For street, it varies. Most of the time I go out with my bessa and my color skopar 35, and my canon 50. Along side is either my 35 sp, my 124G, or my nikon or pentax SLR with a 28mm lens. If I carry a third camera its my stylus epic.
My first major travels were a month in Great Britain a few years ago. I took a F100 with a 24-120m and a FM with a 50mm 1.8. It worked very well, but my shooting style has since changed. I took two trips this summer, one to Montreal for 12 days. I took my yashica 124G, my bessa, and my 35SP. I mostly used my Yashica, shot some with the Bessa, and didn't touch my Olympus. However it was nice knowing I had a backup camera at the hostel. The second trip was a camping trip which I took my 4x5, a 240, and 150 lense, and a whole whack of film. For both trips I had assorted films, and a light meter, Montreal I took my weston, for the 4x5 I carry a sekonic with a spot.
My one gripe about rangefinders, and TLRs is the close focus issue. I sometimes miss the option of close focus that my SLRs offer. With the TLR I have close up filters, but not with my rangefinder. I suppose my next trip I will leave my 124g and take an SLR in its stead with a 28/50 combo.

For now, I just have an M2 and a 50mm. If I need anything wider, I grab my XA2 or Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim.

In town:
.72 M7 w/ 50/2, .58 M7 w/35/2 APSH & either a .58 MP with 28/2 APSH or G2 w/21.
In the woods:
.85 M7 w/ 70/2 AA, .58 MP w/28/2 APSH & either .72 M7 w/50/1.4 or G2 w/21.
I carry an MP3 for color or an M5 for B&W with a 50 or 35 when I've not got one of the above kits.
