Can't decide on a bag

I have two backpacks in my possession. The orange one is rather large - too large, I think. I know that one of my strengths/weaknesses is that I can fill any piece of luggage to the max. Great for international flights; not so great for 4 weeks across Spain.


The pink one is a bit small - likely too small. A huge part of me would like to think that I'll just fill it to the max (per my strength/weakness) and make due with those exact items. It would help in eliminating unnecessary goods, which all the guidebooks say are far too easy to bring along. My biggest concern is that this bag was purchased at the local, cheap grocery store. Will it hold up?


Are there any experienced hikers out there with a valid opinion?

    Pack the small one. Cram it full with everything you think you'll need. Keep editing it. Then--the night before you leave--transfer everything from the small backpack to the large one. Don't add anything to it unless it's an ABSOLUTE necessity. Then it should be manageable and there will be room for a small souvenir or two on the way back.
