Somewhere between naked and everything but the kitchen sink

All,
I was just forced to buy a new camera bag as I have exceeded the loadout capacity of my current bag. That raised a question in my mind as to how much gear do I actually need to have at any time (and by "raised" I mean my wife asking me if all of "that" is really necessary).
So, I thought I would come to this learned and august group and see what gear you consider to be the essentials for your photographic wanderings.
Let's say you are looking at a day of walking but not necessarily strenuous hiking/climing. Assume the usual lighting/topographical challenges of our beloved Vermont.
Tripod and monopod? What range of filters? A decent number of lens options or just a couple of super-zooms?
Thanks!
Dean
