for the opportunity!
Thanks for truly being there. It is rare these days.
Pick me!
Thanks for this! Oh, and I love bears.
Love that you are living up to your name! Just started Shoot What It Ferls Like yesterday and am enjoying the series. Thanks for all you do to help us grow.
Thanks for all the thoughtful ideas about photography (I do like bears – went to Lake Clark Nat Park last year just for that!) Wouldn’t hurt to have a Gura Gear bag for the next time 🙂
Insightful blog.
How can I say no to such a great invitation on this frigid Sunday morning in Quebec? Yes, I want any of those bags! Thanks!
Great blog.
Yep. Bears! Gotta love ‘em!
Gura Gear; Zambia 2027; Light, Space & Time…. OK. I’d love some new carry gear. Thank you!
Thank You
Looking forward to seeing what you capture and reading your stories on your next great adventure as you chase the light. I am in the process of selecting my next set of travel gear based on my last adventure as a Europhile (planes, trains, and automobiles) including the full experience of being pickpocketed in Versailles. Gotta love it, not. I am wondering how this gear will address the changes in security, weight and dimensions as they are getting tighter (and hopefully standardized).
Thanks for offering this opportunity. Thought about you a lot since Jan 8 when I shattered my left ankle while in recovery from shoulder replacement surgery. Take care (and I do love bears too).
Would love one of these prizes. Thanks!
Thank you David!

I DO LIKE BEARS!!!
I am a new subscriber having recently ordered the mood course. The first blog of yours that I read was the Oh Sh*t one which gave me the idea of having a separate toiletry kit and cable charger kit, packed and ready for travel saving me time packing when I would have to retrieve individual items. I can’t believe I didn’t think about this in all my decades of traveling.

I am Alec and I am a camera bag collector. After an intervention from my wife I am forbidden from buying any new bags camera or duffel for 12 months.
Winning a new duffel sure would be nice.
Camera bags not only carry your equipment but also collect memories throughout your journeys.
Please add me to the list of contenders for Gura Gear drawing! Any of those could help me with my first overseas trip to Scotland!
Yes, please! Very considerate and generous of you to make this happen. Much appreciated,
Without question David’s thoughtful writings and videos help me to take my photography to another level. It’s not the gear. It’s the thought, planning and vision behind the camera. Thanks David.

Your online training courses and the additional information you so willingly share have helped me to improve my photographer’s ‘eye’ over the years. Thanks for your inspiration and motivation ….. and for this opportunity to update my travel kit too!.
Always love a chance to add to my guru collection!! Love these bags!
And you and your great blog! Of course
Love your book! And if I win a bag big enough to hold a 600mm f/4, I just might buy the lens.
Love your books, your blog, your photography. You’ve been a terrific inspiration. I’d love to win any of these!
Wow! Hardly any responses to your very generous offer of free gear. I’m almost guaranteed to win one of ’em.
But seriously. I always enjoy reading your writing. Thanks.
“Wow – there’s nothing I need.” If I think about, I could probably say the same. But I have always thought about trying some Gura Gear so here I am in the comments…
Pick me! I love bears! Thank youuuu!!
Also, 8 bags? That’s actual less than I would have thought.
Thank you for all your advice. Very helpful.
David, I’m sure you’ll remember your very first Zoom presentation to a camera club—Monday, December 7, 2020–to the West Shore Photography Club in south-central PA. As President, I worked with Corwin to make it happen. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks for thinking about us and sharing the wealth!
Thanks Gura Gear and David -fingers crossed!
I love all your courses and the oh sh*t bag and tools that you spoke about the other day (I bought one!). Thanks for making me a better observer and I’d love to be entered into the drawing.
Thanks, David. How many bags on your typical safaris?
Please pick me 😊
Thanks David for your recommendation. I hope I’ll test these bags soon 😉
Gura Gear is a well respected name – good to know they work for you – that says a lot!
I am delighted to see all your followers chiming in. All the best. Charles (ChasM)
I always appreciate your newsletters. Your insight and humanity are much appreciated!
Thanks for the chance to win. I love Sunday mornings, because The Contact Sheet arrives. There’s nothing better than a hot cup of coffee and some thoughtful insights from you…
Vision is good, gear is better 😉
Have yet to ever win anything! Fingers crossed that this is the time!
Thank you for this chance to win an awesome camera bag!
Amazing give away. I have been a fan for more than a decade.
Would love a new bag for my gear!
I have been looking for a new camera bag and Guragear bag would be an awesome addition that I could use reliably for years to come.
Thank you for this opportunity! I’ve wanted to try out a Gura Gear 30L bag for my travels with a long lens and other gear!
Thank you so much for all of the info you provide. I am learning and would love a new, lighter bag!
This bag thing is an impulse to do something I was thinkink about for years: I want to thank you for alle the support and impulses for my photography. You gave me so much more than technical information, you gave me a philosophy in your books and in one online course I took: Thank you! And if I win a bag, I’m happy. And if not I’m happy too because I finally managed to say that!
I’m in. I would certainly like to try one of their bags.
Thanks for the opportunity to try the gear you so highly recommend!
I bought myself a Gura Gear Kiboko 16L for my trip last summer and loved it. If it is possible to have too much of a good thing I haven’t gotten there yet, so count me in on this draw.
Just returned from South African Safari with Gura Gear Duffle, backpack, and Chobe. Absolutely love this equipment.
That’s super generous! I’ve always wanted a Gura Gear Chobe. I’ve heard it’s the airline personal item to have.
This would be an ideal kit for when I join you in 2027 in Zambia:) Thanks kindly for this generous opportunity.
CHEERS MATE! 👍
I bought a Gura Gear Kiboko 16L for my trip last summer and love it. If you can have too much of a good thing I haven’t gotten there yet, so count me in on this draw.
David, yes please, count me in. Thanks much to you and Gura Gear. I have an older, smaller GG bag and would love to get the 30L.
Thanks for this opportunity. I am on your mailing list and read a lot of your material. The perfect camera bag is an elusive animal – I’ve tried several. Would love to have the chance to try the one you so enthusiastically recommend!
I’m in – how generous!
This, in addition to the knowledge and inspiration you regularly impart in your emails. Btw, great interview on the Camera Life!
I’m ready to purchase your newest creative venture – Within the bag: The Journey of Photographic Storage
But I really DO like bears. Seriously, I’m not just saying that. Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love a lightweight travel bag. As I get older I find I can carry less. A light bag would solve this. That 30l looks perfect.
Cheers, Wendy
Count me in, please 😃
I’m in! Thank you for your kindness.
Would love to pack my gear into one of those bags to take them to South Luangwa later this year!
Hi David,
I have a few camera bags too but you can never have too many….
So count me in!
Robert
Would love a lightweight travel bag. As I get older I find I can carry less. A light bag would solve this. That 30l looks perfect.
Cheers, Wendy
At my age (82) I take your adventures vicariously. Thanks
To have the same gear bag you carried on all tour trips would be amazing! So
I’m in!
Pick me!
I like bears!
Thanks for all the great courses and writings you create
Thanks for Kenya David, say hi to Cynthia for me! Still holding out for a spot in BEAR CAMP…
Why is it that photographers have so many bags? I’ve thought about this a lot because I have my fair share. What I don’t have is a large camera bag suitable for travel. I’ll be upfront about this—I don’t carry three bodies, eight lenses, a tripod, a spare tripod, a laptop, a flash unit, a flash umbrella and a dozen batteries and chargers. What I do carry is a couple cameras and depending on the nature of the trip, four lenses, max. Truth is, there are people who could use a larger bag more than me, but I do carry a duffel bag as a carry-on, and that also doubles as my carry-on for non-photography related stuff and my camera gear. The latter gets divvied up for the specific task de jour. That bag, while nice, isn’t big enough and its just a big open sack. The Kiboko 30L+ camera backpack with dividers would be sweet. Thanks, David.
Just finishing your book Light, Space, Time. So good! Thanks for your continued photography education, much appreciated. Would love to win one of these prizes. I’m still searching for my ideal camera bag.
I’m in and so ready for some new gear! Thank you for this offer!
I’m in! I could sure use a new camera bag!
Hope I can win one of those !
I’d love to get one of those bags.
Thank you for your insightful comments and encouragement.
Bill
I love bears and thank you David!
Love love love being part of your community!
I’m interested, Guragear seems like having interesting backs even though I’ve never used them.
Thank You- please pick me
Thank you! Would love the duffel or the organizers. I purchased the 30L backpack for my trip to Svalbard last July and it worked great.
Hi David ! That’s always great to hear frim you. Thanks for having thought about us. “Beaux Bonjours” from Sherbrooke, Qc
New to your mailing list and enjoy the content. I too love bears and dream of a trip to photograph them here in Canada
I love bears and bags!
I’m In!
Looks like some really useful gear. Thanks for the opportunity.
Thank you! Maybe I have a chance!
Free stuff?? I’m in. Thanks David!!
Always up for winning something. Don’t know that I ever have. Maybe this is the one!
These bags look amazing! Thanks for the opportunity!
I’m in! Just waiting for my daughter to pick a travel destination this coming fall when she’s done school.
OH me, me, me! Please. It would be amazing to win this, but more amazing is your drive, and photography. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
I enjoy your blog, thanks for all your work putting it up. Can certainly make good use of a nice bag.
Pick me. I love camera bags.
Only been on board a few months and have appreciated the education thus far. Thank you!
Hi David
Count me in. I’m still on the quest for the perfect camera bag.
I’m in for the bags. They sound wonderful Loving Shoot what it feels like!
i’m in! What is it about photographers -we are always searching for “ that bag” 😂. I’m a pouch junkie too. Going to check them out anyway.
Thx David. I have learned so much from your photos, your blog and your books. And I really miss your podcasts – you accompanied me on many days and hours in my garden.
Now adding gear to the list.
I have earned a lot from your composition and mood classes! You come highly recommended by David Kingham and Sam Krisch. Keep up the great work!
Bill
Pick me. I am still looking for the perfect camera bag.
David – through your books, blog posts, courses, and emails you’ve been a teacher, a mentor (whether you knew it or not), and inspiration to me over many, many years. Thank you. Some day I’d like to join you on one of your expeditions. Please continue to fight the good fight and keep creating the the great work!
I’m in. Thanks for being so generous. I love the big open prairie landscape and its occasional wildlife.
Thank you! Choose love always!
I’m in for the bags. Loving Shoot what it feels like!
Fun personal story related to your “of the road” anecdote: my mom recently told me that when I was a baby, the only way they could get me to stop crying was to take me for a ride in the car. Probably explains why I live in a van now. 😂 Right now it’s the only thing that can get me to stop crying. heh. #funnynotfunny
Would love to add my name to the draw. Thanks to you and Guru for offering this to others.
Your books were my first inspirations. I use a Gura Gear Uinta bag that I bought with a gift card given to me on my retirement 10 years ago. It’s been on about 40 International trips and many more domestic trips with me. The only problem is that it is a little long on my frame so I’m carrying it all on my shoulders. But I still love it and it meets all of my needs.
I’ll be getting back out to photograph our area soon, and I’d so love to have some good gear. Thanks for the generosity!
Love this gear!
I like bears…pick me! Thank you,
I dream of Kenya – I cannot believe it was 16 years ago!!
Pick me, I like bears, thank you. 😘
I have and love my GuraGear bags
Thanks! Put me down for a bag!
Pick me, pick me!
I love the Chicago Bears, but haven’t shot them.
Eastern Bluebirds are my favorite. I monitor nesting boxes for our county conservation district, The bonus is that I get to see first hand when there are babies, and therefore feeding activity to photograph.
As I used to say in grade school while raising my hand vigorously and knowing the answer to the teachers question…”pick me, pick me, pick me”.
Thank you Dave and Gura Gear for the wonderful opportunity to win some great camera gear! Please pick me! I finally decided that it is time to get out of the house and start making photographs again.
I’m in! Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement you provide!
Thanks for your contagious passion for photography. And thanks for the opportunity to win some quality gear.
I’m in!!!
Pick me!!! I’ve been a fan for many years. You, along with other Canadian photographers inspired me to take up the camera and shot. Thank you for sharing your story
Thanks for your insights and your contagious passion for photography.
Love your email and ebooks. We don’t have bears in The Netherlands (at least not in the wild (yet)). But our cats are lovely animal models.
I love to travel and photograph wildlife. Especially bears. My favorite is a young bear standing on his hind legs front paws on a tree looking at me. I got it in Waterton Lakes National Park
I’m in, love salmon, love hearing your stories too.
Hey Dave. Would love to share your love of Gura Gear.
Over the decades I have used a wide variety from small to backback size. Would love to try one of your favourites? Please include me in the lottery!
I really appreciate your newsletters and I’m looking forward to travelling with you later in the year.
Please count me into the draw.
Thanks.,
I love your blog and the insights you provide – they are not necessarily the how “tos” of the mechanics but the how to see differently, more meaningfully, how to feel, and even how to be different. Thank you David! Wish I was on my way to Kenya again with you. Soon, I hope.
Count me in for the Guts gear please. Thanks

You are so generous. Here I was afraid to look greedy by being the first post a comment. Sooo many friends!
I love bears
Thank You!
Those are some great packs…Love watching your training videos. I started watching when I showed your Camera Club training to our local camera club. So many others were interested in your trainings after we showed that video. Thanks for all you do!!!
I would love to win one of the bags!
Thank you David! I’ve learned so much from you!
I think you should pick me because I really do like bears and even have a few good bear photos, although not as many as you. Thank you.
I like bears.
And leopards 😉 see you soon!!
Well sign me up…I have plenty of bags but could always use one more.
I love Bears and would love to win one of the bags. Hoping to win the lottery so I can get in on one of your Kenya trips too. For my bride says that is only way I can go. 😉
Always enjoy your articles and it was great attending your presentation in Calgary last year.
Hope I win- time for a new bag!
I’m in. Can always use more gear.
Thank you David! Appreciate all that you do.
I have always enjoyed your blogs, talks, and books. I share the link to your blog with all the people who ask me when they start to take photographs to the next level, from ‘happy snaps’, who should I read?
Thanks, as always for all the great advice and work!
I have had my Kiboda bag for almost 15 years now, have traveled alot with it. It is starting to show signs of the wear. But I would always only replace it with a new Kiboda.
David, you have become on of my favorite photography blogs. Discovered you last year and look forward to your insights and shared experiences. Also a fan of Gura gear. Agree with your comments regarding their quality. And their design.
All the best – Renze
Taya here! I’d love to participate. 🙂
Thanks for all of your posts, insights and humor! And thanks for making this opportunity available to us!
Love your blogs – keep them coming — you have a unique way of seeing the world – and one that encourages self development — so thank you
I enjoy every thought that you share

I would love to try a Gura Gear product! At this point, I have at least one bag from all the big guys and the fact that I’m still looking for the perfect bag tells you something! ☺️ 🙌
I’m in (I also like bears and love your photos of them)!
Pick me 🙂
This is such a great way to give back David – I love my Gura Gear backpacks and I have 3 different ones (I can so relate to your having 8) and I also have a Chobe for carry on gear as well as the accessory packs. I’ve been thinking seriously about getting a duffel, so that would be an amazing item to win.
thanks again for the opportunity
Pam
Looks like great gear! This is my entry.
All look awesome. Thanks for the opportunity.
Hi David, You say you and your gear have been to a lot of countries.. but have you ever been to the Netherlands? No wildlife here.. although if you go to a local supermarket you would be amazed and you would desperately need some sturdy gear.. So think of me when you prepare yourself to draw
I’m in! Also, thank you for the thought provoking books and content you share. I read your book “The Visual Toolbox” in 2017 and most recently “Light, Space & Time”. I always learn a great deal from your insights. Thanks for sharing.
Pick me, pick me, pick me. Ok, I’m in for this. Love your work and all that you share with us.

I would love more Gura bags! Can never have enough bags so I am in !
You’re the best, David! Thank you for everything and being such an inspiration! I love the chance to win some great gear!
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity for your readers to receive fantastic photography products from Gura Gear!
Please drop my name in the hat too!
Please pick me 🙂
I like your style – coordinated with your bag. Have yet to find the “perfect bag”. Maybe this time!
I’d love to travel to Africa and have GuraGear for the trip!
Pick me please 🙂
Love your blog and articles Dave. Thanks to Gura Gear too!
Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! I’ve been using the same bag for 15-20 years and needless to say I could really use a new camera bag.
Have some trips coming up in the next few months I’d love to have a new bag for 😉
I love my 2 Gura 30Lbags also. They are the best !
I would really like to win one of these offerings! Ready to apply what I learned from “Shoot What It Feels Like” and BTW, I like photographs of bears. 🐻
How amazing is that? I’m in!
Hi David,
Love your work and inspirational thoughts!
Thanks for the opportunity to experience the Guru Gear swag.
pick me
Your photos are my inspiration…your books my photographic Bibles. Thank you.
I won’t be missing out on this giveaway. I’ve settled on Tenba for my hobby kit, but I am always interested in what other folks are using. Seeing how much you highly endorse this brand has me curious. I hope I’m one of the lucky ones.
I loved your insight into photography – and have learned a lot from the courses I purchased so far! Would love the gear to go with my first trip to
Photograph bears in Alaska this summer!
There are countless photography blogs to follow, but if I had to choose only one, it would be David duChemin’s. His writing reaches into me as a photographer in a way that is both inspirational and formative. David is less concerned with teaching how to make a better photograph than with helping us become better photographers. His focus is on the one who stands behind the camera—the maker of the image—and that emphasis continues to challenge and draw me forward in my own work.
David, thanks for everything you have shared over the years. You’re an inspiration.
I enjoy your blog and have only recently heard of Gura bags.
Pick me! I read your posts and you have helped me on my photography journey so thank you.
Hi David, I always thought your last name was very fitting! Safe travels!
Thanks David, and thank you Gura Gear!
Hi David,
Count me in! My photography has grown with nuance and thoughtfulness because of the lessons I have learned from your courses, books, and blog posts. Thank you for thinking of us. Have a great day and don’t work too hard.

Here to say “hi” and to submit my name for consideration on your camera bag giveaway.
Currently re-reading A Beautiful Anarchy here in North Carolina during the ice storm.
Also, my teenager’s first photo book was my hand-me-down copy of Visual Toolbox.
Cheers!

I love Gura Gear!
The bags look amazing, and you are inspiring!
I have been following you for a long time. Thanks for all the great insight.
You make me laugh David – can’t wait to see the bears this year.
Love Gura Gear. I’m in
I like birds and bears! Also, really enjoying your new book, especially all the wildlife photos you included!
Bags are beautiful.
I’m in!
I’ve read where you’ve mentioned their gear before – and coming from you it is a ringing endorsement! Thanks for the chance to win.
I can’t believe I’ve learned by following you.
Great stuff… have a picture perfect day!!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you for all the good advice. Hope I win!
Can’t wait to pack my gear in one of those bags. Thanks for the opportunity.
Thanks for all you do in your writing, be it your books, newsletters or blog posts! Always a wealth of great information and inspiration!
You are always generous with your communications and I enjoy your books. My present backpack is very tired after many decades and thousands of miles. Someone once told me that it is not about the gear but sure an help.
