Cold Weather Travel! How to pack efficiently for cold weather travel!

[@33Jenesis]

I swear by merino wool when it’s below zero or windy; from accessories, base layers, to mid layer. I bought a pair of down lined wind and rain resistant pants from Amazon last week. What a difference! One thing about keeping warm is to eat something. Food in stomach is like fire inside body. Eat less, eat often, eat calorie dense food will keep core temperature from dropping fast. Footwear that isn’t waterproof is torture, not even wool socks can help. I usually didn’t find out until in the rain or snow. I have footwear that I don’t use in winter because moisture or water somehow would get into footbed from experience.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thanks for the great tips! One thing with her, but if you don’t want too much food in your stomach, otherwise all the blood will rush from extremities do your stomach, causing your hands and feet to be cold. 😉

Thank you for the balaclava hat hack! I had never seen someone do that before!! We have a balaclava from ski lessons that no one cares for / has used in years, but we are also short a hat in one of our vehicles, so I just repurposed it and tossed it out there!!

[@TheoryofSimple]

I’m so glad you got a great hack from this video! So now you have a balacava and a hat in your car😊💕

Level 8 luggage is functional and secure luggage. I used several of your travel trips during my holiday trip to Colorado. I packed snacks in bento boxes. I separated must haves in my carry on luggage just in case luggage was lost. I was part of the Southwest Christmas Eve delayed flights. Your YT channel resonants with me. Please keep your travel tips coming. Thank You

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you! So happy my content has helped you you trips! 😀

I'm team packing cube. Level8 is great! When I first started traveling I didn't have packing cubes and when my suitcase needed to be inspected it was a mess. Now, with packing cubes, it is so easy and quick.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Unfortunately, I had the same experience that taught me a very valuable lesson about packing cubes. They inspected my luggage and everything with jumbled around and it was not fun to search through to make sure I had everything that I originally packed. Plus I have stayed in places where they don’t have a dresser so I’ve had use my suitcase as a dresser and this helps. Keep me organized on the road.. thanks so much for your feedback and wishing you the best of luck in the giveaway!

Level8 is Great!

[@orapronobis2149]

As a knitter merino wool is self cleaning. So with sweaters for instance made with meriono wool unless really soiled with food, just air out. Since likely it is cold weather and you are able to hang outside for a few hours and instant clean! So, perfect use when traveling to wear Merino wool clothing.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Merino wool really is the perfect fabric for almost a year round and definitely for travel! I don’t know what it is about lol but it never smells and like you said unless you get something spilled on it, you can wear it for a long time and it looks good too! I’ve been trying to find some good marina wool to crochet with, but I can’t find anything. I really like at my local stores and buying things off Amazon. I just never know if it’s any good so if you have a brand you’d like to recommend I’d love to hear it.😊

[@marleneschick4768]

Level8 is great! (and I love how you use hair ties to organize your gloves, hat and ear warmers!)

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thanks! Plus it gives me a extra hIr tie! Best of luck to you in the giveaway!😊

[@Stormbrise]

You inspire me to try to pack lighter, however I am one of those who end up having to pay for an extra checked bag. Here i believe that Level 8 is great!Especially if its dimensions work well with European airlines. The unique design would allow me to pack a bit more in my carry on and not have an expanding backpack that will get gate checked or, I will get told it is too large for a carry on item. Those European airlines again. I hope that you hit the 20K subscribers! Your videos are one of the best out there for travel. I have been subscribed for awhile now, and I always try to like the videos (helps me remember later that I have already seen the video) and comment. Doing both of these pushes the KZbin algorithm to feature your video so you can get even more subscribers. Oh and I am team compression cube. Reason why I need extra bags is my tech, and beads that I bring to back and forth which is my favorite hobby. Native American beadwork is my favorite. This year, I may leave my beads behind and just buy new per project.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you, Stormbrise! I’m an over packer too I am just good at organizing it so I can fit more in😂 Level8 is sold in Europe so I presume they have the carry on limits down. Wishing you the best of luck with the giveaway!

Congrats on the 10K subscribers. Level 8 is great. I'm "Team Packing Cubes", for sure. DH and I just did a 4 week winter trip through Scandinavia and the Arctic and were moving around a lot, staying in hotel rooms with little to no storage and also 11 nts in a tiny inside cabin on passenger ferry with very shallow shelves in the closet . Our packing cubes fit just perfectly while keeping everything organized and safe. I was also glad to have a few pairs of slippers for the flights, hotels and cabin, and an umbrella for protection from rain, not so much from sun in Arctic winter.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Uniqlo heat tech long johns are my go to under layers. Pro - tip, a scarf or neck gator will keep you warmer than most heavy sweaters. The Eddie Bauer Evertherm jacket (made with proprietary compressed down sheets for insulation) paired with a cashmere sweater is all you need for most cold weather climates up to 10F.

[@TheoryofSimple]

I agree! I would rather layer thin layers on then have bulky layers on any time! You can always peel away, or add on if you get hot or cold! Plus it’s just more versatile💕😊

[@heatherframpton9693]

Tank tops are one of my everyday layering items! 😁 Also helps if a top has the tendency to sit a bit higher...keeps areas covered. 😁❤️

Perfect timing, I leave in a week for a trip to the midwest (I live in the desert) and it's been close to 30 years since I've been in cold weather for any length of time. This is a 3 week trip so I know the weather can go from cold to warm overnight (I grew up in the midwest) so packing just the right stuff is necessary (I never would have thought of taking an umbrella but it's now on my list). Congrats on the 10K subs, you deserve it and more, your content is great! Level 8 is great!

[@laurilenhardt2188]

Team packing cube, but no compression. I find that the compression portion only really works on the outer edge, and the center stays the exact same height. Since that's the case I prefer not to add any additional squeezing and I avoid any extra wrinkling.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Agree! It humps up! If you pack things in tightly it will automatically compress. 😊

[@ellybea68]

Great packing! I’m packing my bag for a two month trip to/in the snow in the US and Europe. I can’t wear my snow boots on the plane from Australia so they stuffed full of socks, in plastic bags and are in my carryon. They take up an awful lot of real estate in my bag but are so necessary. I will be wearing my runners and my third pair of shoes are black slip ons that do double duty to wear in the hotel for dinners/breakfasts and also as slippers.I pack light. I have three pair of pants and exercise leggings that can also be layered under pants if it’s cold. I chose jeans, fleece-lined pants and dressy sweat pants. For tops I have a blouse for dinners, four Marino wool sweaters and four thermal wool tops. I will wear a t-shirt, fleece sweater and jeans on the plane. Other essentials for my bag include a small first aid/COVID kit, exercise bands, gloves and scarves. I have to keep my total bag weight down because of my bodgy back but it is fully packed and weighs 8.5 kgs. I’m hoping I’ll get it on as carryon but may need to check it. I will also take a small backpack and my Hedgren crossbody bag which will hopefully fit into the backpack. The backpack will have my headphones, medication and vitamins, (minimal) toiletries, hearing aides, electric toothbrush, my iPad, phone, chargers, passport etc. I think I have it all covered.I’m still deciding which coat to take but probably a ski jacket (even though I don’t ski anymore) because it will keep me warm and dry. I figure one coat will work better than a puffy and rain jacket. I’m leaving in 9 days so still have these last few days to mull over the final contents of my bag. Now I have to pack for my husband which is much more challenging!

[@TheoryofSimple]

If you want a little extra head, I would use my Crossbody bag as a packing cube so that you can get it in your luggage and use it later and then wear a waist pack around your waist when you’re getting on the plane. Most of the time you can swing that around to the back and tie your jacket around your waist so that it’s hidden and you can get on the plane with that small extra bag. I did a whole video on this and you’ll find that in my travel hacks playlist. regarding a raincoat, I would consider bringing one because I’m not sure where you going in the US and Europe, but it could be raining or sleeting, and your puffer could get wet and not keep you warm and take forever to dry. You can buy a packable, thin rainshadow that you can lay her over the puffer or that you could put over a nice puffy vest, which will keep you relatively warm unless you’re in extremely cold weather. Thanks so much for your comments and chips and wishing you the best of luck in the giveaway away.

[@ellybea68]

Thanks so much for your comments. I had thought of using the Hedgren as a cube and it’s been in and out of my bag numerous times. I like having everyone I need all together and everything seems to get lost in my small backpack so this seems like the best option, even though it’s slightly fiddly. An alternative would be to have one of those long passport wallets but that would just be one more thing to cart around. I still can’t decide on the coat. I love my puffy but the ski jacket is just as warm and has the added bonus of being waterproof. Even though I don’t ski anymore we will be spending much/most of our time at/near ski resorts so I would fit in well either way. I’ve taken the puffy before and got wet because I don’t carry the shall around so I can be be hands-free. I’m thinking about buying a new jacket overseas but need something until then. Thanks again

Level8 is great! I am team compression packing cube. That doesn't mean I cram as much as it could possibly hold though. Compression just means everything is held down tightly so it can hold more. It won't shift in the packing cube.

Thank you so much Lori and I’m wishing you the best of luck in the giveaway!

I am glad it's not only me who thinks about tracking what comes out from the bathroom on my feet when flying. It's for this reason I don't really throw my personal item on the floor under the seat in front of me. I let it rest on top of my feet during takeoff and landing if I need to. I've yet to not have cupboard space for NY carryon luggage. Knock on wood. I hope you are doing well E!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thanks, Brandon! It really is amazing how filthy those bathrooms can be, and sometimes on those long flights to give you those socks to wear, but they just soaked through the socks on your feet and it’s disgusting! I also always make sure I wipe the bottom of my shoes before I put them back into their carrying case!

[@wendybeattie6935]

I put my under seat bag in a washable grocery bag and wash it when I arrive to use there - I also put a large ziplock in the seat back pouch to put my items in - keeps them clean, and I don’t lose or forget anything in the piuch

[@jenharvey3397]

@@TheoryofSimple I like hard soled travel slippers for the same reason, and wipe them with antibiotic wipes before repacking them. I like the FitKicks, they take up absolutely no space at all! Even in my purse (because of course I would never be such a barbarian as to wear outdoor shoes into someone else's house!) I pocket a few of those foot cover pantyhose toes when I'm in a shoe store to going through airport security, that way I can just toss them in the garbage once I'm through. Saves having my socks on that icky airport floor!

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@jenharvey3397 great ideas! I hate going through airport security, and having to remove my shoes and be barefoot! That’s why I TSA pre-check is great because you don’t have to remove your shoes!

[@Brandon-0028]

@@TheoryofSimple Oh i know. Its fun to share this perspective with my friends because some people just are unaware. We always wipe our shoes with anti-bac wipes when we get home from a trip or before putting them back into our shoe pouches.

Level8 is great! I like to use packing cubes for some items. Really enjoy your videos Eunice and have learned some new packing tips. Please take care. I’m on the East Coast but have been watching the weather problems in your part of the country.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Patti! The weather here has been so dreary for the last three weeks…raining practically every day. We have been more fortunate than others. We’ve only lost one tree in our front yard but there’s another one about ready to come down! But all in all, we are doing well! Wishing you the best of luck in the giveaway!
