I go on at least three 3-night trips every year, as well as one or a couple longer (usually 5-7 days) trips. What I've found works for me:

3 pair of underwear (socks, shorts, t-shirts)
1 pair of jeans - the ones I wear almost all the time
1 pair of camping-style khaki pants, the kind that the legs zip off of to make shorts. This serves both as my "backup" pants (in case my regular jeans get wet, etc.) as well as my "dress" pants (for restaurants and the like).
1 long-sleeve cotton collared shirt (like the khakis, find it at a camping store. Goes with the khaki's, and serves both as a "dress" shirt and as a backup riding shirt).

Then there's the external riding gear - jacket and Aerostich fleece/electric liner, overpants, and boots. I usually bring along a pair of tennis shoes - though I hate the bulk they add. If it's really cold then it's a little tougher because I also have to bring along fleece pants (that go between your jeans and overpants) and electric gloves. Electric vest (along with that fleece/electric liner) go with me on every trip, even in the summer.

And, like ffb, this works for me whether it's a 3-day or a 30-day trip. On the longer ones you just have to stop every few days at a laundromat.

Hardest lesson I've ever learned in biking is... go with less.

Cell, pocket full of cash money, credit cards, Kel-Tec 3AT(pistol), weed, couple of shirts, extra pair of jeans few drawers and socks and a cooler full of cold beer and riding gear....
Actually, except for the extra clothes it's the samesheit I always carry even if justgoing to the corner...
Come to think of it, plenty of times I have just gone to the corner ended up being gone for days!
Few other things that are always in the bags but again, that's all the time, not just for trip....
I wouldn't carry the weed and pistol at the same time. Could be ugly if you get busted.
Good thing I have state issued permits to carry both Of course when I go outta state, I gotta alter my MO.....

Take a piece of paper and a pen.

Then when something comes up you wish you had brought, you can start your listfor the next trip.

I wouldn't come down to Oklahoma waving some west coast "weed permit" at the local cops while carrying a pistol. You'll find your self working on the chain gang slopping pigs and cleaning out chicken houses for a good long while.

First, I would NEVER go to Oklahoma for any reason! Secondly I think that's outta state and I already addressed that....
