When it comes to traveling safely with your gear, the first and most crucial step is to trust your gut. I can't emphasize this enough. It doesn't matter whether you tend to worry or not; your intuition is your primary defense mechanism, and it's essential to listen to it.
Sometimes, your worries might seem overly paranoid, but there could be instances where you're subconsciously (or consciously) picking up on potential dangers. Do you really want to take that risk when you're far away from home?
Especially if you're traveling through rough areas, consider using an old bag to carry your camera and gear. While I haven't done this myself, I think it's an excellent idea in the right circumstances.
Take action to regain your sense of security. Pack away your gear or leave the area if necessary, and prioritize your peace of mind and safety.
