My friend, Joanne wanted to help me with my packing for our trip to Alaska so she sent me this YouTube video which I found very interesting. I'm wondering if I'd want to do this.
Now I need to go buy a Carry-On case that would be the perfect size. It's different from my rolling-clothes-into-plastic-freezer-bags trick, but it sure does manage to fit a lot into a suitcase.
The only problem I see is the fact that it's all stacked together so I can't rummage around the suitcase for things like I usually do. Never mind... I think I'll stick to my usual method.

ReplyDeleteThat was an interesting video. I guess they are advertising their suitcases as the ideal travel luggage.
Have a wonderfilled trip.
That's an amazing demonstration.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had all those nice clothes to pack.
But that one pack alone weighs 22 lb, he said. I don't know how it is in the USA, but over here the airlines limit your carry-on weight.
Kay, you are the one who should be making the videos for expert packing.
Not sure I'd want to have to lug that up and down out of the overhead bin. But these days they charge to check a bag, so we are definitely getting creative, aren't we?
ReplyDeleteIf your system works for you there's no need to change it. Interesting video, though:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm the worst packer ever and that probably isn't going to change, but maybe I can take some tips from this.
ReplyDeleteI do the ziploc thing because years ago, airport staff would go thru suitcases and touching clothes w/out wearing gloves like they do now.. I do know that rolling small articles helps and I will put tissue paper between larger clothes then fold them- no wrinkles guaranteed!. :-)
ReplyDeleteI never leave home but if I do i will keep this in mind,
ReplyDeleteInteresting, but probably not for me either. I use zippered packing cubes and shirt boards. Much easier to get at the stuff you want.
ReplyDeleteDavid and I watched this video and will pack accordingly. We never check in bags; we always use carryons. Mahalo, Kay!
ReplyDeleteinteresting, not for me, but I can see it working for some.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the video. That method does use up the between spaces quite nicely. I might try this method on the return trip back home when you don't need to pick through the stack. That's when I have the most trouble fitting everything back in the suitcase. I think I'll reserve this method for the large suitcases. With the new baggage fees, everyone likes to use the largest heaviest carryons...not a very pleasant task finding overhead bin space these days. So far, we've been lucky to have our first baggage fee waived. Delta Platinum credit card will waive a Delta baggage fee just for being a cardholder. Also, US Bank FlexPerks award flight, $25 onflight allowance waives most first baggage fees. Elite fliers also get some nice perks. We lost our Delta Medallion but I recall 2 free bags.
ReplyDeleteL.
I swear by these at the Container Store. These have taken me all over China and a road trip through the western USA.

Interesting!! I always pack wayyy too much but then I don't fly these days.
ReplyDeleteinteresting tip!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. My husband and I are planning a trip for later this month. We use packing cubes, but we always check our bags. I may switch to a carry-on because I don't want to lug around the heavy check-in bag. I always overpack, but am not as creative in what I take as the man in this video. I think there is something to be learned from this demonstration.
ReplyDeletewell I just got home and unpacked but he had an interesting method. I took on suitcase almost 50 pounds and two carryons-my laptop-too heavy and other stuff. It's great to be home. Have a good trip to Alaska!
ReplyDeleteThat's certainly an interesting method but too complicated for me I fear.
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect for going on a cruise. Unpack and hang everything up, tra la.
ReplyDeleteThere are never enough hangers, so I hang multiple items on one hanger, usually color-coded.
Over the years, I've built up a nice collection of Tilley travel clothes — the Tilley Jerseys and the Tilley cottons. This method would work very well for me.
Thanks, Kay.

G and I both watched this enthusiastically. I've used his packing list for years, and now I will try his bundle method with two bundles....or maybe three. One for each leg of the trip. That might be the trick. That all will fit nicely in my old rolling bag...and remember, I am traveling via train too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this. Hugs.
I found this video very helpful .Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThink I'll just stay home :)

LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI'll see how it works!
Interesting! I always pack a change of clothes and necessities in my carry-on. That way if the luggage is lost, I at least have underwear and a change of clothes!
