Yep, as long as 40L is enough space for you. It depends on your gear and what you carry, but 40L is generally an overnight or weekend trip size of bag. I know people who would have trouble fitting their weekend backpacking gear into 40L, and I know people who have more compact gear and make do with less stuff and could backpack for a week with a 40L pack. Personally, I use my 45L pack (I don't have a 40L) for short trips and for week-long trips I bump up to my 65L pack since I'll be carrying more food and need to carry clothing for a wider range of weather possibilities. Hope that helps...
