AmazonBasics Holster Camera Case for DSLR Cameras - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MWBY6W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6jmzzb563J80B
I actually have one of these already, and it's very good quality for the price tag. It's nothing too fancy, but it definitely gets the job done.
Why not just use your backpack? Not trying to sound difficult, but your camera is a little more durable than you think. Just use your lens cap and go...or even you want paranoid protection, wrap it in a tshirt too.
But, if you must, this type of a case should work for your t6 and the 18-55: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Holster-Camera-Case-Cameras/dp/B008MWBY6W
Price History
I trekked the Himalayas with my Canon Mark IV, and a 24-70 L glass lens. What I did was bought a cheap case from Amazon and took the strap off. I then took parachute cord and tied one end to a carabiner clip and the other to the area where the strap would attach. I did this on the other side as well. Then I used the carabiner clips to attach the camera holster to my pack so that the bag is on my side touching my hip. This takes some adjustment since you need to figure out (a) where you want to clip to on your hiking pack (b) make the parachute cord that length. Once you have the lengths down, you can reinforce the cord by braiding it. What you end up with is a way to keep your camera in a case but the option to pull it out quickly at any moment. I loved this system as I could keep my hiking pack on while still having access to my camera. It also protected my camera when I took a nasty fall down some rocks.
Here’s a picture of what it looks like from the back. I unfortunately can’t find a shot from the side.
If I would do it all over again, I would bring a mirrorless camera with one or two of the best prime glass I can buy. My camera weight was a significant portion of my pack weight. It was so worth it, but after 300 miles I also wished for something a little lighter.
AmazonBasics holster camera bag.
Or just search Amazon for "camera holster bag" and pick one you like.
I'm in your league as a big guy but have more gear to store/lug. Most of my shooting is sports/action or nature/macro stuff with the occasional family portrait at holidays. I'm definitely an amateur. For most of my shooting, I rely on four basic styles of totes:
I've got a couple of cross body sling packs that I've never liked - they always seem to be in the way or bouncing around - so they've ended up stuffed in a corner somewhere or holding the small bits of loose camera crap that seems to accumulate like dust bunnies.
When/if you get to the point that you're hauling lights &c around, I've found that most of the time a simple (and long/huge) duffel bag is the easiest solution.
What do you think of this? https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Holster-Camera-Case-Cameras/dp/B008MWBY6W
Still feels a little big but it's 1/3 of the size of the current backpack I have.
Consider getting a simple holster-style camera bag (example). I read an interview where Jimmy Chin (natgeo crazy adventure/climber/skier photographer) recommended this kind of bag, and I’ve tried it and liked it. Super handy to always keep the camera protected and out of the way but also close at hand.
Still working on a good strap solution though. I think I wanna use a short tether between my camera and the bag, so I don’t have two straps like current.
