I never ride with a back pack if I can help it. A weekend away I can manage with just a tankbag / tailpack. For a week or more I have two 30L panniers. For a long trip abroad I also pack a tankbag with essential stuff like maps/toolkit/documents/drink and anything I need handy. If camping, I pack tent etc on rear seat.

You really do not need a lot of stuff. Take camping clothes washing stuff (comes in tube like toothpaste) to wash socks / pants so you only need a few. Just pack light and think hard about if you really will use what you are packing.
