What do you bring (photographic equipment) for travel

I supposed if I buy the camera and not use it, it's kinda waste....
Anyway no choice, just gotta be extra careful, I'll be going also with my s100, places which I feel ain't very safe I'll probably not take out my dslr...
Maybe get travel insurance hopefully I can claim back a bit of money if anything goes wrong...
woah, how come you all go overseas carry so many gears?? i thought it's always more convenient to travel light? for me i will just bring my 7D with 24-70. and nothing else...
i guess most of us are hobbyists, and if we dont bring out the gear we bought for holidays, why bother buying so much
I tend to travel with my 5D, one UWA and one portrait lens (50mm or 135mm) + 270 3x flash.
small trips/less important trips i bring my m4/3 gear, feel very carefree haha
For my recent Tibet trip:
GF2 + 14 f2.5 + 7.5 f3.5
D90 + 80-200 f2.8
I was expect my friend bring his GX1 + 14-42, but he forget to bring it, so LL use prime lens on my GF2

Hello chaps, during my recent trip to Paris, I've brought the following which includes, D700, 24-70, 85, 35, sb800, lee filters and also a tripod! All in the lowepro pro runner x350 aw.
I would recommend having a roller as it's very very convenient and not tiring at all at the end of the day!

i went for a road trip in Aussie a month ago. it was winter then and i experienced pretty heavy rain along Great Ocean road.
Stuff I brought:
5dm2 x1
24-105mm f/4 x 1
50mm f/1.4 x 1
430exII x 1
Sirui tripod x 1
GND filters x 1 set.
LP-E6 x 2
the 5dm2 stopped shooting on the 3rd day of my trip despite of all the gaffer tape i used on it. damn disappointing. I used my friend's 550d to shoot for the rest of my trip. Even shot in the snow with the 550d at Tasmania.
My advice is to always carry a backup camera body. And also have a compact with you just in case.

Sorry to hear that. Was it the temp or the rain (or both) that caused t? Did you shoot in the weather? What was the temp?
I used a 5D w 16-35 in Yosemite. Dry/10-15degrees celcius. Worked fine until battery door broke (secure with tape).
Moving on, I would love to bring rf for travelling but I dont know how to deal with the lack of focal lengths beyond 50 (R4M). 75? 135?
