11 I have an old camera backpack my sister gave me. We'll padded and reinforced to protect gear, but it's admittedly small. My preference is my airplane carry on backpack. It's the TSA approved carry on size which is quite large. It also unzips all the way down on both sides so you can fully open it like a clanshell. I think this is the ideal design for fpv gear for rapidly deploying gear. Then inside the backpack I have various cases and bags with things like goggles and batts. I do somewhat haphazardly toss the drones into the bag, which may not be ideal when I'm hopping fences into bandos, but all in all has worked out well.

41 I use a Decathlon ski rucksack for the actual carrying, but the Torvol Session bag looks like something I might buy down the line. If you mean actual drone storage, I posted what I use on the thread Cyberess started. Basically a cheapo plastic toolbox (from Home Bargains). I can get into it a set of goggles, radio, 2-3" quad and a Lipo safe bag containing 10-15 450mAh 3S Lipos. If you are flying an urban bando, throw on a hi viz and walk in carrying a toolbox, no one will bat an eyelid, perfect urban camo (and yes I have done this a couple of times).

41 Yeah, if you look like trades, then you'd be surprised how often no one checks. Hi vis vest and toolbox and possibly a helmet of some sort and you can go most places and no one public wise will bat an eyelid. It's all about not looking out of place. if someone sees a bunch of people climbing through a gap in a fence, then it looks suspicious. If the same person sees someone with a hi vis, carrying a toolbox and maybe wearing a hard hat, they won't give it a second thought. Even if they ask, have the right answers. Anyway, not a tutorial on not standing out.
I'd throw a high vis in your toolbox.
For parts storage I use these.
and these.
