It might’ve been mentioned already, but one trick I always do is to wear the biggest pair of shoes on the flight/trip. Large shoes esp guy’s hightop boots or sneakers take up a ton of space in your bag. Pack the smaller shoes in your bag instead.

[@Tayuya129]

To people who want to pack light for winter time trips- invest in a good jacket so you don’t need such thick under layers. Also, thermal shirts. They are absolutely wonderful. Denim is heavy, so unless you plan wearing your jeans multiple days, pack other pants made of other materials. Also, at night, hang the clothes you wore in a well ventilated area. This way, they won’t smell so bad and you can prolong their use before the next wash.

[@KiSaty]

Dani Black I’m planning a trip in November to japan. Thanks for the winter tips. What kinda other material winter pants would u suggest? Jw 🤔

[@Tayuya129]

Kiana Saty I went to Japan in 2017 at the end of December. In my opinion, the temperature itself isn’t terrible, but the windchill is pretty strong (also depends on where in Japan you go- I was in Tokyo). I actually prefer wearing leggings/thermal pants with a pair of jeggings or stretchy pants made to look like like nice pants over top. These items pack really small and with the leggings underneath, the top layer pants don’t smell as bad as quickly (body oils don’t really reach it).

[@KiSaty]

Dani Black thank you! This is great advice and I will deft keep these tips in mind 🙌👏😊

[@edoardotorrenti1145]

Nice advices. For winter (or multiple-climate zones trips) I'd go anytime with TECH fabrics. Thermal t-shirts or longsleeves, socks, underwear and tights takes up very little space but are comfortable and super-warm.

[@Gilamath.]

The most important thing to remember is that packing for a three-week trip should be almost identical to packing for a one-week trip. The only difference may be the quantity of consumables like conditioner or deodorant. Go for solid options where you can. Solid cologne, soap, shampoo, and so on take up far less space and can last for months

[@maryburger1232]

BS you need way more stuff for 3 weeks !

[@Lovsnow]

@@maryburger1232 I agree, you need more stuff. More activities.

[@bellaluce7088]

Totally agree that the only difference for me between a one vs. three-week (or six week or...) trip is the toiletries! Haven't tried solid shampoo yet, but I love my ColorScience SPF 50 powdered sunscreen as an alternative to bulkier lotion sunscreen. Laundry strips are also lighter and more compact than liquid detergent.

[@Lovsnow]

@@bellaluce7088 I respect all travelers decisions. I've done a 40L backpack to Central America before. For me, going from a 40-60L gives me more enjoyment on the trip. at this point in my life, my "stuff" is all functional and all adds to the fun. It was cool to be lightweight, that's for sure. I could survive off a 40L but to me, what's the fun in that? I like to have more of what I need.

[@jon9103]

Completely disagree, no need to pack extra toiletries, they are easy to find in most parts of the word and if you're ever going somewhere where they aren't they don't take much space anyway. Clothing on the other hand pretty much scales with trip length unless you are lucky enough to have access to laundry facilities.

People in these comments are making “ packing light” into some kind of competition. Packing is personal, stop telling people what they need or don’t need to pack for their OWN personal use. What’s it to you anyway? I consider myself a light packer, but I personally would just bring a small carry on for 3 weeks trip because am not taking time to do laundry 3 or 4 times. And I would like to have some space to put souvenirs. She could have packed all that in a small carry on and be just as light and carefree in my opinion. She CHOSE a backpack which is cool.

[@alyk4683]

I’d like to see someone do this with either a cold climate or someone who wears much larger clothes. Larger clothes take more room because there is literally more fabric. And a cold climate means more clothes.

All these packing hacks are always for consistently warm climates so light weight clothes and jackets. I’d love to see them do it for the Scottish climate were you can literally get all 4 seasons in one day.

We’ve had snow in May you know.

Yeah, this video pretty much assumes you have extra money to buy whatever else you need when you arrive.

I watched 10 videos today and seriously your video is the one really putting stuff inside the bag and let me see them physically fit in the bag👍👍😍😍👏👏👏

[@bavikakasireddy4936]

Thank you. This helped so much as I am going on a road trip tomorrow to Miami

[@chriskatt]

When I went on vacation and I knew I would need some heavy boots I just wore them while traveling to my destination. It helped me to reduce weight and space in my suitcase. But the rolling method is nice. I have to try it out 😁

[@-Suie-]

Lol me too the biggest pieces like boots, hoody, cargopants ill wear on plane All comfort material, then air them on arrival A lot of people travelling in warmer countries forget to dress A: for cold plane n B: for arrival in cold home country

[@-Suie-]

i usually pack simular colors so everything can mix my fav is nature colors, brown, beige, green, camo,

[@avephoenix6637]

Excellent. I used to be an overpacker. I'm on a journey to light packing. Thanks for the hacks!

[@jilly1940pepper]

Really appreciate such helpful info in just over FOUR minutes! Thank you!

[@AdrianJNyaoi]

Three pair of shoes? I need just one and I don't pack it in the bag, I wear it.

[@blanchelazuli8485]

Same here

[@lalagirl211]

Adrian J Nyaoi Well ur a guy

[@dkf315]

I think packing 3 pairs is too much also. Extra 1 or 2 at most. Dressy shoes and a pair of sandles or flip-flops. Running shoes can be worn during hiking too.

[@jessicathompson236]

Adrian J Nyaoi , depends on what you need to do while in the shoes.

[@taineekimi]

I made that mistake once. Shoe got damaged and I'm a size 13, so its not easy or cheap to get a replacement

[@susanjohn6506]

The amount of clothes I take depends on how quickly things will dry. In hot climates things dry overnight easily. I prefer colder climates so take manmade fibres as they dry much faster. It is not hard to wash through your outfit at the end of the day, if necessary. The microfibre towel is also great to use when you wring out your clothes as it absorbs more water.

[@shellysadventures2875]

This video is awesome, especially the burrito trick. I also never thought to put outfits together like that. 10/10.

[@MarionMcNicoll]

Packing for a long trip. Thank you for the Burrito baby, such a great way to condense bulkier items and not so bulky items.

[@milkmaidtea2607]

The burrito is really helpful! I went on a 5 day trip to Singapore and the weight of my carry on was only 4kg and that was the only baggage I had! Herschel’s Little America backpack is a really great bag for travelling.

[@kjthekunoichi]

Wow my country! Where in Singapore did you went? any places of interests?😊

[@monakavi8152]

Hi

[@monakavi8152]

Hi can u suggest tips packing for sg

[@milkmaidtea2607]

Mona Kavi Mona Kavi From my experience, I suggest that you bring very light clothes. What I mean of light clothes is that the cloth should not be that thick. Singapore is hot and very humid. The weather is usually 27-30 degree celcius. Just bring one jacket (you’re probably just gonna use it on the plane). I would also suggest you wear skirts or shorts while you go there. Pants are okay but shorts or skirt is better. Sleeveless tops would be good too. For shoes you could just bring a pair of sneakers or flats (if you’re not really gonna walk far). Hope that this could help :)

[@milkmaidtea2607]

kj I went to a lot of places! My favorite one is the Arts & Science museum. The pictures that I took there was amazing.

[@yunfeitoh8545]

The little burito thingy hack save me Thank you so much

[@Maestro_Charlie_Abraham]

Great trick with keeping the outfits together! I keep a small bottle of dry powder laundry detergent and only sometimes get stoped at customs for it

[@melissatjahyasurya2087]

thanks for the inspiration! give me insight how to pack more lightly

[@DeputatKaktus]

Burrito Baby is also known as „Ranger Roll“ or „Grunt Roll“. A variation of this is to roll your socks in with the open ends sticking outwards at either side. In the end you just pull the socks‘ open ends over each end of the whole roll so you have a sealed package that isnt going to unravel at all. Also, if you travel for a longer time, get yourself some Merino shirts. It is the most awesome stuff in the world. Breathable, light, packs down really small, dries in no time at all (useful whenever you can give them a wash in the sink or so), good for almost every weather situation. A bit on the pricy side but worth every penny. A friend of mine travelled the world for a year with just four of those - and they are still going strong. Personally I can fit a week‘s worth of clothes in a medium packing cube...but every cubic inch I save is then gobbled up by camera gear 😅

[@TomDyerBartender]

I've travelled a lot and there are some great tips there. Love that folding technique. Will be using that on my next trip. Thanks. 👍🏻

[@Pink1065]

I really liked the folding burrito idea. Will definitely incorporate into my packing.

[@rosalache4581]

That's great tips. I'm a constant traveler and you are right I'm become to take less and less. Learning new techniques and now in my trips I take solid colors is much easier to combine with scarfs. I like your practicality. When we travel a lot we want to be more lighter in our trips. I used to take to much and carry with that in Europe, Africa, Asia ,Middle East. I'm become more savvy. Thank you.

[@avoidgoldscams3216]

I never comment on videos, but this video is Super useful, Thanks for the tricks!!

[@teachocholic]

Thanks! Seriously ridiculous overpacker here, and you have given me some excellent tips. Any chance you might do a similar video for a winter trip to a cold and rainy destination like Iceland? Thanks again!

[@lunayen]

Just follow the same instructions. Learn to layer your clothes, and wear your heaviest items (sweater, jackets and boots). You'll need them all the time anyway, so you might as well keep them on your person. Use thick socks instead of thinner ones and add some long sleeve shirts.

[@Qrtuop]

Good quality thick coat, 2 pairs of thermal undershirts and leggings, good pair of boots that you wear on the plane, 1 hat (in your pocket), 1 polar round scarf and thick gloves (in your pocket). Only things you need to pack are the thermals, which are thin, and the scarf, which you can also hang from the outside of your bag while you fly then wear on you there.

[@domt5298]

The concepts are the same. just with different clothes. keep it to one main jacket (that you'll always be wearing) will help. Don't make cold weather an excuse to overpack

[@kfing1]

Love, love, love these tips

[@MEXTguide_yoyo]

Thanks for the tips! I think they'll be helpful for my upcoming trip

[@SYNfulfoREVer]

Another key thing when packing is to pack clothes that can be mixed and matched, things that can be worn more than once and things that are quick dry in case you end up having to wash them. That way if you are wearing an outfit and you spill something on it say your shirt you just change the shirt instead of the entire outfit and wash the shirt so that it can be used again later if it is needed. There is no reason to pack 7 pairs of pants, 14 shirts, 5 pairs of shoes, 3 pairs of pajamas and multiple dress outfits when you are only going on a trip for a week. Last time I went to Las Vegas for a week with my husband I was able to pack (using the rolling method) everything I needed for myself and my husband for the full week in a single duffel bag that was still small enough to be considered a carry on bag.

[@glorydancer9167]

Great ideas! But where do I put the kitchen sink? Serious overpacker here. Thanks for the suggestions. Less is more when traveling. I'm learning! ☺

[@WillN2Go1]

Good video. I like your rolling burrito method. Traveling in China a dozen years ago with a bunch of photo gear. At every train station were handicap ramps -- all of which, every single one, led to an onerous stairway -- which often had a good view of the elevator that was no longer accessible. Ca Lunk! Ca Lunk! Ca Lunk..... I'm currently packing for a three month sailing trip. I'm bringing a lot of the spare parts so three 18 kg (40lbs) roller suitcases. What I've learned is 1. Packing is where a lot of traveling anxiety comes from, so start as long as you can before your trip and do trial packings. 2. Don't take anything you can easily buy there. I have an umbrella I paid $70 for. I had to go back a couple of times to retrieve it. Had I bought a $5 one I'd have abandoned it as soon as rainy season ended. 3. You can no longer lock your luggage but if you tape it or use a strap, if Security opened it, you'll know immediately and can check it before you leave the airport. 4. the New York Times Wire Cutter is pretty lame. Their recommended 'best' suitcase is $700. I've got a $60 rolling duffle, a roller suitcase (max size) $130 and a hand me down (free). If after unloading all those boat spares I don't need one or both of the suitcases? They stay on the dock (I should pre make a sign that says 'Free!' in Vietnamese) Also a thief looks at a pile of luggage. He can carry one, what's his choice? the cheap bag or the $700 one? And the corollary to #1 above is: It always takes me three weeks into the trip before I'm dialed in with my method.

[@aptravelogs1934]

I was considering to get a backpack like yours for a long time now i think I will definitely buy it for my 7-day trip to Japan next year. Thanks for sharing this video.
