I carry cash up to $3,000 on trips. 30 100-dollar bills takes very little space. I may need to go to a bank to get smaller denominations as many places are wary of 100's and sometimes even 50's.
I have $200 or less in my pocket so that is all anyone is ever going to see in public. I don't wear a Rolex or other flashy jewelry so I am not a target for a mugger and I don't tend to travel to places like Florida where mugging has been a problem over the years.
I use a debit card with its PIN for most transactions where I might use cash like in a supermarket and credit cards for hotel charges, and fuel purchases. I like to use cash at restaurants as that is where I have experienced the most problems with people copying down my card information and then making purchases. I have the banks issue new cards with new numbers after every trip. There is no charge for doing this.
