Currently planning a one way trip halfway across the country (Orange County, CA to Chicago) and I feel like I am lacking the bare minimum for a pack. I currently have a larger size backpack. Should I just buy a medium alice pack? I plan on packing: (one of the following clothing items will be worn at any given time) 3 t-shirts, two jeans, one pair of shorts, 4-5 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of underwear, 2 pairs of shoes, a spiral notebook, my sketchbook, a few pens and pencils, box of contact lenses (or just wear my glasses), fixed blade knife, 2 lighters, a few books, some waters and food. And I will be carrying my skateboard. The current backpack has 2 large compartments, 1 medium and 1 small compartment. Please suggest some other things to bring if necessary. This is also my first "big" trip. Thanks bros.
