Batteries are cheap, so you do want to have spares. CF cards aren't
that expensive, so you do want to have extras.

Two lenses: If it's a DSLR, you have more than one anyway to expand
your capabilities. As for insurance, if one fails you'll have to
change your shooting style - but can switch and carry on shooting.

A whole spare DLSR? - For what you are doing, the payoff isn't going
to be there.

Extra speedlights - if you can afford them, why not. Multiple flash
setups are useful, and extra units provide a backup too.

Someone pays them enough to live on.

It wouldn't have been a *super*model, that much I can guarantee.
