Default Backpacks Classification

I often see posts here where people ask about what's the backpack they should carry on a certain trip. So I decided to share something from my experience which may help them.

Trips up to 1 day + 1 night - backpack bellow 50 liters capacity.
Trips up to 3 days + 2 nights - backpack of 50 - 65 liters capacity.
Trips up to 1 week - backpack of 65 - 100 liters capacity.
Trips up to 2 weeks or more - backpack of 100-120+ liters capacity.
