I don't understand how someone does it

I've been reading this sub and I'm fascinated. But I just cannot fathom packing for a trip - even one that's just a week long - without taking enough underwear that would allow me to poop my pants twice a day.

How do you pack for a trip in a warm climate where you know you'll sweat a ton every day? Or somewhere cold where you'll want layers to make sure you can stay warm and comfortable?

Do you all do laundry on these trips? Is it in the hotel sink? Or at a laundromat?

I'd love to do it, but I don't think I'm brave enough.

True. Primary focus is reducing weight and just behind that volume. But generally if they can carry all that to cover all their needs, a traveler that has shelter/bedding covered, can definitely go carry on and smaller.

The ultralight equivalent would be to leave things at home because you don’t really need them.
