Do you roll or fold your clothes when packing? 🤔🤔

@kittykat7618 3 года назад

Roll, so much more compact.

@shelleynail5544 3 года назад

I do both. I lay my jeans or pants flat then roll the rest.

@GitanotMargarita 3 года назад

Depends on the item, most of it is rolled but there are bulkier items that I fold/lay flat on top

@rocioiribe5841 3 года назад

I do folding and then i fold/roll in half kind of like a taco that way they can all line up neatly (like standing) in my packing cube

@asoonami 3 года назад

Mix of both, whatever method that gets them into a packing cube with least amount of wasted space.

@theranman0000 2 года назад

I’m a flight attendant and I one bag carry when not working. I roll my clothes and I swear by compression packing cubes. I love the organization and the space saving features. You get a lot more space for the buck with them. Just know that the more stuff you bring, the more weight you deal with. I go with neutral’ish clothing to mix and match different articles to stretch out outfits over longer trips. Multiuse articles are also a gain changer.

@victoriadell614 3 года назад

I lean/lay against the wall with my plastic compression sacks - easy to get the air out that way. The 1 gallon Ziploc bags also work well for socks. Just know that your bag will be extra dense using these. While they compress the space - they don't reduce the weight. A challenge for budget airlines.

@bearisland55 3 года назад

As a diehard one-bag traveler, I love your tips and videos! It would be great to see a video on how to pack light for two totally different locations in one trip. I'm planning an Everest Base Camp trek with a stopover in steamy Singapore for next year. Yikes! A lot of stuff for one small bag. I'm still working on it... ☺️

Great tips! Huge fan of packing cubes. I tell everyone to use them and often give them as gifts! I also tell everyone who will listen to PACK LIGHT!

@luharvey77 3 года назад

Back in the day (read: before my conversion to traveling light), my family of then 7 (kids aged 11mos-7yrs) spent 17 days in Italy. I felt pretty good about our five suitcases, lol. The smartest thing we did was pack an outfit a day for each child in a ziploc bag. That helped us to stay organized and keep track of all those little socks, lol!

I will add in on your tips. I bring black and grey climbing pants and then buy primary coloured shirts or shirts with a little pattern. Goes with any pants but adds a little colour.

@kathrynhiggins9227 Год назад

Be aware that if you are traveling to Africa, a number of countries (like Kenya and Tanzania) have outlawed plastic bags, including ziplock plastic bags. Occasionally some checkpoints will let you through with ziplock bags if they believe you will not be leaving them in the country. However, you can’t really count on that and the fines are fairly hefty.

Can anyone recommend packing cubes with this backpack? I'm fairly new to the game and not sure if all packing cubes, regardless of brand, come standard in sizes.

@unbiasly 3 года назад

the greatest pro tip is to go somewhere with good weather and not that conservative with attire :P for ladies that means more tank tops, shorts, lightweight dresses. more loose clothing that compresses super easily

@ladybugskywalker 2 года назад

I prefer rolling clothes, especially tops that wrinkle easily, maybe it's just the way I ranger roll so I don't get much wrinkles, and a proper packing cube can prevent it getting more wrinkly. If you smoothen your shirts before a tight ranger roll you can even reduce the wrinkles if you have to put them in a vacuum bag. I would fold trousers flat, and socks I would put one in the other and then flatten it, like how you got it when you first bought it, I see rolling and making it into a ball takes up more space in my packing cube than just laying them flat. Even if I fill them in shoes, flat way still makes it easier to fit and I can fit more in the same space.

@zerocooljpn Год назад

awesome video. I'm a big fan of the konmari and rolling methods. One thing though, in Japan we have similar plastic bags for packing, but they're supposed to be used with a vacuum (cleaning machine). Trying to push all the air out with your hands sounds very hard... it's like 10 seconds with a vacuum. Some even come with a special built-in vacuum socket. And you're supposed to put your clothes in immediately after they have been washed and fully dried, so they don't get mushy or affected by humidity, etc in case you decide to keep your clothes in the bag for a long time (like organizing your closet for summer, packing only your winter clothes separately for a while). I'd be very interested in any good method to keep wet (after exercise) clothes when they don't have time to dry up. Or at least any advice on what to do so it doesn't smell... if anyone has any good advice.

@PackHacker Год назад

@zerocooljpn Год назад

@@PackHacker ahaha. Sorry, now that I've watched many more of your wonderful vids I realize you probably chose this because you want to be able to do it without a cleaning machine, traveling light. I'm still interested in how to pack damp clothes if you guys have any advice ;) I'd prefer not to have my underwear hanging outside my bag walking around the city...

@nuvoclassic 11 месяцев назад

I close the ziploc bags 98% - then push out all the air and finish closing all the way.

@kotadawndragon 3 года назад

Ziplocs are great! I use them for just about everything. I'm going to try your idea of reinforcing the edges with duct tape. That might get me several more uses out of them. I use the heavy duty ones and they hold up pretty well. But by the end of the trip, they're usually just about done for. I saw a garment bag a few years ago that rolled up. According to the advertisement, you could lay your clothes out mostly flat, zip up the bag, and then roll it up like a sleeping bag. I can't remember what it was called though. Have you guys seen anything similar? And if so, does it work well?

@PackHacker 3 года назад

Hey Kota! Thanks for the comment. We haven't come across a garment bag like that yet but it sounds intriguing!

I’m getting better at packing light but find shoes especially challenging as my trips usually involve a good bit of hiking where I prefer boots, and some social events where I have be less …er… outdoorsy. I know one solution is to wear the boots on the plane but ugh … how do others solve this problem?

@fixerofthings 3 года назад

I've started wearing hiking sandals with surprising success. Wore out a couple pairs of Teva Hurricanes then went to the Xero Z-Trail. The Xero's didn't last longer but they are much lighter and easier to pack. They also double as shower shoes, hanging around the pool shoes, going to lunch with shorts on shoes, etc.

@asoonami 3 года назад

@@fixerofthings oh when I discovered Xero boots it was godsend! Much lighter than my Oboz. I have not tried their hiking sandals but could be easily tempted at this point.

easiest way to get the most air out of a ziplock back is to roll it, seal it when its rolled then unroll it flat

KISS: pants, dress shirts, or jumpers get folded flat and stacked; t-shirts (short- and long-sleeved), and underwear get rolled; rain jacket gets folded into the hood. Fertig.
