He also carried two bags, one looked valuable and one did not, but he kept the more important stuff in the crummy looking bag in case someone grabbed his bag and ran. I always just kept anything important really close by me, or in my money belt if it was small enough. I met a guy once who put everything valuable into a big ball of his dirty underwear.

Wait for me. - Scott" This make any would-be-robbers think someone might be at the car soon so they go away. I can't tell you if it works, but I've yet to have my car broken into at a trailhead.
