Alex Reeburn Haha. ikr. I always wonder from where did all these extra stuff come from after a fun trip is done. Maybe because you're not that excited to go back??
In that case you fold your shirts then roll them to give you more space, then continue to lay clothes out flat and fold them over as he did in the end of this video.
Don't waste a cm³. Makes me think of how I pack my motorcycle tank bag. Another easy win that sounds obvious but doesn't seem to be for many people: tighten a strap around an overfilled bag before zipping it close or open, instead of pulling hard on the zipper. An already closed zipper can handle quite some stress, but its separate "teeth" are very vulnerable while zipping or unzipping.
+Tom Ayzenberg great vid n method but u have wayyyy too much stuff. packing is also about WEIGHT, not just the luggage itself. no one wants to lug 25-30 pounds on their back which is what you have here. a real backpacker opts for a shirt or two and only the pants he she is wearing with some personal items.
Davidgzmn solution to not going to prison for stealing is to not steal. same with trying to prove you didn't lie. uh, don't lie. most problems are self-generated.
I am traveling almost every weekend for the past seven years and can tell you from experience that this way of packing is not the optimal one! When the video was loading I was thinking: "Is he going to pack just the stuff on the floor in the bag?" I have just one word for you to know how to pack compactly: rolled
Awesome job but I wouldn't want to have to unpack everything every time I wanted to get my socks or a pair of jeans. Great idea though if you can unpack somewhere and only have to do this once a week or something when moving to a new location.
Did we watch the same video?.. It's easy to grab things you need from there from how he puts everything together. Need socks? Move the entire Pants+shirt stack from the bag and reach the "simple" things at the back. Need pants?, drag the pants from the stack. Need the sweater?, drag it from the stack. Need a shirt?.. once again drag it from the stack. This only becomes a problem if you want to get that "one specific" item from the stack, as long as you don't care which one you get it's easy to remove. What you do with used items is another thing though. I guess you could start creating a new stack of dirty clothes
sicarius100 I guess we didn't watch the same video because all the shirts were woven in with each other and the jeans as well. That stack wouldn't just lift out and go right back in. It was packed in their tight and layered. Once you lifted it out you would have to go through most of this process again putting it back in and you would have to do this to get your socks and shoes.
I'm sure there are two versions of the video and we're commenting on different versions. They weren't woven "in with each other". They were layered so that you can pull on an exposed piece of clothing and remove it from the stack. Yes the inner most layers can tangle since the fabric is larger than the layer so there will be excess to tuck away but as you can see in the video then as the stack grows so does the fabric needed to fold it and outermost layers will have less fabric to get entangled and once you work down the layers the stack becomes smaller and it'll be easier to "fix" if stuff gets entangled (just use your other hand to hold the other layers while pulling) And it's easy to pull something from the stack, you just don't grab a random layer and pull, you work it methodically. If you want Pants you go with the most bottom layer since one side is loose and if you reverse the stack you can lift the pants up and only half of them will be "in" the stack so relatively easy to remove. If you want the sweater it's the same only it's already the top layer. Want a shirt? Fold the sweater away (like opening a book) and grap the topmost shirt which you suddenly hold a half of and then pull it, and as a finisher you fold the sweater back again. How to remove the entire stack from the case without it falling apart?.. uhhh I dunno, maybe put one hand on the top part and slide your hand along the edge to reach the bottom (not even tricky if the pants are still in the stack) and then hold it together and lift ?
Awesome packing job! I definitely use the roll. Only thing with this is, the way the last articles of clothing were packed... if you're staying in hostals or travelling internationally, you essentially have to unpack each time in order to get to the socks / underwear, etc. But yes, great job, thanks for sharing!
I'm getting ready for a one week trip to Hawaii. And I have to share a suitcase with my mom. I've been seriously, been taking notes on this video. And bringing one suitcase is going to save us a fortune on Jet fair. Thank you. :)
This is amazing. I'm only taking a 22" bag for 2 weeks and I only have 10 days left to figure out how to pack as awesome as this. I know it can be done! :)
Although it's great you fit everything in there, to get at literally anything in the bag you basically have the tear the entire thing apart... and then repack it. Yikes.
I didn't mean it to sound that way. I generally pack 2 pair as well. Most of my trips are done on a motorcycle so I have to pack light and doing laundry isn't practical. I roll my stuff around a dowel rod though, cuts down on wrinkles and makes it easy to find stuff. Works better for my needs.
It's very pleasing to see a luggage packed with *clothes only*. Girls need to squeeze high heels, skin care crap, makeup crap, hair-styling crap, etc in there.
Impressive, I however am female and know my limitations. I need shoes, makeup and all that girl stuff when I travel. I can clean and pack an entire house in a week and unpack it and have everything in it's proper place in 4.5 hours. Trust me, I've done it. :) By the way, I didn't notice any toiletries go into the bag. Did I miss it?
If your gonna bundle wrap, I'd advise using it as a means of transport where you would unpack and store your clothes once arriving. I wouldnt reccommend for say a hiking trip where you want constant access to stuff and your rucksack is your storage
Yeah, definitely only really useful if you are going to full unpack when you get wherever you are going and then stay there. Not as good for a trip where you are going to be stopping a place for a night or two, then moving on.
Yes. Packed. But to get at the bottom.. all of it has to come out. Why the need to interlock all of those shirts? Seems pointless and a great way to make life hard when you need to unpack/ get one shirt, say not the one on the top.
Very unorganized and inefficient. You have to unpack everything just to get to one item. It's not worth it for the sake of "packing light", just bring a slightly bigger bag and save yourself the inconvenience.
very good until the first morning when you need that underwear that is packed at the bottom of that clown car mess. You have to unpack it all to get to the stuff you need at the bottom.
This is fine for a single pack, single unpack type trip, but I dare you to do this over a month, spending two days in each place. Smart packing is about bringing only what you need, and making things accessible. 2 jeans(1 casual/1 formal), 1 shorts, 5 tshirts, 1 dress shirt 7 pairs socks/boxers, 1 gym shorts, 1 gym shirt, and MOST important, a few bags for dirties.
Wait till he hears, "Sorry Sir, may I check your bag?" xD
+Beefslap Benny Hill episode at customs ensues...
Omg yes. I was thinking the same. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 your comment is lit
XDDDDD
Beefslap haha
It's all fun and games till you start packing on the way back and everything suddenly takes 10x more space than it originally did.
Alex Reeburn Haha. ikr. I always wonder from where did all these extra stuff come from after a fun trip is done.
Maybe because you're not that excited to go back??
Lol, it's an unexplained phenomenon.
In that case you fold your shirts then roll them to give you more space, then continue to lay clothes out flat and fold them over as he did in the end of this video.
Alex Reeburn I just pack an extra empty duffel and check it on the way back.
+Alex Reeburn and you buy one little souvineer t-shirt ;)
At airport:
-Sir, could you please open up your bag?
-GOD DAMMIT!
JAJAJAJA
:D
Lol! Right, but we know how to put it back and the TSA Peeps look at is like wtf 😳
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don't let him fool you... His mom is Mary Poppins and we all saw what she can fit in her bag... :-)
dang ima try to do somethin like tht and but it on youtube
Now the bag has the mass of a black hole
*density
😂😂
23cokebottles ace. I just turbolold.
Rodrigo Mirra Timelord science. Bigger on the inside :P
and then you go through security and they will eventually ask "sir, were gonna need to search your bag"
In that case; U be fucked! Lol
Don't waste a cm³. Makes me think of how I pack my motorcycle tank bag. Another easy win that sounds obvious but doesn't seem to be for many people: tighten a strap around an overfilled bag before zipping it close or open, instead of pulling hard on the zipper.

Hope this bag doesn't explodes in flight =D
The Android Guy HUAHUAHUAHUA
Give this man a cookie!
I came here hoping for benny hill music and fast forwarding. I was not disappointed. ^v^
That was GREAT! No extra usless blather, just to the point and done. Props to your mother!!!
Say goodbye to your zipper.

Consistency and compression, as well as using any free volume. Very nice!
Ive been using this method since 2013/2014 and i cant be anymore grateful. Now im sharing it with a friend

When the video was loading I was thinking: "Is he going to pack just the stuff on the floor in the bag?"
I have just one word for you to know how to pack compactly: rolled
Yeah, sure, it's easy with pocket dimensions, I could hide a Boing 747 in that bag too.
Awesome job but I wouldn't want to have to unpack everything every time I wanted to get my socks or a pair of jeans. Great idea though if you can unpack somewhere and only have to do this once a week or something when moving to a new location.

sicarius100 Yikes, definitely not gonna read all that. You win princess, it would unpack like butter.
actually there are three versions of the video and I just watched one where he didn't fit everything in that bag. weird
Awesome packing job! I definitely use the roll. Only thing with this is, the way the last articles of clothing were packed... if you're staying in hostals or travelling internationally, you essentially have to unpack each time in order to get to the socks / underwear, etc. But yes, great job, thanks for sharing!
socks....inside the shoes.....holy shit.
***** seriously though, I never thought about putting all the socks in spare shoes. It does make sense.
I'm getting ready for a one week trip to Hawaii. And I have to share a suitcase with my mom. I've been seriously, been taking notes on this video. And bringing one suitcase is going to save us a fortune on Jet fair. Thank you. :)
This is amazing. I'm only taking a 22" bag for 2 weeks and I only have 10 days left to figure out how to pack as awesome as this. I know it can be done! :)
I hope you packed your favourite shirt at the top.
You probably need some clothes. Just saying.
omg .... what if security asks to check your bag and takes everything out.
HiddenPalm , it's not that difficult. It's also fairly quick.
I cant believe it..6 years since first time i saw!! i hope u still enjoying travelling
Those are some mad packing skills! I'm impressed! Makes me want to have any excuse just to pack!
Kudos for anybody that got the nerd reference to Hitchhickers's Guide to the Galaxy : The man leaves his towel easy to access.
Although it's great you fit everything in there, to get at literally anything in the bag you basically have the tear the entire thing apart... and then repack it. Yikes.
So true... :D
I loved you in college and now I love that I remember you made this video. Thanks!!!!
A note from the tsa saying they searched your bag would be classic. Half you shit would be in a garbage bag next to your bag.
"Ehm, I'm really sorry Sir but I must search your luggage." "Oh fuck.."
wow that is incredible
your profile pic with your comment are very contradicting....
Sean Castanon Or his profile pic with his comment are very well complementing, if it were to be sarcasm.
Sean Castanon ahaha, i know, curse of the sarcastic face. im actually like this in real life too. but in this occasion im really really impressed
lol good stuff, good stuff
It should be Tetris team song player in background. ahahah Thx for the vid tho, it helped me :)
i not only love how useful this video is... but the fact that you showed it all to me in under 90 seconds! Thanks, gracias y danke :-)
It is a very organized and compacted suitcase, bravo. Glad you made this video it really gives some practical suggestions.
That's a serious amount of clothes.
Can i call you master ?
You may call him... mini me!
you're a pro!!
there's something so satisfying about this video
You have no idea how many times this video has helped me pack for vacation.
My mind is blown.
...toothbrush, toothpaste, shaver, shampoo, deodorant, meds, charger(s)... ... ... ??
Exactly!
Pack with back pack or handbag
Fabillah Hussain The point is to take one bag.
tipsynipper carry-on
*****
if you roll anything that you can into a tube, you can get even more space.
I didn't mean it to sound that way. I generally pack 2 pair as well. Most of my trips are done on a motorcycle so I have to pack light and doing laundry isn't practical. I roll my stuff around a dowel rod though, cuts down on wrinkles and makes it easy to find stuff. Works better for my needs.
Amen. He packed that bag to the fully capacity. Thanks but I know I over pack every trip like I’m not coming home. Ok. Thanks for the tutorial!!!!
he much teach me his ways *-*
It's very pleasing to see a luggage packed with *clothes only*. Girls need to squeeze high heels, skin care crap, makeup crap, hair-styling crap, etc in there.
Impressive, I however am female and know my limitations. I need shoes, makeup and all that girl stuff when I travel. I can clean and pack an entire house in a week and unpack it and have everything in it's proper place in 4.5 hours. Trust me, I've done it. :)
By the way, I didn't notice any toiletries go into the bag. Did I miss it?
Toiletries are cheap, you could buy them once you arrived your destination, and dispose them on the way home.
C.J. McCullough , outer pockets
Very useful video man, with this method i was able to pack all my clothes for two weeks in one single and small suitcase.
Mind blown! I wish I would have stumbled upon this sooner!
And then what if i want to only take out the shoes?
Good luck.
Take out the whole bundle of clothes and then ur shoes. Simple
That was epic!!!
Omg that cat shirt!! Love it
you're so talented, with your talent, you can still add baby, a child, furnitures from IKEA, and fungus from mario bros to that bag
If your gonna bundle wrap, I'd advise using it as a means of transport where you would unpack and store your clothes once arriving. I wouldnt reccommend for say a hiking trip where you want constant access to stuff and your rucksack is your storage
Great for packing, but I'd like to see the unpacking video as well.
Seems like you would have to undo all of your work just to grab what you need.
=\
Yeah, definitely only really useful if you are going to full unpack when you get wherever you are going and then stay there. Not as good for a trip where you are going to be stopping a place for a night or two, then moving on.
Now wait until TSA makes you unpack it at the airport...
Thank you for sharing. :-)
you are a hero to all exchange students!
I just wanted to commit foul necropost to thank you for reminding me that the Benny Hill music exists. You've so brightened my day.
Okay, now where do you put your toiletries?
Scott Monty , the outside pockets
Well, it only took 4 years to get on reddit again. But hey. Not bad.
Браво !!!
Good evening friends! ☼ ((✾◕‿◕✾)) _Удачи_! ☼ ★★★★★
Excellent way to pack a ton of cloth! Thank you!
That's pretty awesome!! Until security goes through your bag and messes it all up!! I hate that, but great job man!! We pack very much alike!
Yes. Packed. But to get at the bottom.. all of it has to come out. Why the need to interlock all of those shirts? Seems pointless and a great way to make life hard when you need to unpack/ get one shirt, say not the one on the top.
TheObsessedGardener , less wrinkles
well, hes a boy he doesnt need, make up, high heels, lost of outfits, handbag,etc
I'm a guy and one pair of shoes wouldn't work for me.
I'm a girl and I don't need neither of that stuff :/
Nazgullll totally agree. I still have extra space in the bag when I go home.
+Nazgullll thats great but us others still need to pack makeup
shreya : "need " makeup is not a necessity .
What in God's name is this gotdamn black magic??
Sir, you are the best of packing!!
What a great technique! Thank you for posting this video man.
What the fuck! HOW!
sigh.. please pack for me
Then his bag explodes in the airplane. 8D
Morgan-Typhon-Yu 3, 2, (cockpit compresses,) FUCK!!!! LOL!!
Perfect choice of song. And to those wondering about toothpaste and such, he's still got the outside pockets to use.
Good thing I saw this right before my cruise.
I do this on the daily.... i mean come on... im a soldier....
I fold my clothes this fast every single day. :p
Moms could do this with 50% less bullshit and in half the time.
Holy Shit!!! That blew me away!!! I will be buying the Aeronaut Traveller Bag so I'm hoping to do the same! Good job!
Great video we are converted to travelling light! We managed to go on a ski holiday with only carry on cases.
upboat if ur a fellow le redditor hear to watch a fellow redditors video XD
*LE REDDIT ARMY UNITE!12!2!!"
this is why we can't have nice things.
I've seem this kids douchey emo face saying stupid reddit things on several videos. It's not cool. In fact, it's pretty Clay Aiken.
The best bit is this Guyrl..? posts this on every video to make it to the front page.
GTFO
Can you do a girlie version of this video with some toiletries and make up? :)
That would be sooo good!!💕
This wouldn't work for girls 😂 The amounth of clothes: Yes. But where's my makeup, shampoos, alls kind of hair stuff and so on
Waiting for you in a store for purchase at your destination ;)
kkostadinof in some destinations is no way to buy it, and the thing is saving money, not spending more
Iam Who , use the outer pockets.
Great vid. I need more shoes, but I'm watching this before leaving for 4 days, very useful.
Yup! That's how I do it. Great video!
Very unorganized and inefficient. You have to unpack everything just to get to one item. It's not worth it for the sake of "packing light", just bring a slightly bigger bag and save yourself the inconvenience.
Or less clothes.
+Linus Wärn or that.
But yet again he will unpack his bag when he stays at one place for that entire month but if he is on the move frequently then it would be a pain.
A RJ , actually it is effective. TSA compliant. And resists wrinkles.
You are kidding me right???
Teach us da wae
Unbelievable! Thanks for sharing your packing tips by demo!
Excellent! I do use storage cubes to help but the same method in the cubes.
Baggage.RAR
Liar, didn't pack the lamp in.
very good until the first morning when you need that underwear that is packed at the bottom of that clown car mess. You have to unpack it all to get to the stuff you need at the bottom.
No wayyy. This is amazing. Im still in shock 🤣🤣🤣
This is fine for a single pack, single unpack type trip, but I dare you to do this over a month, spending two days in each place. Smart packing is about bringing only what you need, and making things accessible. 2 jeans(1 casual/1 formal), 1 shorts, 5 tshirts, 1 dress shirt 7 pairs socks/boxers, 1 gym shorts, 1 gym shirt, and MOST important, a few bags for dirties.
learn winrar
Who wants t-shirts that smell like your dirty shoes though?
The shoes are in plastic bags
He stuffed socks in the shoes.. not shirts
Sarah Xiang Yes, and you can always put air fresheners in there too. From specially made shoe thingies to even dryer sheets to simple baking soda.
If your shoes smell too much to put your clothes inside, I think it’s your feet and not this packing method you should be concerned about 😬
They have a weight limit for carry on by the way. Here in Hawaii, Hawaiian airlines weight limit is 25 pounds or less and limit 2 bags per person
Thanks for this. I've been looking for a very informative videos about packing stuff.
This is so simple and helpful. Thanks for sharing!
