Can you travel with a backpack for 2 weeks?

For this trip, I used a 32-liter backpack, the largest one I own, to hold everything I needed for two weeks. I packed my work computer, camera, and chargers; snacks, toiletries, and medications; one packing cube stuffed with clothing, and additional necessities like a raincoat, a tote, and a pair of shower slides.

Trips of 5 days or more usually call for packs of 70 liters or more. These are also usually the preferred choice for winter treks lasting more than 1 night. (Larger packs can more comfortably accommodate extra clothing, a warmer sleeping bag and a 4-season tent, which typically includes extra poles.)

About 4-5 clothes are plenty for a 2-week trip assuming you will be doing laundry. If not, I recommend at least eight clothes, including what you wear on the flight. This should be enough, assuming you can wear the same clothes a few times.

How many outfits you should pack for a 2-week trip depends on personal preference and the types of events you have planned. However, you should have an outfit for every day, plus extras for the weather. Therefore, you should include at least 14-16 outfits in your packing list.

Is 65 Litre backpack big enough for 2 weeks? For most people and most hiking routes, yes, a 65 liter pack is big enough for backpacking. It's perfect for a long weekend even if your gear list isn't exactly lightweight. With a thoughtful lightweight backpacking setup it's big enough for a week without resupply.

However, sometimes you simply can't travel only with a carry-on. If you go on a 2-week trip to Europe, there is a good chance you'll need at least a 25” suitcase, and perhaps even bigger 28” luggage will be more suitable. Still, within these suitcases, you want to choose one that weighs the least.

Start your packing process days or even weeks ahead of your departure date; this gives you time to craft a complete list, plus purchase any additional items you might need for your vacation. Creating a packing list is a fail-safe way to ensure that you never, ever forget to bring something important.
