I'm very impressed. I really didn't think all that would fit in the backpack.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Travelling with carry on only is possible and absolutely convenient on so many point of views :)

[@pastlink]

The rolling underwear tip is a total game-changer!!!! Thank you!

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

It was for me, I'm glad I shared it! :)

[@suman2175]

I got so many grandma panties! Now going to roll them and see they don't turn into a giant bun!

[@Backpacks]

yes, taking the rolling method as well!!!

[@maobfh]

While I know that this is an old video, you might see the comments and I just want to add a few things. Packing light for cold weather: if you can find silk long underwear, they are very thin, light and pack very very small but you wear them under your clothes and they keep you very warm. I have used them at 14000 feet during a snowstorm and stayed very warm with only a long sleeve T-shirt and a camisole. They are not as common and often cost $50-$100 per set (top and bottom) but will last decades. My daughter has an old pair of mine that were my mother’s before me and they have to be over 50 years but still look fine. And work fin. They roll to the size of a pair of ankle socks. When you fold your jeans, tuck one leg in and fold the other leg about 4-5 inches from the end and tuck the jeans into the pocket you created. Try to alternate which sock you fold over. If you cannot tell the difference of one from the other then you are already doing this. But if one sock is looser than the other, tuck the loose one in and fold over the other. Socks are the worst for stretching out and then they slide down into your shoe. Sometimes I will pack my clothes into an entire change per roll so I can grab a roll to go shower. I will do this if I have to go to another building to shower and don’t really have the space to pull everything one at a time. Dorms, hostels and similar. And pack extra socks and underwear in side pockets. When I wash clothes, I repack in the same way.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

The video is old but still gold and lots of people keep watching it, so your advices will be certainly read. Silk underwear is interesting, I don’t know much about it. Sure it keeps warm and sure it will last forever, my concern is about how comfortable it can be: as far as I know , silk cannot be mixed with synthetic materials like cotton does, to make it stretchy. Am I right? I imagine having non stretchy underwear might be quite uncomfortable...

[@marcofamaonline]

[@lohphat]

Rick Steves has a similar mantra, you can pack for almost anything with a shoulder bag. Too many travelers burden themselves with a boat anchor for no reason. The reason you are traveling is not to be at home. So don’t take home with you.

[@ddouglas5542]

Really good suggestions. I pack my shirts with my shirts/pants with pants in packing cubes.... this video had SUPER SUGGESTIONS on folding socks and underwear ... I immediately did some and compared to my others ... superior! Shoes I pack into shower caps (from motels) .... we take large zip locks for dirty clothes ... separates & no smell issues. Your packing video is one of the FEW that actually shows minimal packing. Thank you!

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Thanks for your contribution! Packing cubes are a GREAT tip for those backbacks that only open vertically (like the one I'm currently travelling with in Northern Europe) cause otherwise your stuff simply becomes a big mess (they're also good for very messy people, with any kind of luggage :P ). For the shoes I can't abandon the plastic bags, cause I feel like it's the only way to seal all the dirt... Zip locks for dirty clothes is also a good suggestion :) I'm planning on making a new better video about how to pack light. P.S. that underwear/socks folding technique...now I see friends of mine who use it even just to keep their stuff organised at home in their drawer!

[@lbunnygordon1133]

[@gareth449]

nice video . but the same as a hundred other similar videos out there . and what they also all have in common is that even though they show you how efficient you can get everything into carry-on hand luggage . not one of them addresses the issue of weight restrictions of carry-on bags which is normally around 7kg

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

You are absolutely right and I'll tell you immediately why I don't mention it. Because it's impossible. I honestly wouldn't be able to travel carry on only with less than 10 kg. The trick is simply the backpack: because I use a backpack, I've never gotten checked on size or weight yet. It's the main reason why I don't bring a suitcase, which I would honestly prefer. Every time I go to the airport I know that I have 1,2,3 o even 5 kg more than what my cheap ticket allows me and I simply decided to take the risk.

[@southernsass7624]

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Yeah I know I seem crazy with that tiny towel, but honestly I could go even smaller. If you have one of those microfiber ones though, they are super compact once you have rolled them. Thermal tshirts and/or some thin wool underlayers are a must for me in the winter.

[@illuminatistboy]

I think you meant Ryanair. Yeah they have super strict luggage policy. But they also allow people bring free-shop bag beside small bag. Thus, you can find a free shop at airport, buy something inexpensive and ask for big bag and put your extra stuff in it;) bungee cords are also very helpful to carry more clothes or shoes around your body.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

I think I was travelling with WizzAir actually, but doesn't really matter, nowadays they all restricted their policies. Even EasyJet now doesn't allow an extra small bag. Ryanair got even worst. The duty free bag trick I used already a couple of times. Very comfortable if you want to avoid carrying too much stuff in your hands while boarding.

It's an Italian brand based on the Alps, it's called CAMP and this is the exact product www.camp.it/prodotti3.aspx?CAT=48&CDV=49&ART=~228 But keep in mind that it's not a sleeping bag, it's only a lining, so I use it instead of having to ask for clean sheets to my Couchsurfing hosts or if hostels don't look very clean.

Però volevo dire che sei anche la parte bella dell'Italia quando vedo questo paese, abbastanza chiuso, provinciale e introflesso, che gira per il mondo, apprende e si fa conoscere come suo cittadino, che sa essere particolare e nel contempo muoversi disinvoltamente in contesti diversissimi.

[@Calamity_Jem]

In my opinion there's still so many things that you really don't need in the bag you showed us ! If you take two pair or leggings, why also bring a jogging ? You can use one legging for sleeping and chilling and the other one to work and treking. One pair of shoes and one pair of flip flops if enough. 4 white tops !!! Why ? And just a Jean is also more than enough. The hair dryer ....... I didn't even had that many clothes in my one year travel bag ! I think you Can really make it better but it's a good start anyway Still it's really nice to show how light you can travel and how little you need to feel confortable and face any situation. Even as a woman (for those who still doubted 😉)

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Hey Jeromine, I do agree with you! I actually took only one pair of leggings as a pijama and a jogging pair of pants for hiking (I sweat in them so I cannot use them for anything else), but I took two pair of jeans that were not necessary: one would have been enough. About the shoes two pairs were actually necessary because I could not go hiking with those light sneakers and could not stroll in the cities with heavy boots. This video I shot more than one year ago. In one year I packed so many times more, always in carry on, and I tried several different solutions. I also experienced a couple of times the lack of clothes: I took with me too few items and I felt uncomfortable for the whole trip. Also, my trusty hairdryer broke and I travelled a few weeks without it: I will never do that again. It's been a nightmare. Has it ever happened to you that you didn't pack enough stuff?

[@Calamity_Jem]

@@WhatashameMaryJane To travel I used a pair of Palladium that got a double fonction (+ or - covering the leg) & a pair of very resistant sendales. I do believe one is not enough but still managable I never had a problem with packing cuz I was Always asking myself those questions : Can I use it in different situations ? Is it comfortable and resistant ? Does it fits with the rest of my cothes ? I started with a base of 3 colors : black, grey and red bordeaux.

But at the end I changed some to replace with clothes made in the country, more adapted to the weather 😊

That would be great! I would love a video like that. I want to try it but I’m scared lol 😳🙈😂

[@ItsMeCourtney]

Oh man that sucks. Yeah the weather in Europe is unpredictable! It drove me nuts. I felt like I needed to bring my entire closet

Haiiii

[@elinao]

really good video. my only concern is the toiletries, you packed them in the middle of everything in a regular toiletries bag. in hand luggage all liquids must be in a clear 1 litre bag and must be taken out of the backpack during security check at the airport. so you need to pack them so that it's quick and easy to take them out.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Hi. You're kind of right about the toiletries, but for the moment I have no intention of changing my method. For my experience, it doesn't happen often that they actually require you to take the liquids out on your luggage. When it happens (I know for example that in London and in Oslo they always require the liquids out) I just spend those five minutes to take them out and put them back in again. I travel for long periods of time so it makes no reason for me to sacrifice the comfort of a perfect everyday toiletry bag to save me those 5 minutes in some of my flights.

@@WhatashameMaryJane you have been very lucky! I've always had to take them out. they're extremely strict in my country (finland). I used to do interviews on airports and had to go through airport security training to get clearance for it. also even though I wasn't getting on any plane then, I had to follow the liquid regulations.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

@@elinao Oh I see. Yes I guess the country where you usually leave from sets your behavior. In Italy I've never been required to take out the liquids.

[@helenlayley]

I pack my liquids in a clear plastic zip lock bag and have them in an outside pocket, l then slip them into my toiletries bag later on.

Hi there! Just curious what type of backpack is that? And where did you buy it from? I really like it and wanted to order myself one just like that.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Hello to you! 😊 Unfortunately I've already researched in the Easpak website and they don't have it in their catalogue. I'm sorry :/

[@dv4642]

@@WhatashameMaryJane Awe ok thank you anyways! :)

IM FROM HUNGARY AND IT IS REALLY WARM 🇭🇺

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Oh yes in the summer it gets so warm there!!

[@MaidMirawyn]

"Warm" and "cold" is all a matter of perspective! For instance, I'm from Atlanta, Georgia, in the Southeastern United States. Today's high was 35.5C; our low was 20C…and it's September 17. Even in January, our weather is usually above freezing most days, and we have several days 15C to 20C. So your weather would seem cool to us. PS: I want to visit Hungary. :) The closest I've been, though, is Austria (Innsbruck and Vienna). I'll get there, though!

[@wonderingsanna]

@@MaidMirawyn That is about the same spectrum you will find in Hungary in the summer to ; ) Colder in the winter tho. I Think alot of ppl has an idea that northern europe is much colder then it is : ) As an example, I live in Sweden, on the south west coast and we neary never have snow here during the winter and in the summer we often have around 30C

[@hawk789]

Just a suggestion your old socks and tennis stuff them in your shoes now you Got more room

[@JinayShah]

I'm curious why you didn't pack any light snacks and emergency medicines.

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Good question! I actually have both of them always in my purse, I just didn't think of showing it. About the snacks I show what I bring with me in several videos, like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJScpZqjmduZrc0 and this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmmoZ3pto7Fgb6s. The medicines I have a tiny box that I always bring with me in my purse, not only when I'm travelling, that's why I didn't think of showing it. But they are both listed in the packing list attached to the video!

[@litahonaker8252]

Love this, only one question...didnt see any Bra's😱

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

Eh eh 😅you're right and you're the first person who noticed it, I'm surprised nobody said that before! I brought only one cause I wear it most of the time, but not always. So it's very easy to hand wash it every few days.

[@MrsPeterkin]

What brand/style is your toiletry bag?

[@WhatashameMaryJane]

I say all the specifics about the bag in the second part of the video Camille 🙂
