You would be surprised what you can carry. I carry a 22" PNT bag and a medium size computer bag and I travel trips that average 17 days... ( have done 29 ) its all a matter of WHAT you carry and how you pack it... yes i have to wash clothes at some point but here is what I carry....
8 pair of black socks
2 pair of athletic socks
10 pair underwear
4 "under armour" "dri" t-shirts
3 light nylon polo shirts
1 regular polo shirt
2 regular t-shirts
1 work out shorts
1 walking shorts
1 pair of jeans
2 uniform pants
4 uniform shirts
tie
ball cap
bathroom stuff
running shoes
work shoes
belt
Realize of course of the above I have one set of something on ...either uniform ..or other set of clothes.
It can be done..its a learned art.
in my computer bag I have a MAC Book Pro, binder with various flying crap, thin aluminum clip board, bose QC-15, reflective vest, plotter, pens/pencils and flashlight.
whew... I need to carry less.

Wow... I think this post sums up APC quite well. A ***** fest over who can pack better than the other, and how one persons opinion of what to pack should dictate the other. And the usual spelling Nazis who got molested as a child by the letter i.

My apologies if I appeared mean. For some reason uniform is a sticky point with me. Must be those 12 freaking years of catholic school. Those nuns were the ultimate uniform nazis.

Besides, parking in far off ramp areas, especially in foreign countries, wearing of the vest is a law when walking around. You know, like when you go to Canada and as soon as the FO steps outside the ramper hands him the vest.
Funny, the AE guys in my crashpad got their own vests.

Ahhh, the vest. I remember after a Vancouver overnight stepping into the jet way after the walk around, two of the flight attendants were just walking up and they started laughing so hard I thought they'd spill their coffees. The one looks at me and says, "sorry, but you look just like a traffic cop." They were right, I had on the black leather flight jacket and hat. My response was, "hmmm, maybe I can get a raise and a pension now,"
