Buzz,

Great idea! :-) Usually manage just fine, and I'm neither big nor strong.
One large suitcase and one full camera bag. Works for me!

Speaking practically, I usually work from a car. When I reach a location,
I just grab what I need from the bag. This is rarely more than two cameras
with lenses mounted. As one is often my M5, there is no conflict with the
bodies as it hangs from the side lugs.
