Packing made Perfect

Computer Science senior, Austin Lee, demonstrates the bundling method of packing a bag.

[@Mike70005]

Nice video. A suggestion...place your bundle into a thin plastic trash bag before you pack it into the suitcase. This will not only protect it against any possible water leakage from the outside but reduce wrinkles and make it much easier to extract the bundle from the case and get to the items on the bottom of the suitcase (shoes, underwear, toiletries kit).

Smart people pack smart. Excellent packing ideas particularly for senior citizens. Why? Now that I am older, it takes me more time to pack and it really frustrates me. I noticed the frustration with my mother (never ending) packing. My wife and I had to literally help my mother and pack for her so we won't miss the plane. Sorry mom when I used to get annoyed because I did not understand your frustration. Rest in peace mom, we love you. tnx Ed

[@aboiye9500]

After many videos, I bumped into yours. For some reason, you seem to be the only one to explain this technique in a way that I prefer. Thank you.

[@maryannemoll]

I cannot believe how much you were able to fit into that suitcase. And you didn't even have to struggle to zip the suitcase closed!

[@kerrygirl2003]

I almost can't believe what you fit in there!! I have watched a lot of these videos and yours is the best! Great job - thank you 😃

[@enriquejpsa]

I travel a couple of times a year and always watch this video to refresh my memory. The gift that keeps on giving! Thanks for filming and uploading this.

[@FunkyMan3333]

Thanks so much for this!! Allowed me to travel for work for 6 days with only a carry-on (including a suit, workout clothes, and running shoes)! Amazing!

[@Mike70005]

[@yukarilewellen1893]

Finally, a video on packing from a guy! Thank you! Great tips. Appreciated the easy to understand, simple how-to demo, and to the point instruction. As a mom of only sons and with an engineer minded hubby, this will help a lot. Too many videos online by women/girls with all that extra fluff talk that served more like mindless entertainment than instructional. Although, agree with the earlier comment....eh, no underwear? Too funny.

[@enbardis]

exactly! always a women and they only show how to fold up thongs and bras.

[@Tsch6373]

YUKARI LEWELLEN... and girls waste time with smalltalk.

[@Donyk]

One of the best videos on the subject of packing a suitcase, thank you!

[@marianhighter3322]

thank you so much, I got it done on the first try to. I am a 64year-old plus size woman and I packed 5 pairs of jeans 3 bulky sweaters, 5 long sleeve pull over blouses a pair of sneakers 7 pairs of socks my underwear and lol I forget my pajamas but I'm sure they will fit.

[@deborahjones6330]

This was amazing! I just packed for an 8 day trip for both me and my husband (including formalwear) in one suitcase!! I'll never pack another way again. Thanks!

[@ingridgrosu218]

amazing, simple and mind blowing! thanks for sharing, I shall have this in mind for my next business trip

[@tnicoleUtube]

You ROCK! I'm packing for a job in the middle east and with your tips, I'm going to be able to pack EVERYTHING I NEED AND WANT in the luggage I'm being alloted~2 checked bags and a carry on :-)

[@ruthclive-smith]

Thanku this was very helpful. We live in South Africa and we will be visiting our son and family for 3 months!

[@michellesmith4975]

Hey Austin, this video was SOOOO Helpful! Thank you for posting it! I am preparing to travel Internationally. I started to freak out about all I needed to pack and was about to use a LARGER suitcase, until I saw your video. I tried it and it worked! It REALLY Worked Well! I still have to check in a luggage but at least it is the middle size luggage I wanted rather than the HUGE one. By the time I was done packing I was in AWE!! I actually had room left and contemplated adding more clothes :) But I resisted the temptation. Thanks again! HUGE Help!

[@mugiwaranoluffy6581]

michelle smith same here. :)

[@tolutopeolorunfemi4762]

Thanks for making the time to do this video. Found it very useful!

[@CathyBridges]

I'm astounded at how well this works. My bag, unfortunately, didn't have a compression zipper, so I chose to stow my smaller items in a different bag. But even without those, I was looking at the bundle thinking "no way." But it worked! On the return trip I'll probably wear my jeans and pack my thin sweats, because I did have to squish it quite a bit. But very impressive nonetheless.

[@EricMunter]

Great tips! Will definitely try them out on my next trip.

[@kimr8420]

I use this method now and recommend it to all my friends. You can fit so much in your bag and it's wrinkle free when you get to your destination.

[@richardlau2447]

Simply brilliant video. It took an engineer to prove this. What is everyone else thinking? Also, clothes are less wrinkled.👍

[@jmmcg9]

Great video, I bought a new spinner type roller bag after using a garment bag for years. Preparing for my first trip with new bag I realized I had no idea how to pack it. Fortunately I found your video. You guys are doing some great Engineering work at OU! I always assumed your Engineering only covered recreational science, so I am glad you have expanded into travel science! (Sorry, I am a UT Alum, so I had to get a jab in). Seriously, thanks for taking the time & effort to share your video. I am testing it on a trip to Seoul. Cheers, Joe

[@ECDmockingjayTube]

Going on a ten day school Greece and Italy trip next year. Excited to try this method out.

[@kristiarcher1106]

One of the best packing videos out there. Thanks

[@RobertBardwell]

It would have been so satisfying to watch you to throw the bundle in anger when it didn't fit in the end.

[@acer4237]

This was awesome, managed to have best organized suitcase yet!

[@Damandeipsc]

Loved it, comprehensive and simple.

[@Wall42007]

Ever been through Customs in Fredonia? This would be a disaster. Still a beautiful job for a civilized world.

[@SwissNoobWatches]

Thanks Sir We love your video.any Airport tips how to travel and save money

[@aitana4985]

its the best video ive ever seen... i didnt know about this way of packing and i learned with two videos but they explained it badly and the method and pack wasnt as exact as yours... also you seem very nice and i like the homemade video aspect, in a university class🎉❤😊

[@kahruptid]

The best I ever seen Thank you so much it's my first time travelling this by far was the best and I try it once

[@batlin]

This would be a great analogy for whole program optimisation in compilers, vs packing each item individually with e.g. the army roll or konmari method (analogous to peephole/local optimisations).

[@Margarita13ize]

You are great packing, thanks for the tips. I need you to pack my bags !!

[@higgalot1919]

Thanks so much, Austin ! Your video just simplified and explained what another youtube video did in a cartoon format ( from Heathrow airport) and it was also a great idea to do the mini bundles...We do something similar,but this video needs to be seen by anyone going on any trip, anywhere. I plan to pack tomorrow ! What a big help...p.s. if you ever get a chance, you could be on " Big Bang" theory..have you ever seen Jim Parson's fold a t shirt ( Dr. Sheldon Cooper)...I learned a lot. Thanks for posting.

[@carolsummers4408]

I think you did an awesome job. I am going on a cruise and I loved packing like you showed me. It let me put a lot of stuff on the bottom of my suitcase. Ignore all those rude comments that people made to you. Their just being stupid. If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. Keep up the great work!! :)

[@mrbiznessguy]

you're talking about not wrinkling up your shirts when you definitely created new creases @5:41

[@shmu9]

True

[@dougdyment2969]

This is not actually bundle wrapping, but a related method called "interfolding". Though the latter has some of the benefits of bundle wrapping, it does not do nearly as good a job when it comes to keeping clothing wrinkle-free. You can learn about actual bundle wrapping at OneBag.com.

[@comediusmaximus]

Good stuff, but I knew his method was a little different, Doug. "Where's the center of the bundle?" Thanks for adding your expertise. Love your site.

[@dougdyment2969]

David Park Exactly. Eliminating the core presents two problems, (1) extraneous folds are introduced, and (2) the lack of a tensioning mechanism creates wrinkles.

[@gloriajewett5382]

Thanks so much! Going on a 7 day cruise and got everything I will need in a carry on size and not even packed tight.

[@SueChenTranslationpluss]

awesome! i'd also put the bundle in a space bag and compress it. Thank you very much for the bundling idea!!!

[@МилорадПавловић-з4ч]

Very usefull, but you must put each shoe into a plastic bag first...

[@dougal1201]

Best method I've seen yet works gr8!!! Thanks for the handy tip :-D

[@susanbrown7788]

Thanks for sharing your ideas. I'm packing now!

[@ruthclive-smith]

Forgot to mention that unfortunately where we come from bags are often opened and things remove and stolen! It would seem that with this method it would be a lot more difficult to access, although we always bubble wrap our luggage to prevent belongs being stolen and since we have done this we have arrived with everything we packed still in the case!

[@maryusa8526]

Brilliant, how much you were able to fit in there and so neat. But no shoe bags? I would think that they might get dirty and mess up the suitcase and transfer odors, even new shoes have a smell. 👍 Thank you for the demo.

[@mohamadjabs3555]

Thanks for this smart packing

[@dougal1201]

Best method I've seen yet works gr8

[@Andyjamz4u]

This was extremely useful thank you for sharing

[@AlexSDU]

That's a lot of pants, just for a week trip. I usually just bring 2 - one I wear on that day, and one spare just in case...

[@safa69]

Agreed 9 pairs of pants is overkill. I would usually bring Max 3 pairs or even just 2. One pair of jeans and one smart pair. Shirts, underwear and socks are more important to have more off

[@melblue107]

When I pack like this, I do it inside the suitcase by just laying out the clothes on the bottom of one side of the suitcase. When I fold it up, there is so much space left on the sides for shoes or other clothes. Then the entire other side of the suitcase is still empty.

[@Anyone553]

Great video!! Now I’m ready to pack!!

[@spicecrop]

Bundle wraping is great for going home but on the way out it totally sucks unless you are going to one place and totally unpacking. How else do you get the button down shirt you want when it's wrapped in a interlocking pile? You don't! I like to get at what ever I want quickly.

[@josephpalau897]

Great video

[@LittleRedHenFilmsLondon]

I wish you could come sort out my closet.

[@PhilippeLarcher]

Did you compare it to packing cubes ?

[@NMalteC]

Who needs seven pairs of pants for a week? Me? I am a huge fan of rolling everything.

[@VickieDStanton]

Very cool, thank you for sharing.

[@abirchoudhury3612]

Good idea but it will be difficult to manage if you need your stuff in bits and pieces. Good if you're directly going to a place, unpacking in a closet and using your stuff.

[@26FtW26]

The most important airport tip: For shorter flights, wear a suit. Trust me, you will not get luggage checks, people will be nicer to you and you'll be prioritized over others.

[@dylanc5587]

Worked a treat, thank you.

[@lynnleipold2617]

This would be a fine method for going on a cruise or a stay at one hotel or a resort. This would be a nightmare if going on a tour or a road trip or any trip with multiple stops.

[@lawyerrock9488]

Thanks for the video. I am pretty sure I don't want my fresh underwear inside my stinky shoes.........

[@slaqdacruzer6261]

put it in a plastic

[@lorneverville8207]

Slaq DaCruzer bbv

[@Anyone553]

This does work!!!!! Thank you !

[@Misty_Unicorn]

Can you do this with a bigger checked bag? Does it work the same way? I came to London, been here over 2 months and did more clothes shopping than I'd like to admit. Although I won't take back most of the clothes I came with, I still have a lot to take back home. Please help. Thank you!

[@rikilii]

Who travels with 8 pairs of pants???

[@kendra6834]

Depends on how long your gone and what you will be doing while your there

[@Ikaretsaka]

wash your clothes

[@rikilii]

Tell me about it. I don't think I wear 8 different pairs of pants over the course of several months living at home.

[@MiradaCarmelita_MC]

rikilii me

[@HirakiToKageNoRakuen]

I wonder how much space it can saved compared to rolling technique?

[@phoenixtrader9172]

Excellent. Thank you so much ...

[@edgabrillo1909]

ill try this man,thanks for the tutorial

[@jameshim526]

comparing this with the rolling method which one is better?

[@Sassygamergal]

Well rolling can make you have more clothes but with this one, I think it helps make sure you don't over pack

[@jameshim526]

Sassygamergal thank you:)

[@Sassygamergal]

james fok your welcome

[@rhondastarling7364]

This was very helpful. Thank you.

[@maryharrison4362]

[@janbaldwin1189]

Did you put the shoes in without a cover/bag???

[@shahadalmakki442]

thanks alot god bless

[@RenggaThe]

good vid! and smart tips !

[@basmastar732]

amazing

[@marziantulabot5512]

Is this way of packing pants more efficient than rolling the pants?

[@packagingmaterialfactory4016]

so great idea

[@chicfrancisco6845]

Thank you for sharing. I will definitely try this. :-)

[@اللهيهدينىامين]

Nice 👍🏼 video ...thanks

[@tahraqapie4783]

thanks indeed

[@user-il6lz9cc8m]

this is great but what about the weight by the airlines that we have to watch , I am worried that you could go over

[@Donyk]

How much does your luggage weighs after packing it? Will it be less than 22 pounds (10 kilos)?

[@iowan1999]

What about dirty laundry when you wear the clothes?

[@sexymomma1928]

Hi can you please tell me what size is the carryon. Thank you.

[@safa69]

Great packing technique, but thought 9 pairs of pants are overkill. I would usually take only 3 pairs of long pants and 2 shorts

[@safa69]

I usually pack a 10 days worth of clothing, no matter how long my trip is. And just do laundry every 10 days. When it comes to pants you can wear more then once. More important is clean underwear, socks and shirt each day. So need 10 pairs of that. But pants wise have 3 pairs, one smart, 2 casual & 2 shorts

[@omarahmadieh3204]

how much did it cost you to travel in france, like averrage cost/hapiness expenses

[@mohamedshalaby4235]

wonderfull video 😍😍😍 plz can you tell me what is the type and dimensions of this bag ?

[@joshuabenton3785]

this is why you get paid a lot and I...don't. brilliant.

[@lesleyvivien2876]

You'll get more socks in your shoes if you roll them up. And you'll keep your clothes cleaner if you put your shoes in a plastic bag. If you're worried about wrinkles, turn your clothes inside out!
