As I have aged, my body has let me know that carrying a camera around my neck and a bag off my shoulder did damage. I put down the heavy stuff for the last decade of my career, but it was too late.

Unfortunately, youth can be stubborn and they want to look important; that means multiple bodies and lenses [especially long glass].

Henri Cartier-Bresson was known for using only one camera, a Leica rangefinder, and one lens, a 50mm. He did alright.
