If you have access to a washer/dryer, that makes things a lot easier. I can't wear shirts more than once even tho I wear t-shirts. I get an old man smell. I found out that Karen uses a scent free detergent. I wondered why I smelled like my granddad did. I fixed that by using a scented one and wool dryer balls. Granddad can rest in peace. This 56 year old, soon to be 57, only smells when he is supposed to and not because of the clothes or sheets. I just get them for sensitive skin for Karen. Good luck and sweat it out.
As someone who travels frequently, I've found the best way to get around the carry on pain is to travel with a bag barely small enough to qualify as a carry on, but gate check it. That way you're not searching for overhead space during boarding, but also don't have to deal with the bag check lines or the baggage claim inconvenience. It's really the best of both worlds.
wow this man needs to be in a show or something. He is highly entertaining and easy to listen to! The way he packs reminds me of my dad hahaha we had the whole "fold neatly vs roll 'em up" issues too XD
Having just carry on luggage used to be the trademark of experienced travelers. Now everybody is doing it. As a result, the worst thing about traveling, after the security hassles, is boarding an airplane while 90% of the passengers are competing for overhead compartment space. Good luck trying to get to your seat because the aisles are jammed. Then of course the compartment above you is already full because earlier boarders from 3 rows away took your space. I can foresee the day, a few years from now, when travel videos like this will be extolling the virtues of checking your baggage to avoid the headaches of carry on luggage.
it's irritating for me that people don't knwo how to properly put their stuff above and they put both their bags up there instead of putting one under their seat...
A. L. Smith ...here is what do , when I get to my row an over head is full I ask who bag is this ...if no one claims it , I pull it out an put my bag up ....some guy 6 rows back or more will come an get his bag , they are watching because he knows he shouldn't have done that . I have had just one guy say something to me . I just say back to your row .
Agreed. Rolling a dress shirt is guaranteed to have more wrinkled. He actually travels a bit heavy. For two weeks in warm regions I carry three tee shirts, three pairs of socks, three shorts, jeans, and a dress shirt. I then wash my socks and tee shirts in the sink and just hang them in the closet to dry.
I handwash my clothes everyday in the shower in the hotel room and hang them up. They are dry by nxt day. I carry only three slacks and 4 shirts. Also if you alternate one clothing inside the other and overlap them, they don’t wrinkle. I went to Asia for six months with only a carry-on and my laptop bag. Easy peasy.
I think that may be the most pleasant and entertaining packing video I have ever seen. Well done!! Having said that, I am a big fan of travelling light. I can say that in the past I have over packed and regretted it. I realized that I could pack two pairs of shorts and they'd last for days. One or two pair of pants. Just several shirts. Part of the key (at least for me), is having dark colored shorts and pants that will hide any type of dirt. Navy blue, green, maroon etc. The same with shirts and t-shirts. I do not pack t-shirts per se. I pack colored t-shirts that will go with my shirts and shorts, or pants. When we have gone to Europe, we stay at AirBnB and use the laundry. Man oh man, you don't want to be lugging big suit cases. There is no reason to do that. A 22 inch carry on is all you need. We went to New Orleans several weeks ago for 4 days and our carry on was almost half that size. We lacked nothing and had room to spare.
We have found it to be a MAJOR pain the butt to find or to do laundry every time that we have been in Europe. Just know that most hotels will offer to do your laundry but it is super expensive. Leaving shortly for Switzerland and Spain for 10 days and am going try our hardest to not have to worry about doing laundry. Also, if possible, take some old socks, underwear, shirts, etc. and pitch them along the way so you have room for any purchases. Who cares if you look a little rough on your 8 hour flight! Pitch those clothes on arrival
I found that no matter how I pack my bag, either by rolling clothes up or using this man's suggestions, It takes the same space up in a suitcase or carry on. A lot of times I will pack a day's outfit together (tops, bottoms, underwear.
Fantastic Roger. I travel internationally a few times a year and always like to see how fellow business travellers pack to learn something new. Great video.
in australia a carry on ( which is usually meant for a plane inside) is only alloud to be 7kgs. I totally agree with you on the rolling of clothes. i think they get more creased and i hate that.. I also love the fact you're talking to us..not down to us..Well done..Safe travels Roger :)
Traveling can be a hassle when every individual has got different needs.. such as medicine, camera gears, electronic gears such as portable laptop and hard disk etc. but I do agree that weight of the case is very important
Great tips if you sleep in the altogether, don't feel the need for a bathrobe, have no plans to get dressed up in jacket and tie, swim, or work out, can pay for all restaurant meals, do not need an umbrella, rain jacket, or gifts. Packing for a woman also requires slips, braziers, dresses and skirts (with matching jackets and sweaters) in addition to pants, shorts, capris, cosmetics, perfume, jewelry, matching shoes, scarves, hair curlers, power blow dryer, way more shampoo, conditioner and hairspray. But, I enjoyed the video!
Thank you! Finally I found a video about packing a carry on for a week that didn't include rolling clothes or packing cubes or compression bags. Thank you.
Absolutely perfection sir!! Even your brand of choice Tumi is well built; albeit a bit on the pricey side, their products are priced for that reason and last years 💼 🧳 ✈️
The only issue I've ran into while packing like this, is that TSA has pulled everything out of my bag to find the electronic shaver packed under all of my clothing. Some airports are a bit cautious about all electronic devices and like to scan them separately. Well done video though!
Laundry bag: use the vacuum seal ROLL BAGS (not the vacuum cleaner needed ones) you’re going to buy stuff on your trip this gives you more room on the way home.
I basically pack the same way. I have just watched a lot of videos and everyone is folding the clothes, so maybe I will just keep doing what I am doing. My only concern with your way is the toiletry bags on the bottom of the suitcase. I usually need some of the stuff in the bag to use before I go, so unless I pack right before I leave that would be tough.
good tips here, but we usually go for a month, and maybe take a cruise, as well as visit family, so we take gifts. We add a first aid kit, wrist bands for cruising, vitamins, iPads, chargers. There are many extra things we take. We do laundry en route too. I need a few more toiletries than he had. I certainly do cut back each trip.
Glad I ran across this channel. I will be departing Camiguin Island Philippines, to Orlando Florida in March, 2023 for 2 weeks then off to London England for 7 days in April.. This video was a great stop to learn to pack my carry on for a few weeks international travel.
Amazing! The same way I fold my shirts and pants! And I always refused to roll them up, as you actually lose space between the cylinders and they become awfully creased.
Laundry bag.... Hotel plastic laundry bag or garbage can liner. Bring a few bounce dryer sheets... Put them in laundry bag -dirty clothes won't smell when you open the bag....also, rub sheets on skin to combat mosquitoes also you can rub them on the bed and prevent bedbugs...
Nice nice ..... he mentioned BERMUDA my island home , having the right baggage would be nice ... great video teaches those who don't have a clue on how to pack neat and compact
I love, love, love this!!!!! First off you had me when you said don't roll. i watched so many videos of people rolling and it makes me cring, lol. Excellent packing video
1. We roll clothes so it's organized and its easy to pick the one we want to wear than unpacking and packing again. 2. That kind of removes the fact that we need to check our bags assuming we will buy stuff from the country we are going. 3. Someday people will now make videos on why you should check your bags because someday compartments will be full of carry ons
We should need no more for 4 weeks than 1 week. Mix and match, layer and laundry. I agree with small bags for toiletries and make-up. It’s great seeing a guy pack. Entertaining, thanks.
Not sure about the US but in the UK we can’t take anything sharp in hand luggage and it’s either a case or a back pack., can’t take both (unless that’s just the cheap airlines I fly with) . Like many others have mentioned, it’s just as easy to check in your suitcase and take a small backpack for essentials you can’t live without on the plane (whatever that might be).
I usually put my belt inside the collar of one of my dress shirts, to conserve a little more space inside my shoes for socks. But he gives many good tips.
Instead of folding your slacks in half and then folding over the edge, of slacks are too long for suitcase, just fold them in thirds to avoid the crease
If you travel a lot, you probably won’t want to place your bag on your bed. Airlines rarely clean bins. If you check bags, don’t even try to imagine the crap they toss your bag on. On yea, if you’re a guy who drags your bag into the bathroom... you know what that bag touched. There’s luggage racks for a reason
Hi Roger thanks for sharing your packing skills with us. I do a lot of travelling as well but not as much as you do. I have always wanted to travel with just a carry on but my major concern is ‘weight’. Whilst one can pack lots in a small airline approved carryon bag but it might not meet the specified allowed weight limits. Sometimes, the penalty can be costly. Typically the weight limit is 7kg and packing for a week would exceed that weight. For starters, some bags already weight half the limits. Please advise. Thanks again.
They sure are expensive shoe bags! Use 'old' socks instead to cover shoes. They will then keep your clothes clean. Pack your other rolled socks inside shoes to save space.
I've always struggled with the rolled technique that a lot of my travel friends. like Samantha Brown, (Travel Channel) use. If you roll up a piece of paper, then squish it flat, you end up with a LOT of creases. If you fold your clothes like you see in clothing stores, you can stack more, and you end up with two or three creases versus seven or eight or more.
Great video! I have watched a ton of videos about packing and traveling with a carry-on only and have never been persuaded before now. I also loved the Utah plugs, Thanks.
I mean, checking a bag makes things easier on the plane and at security, no toiletry restrictions plus I end up bringing a lot of stuff back when I go away
If I add just one bit of useful technology kit that suitcase I fear that I will hit the stowed luggage size/weight list on discount airlines that fly the Australasian air space. 7kg economy class and 10kg in business class.
Cannot see a suitcase this full making it on any flight as carryon. The weight would be more than whats allowed as standard (7kgs here in australia). Would love to have seen the weight of the suitcase otherwise i call bullshit for flying
Excellent and very friendly video... except...I strongly recommend losing the wheels and using strictly a shoulder bag, and also carrying (and washing) your own pillowcase.
Thanks, been thoroughly entertained - and I, too, travel 180 days a year...😊 Your system is very practical, and I was curious how you also fit a jacket in? Well, it turns out you leave that at home...VERY naughty, haha ! 😄
Evidently Roger is traveling on a holiday or dresses extremely casual all the time judging from his attire and what he packs. I have traveled 'extensively worldwide on business' for over 50 years for usually up to 2 weeks or more at a time. If he were to be traveling on business ........ where are his suits, sports jackets, tuxedo, trousers, ties, hats, other coats, other shoes and/or boots? I certainly wouldn't pack just one suit, one shirt, one pair of pants and one pair of shoes while traveling. That is asking for trouble even if on a 2 day trip if one ever damages their suit or only pair of shoes (It has happened to me.). You could always go shopping to buy more clothes, but usually that is highly inconvenient in time and/or expense .... even if you do have time to find or have something fitted properly. I usually wear my heaviest/bulkier coat and suit while traveling to the 'colder climates'. The overcoat takes the place of those filthy airline blankets on flights, and a jacket makes a convenient pillow when rolled-up. Pack an 'empty' small 'carry-on bag' in your checked luggage for duty-free goods or gifts for your loved ones back home. Pack a few gallon and quart size plastic bags for your wet bathing suit and.or dirty underwear. Tag all your bags with your id and the address of where you will be staying at your next destination. Always include the same id tag inside your bags, as well as a travel itinerary. Never pack anything valuable or your medicine in checked bags. Never let anyone else beside the baggage handlers at airports or hotels handle your bags and never let them out of your sight. "Watch Your Bag!" Bon Voyage!
I think you guys don't have the total weight of 7kg (including laptop) limit for your carry on luggage, we have the 7kg limit in New Zealand, and it is definitely a no go for packing like this.
Agree 100% Most of the carriers I use have a 10 kg limit but I can get down to 7 kg or 8 kg for those carriers with the lower limit. It means having a super light bag My bag (an earlier version IT) weighs less than 2 kg.
@@aus1046 I witnessed them weighing a guys luggage on a trip back from Thailand and my gosh did they make him pay for that extra weight/checked luggage! The guy ended up throwing his bag into the trash to avoid the fee after he nearly missed the flight because they also would only accept cash only payment which he didn´t have any with him. Since then, i closely watch my weight and measurement limits for carry on luggage to never get into a situation like that poor fellow.
People packing for two weeks what I pack for a weekend ... If I pack the you all will have enough for 6 months. (1 shirt / 1 underwear / 1 pair socks x day minimum + 1 set each for emergency ) ( 2 or 3 pants/shorts x week ) ( Shoes x 2 pairs + sleepers/flip flops ){ + dress shirts/pants/shoes/coats/jersey} also swimsuit, computer, adapters , chargers, personal care items.......
Benben the one thing I like about rolling and using cube bags for it is that I can categorize. I pack everything I need for one day in a small or medium cube, take it out it has pants, shirt socks underwear. I don’t have to dig. If I have dress shirts, those I will fold the way he did, lay them on top and hang immediately when I get where I’m going. It’s all a matter of what you need and what works for you.
Very useful tips- many thanks. Sidebar comment- the linked bags were far beyond my price range. Upside is principles of packing remain the same, expensive or less expensive carry on.
Can't believe I just watched a guy pack a suitcase for over ten minutes and stayed entertained. This guy has a gift.
I am not entertained. I am leaving now.
I see what you mean
sirroxalot I watched to the bitter end - I pack like that anyway, so I don’t know why I was glued to the screen!
If you have access to a washer/dryer, that makes things a lot easier. I can't wear shirts more than once even tho I wear t-shirts. I get an old man smell.
I found out that Karen uses a scent free detergent. I wondered why I smelled like my granddad did. I fixed that by using a scented one and wool dryer balls. Granddad can rest in peace.

Wow wow wow wow 👍🏿👍🏿
Although this guy didnt do anything amazing. Did do everything well and was EXTREMELY pleasant to listen to for some reason.
I know! I was transfixed.
The way he folded that first red sweater was art.
idk how this guy manages to be so passionate about a topic like this lol

A. L. Smith Well done. Agree 100%.
everybody is doing it now because airlines rob you for luggage costs now more than ever
This was one of the most positive videos ive seen all week
I'm amazed that I actually had the patience to watch this man pack his carry on. I did learn a thing or two about packing efficiently though.
Agreed. Rolling a dress shirt is guaranteed to have more wrinkled. He actually travels a bit heavy. For two weeks in warm regions I carry three tee shirts, three pairs of socks, three shorts, jeans, and a dress shirt. I then wash my socks and tee shirts in the sink and just hang them in the closet to dry.
Yes, I don't know why he takes 7 shirts for a two-weeks-trip. I can go with your suggestion for travelling over a month.
Roger, I think your attitude IS the secret to good packing! You're awesome!
I handwash my clothes everyday in the shower in the hotel room and hang them up. They are dry by nxt day. I carry only three slacks and 4 shirts. Also if you alternate one clothing inside the other and overlap them, they don’t wrinkle. I went to Asia for six months with only a carry-on and my laptop bag. Easy peasy.

It refreshing to see someone who doesn’t roll, which I find causes major creases so the first thing you have to do is iron when you unpack.
Love the icon in the background!
Very nice. I usually watch packing videos that women post. This one is really good! Entertaining and very educational

I use a vacuum bag on my trips, best invention ever. My butler loves it...

what a cool old man pops
Stick vaccum cleaner
no respect. :( LOL...
It depends on the airline you use. There are various carryon+backpack rules. Check with the airline first
By far this is the very best luggage packing video on the internet!
Well done the segment on folding dress shirts was unique… thank you for your advice… much appreciated

Roger!! YOU are so likable!!!!
Mr. Brooks thanks for the info. Everyone I know says to use the roll up technique. Personally I hate it. I agree with your style more.
Absolutely perfection sir!! Even your brand of choice Tumi is well built; albeit a bit on the pricey side, their products are priced for that reason and last years 💼 🧳 ✈️

I honestly dont even bother with a carry on bag half the time i just check my bags but this a good way to pack since im out 16 days each month
Great video! And love the icons on the wall
I am moving to Germany in 2 weeks for three years!!!
I really appreciate you posting these tips!!
Suggestion -- fold two shirts together -- at least one of them will crease less. Put an undershirt inside if you have them.
first i've heard of this, and it's pure genius.
Don't know why I didn't think of that
Nice nice ..... he mentioned BERMUDA my island home , having the right baggage would be nice ... great video teaches those who don't have a clue on how to pack neat and compact
Love the stuff you've got on the wall behind you 😎😎

Hes so soothing lol thanks for the tips!
And try to make sure the clothing colors match so when you do your laundry everything blends in colors.
Thumbs up for the stuffed Sloth in the background :)
Great video!!! Definitely the best men’s packing video on UA-cam
I usually put my belt inside the collar of one of my dress shirts, to conserve a little more space inside my shoes for socks. But he gives many good tips.
Totally redefining the concept of, “fun”, &, “cool”.
Thank you Mr Brooks! I agree with NOT rolling your shirts or blouses
I prefer to roll everything and use compression packing cubes.
Such a lovely video to watch. You have a very nice outgoing personality. Well done Sir 👍
Very informative video. I have a question. Have you had any issues with the 7kg weight limit in any airport?
Instead of folding your slacks in half and then folding over the edge, of slacks are too long for suitcase, just fold them in thirds to avoid the crease
Great video. Very much what I was looking for! You deserve more publicity.
Get a Barracuda luggage frm Kickstarter (Y) 😊
I do both folding and rolling in a single luggage.... Both has its own merits
Thank you for making this, Roger. Very helpful to see.
The only shoes i usually take is the ones i wear on the plane , if i need runners i take old ones and leave them behind
The best pack video I've ever seen. U r great man.
Thank you for your tips! it's really interesting !

I'm sure it weighed up to 7kg (TSA requirement) but I wish you showed us how much it weighed in the video. But thank you.
I tend to overpack. I will surely give your tips a try
Hi Roger thanks for sharing your packing skills with us. I do a lot of travelling as well but not as much as you do. I have always wanted to travel with just a carry on but my major concern is ‘weight’. Whilst one can pack lots in a small airline approved carryon bag but it might not meet the specified allowed weight limits. Sometimes, the penalty can be costly. Typically the weight limit is 7kg and packing for a week would exceed that weight. For starters, some bags already weight half the limits. Please advise. Thanks again.
22"Duffel bags with wheels are pretty light. I like to take light weight clothing that does not require ironing.
So satisfying watching packing with such precision. Not a fucking clue how I ended up here, but just sipping my beer thinking....cool man, fair play.
The 1.75L Crown Royal whiskey comes in a nice pouch that fits shoes perfectly.
They sure are expensive shoe bags! Use 'old' socks instead to cover shoes. They will then keep your clothes clean. Pack your other rolled socks inside shoes to save space.
I love your sense of humor. Thank you for your tips. I will definitely use them for my next trip. Cheers!
thanks a lot on clearing my mind on whether to fold or roll clothes for my trip☺
Thanks so much! super helpful for a recent trip. Well explained and different than the rolled technique so many are teaching.
I've always struggled with the rolled technique that a lot of my travel friends. like Samantha Brown, (Travel Channel) use.

Cannot see a suitcase this full making it on any flight as carryon. The weight would be more than whats allowed as standard (7kgs here in australia). Would love to have seen the weight of the suitcase otherwise i call bullshit for flying
The big problem is not how much you can fit into a carryon bag. It's the weight.

Dont forget swim trunks and a fleece jacket and warmer vest.

If he were to be traveling on business ........ where are his suits, sports jackets, tuxedo, trousers, ties, hats, other coats, other shoes and/or boots? I certainly wouldn't pack just one suit, one shirt, one pair of pants and one pair of shoes while traveling. That is asking for trouble even if on a 2 day trip if one ever damages their suit or only pair of shoes (It has happened to me.). You could always go shopping to buy more clothes, but usually that is highly inconvenient in time and/or expense .... even if you do have time to find or have something fitted properly. I usually wear my heaviest/bulkier coat and suit while traveling to the 'colder climates'. The overcoat takes the place of those filthy airline blankets on flights, and a jacket makes a convenient pillow when rolled-up. Pack an 'empty' small 'carry-on bag' in your checked luggage for duty-free goods or gifts for your loved ones back home. Pack a few gallon and quart size plastic bags for your wet bathing suit and.or dirty underwear. Tag all your bags with your id and the address of where you will be staying at your next destination. Always include the same id tag inside your bags, as well as a travel itinerary. Never pack anything valuable or your medicine in checked bags. Never let anyone else beside the baggage handlers at airports or hotels handle your bags and never let them out of your sight. "Watch Your Bag!" Bon Voyage!
I think you guys don't have the total weight of 7kg (including laptop) limit for your carry on luggage, we have the 7kg limit in New Zealand, and it is definitely a no go for packing like this.
Agree 100% Most of the carriers I use have a 10 kg limit but I can get down to 7 kg or 8 kg for those carriers with the lower limit. It means having a super light bag My bag (an earlier version IT) weighs less than 2 kg.
Love the icons in the background! My husband is an Orthodox Priest
Yes! I also noticed the awesome icons and the crosses on the other side of the room.
Oh yes! I did noticed the icons... Nice Franciscan cross...mmm maybe he's an x priest! Or just religious... Mmmm...
Oh hi father...
Most Airlines limit carry on bag to 7kg, how do you get around that?
I've rarely had an airlines weigh a bag of mine.

I witnessed them weighing a guys luggage on a trip back from Thailand and my gosh did they make him pay for that extra weight/checked luggage!
The guy ended up throwing his bag into the trash to avoid the fee after he nearly missed the flight because they also would only accept cash only payment which he didn´t have any with him.
Since then, i closely watch my weight and measurement limits for carry on luggage to never get into a situation like that poor fellow.
I love the way u present it!!! Nice
Good video...I'm going on a 10 day cruise and am determined to use just a carryon and a backpack...we'll see how I do😉
People packing for two weeks what I pack for a weekend ... If I pack the you all will have enough for 6 months. (1 shirt / 1 underwear / 1 pair socks x day minimum + 1 set each for emergency ) ( 2 or 3 pants/shorts x week ) ( Shoes x 2 pairs + sleepers/flip flops ){ + dress shirts/pants/shoes/coats/jersey} also swimsuit, computer, adapters , chargers, personal care items.......
Very sympathic gentlemen. Absolutely agree with folding, ranger rolling is just a internet hyped trend and doesnt have any benefits at all
Benben the one thing I like about rolling and using cube bags for it is that I can categorize. I pack everything I need for one day in a small or medium cube, take it out it has pants, shirt socks underwear. I don’t have to dig. If I have dress shirts, those I will fold the way he did, lay them on top and hang immediately when I get where I’m going. It’s all a matter of what you need and what works for you.
Thanks Roger! Really good information. Have safe travels!
Very useful tips- many thanks. Sidebar comment- the linked bags were far beyond my price range. Upside is principles of packing remain the same, expensive or less expensive carry on.
So sweet! This guy is so cute🙃
