Both have their own advantages and there are pros and cons with both options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I generally choose to travel with a backpack in the following situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I\u2019m going to be sleeping outdoors\/in tents<\/li><li>I have longish distances when I\u2019m going to have to carry my luggage.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When I pack for travelling with a backpack, I pack everything in smaller pack bags to have inside the backpack. So I have one bag for socks, one for sleeping clothes, one for underwear, one for charging cables etc. You get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-1.jpg\" alt=\"Backpack or suitcase - which should you bring?\" class=\"wp-image-942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-1.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>Backpack or suitcase &#8211; which should you bring?

It also makes it simpler to find things within the bag if you have different coloured bags. You\u2019ll soon learn that the black bag has socks, the blue bag has sleeping clothes etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-2.jpg\" alt=\"Suitcases often come in prettier colours and designs than rucksacks!\" class=\"wp-image-943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-2.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>Suitcases often come in prettier colours and designs than rucksacks! Photo: Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I choose the suitcase in the following situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I don\u2019t need to carry my luggage any distance.<\/li><li>I\u2019m staying indoors on all nights.<\/li><li>I need to bring things like computers, nicer clothes etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing with a suitcase is that you can pack things flat \u2013 so you can bring clothes that are ironed and they still look OK when you get there. In a suitcase you can also have the clothes folded in nice piles and keep them in there for the whole journey. You can use the suitcase as a \u201cclothes drawer\u201d with your clothes neatly folded inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-4.jpg\" alt=\"Luggage transfer between cabins on one of our hiking tours in Norway.\" class=\"wp-image-945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Luggage transfer between cabins on one of our hiking tours in Norway. Photo: Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You also have a better overview of everything inside your bag once opened. You can easily access everything within the suitcase without having to taking everything else out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is bulky and hard to carry for any longer distances, even if you have rolling luggage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-3.jpg\" alt=\"You can't take a suitcase on a  hiking tour in the mountains! \" class=\"wp-image-944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>You can&#8217;t take a suitcase on a  hiking tour in the mountains! Photo: Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said, there are pros and cons with both options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do sometimes combine both types of luggage. For example, I\u2019ll bring a backpack as my main luggage and a smaller rolling suitcase as my hand luggage. This is useful if I\u2019m travelling on a business trip and I\u2019m going to be outdoors a lot, but I\u2019ll also need my computer and some nice clothes for dinner occasions. However, this requires me to be able to store my rolling bag somewhere if I go for a longer hike or dogsled tour, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-5.jpg\" alt=\"You'll want a good backpack with hip belt for an extended hiking tour. \" class=\"wp-image-946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-5.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/backpack-suitcase-5-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>You&#8217;ll want a good backpack with hip belt for an extended hiking tour. Photo: Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If on the other hand I\u2019m mostly staying indoors, I choose a rolling suitcase as my main luggage and a smaller backpack as hand luggage. I can then leave the main luggage in my room and use the smaller backpack for day activities in the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a third choice! I admit at the moment I often travel with a rolling duffel bag that also has backpack straps on and can be can be carried as a backpack. It gives me some of the benefits from both options! (I use a Berghaus Mule \u2013 you can see our review article here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when it comes to spending time in the outdoors, nothing beats the old backpack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kind regards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sofia from the Nature Travels team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sofia from the Nature Travels spends a great deal of time travelling and gives her thoughts&#8230; I travel regularly and I sometimes pack my suitcase and sometimes my backpack.
