Comment on Brand new bag

  For a 2-3 day trip i don’t need many clothes. 3 pairs of underwear, socks, and my work polos don’t take much space and easily pack around my laptop and hand tools. I’ll usually re-wear my slacks.

  Any longer and I’ll pack more, but usually use the hotel laundry to cut down on total bulk.

  Get a bigger backpack. I also assume they’re talking about 3-4 day trips at most, so “clothes” is just shirts and underwear (maybe a pyjama). Add a small wash bag (pro tip: get those small airplane bottles for shampoo) and you’re good to go, with plenty of space for a laptop, charger, phone charger, wallet etc.

    Oh, ok

    I just found it weird since fitting my clothes for 4 days would require a large hiking backpack

      If you tightly roll your clothes before packing them, then stuff them into a ziploc to do the poor man’s vacuum seal, you can dramatically reduce the volume of your clothing.

  Easily, if it’s a large enough backpack. For 3 days of clothing, it doesn’t even need to be large. I mean what do you need, some assortment of care products (available in small packs, usually, so don’t take a ton of space), maybe a razor and hairbrush, toothbrush (negligibly tiny anyway) and then 3 days of clothing don’t take that much space unless you change your pants (not the british kind) or sweatshirt every day. And even then a large-ish backpack could fit it.

  I went on a 5 day trip with just an average size backpack and laptop bag, and that included bringing the laptop. And headphones. Clothing doesn’t take that much space if you fold it and compress a bit.
