I have learned a lot from this thread and appreciate everyone's input. I am soon leaving for another trip and after thinking about all the options, decided to stick with what I've used in the past. I have my Loka and my TT holster. I've searched for a good picture of how I arrange things but can't find the best. The photo below shows my straps with clips hanging off the shoulder straps that I suspend my holster off of so the camera is always ready for use. I keep the camera strap loosely around my neck for both safety and ability to use the camera quickly). In this particular photo, the holster is on the waist strap which is another option and which I did for a while while at a rest stop when it was quite hot (Trekking in Mustang in Nepal at about 12K altitude in the midday sun) . The only downside to suspending the holster in front of you is that it can affect a view of your feet. So, if the trail is particularly challenging, I'll swing the holster around to the back of the backpack or put it in the top compartment temporarily. My lenses are in the ICU of the Loka. But, there have been times when I've hung my telephoto zoom on the side of the pack in a Lowepro lens case or put it into the mesh holder (for water bottles) if I think I want quicker access.
None of this is perfect,, but it works for me for now.
