When on a photo trip or mission, I travel heavy. As many as three cameras and half a dozen lenses. Pretty much covers anything I might want to do. However, I always have a camera, even without specific photo plans. When I go to the City it is the Leica D Lux 109 or the DF with 24-120 or 24-85. In the country, more an issue of distance vs. coverage. Often the D7200 with 200-500 or D3 with old AF 80-200, sometimes D750 with 70 or 75-300. The first covers the distance, but is not the best for landscape or other general subjects. The latter two don't have the range, but are more flexible. Always a compromise, and sometimes the camera / lens combination on hand dictates practical subject choice. What do you prefer for your type of photography?

With varied interests and a variety of subject matter around me, although I primarily am drawn to wildlife, I take a variety of gear with me so as to be prepared to retrain my aim at any given moment so I have several "under the bed" type stackable plastic storage boxes loaded for different occasions depending on what might pop up without notice. I learned early on to not travel miles in search of subject matter without the flexibility to meet the occasion, whatever that happens to be, so I go "prepared" rather than miss a moment and have to go back when often the reason to go back is long gone.
