Do you use a camera bacpack for your gear? If so what do you recommend?

I have a digital SLR w/ just one lens right now but will get more in the future.

I'd like something that has some extra space for additional gear and a lunch but isn't huge.

Most likely would use it for hiking and storage but not kayaking.

Thanks for any help that you can give me.

Lowe Pro and Targus make great back pack camera bags. Most of the also have a place to slide your laptop into. I love them. After carrying a camera bag over a shoulder for so long I have issues with pain and locking up but the backpack style lets you use both shoulders and keeps that form happening. They make them form a tine one that holds one body and a lens up to a freakin 7 day assault pack that will hole 6 bodies and 400 lenses It's really personal prefrence. Find one that is above all comfortable. When I am out shooting I normally have a body, a flash and 2-3 lenses max. I still have my old Domke bag and it is the perfect size but its a single strap bag though
