Default What do you pack for a 4-day?

I'd be interested to hear what you all pack for a 4-day trip, besides the obvious* (laptop or iPad, headset, underwear, socks, and of course food in one of those travel coolers.) Assuming you're based in a frigid Midwestern location in the winter, what kind of clothes do you pack?

*And of course, a 12-pack of Durex condoms for the larger man. Goes without saying.

Store them ahead of time and do not use hotel internet. Hotel internet is email/facebook/web browsing at most.

Most hotels in the evening will be bogged down anyways and newer ones are putting QoS software that will prevent such streaming anyways. Hell even 480i youtube can chug along most of the time.

I always store a few movies before I go on a trip anyways

Thank you. That makes pretty good sense. I was talking to a guy today who swore he never packs any uniform stuff beyond what he wears on Day 1. Seems like after 4 days, a shirt might get kinda ripe...

Although, how on Earth do you fit all that into one rollaboard plus one cooler bag?
