    Why not?

    I just backpacked home 18 cans which is about exactly 6 litres.

    But I could easily also fit 3 2 l bottles or 6 1l bottles or 12 0.5 bottles.

    And that still leaves like half to a third of my backpack available, depending on the shape of the containers.

    Backpacks are usually around 20-30 liters in size.

      1.25L actually if you look at the top of them. but that must be an exceptionally big backpack. or maybe that size is just not that common in my country for some reason

        There are all imaginable backpack sizes in my country.

        It’s not really not the size, most backpacks really are at least 20 liters. It’s the shape. But mine would take 6 1.25 litre bottles, easy. It’s a large quality rucksack. I’ve had it for literally more than a quarter of a century. Something like 26-27 years prolly.

        But I agree, 6x 1.25 l bottles in a very basic backpack might present a challenge, because it’s usually not wide enough for one to go sideways on the bottom (mine is tho, for 1.25l, which is uncommon size here tho). Or just put three at the bottom and then three upside down on top of them. Even a basic backpack could do that I’m sure.
