all my needs into a carry-on and a backpack. Needless to say, I'll do a trail packing. Unfortunately I'll need a lot of cold/cool weather clothing.

What bothers in is that the airlines don't really adhere to their size limits. I've seem many carry-ons and backpacks that should have been checked, which leaves overhead space limited, hence people have to leave their luggage at the door.
