You could always buy a clip-on meter if you don't want to carry a
hand-held one. Or just take some meter readings on what you feel is an
average day, then work around that in the future. After a while of doing
this you'll probably get pretty good as guesstimating proper exposure. I
try to go with what feels right when I'm shooting without a meter. I get
some really awful exposures occasionally, but I've improved a lot since I
started.
