I'm always curious what the heck people take that's different on longer trips. I can get 5 - 6 days in my 40 liter pack, then I need a bigger bear canister. The gear stays pretty much the same from one trip to the next, just the fuel and food changes.... and I always have enough room left in the pack for extras of both, if I don't need a bear can.
