40L is fucking tiny dude. And do you mean riding trains around and going to hotels and hostels or actually some trekking

>>2864951
How many people trek with a laptop?

You can get a large backpack for less than $10 in Third World countries.

Nobody wants a chinese piece of shit that falls apart in a couple days. Certain brands are proven durable and long lasting, and have ideal layouts.

Go ahead and reply with your cope now.

This particular bag is a reddit favorite but it's actually fairly decent. It's within size regulations of most airlines for a carry on which is its main selling point while still having most the niceties expected of a proper trekking bag like a hip belt and a frame. Its only real weakness is the awful bottle pockets which are too small and poorly positioned (on the back and not the side of the bag so the weight is leveraged and feels worse than it should).

Almost all bags are made in China including those from high end brands. And some Chinese brands are pretty high quality like Naturehike.

I haven't gone anywhere without two 80L suitcases ever since I got into my 30s.

My tolerance for discomfort and inconvience keeps decreasing with age so by the time I'm 50 I'll probably be bringing 3 suitcases.

You're the consoomerist coping with your acquisitive behavior. A marketer's perfect mark, you want to buy Brandname(TM) product simply because it's talked about a lot, and you hope this trend-following behavior will implicitly signal your normie status to chicks at hostels, thus increasing the likelihood of sexo.

Yes its fine, its what I have. Get some packing cubes. Get a small stuff backpack for day trips and leave your big bag at the hostel.

Saw a post by jeremymaluf who is a kind of minimalist faggot, and wonder what you guys think about it. To me these guys just seem to ignore reality and try to find a one size fits all tool which inevitably means that the tool is inadequate for some of the tasks but they like to completely disregard those issues.

It will work but something that's built to secure your laptop then everything else is best. Just get a backpack designed for a 17 inch laptop and roll.

Also why not just get a small rolling carry-on sized thing, it makes life infinitely easier. Multi month travel with only a backpack is doable sure, but only if you don't mind constantly packing shit in X way. One bag travel is only impressive or a cool idea to those who don't really travel.

bro just use rubber bands saves so much more space and compresses at the same time

Like most people? if nothing else most people bring a tablet+case/keyboard combo. If something goes wrong on your trip a laptop makes fixing things vastly easier to handle.

I have no idea about name brand stuff. I just used a foldable duffel bag and a regular carry-on. Kept my main clothes in my duffel. Was very easy to move around with. Toiletry bag, laptop, chargers, socks, and other small things in my backpack. Didn't have to pay any of the extra fees for baggage, even when using Ryanair, but I know they've gotten more strict in the last few years about bag sizes. I lived out of this for like 5 months. It was fine just be sure to go to a laundromat whenever you get a chance. Would also recommend getting a new pair of quality walking shoes before you go.

>>2864562
I am telling you. Get a suitcase with large size so you can pack like 50 of everything and not have a bunch of smelly shit on all the time. Plus if it has good wheels you can easily push it or haul it instead of doing long term damage to your kneck and back. I know people get all mad and butthurt about the clacking sound of wheels but they are just haters.

>>2864562
That's fine IF you aren't bringing back much. The problem is you will probably want to since you said multi month.

How big? 13" Macbook Air or an 18" gaming laptop?

I've got the fairpoint 40. Fucking love it. Travelled widely with it, and it holds a surprising amount.

I've even somehow used it as cabin baggage for about 20 or so flights in Europe.

Lugging suitcases around can be fucking shit. When I land with a backpack, I'm in /trv/ mode from the get go. Suitcases put you at the mercy of hotel check in and out times.

Cubes aren't just about saving space, though. It's simple shit like knowing exactly where stuff is without rummaging around and fucking up your pack. It's handy for segregating clothes which need washing, too.
