I went to Costra Rica with a 20 lbs camera bag.
I met this guy from another group and he was tooting over 60lbs of gear.
Here was his set up at the hotel.
20lb tripod, gimbal head, focusing rail, camera body, remote trigger. He said that he has to take a couple of days off when he gets home to rest up.

20 pounds...that is about twice what I would take.

It's his back, but most of what he shoots could probably be done on an Iphone.

I'll bet he at least gets his photos in focus, but the photo of his camera isn't.

How you judge something has many variables. Just think, I did not go, did not have to carry anything, spent no money and don't need to rest up! Did I win?

But what was he shooting? Maybe all that gear was indeed necessary.

Are you sure he didn't have a pack mule behind the bushes?

I doubt it. If anything, I'd bet he missed countless interesting capture opportunities because he was so bogged down by all the gear.
