How Many Tripods

I have two of them - one was a present from our daughters and one I inherited from my mother - but I discovered some time ago that my mobile shooting style doesn't work well with tripods, so they get very little work. I do use my MeFoto monopod / walking stick a lot when I go bird-watching with my wife.

I have three tripods, one of which is the first tripod I bought back in the early '60s. I also have a monopod.
Although technically not a tripod, I have this little gadget that I found at the souvenir shop at Yosemite NP many years ago. Comes in handy as long as I can find something to clamp it to. If I clamp it to a table I suppose I could call it a quadpod.

I have about 3 tripods, a monopod and a Gorilla Pod, plus some cheap small ones for table top.

I have one Tripod - A lightweight, Sirui Carbon Fiber N2204. Easy to carry - extremely easy to set up and break down - one leg detaches to be a monopod. It works great for all my needs. The biggest thing I put on it is my 7D Mark II with Canon Battery Grip and a Sigma 150-600 lens mounted on a Nest Gimbal head, and it handles that set up easily (I have the Contemporary Sigma, not the heavier Sport. If I had the Sport or some larger lens, I would probably look for something a little beefier, but for what I have this is great)

One tripod and one monopod. Since I only shoot with one camera at a time, I don't see the need for more than that.
