I never hike au natural but I do use a fanny pack turned to the 
front,  It's a rather ugly black/orange one that has the distinct advantage 
of compression straps.  After dumping in my stuff (usually P&S camera, 
GORP, whatever else I decide) I zip it up and yank the compression 
straps.  Voila, no bounce.  I've been looking for one that works the same 
but is different.  Same in the sense that it has compression straps, but 
different in that it is not orange and has 2 or 3 compartments side by side 
a'la Batman's utility belt.  Maybe I'll have to build one.
