Personally, I didn't want to carry around my huge backpack, but there were times when it was crucial! Having one big enough for all my stuff (which was minimal) plus whatever I picked up along the way was important. There were even points along the trip where I bought an extra smaller bag (no food for a few days) to carry some extras.. And then there were times where the small bags were tosses along with some clothes as it got warmer outside.
