Ok my last comment, just finished the video. And I just gotta say….you can literally feel the love when Peter looks at Kitra. He’s just sitting there, stars in his eyes, while Kitra is showing off her stuff. And you can just see it, homeboy is in lurve. And I love that. Okay I’m done, love y’all’s channel so much.

[@katsmith6075]

I noticed that too!! So Sweet

[@eincomicleben]

There was one vid about a parade an Kitra asked Peter what he liked best about it - and I knew he was gonna say „it makes you happy“. They are just so sweet and I am happy for them ❤❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🥰

[@Ziemziems]

I mean Kitra is literally the cutest most lovable human alive so I get it ! 😊they are both just the cutest ❤

[@allisonabbott-kline4765]

My heart is warmed by the way Peter looks at Kitra. Everyone needs a Peter.....💞

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

❤️

[@michaelchyles]

Legit shoutout to you guys for a) linking everything without sponsorhship and b) sponsoring the video. Make that paper babyyyy! Proud of you guys thanks

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I can’t tell you how excited and happy I am to be sponsored by Bombas. It’s literally a product I use almost every day

[@kerfufflestv4779]

Kitra, don’t you dare be embarrassed about your little shaver. I need one too! Most ladies do. Great video guys!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

☺️

[@denisecoovert1]

I'm going to need a whole video of Peter doing stuff with a deck of cards! so cool!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Have 🪄

[@StefanyFuson]

This video would be an excellent gift guide for someone who travels often.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌

[@ErikaEmody]

“Don’t pack your fear” omg that’s brilliant. And I get it being plus-sized. If we lose our clothing - especially swimwear -- it’s not a good situation.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

It’s a good motto

[@mercedezwashington4774]

Hi guys! I've been watching old videos and just have to say that Peter is killing it on his weight loss journey! Currently on a weight loss journey myself, so I know the struggle. Keep up the great work. Love the channel and you guys are so cute together 😊

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🥰 thank you

[@mercedezwashington4774]

@OrdinaryAdventures y'all are so welcome!

[@imakeajiffypuff4525]

These are the kind of packing videos I need. I am the queen of overpacking. 😅 Giving me the reality check I need.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌 hopefully we can help

[@CrisVazquezVideoGuy]

I love that you guys are trying different things with your videos. It appeals to those of us that aren’t here JUST for Disney content, but for you guys as well 😁😁😁

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much!! Peter has wanted to make this video for awhile now. Even if no one watches it we are still happy it’s out there

[@CrisVazquezVideoGuy]

@ I’m halfway through and you guys did a great job editing the video together! There’s a natural flow to it camera angles are on point 😁📸

[@ktaxtell]

Kitra, youre such a queen. Thanks for normalizing real problems

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🥰

[@Ziemziems]

Words can seriously not express the level of cuteness you two possess !!!!❤❤❤ I absolutely love watching your videos . Also , so many great ideas and products in this video this was seriously so helpful. You guys have your travel game on point!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@edvaira6891]

Nice seeing the lovely Miss Pixel hanging out on the couch behind Peter!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

☺️

[@thenexus818]

Love the Tech bag portion of the video!!!! I really enjoyed how you went over each piece of equipment!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much!! ☺️

[@breannaraylene7273]

🧳 I love videos like these! Super helpful for us who get overwhelmed with packing. Also Kitra don’t be embarrassed about the razor girl! It’s real and shows us girls that it’s part of being a woman.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much

[@mlou4444]

Got to give out a shout out to Bombas too. I have such messed up feet and everyone talks about shoes, but never socks! I dragged my feet about buying them because they are more expensive than regular socks, but decided that just improving my shoes wasn't cutting it. It makes such a difference! When I went to Disney World and was walking around all day I got zero blisters and my foot pain was manageable. Other people had all sorts of problems. I swear it was the socks! It may be an investment, but for something you wear everyday, that prevents pain... it's worth it.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I used to only buy the cheapest socks and thought that spending any more money was a waste, until I tried Bombas. Totally changed my mind. It makes so much sense to me now that we should be spending more money on something we use every single day. It does really make a big difference

[@katebryan2305]

I love the colors of your backpack, Kitra! Such 90s kid show vibes. It feels like you’re about to go on an adventure on the Magic School Bus 😂 Hope you enjoy Japan!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Totally! Haha

[@missyaman7053]

41:53 the baby Yoda loungefly is sooo cute 😫 I hope y'all had fun in Japan ❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We did thanks! Can’t wait to share the adventures

[@briannetroyer4931]

Girl, I always bring my little face trimmer on all my trips too, no shame!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌 💯

[@blackopsandzombies]

Awesome to see you guys heading back to Japan. I went to Japan last month for the first time and before I left I watched your videos about Tokyo Disneyland and made me more excited to visit. Hope you guys have a great time!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We are having the greatest time

[@tinkerbellstwin]

Guys I love this video because so many times I think oh I wonder what they are filming on or what are they using. It’s great you took the time to go through everything because us fellow travel bugs certainly appreciate it! ❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌 thanks

[@stevek430]

Wow, this was so helpful. Thank You so much for making this video and including links to all the items you described.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Gibsy96]

Love this video! I travel a lot and it even has me looking at some new stuff and ways to pack.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌

[@DLFH]

I've really challenged myself to pack multifunctional items that pack down into a smaller size like my Travelon backpack, Peak Design tote or puff coat. One of the biggest packing editing I've forced myself to do is not packing for "just in case I need it". And in the event I need to get something like a rain poncho, scarf or some other wearable item they become a functional souvenir.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌

[@heatherducote849]

Thanks for this video. Will be traveling next year and needed help with packing for an airplane. We usually drive and are spoiled by that. Love you guys!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@acbetka]

I just returned from my very first cruise ever (thanks to you two for being part of what led me to book it)! I’m just a little apoplectic that this video didn’t come out before it 😂❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Did you have fun? What ship did you go on?

[@acbetka]

@ you guys, I had THE TIME OF MY LIFE! We sailed Aqua Class on the Celebrity Apex to the Caribbean. Can’t wait for the next one! And actually, between you and V&Q and Jen Lefforge and Adam Hattan, I felt very prepared packing wise ;)

[@jefkay1116]

12:07 Peter such a fashionista!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Ha thanks

[@bigfamilyexpedition]

Oh, I love that backpack and matching toiletry bag!!! I just bought us all new backpacks but now I want that one!!! 😍😂

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Ha sorry

[@akelly2791]

Converted my husband to a carry on only travel rule when we started dating and now as a family of four we swear by it ❤great content guys!! You have some much amazing advice!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

That is awesome!

[@silversurfor1]

Thanks Peter and Kitra for sharing the necessities needed for packing on a trip. Now if i can convince my wife and daughter to pack like this to save my back from visiting a chiropractor after every Disney vacation.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha

[@emdee8840]

Great video. Incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lisalomano1]

I source yarn for a living and I’m so excited to hear Peter hyping merino wool!! Thank you! It is amazing!!🙌🏻

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Love merino!

[@kush.coffin]

Honestly been waiting for you guys to do this video ever since you did your camera gear video!! I just knew you would have the best packing tips!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@sarahbeth016]

*love* what’s in our bag type videos! Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@cawoll20]

I'm quite new to your channel and love watching all the theme park stuff but I just had to comment how much I love that her nails match his glasses! :D

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Ha thanks you 💅

[@bkim01]

Love me some Cotopaxi gear! You both rock!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We love em too

[@Vash51618]

This video is a huge help for me and my husband. we also travel a lot, and we will be going to japan in early 2027 and many of these items will be a huge help in our packing! Love these packing videos! Can't wait to see your Japan vlogs from your current trip ❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@losernyc14]

i love when owners zoom in on their pets in the background😂🤩, i love you guys ❤❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha

[@1983Jems]

Loved this video! Will need to watch it again before our next trip. Thank you for including links to the products! 🧳

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Have fun!

[@lornamcdonald1739]

This was super useful, thankyou guys! Have a great time in Japan!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks

[@stefanielindquist679]

This was one of my favorite videos! Our family is going on Icon in February and this definitely helped give me ideas for packing!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Have fun!

[@taraoakes6674]

I have a toiletries bag that is always ready to go. When I come home from a trip, and start unpacking, I refill everything in that bag, like the small Q-tip box. It also has a tiny ziplock with a couple of bandaids, safety pins, etc. With my toiletries bag always ready to go I only have to worry about my clothes. But, I totally agree with the permanent list that you can tailor for each trip. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We should’ve mentioned this but didn’t but we do the same thing not just with toiletry but my tech pouch. I have cables and stuff I use at home and all that stuff stays in my bag ready to go for the next trip so I never forget anything

[@seanjnash]

A video all about organization...a video after my own heart! Great insight into all things travel and vlog. I love the "just in case" rule and I'm going to try that on my next trip! 🧳

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@nomaam9288]

[@LoriKrazy61]

Oh wow you have a beautiful things that you have I love the color bag….. so cool and nice cameras ….. thank yiu for sharing 👍🏽

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

[@Roku23]

🧳 Definitely need more packing videos like this. Super helpful!!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks

[@LopaSHott]

I can’t wait for the Japan videos. I’m sold on the Cotopaxi gear.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌

[@user-farrelld]

Thank you for this. I took so many notes, much appreciated.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@irishheart1]

Hi Kitra and Peter, so informative. Thanks so much for such detailed information. You both are amazing and it’s always a happy feeling watching all the vlogs . Thank you for being you and not changing.😊 I have stopped watching a number of bloggers who have changed and don’t get the feel good vibes anymore since they have become more successful. You both are successful yet stay true to who you are!!! 😊🌸🌼

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

That’s such a great compliment, thank you ☺️

[@Shikei85]

Handy, thank you! I'll be in Japan for nearly four weeks and am a bit worried about lugging a big suitcase around on trains etc. so good to get an idea of what's really essential. I'm looking forward to your next set of travel videos, have a safe trip! :)

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you! The trains aren’t that bad if you have carry on sized luggage

[@TiffyMG]

Your videos just make my day💚

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

❤️

[@ryanpw]

Perfect timing with the video! Planning a trip to Japan in April for SW Celebration/vacation and the tech bag and vlogging equipment gave me ideas to put on my Christmas list! Thanks Peter and Kitra!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Hope this helps and hope you have a blast

[@yojimbo_2000]

Thank you for the informative vlog. Bought the Peak tech bag while watching the vlog.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@tinawarren275]

Love the video and such great tips. I’ve been looking for a new backpack and those look amazing. Agreed with Bombas, only socks I’ll wear. You two are so fun to watch. Not only are you both entertaining, but you give great advice and tips. Thank you both for all you do. ❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😁

[@rchiariello]

Kitra, you NEED to try the Dashing Diva nail strips. They are essentially stickers that you put on your natural nails and they will last for AT LEAST 2 weeks. I basically keep them on until you can see my nails growing out. They are amazing!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Oooh I’m have to try that! One of the reasons I like fake nails is because otherwise I bite and pick at them so it stops me from doing that

[@aimeesimoneaux6197]

Loved this show! You’re both hoots! Thank you!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yay! Thank you!

[@kimmers220]

I love when you guys show us your stuff!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks!!!!🙏

[@aladinbader9004]

I just have to say Peter’s looking really good, I haven’t seen a video from you guys in a couple of weeks and when I saw how much weight you’ve lost I literally took a double take lol. Looking great dude keep up the great work!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks 😊

[@AstroxZombie]

Hey crew! I am also plus sized and have mobility issues and I have really struggled with purses since I started using a mobility cane full time. I am forgetful and condensing down to a Loungefly backpack was more than I needed for many applications. That's when I discovered hip bags and Sipsey Wilder. I got one of their Ranger bags and Venture wallets and have never looked back. The wallet slides onto the hip bag belt, so it's impossible for me to misplace my "purse" or wallet as it's physically attached to me now. Also, this frees up my back for my Loungefly should I require the extra space. Also, highly recommend a dedicated organizer you can swap between Loungefly backpacks. Makes life so much easier when swapping over!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Great tip!

[@eFiggidy]

Love me some Cotopaxi! Colors can get really bright if you're down for it which I like! Got my wife and I the same jacket Peter has and it's so warm and lightweight.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Love the jacket, has kept me warm in Japan

[@karapatten4335]

This was really helpful! Thank you for all the links! I love Bombas slippers, looking forward to trying the socks. 🎉

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🤔 I gotta try their slippers

[@TwoTicketsToAdventure]

We absolutely loved our Cotopaxi 35L bags for our two week Japan trip last year. We went real minimal because we didn't want to deal with rolling around the luggage up and down the stairs. Packed a weeks worth of clothing and washed. I (Venessa,) also have the retractable Matador bag and it's such an awesome day bag. We're heading back to Japan in February and we're really going to test our packing skills since we're going to have to pack winter clothes in the 35L. And Kitra, I feel ya. At 42, gut issues and major dizzy spells, I need all the meds. 😓 Was the hand sanitizer super strong smelling? Love packing videos! I also didn't know Bombas made compression socks. Thanks.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I love love love that packable bag

[@radawnaguilar4774]

🧳 Thank you for sharing those backpacks! They look even more organized & better to travel with than my Lug bags!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

👍

[@cynthiaredmon4259]

I like that you guys posted this,as I'm going on a cruise to Alaska in 2026. It's good info to have and thanks for sharing. Happy travelling and be safe!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Have so much fun on your trip

[@paspitale]

Is that one of the rifles from District 9 in the background? That is one movie that needs a sequel. So good.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yes it is! Love that movie and the design of the tech in it

[@carlanewman2686]

🧳 Very useful video. Thanks, guys! Enjoy your next adventure in Japan

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Our pleasure!

[@carebearcjl]

This video came at the perfect time for me! Thanks for all the tips!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

You're so welcome!

[@jamiem2024]

👍👍👍 looking forward to hearing all about this Japan trip! Cannot wait!!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Coming soon!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Can’t wait to share it with everyone

[@arlenedisneydreaming6816]

Thank you for sharing this video guys, this was SO SUPER helpful! I went and bought the magsafe iPhone stand after watching! Thanks Peter! I’ve been looking for something like that, portable to mount on the phone or throw in my fanny pack. I absolutely love Bombas socks and will only run and travel (long walks) with Bombas, best sock ever! Can’t wait to see your Japan vids! I’m headed to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka next week. So excited!! ❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Happy to hear we had some helpful info

[@alberttsoi]

Kitra, Peter, love these videos as I am also a connoisseur of packing and luggage THANK YOU

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Great to hear!

[@faerybree9725]

Bombas gave socks to my daughter’s elementary school after our whole town burned down. She loved those socks. They are a great company

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

That’s incredible

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

🧳Great video and loved hearing why you chose your items and the thoughtfulness you both have. We’re headed to Paris (incl Disneyland Paris!) & Spain next year and loved some of the items you shared!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Have fun!

[@jenniferbrown8305]

If you're going to Universal Studios Japan, you MUST go to Horai 551 in Universal City walk and get a butaman (pork bao). They are the best. They also sell them in Osaka station. They were one of the best things I ate the whole trip.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We got them but at a different location

[@raveena2220]

Loved this video! It was very informative! I added a couple of items to my packing list 😊

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MeganEberhardtFrank]

🧳 loved the vid thanks for sharing all the travel packing tips

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheMaxiJourney]

Hi ordinary adventures I have been watching you for over 2 and half years you have inspired to make my own channel where I do vlogging content I hope you see this message as you are my inspiration.❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Have fun! May the force be with you ☺️

[@CaseyB]

Great tips and tricks for folks like myself who don't travel much but are truly intimidated by the packing process. I typically put it off until the last minute and then completely fail at it because I'm rushed and panicking. Then I have to waste money re-buying all the stuff I left behind. Thanks for making this! PS: mAh = milliamp hours.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha we also usually wait to do the packing til the last minute, sometimes right before we leave for the airport. I think the key is to think about it ahead of time and make a list

[@stuckincollege]

The camp snap, I ran to the website to buy! I’ve been trying to find a Christmas gift for my wife and this is literally perfect!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Hope she enjoys it!

[@nateoshea78]

Great tips guys! Thanks for the insight and behind the scenes. Keep the wonderful content coming! 😁🧳

[@verocaballero]

🧳 Thank you for this video!! Love the idea of a travel wardrobe,

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

You are so welcome!

[@jch3theredhead15]

I also love love the cotopaxi bags. I was able to get the Cotopaxi Allpa 28L Travel Pack (slightly smaller than Peter's bag, Kitra's size) on a budget flight (Frontier) as the personal item. Just FYI

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Very cool

[@kellygavin-dean3422]

This is exactly the video I needed this week! Yussss! ❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Hope it helps

[@MarieZh]

You guys are very organized- it’s so impressive. (Also, shout out to Kitra! 💕).

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

☺️

[@dannygrau2983]

For a more powerful zoom, I use the tamron 28-200 mm lens. It's not as nice as Sony lenses, but it does the trick.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I need to get a bigger zoom

[@Bilbo_Babbins]

I really enjoy hearing about the items. I feel like you could make a lot of shorts out of this just talking about singular items. Thinking about passing on your recommendations made me think it would be easier to send clips/shorts.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thats a good idea

[@lillianfredriksson1890]

Excellent video. Really enjoyed all the tips!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

kislux bags are beautiful and I have never been disappointed with a handbag. The leather is soft and the hardware is durable. The design never goes out of style.
