I prefer to travel light - small a bag as possible - carrying 6 spare memory cards and 3 packs of batterys (always carry a new set of Duracell incase your charger has failed) thats it. Over my shoulder is a water bottle. Occsaionally I'll carry a tripod.
The missus gets to carry the tripods, seats, water bottles, beach tent, food, 24 cans of coke:)
One tip in urban environments- didn't happen to me but a friend - was don't carry your bank cards or train tickets in your camera bag. Someone sliced the strap and legged it. He got stuck in London with no cash and no ticket home. Railway station guards are not very helpfull either.
