1. I took a permanent magic marker and wrote my name & number on the camera (not very inventive of me)
2. Today, I went to REI and purchased some thin cord to create a lanyard that will attach at one end to the point-n-shoot camera strap, and the other end to my waist strap or belt loop. There will be just enough slack in the line to allow removal of the camera from the case (attached to my pack waist strap)and holding it to may face without a bunch of cord hanging down, but short enough to catch the camera before it hits the ground if I drop it (the previously frost bitten hands drop things frequently.)
I will post a pic when the contraption is finished.
(BTW, not my idea -- it is a modified version of what Bob R. uses)
