Two weeks of clothes in a 40x30x15 backpack? Do you change once a week or what?
- CafeRacer 1y agoYou know other countries have laundries too, right?
- johnisgood 1y agoThere is no way more than 1 day worth of clothes fit in a backpack, and this does not include accessories. Am I just supposed to buy clothes at the destination country?
- mikkom 1y agoNot sure what your definition of a backpack is but I was just traveling for over a week with this one and it was no problem to fit over a weeks worth of clothes, toiletries etc there https://www.tomtoc.com/products/40l-travel-backpack-carry-on https://www.tomtoc.com/products/40l-travel-backpack-carry-on
- johnisgood 1y agoCan it fit 5-7 underwear, 5 shirts, and 3 sweatpants, a couple of sweatshirts or hoodies and 1 jacket (might be cold where I am going), maybe 1 jeans, 2 different shoes (in a box)? I highly doubt it. On the photos of your backpack, seems like only 3 jeans fit, that is maybe 2-3 hoodies. This does not include toiletries. How many and what kind of clothes did you carry and what was your folding method (if you can explain)? I can't believe "weeks worth".
- rjh29 1y agoIt really depends on your personality doesn't it? If I was travelling for a week I would take one pair of trousers, the ones I am wearing on the plane. One pair of shoes, maybe two outers, one shirt/pants/socks per day. If you need more then a backpack isn't going to work. Can take even less if you do laundry once at the half way point.
- johnisgood 1y agoIt sure does. :) It also depends on where we are going. If I am going to the Middle East, I will not need much besides two robes. :D Alaska? Yeah, gotta pack up.
- mikkom 1y agoI had something like 9 pairs of t-shirts, underwear and socks, 1 or 2 (don't remember) extra long sleeved cotton shirt and 1 extra pair of jeans plus shampoos, moisturizer, toothbrush and paste, shaving stuff, 10 inch tablet, chargers, headphones, passport etc. Yes they fit quite nicely believe or not. This was scotland about a month ago. My folding method was: get some cheap packing cubes, one large with shirts (just flat), one smaller with underwear and socks (just put there) and one with toiletries, nothing special at all. You can stuff lot more than you think into 40 liters. Jeans and sometimes jacket I just stuffed there. btw I was able to sneak that backpack to ryanair flight even :-D
- johnisgood 1y agoSounds interesting if you could fit all that in the backpack you linked. I might give it a try.
- v5v3 1y agoMore than 1 day is easy. You can wear shorts/jeans multiple days, so just need multiple underwear and socks. Pack some light t-shirts and shirts rolled up. Merino wool t-shirts and some other natural materials can be worn multiple days. Also depends on weather, if it's winter and not sweating and humid you could wear the same top multiple days too.
- johnisgood 1y agoIf it is winter, you will need sweatshirts/hoodies and a jacket, too, though, and they can take up a lot of space.
- v5v3 1y agoAs per hiking. Base layer (thin material), mid (fleece) and waterproof/windproof shell (light).
- sebtron 1y agoBut then I would not call it "2 weeks of clothes". Otherwise 2 pieces of everything would "clothes for the rest of your life", but this is not what people mean with "clothes for x days".
