Alex Reeburn Haha. ikr. I always wonder from where did all these extra stuff come from after a fun trip is done. Maybe because you're not that excited to go back??
In that case you fold your shirts then roll them to give you more space, then continue to lay clothes out flat and fold them over as he did in the end of this video.
Don't waste a cm³. Makes me think of how I pack my motorcycle tank bag. Another easy win that sounds obvious but doesn't seem to be for many people: tighten a strap around an overfilled bag before zipping it close or open, instead of pulling hard on the zipper. An already closed zipper can handle quite some stress, but its separate "teeth" are very vulnerable while zipping or unzipping.
I am traveling almost every weekend for the past seven years and can tell you from experience that this way of packing is not the optimal one! When the video was loading I was thinking: "Is he going to pack just the stuff on the floor in the bag?" I have just one word for you to know how to pack compactly: rolled
+Tom Ayzenberg great vid n method but u have wayyyy too much stuff. packing is also about WEIGHT, not just the luggage itself. no one wants to lug 25-30 pounds on their back which is what you have here. a real backpacker opts for a shirt or two and only the pants he she is wearing with some personal items.
Davidgzmn solution to not going to prison for stealing is to not steal. same with trying to prove you didn't lie. uh, don't lie. most problems are self-generated.
Although it's great you fit everything in there, to get at literally anything in the bag you basically have the tear the entire thing apart... and then repack it. Yikes.
Awesome packing job! I definitely use the roll. Only thing with this is, the way the last articles of clothing were packed... if you're staying in hostals or travelling internationally, you essentially have to unpack each time in order to get to the socks / underwear, etc. But yes, great job, thanks for sharing!
I'm getting ready for a one week trip to Hawaii. And I have to share a suitcase with my mom. I've been seriously, been taking notes on this video. And bringing one suitcase is going to save us a fortune on Jet fair. Thank you. :)
I didn't mean it to sound that way. I generally pack 2 pair as well. Most of my trips are done on a motorcycle so I have to pack light and doing laundry isn't practical. I roll my stuff around a dowel rod though, cuts down on wrinkles and makes it easy to find stuff. Works better for my needs.
Impressive, I however am female and know my limitations. I need shoes, makeup and all that girl stuff when I travel. I can clean and pack an entire house in a week and unpack it and have everything in it's proper place in 4.5 hours. Trust me, I've done it. :) By the way, I didn't notice any toiletries go into the bag. Did I miss it?
This is fine for a single pack, single unpack type trip, but I dare you to do this over a month, spending two days in each place. Smart packing is about bringing only what you need, and making things accessible. 2 jeans(1 casual/1 formal), 1 shorts, 5 tshirts, 1 dress shirt 7 pairs socks/boxers, 1 gym shorts, 1 gym shirt, and MOST important, a few bags for dirties.
Yes. Packed. But to get at the bottom.. all of it has to come out. Why the need to interlock all of those shirts? Seems pointless and a great way to make life hard when you need to unpack/ get one shirt, say not the one on the top.
Thumbs up for the impressive packing. I thought I was good I could do a 3 night work trip with a small backpack. You just blew my mind , glad you took your reddit shirt :-)
This video is the best. It's 1 minute. Most other bag packing videos are 7-10 min, with long slow drawn out commentary. Come on pack the bag. This video is 1
Pretty good. I think you might be able to do a slightly better by placing the slacks and t-shirts in right after the shoes/socks, followed by the folded items (which end up in the middle of everything once the slacks & t-shirts are folded over / in). I'd like to see if you end up with a little more compaction, thus a bit more room (for souvenirs).
very good until the first morning when you need that underwear that is packed at the bottom of that clown car mess. You have to unpack it all to get to the stuff you need at the bottom.
OK, fair enough, but there's quite a lot of stuff most men would include that he doesn't... not just shaving foam, razor, toothpaste, toothbrush, shower gel, deodorant, medication etc, but also no camera, phone, charging leads, etc either. My point was a lot of people have a lot of additional stuff and it is usually that stuff which makes it impossible to do the neat trick with layering the clothes - it gets a lot harder to make it sll neat once you include that stuff.
