I think the most i took was on a trip to Wyoming & down to New Mexico; My 5x7" Deardorff (5 lenses), 4x10" box camera with 90 Super Angulon XL, lots of holders, and a Rolleiflex.
What is the MOST gear you've ever carried on a trip?

I met a photographer who used Sony cameras and a giant lens holster strapped to one leg to hold a long zoom. He had awful breath and I couldn't talk to him without gagging hahaha

The most? Probably 4 Rolleiflex TLR bodies (two slung around me 2 more in the backpack) and another two 35mm Contax bodies with various lenses and a half-frame camera.
Plus change of film, light meter, cable release and various accessories in the back-pack.
The problem with shooting film is that you can't change it mid-shoot so I often have to carry one black and white and one color setup.
Strangely enough my partner puts up with it...

I've always loved the look of lens hoods mounted in reverse to maximize the amount of flare possible and to guarantee that the front element of the lens can be fingerprinted...

I've taken an 8x10 and a DSLR on multiple trips where photography was decidedly not the focus. But my honeymoon was probably the peak. If I recall, it was at least:
I remember there being too much decision fatigue. I didn't have clear rules about what to use when. I used the 4x5 handheld with its rangefinder, so it fit in the same general category as all the rest. But I used them all a good amount!
It's a miracle I didn't take the SX70.
- Super Graphic 4x5 with a few film holders (5-6?)
- Canon 5D mk II (probably just 1-2 lenses)
- Canon WP-1 (waterproof)
- Konica Hexar AF

By plane: in one ACAM 1100 Artist and Artisan bag M2, M6, 35 Summicron, 28 f2.8 ZM Biogon, 90 Elmarit M, Gossen DigiPro F meter and Leitz small ballhead tabletop tripod. Climbed in the Port Hills above Christchurch 2009.
By car for two weeks by the sea: Hasselblad, two lenses, tripod, M6, lenses, Rolleiflex and and an equatorial mount telescope on the roof the car in a cricket bag. Can't believe my wife let me do this. (And 8 x 42 binoculars.)

DSLR, rangefinder/ Fuji XT camera, assorted lenses for them and Ricoh GR. That was when I took suitcases on flights, so not anymore in this post covid period, hand luggage only and careful (better & efficient?) selection of gear in one backpack/ travel case.
