The background music of these videos is so soothing

Thanks! Trying to make packing relaxing!

Your videos are fantastic and I too can pack a postage stamp. I use a 4 point packing system my veteran Dad favored. He used a pouch or pocket for each of the following 4 categories: clothing, toiletries, tech and documentation/paperwork. Each pouch was packed vertically in a small army field bag. My bag of choice is a Longchamp Le Pliage tote bag. I attach a hat clip and a large carabiner to one of the straps and I’m good to go.

This is so cool! I gotta look into that packing method! Thanks so much for sharing!

When washing in sink. Use a towel from hotel or borrowed to roll clothes in and even stand on the roll to squeeze out more water. This helps to dry out the clothes quicker.

[@outenthelights]

Great tip!

[@annashanahan369]

I recommend the roll-and-squish when doing sink laundry. It reduces drips and clothes dry faster. Wring your clothes after washing, roll up in a bath towel in a single layer, then walk up an down the roll to squish out extra water. Unroll and hang, preferably where there is a bit of airflow. Thanks for your sensible, implementable tips

[@outenthelights]

Nice one! Thanks for the rec and thanks for watching!

Love your videos. The music is great, it's fun to see Chicago, and your packing hints are really helpful. I like that you are old school about some of your stuff: vinyl, cameras, games, paper books, and notebooks. Nice.

[@outenthelights]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching! Definitely prefer analog over digital and the warmth that comes with the old school!

Loving the chill vibes packing videos ❤️

I'm a huge fan of taking oatmeal packets with me when I'm going to be on a longer layover. I just go up to a cafe and ask for a free cup of hot water

[@outenthelights]

Love this and will totally be doing that next trip!

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

I love my merino wool for travel. You can wear it multiple times, it always looks fresh, and dries quickly if it does need to be washed. It’s trendy now for good reason!

[@outenthelights]

Still need to try some, it’s just hard for me to not wear all my fun t shirts!

[@Miguelnn5bd]

You should try a miyoo mini plus or anbernic rg35xx h. They are really good.

[@outenthelights]

Good call! Those miyoo minis are awesome! My brother has one and I got to test it out last time he visited. So many cool handhelds these days.

[@dillp671]

@@outenthelights Also Miyoo started making the regular mini again as they've sourced new screens :)

[@outenthelights]

@@dillp671thanks for the heads up! Will probably snag one soon!

[@blakesbasement]

Great video! I’ve never seen anyone show me how to do laundry in the sink. It’s really helpful. Also, I’m interested in the game and watch. Do you recommend a game?

[@outenthelights]

Thanks for watching! The Game and Watches just come in two games right now - Super Mario or Legend of Zelda. I recommend either! Both are super fun to play and great for travel. I saw another handheld that just came out that plays a bunch of Capcom games like Street Fighter and Mega Man. Also want to check that out!

[@dillp671]

One suggestion: Get a multi-port GAN charger like the Anker 523. It'll save you from having to bring a Switch, iPhone, and MacBook Air Charger. And it's smaller than a MBA charger.

[@outenthelights]

Great suggestion!

[@user-bp8sq7lr2t]

Any chance you would post a music list somewhere?

[@outenthelights]

Like of what I listen to or just the stock music from the videos?

[@user-bp8sq7lr2t]

@@outenthelights music from the videos would be great. I love soft jazz.

[@outenthelights]

I’ll see what I can do!
