Not sure what forum this belongs in, so perhaps this is a good start.
I thought I'd ask what you bring, in terms of camera gear, on a road trip of decent length. I'm a non-driver and carry everything on my back, which was one of the reasons RFs appealed to me years ago and led me to rediscover them last summer.
Earlier this year, I forced myself to travel more, and traded in my Fuji for an M8, so I'd have access to my arsenal of lenses but without the worry of film,and it was a worthwhile decision,especially when traveling light. However, I just got back tonight from a road trip with family down the coast, and brought almost everything I owned--film and digital Ms, a pretty well-stocked Bronica kit, and a tripod, which I never carry. Probably 10 rolls of film, and the digital mostly as an all-else-fails backup. I figured on the trip I'd spend a good deal hiking or in the car, where I didn't mind carrying a MF SLR. The M5 got a workout when we were exploring towns by foot. Either way, the car was stuffed with two camera bags in addition to everyone's luggage and a dog.
So what do you bring on a long trip versus your daily kit, and why?
