I know a lot of people have already mentioned it but I really like how natural the tone of the video has become. It’s lighter and less robotic and I hope it will stay that way.
And I appreciate Lauren’s recurring presence ! She’s funny and it’s nice to have a women’s point of view on your packing tips.
Thanks for the feedback! 😃
Tom & Lauren in one video is just a recipe for success. Love this one
😃😃😃
Tip: Cut off the poking ends of toothpaste or sunscreen tubes with a nail clipper and the ziplock bags will last longer😊
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
You should design a clear 3-1-1 bag with a sturdy zipper! Given your experience and expertise, I would definitely trust your products if you create any :)
I generally travel twice a year for 2 months each time. I carry a 20L backpack and my total pack weight is 9 lbs (4 kg). My toiletry kit weighs 4oz (0.1kg):
o Granite Gear silnylon 'air bag' stuff sack with drawstring (smallest size)
o GUM folding toothbrush (same as Lauren's)
o some number of Listerine mint paks to kill germs and freshen breath
o some number of floss picks and Q tips in a small resealable bag (cut down to size)
o disposable BIC razor
o 2 oz squeeze bottle for hair gel
o comb
o nail clipper
o bottom half of a vitamins bottle
The silnylon pouch will shape to fit in the pack's corner/side as needed. I use the bottom half of a wide plastic vitamins bottle to use as a stand for toothbrush, hair gel bottle, razor and comb. There's no need for 'organization' with just these 'essential' pieces. While I've yet to encounter a sink with no space for even a vitamin bottle, I've added a cord with tiny quick-release buckle to allow for hanging. Most store-bought dopp kits empty will weigh more than my entire toiletry kit.
TIP: before packing tubes with sharp edges like sunscreen, round off the corners with scissors (obviously stay within the welded part) and go over them lightly with a flame to really smooth out the edges. They will never poke holes into your plastic baggies again 🙂
Thank you thank you thank you. This was such a gem of a video. I have watched so many other reviewers videos that recommend, or feel like they are pushing a hanging toiletry bag. I too believe in ‘make use of what you have,’ and I also prefer a counter top bag. Thank you for sharing your personal preferences. So freeing to know I’m not the only one who prefers a counter bag. But I have learned that I can attach a carabiner to the handle of my favorite counter bag and hang it from a towel bar, which came in handy on a recent trip where the counter space was virtually nonexistent 😂. If it wasn’t for these videos, I wouldn’t have even been carrying that carabiner.❤
The tiny toothpaste tubes can be refilled as well! Just put the openings of the empty timy tube and your regular tube together, press, and squeeze the larger tube.
I am always baffled at how 99.9% (in case I haven't found that special unicorn), seems to believe lotion is an optional toiletry. Not sure if is an American thing tho, but I need lotion and cologne on my dopp kit out of paranoia.
Super helpful vid y’all, love this more conversational format too!
Thanks for watching! 😃
First, love your videos!
When I travel, I try to bring as minimum liquids as I can (my skin care routine has several of them already). I use tablet type toothpaste, creamy type of foundation, shampoo (it looks like soap) and regular soap. I have some matador container to carry some of these items.
I started using a silicone see-through Stasher bag as my TSA liquids bag and it seems to work better without having the normal plastic bag getting punctured and zipper bags constantly breaking. I still carry an extra classic plastic bag just in case tho (for specifically flying through Heathrow airport where they seem to be super strict on the bag being plastic material).
I’m with those who prefer hanging because counter space is often at a premium, or exposed to getting wet. Sea to Summit kit keeps stuff well-contained and packs small. Love it.
Great video, thanks. Any suggestions for smaller, perhaps closer to 1 L? Bonus points if they look nice.
I love my Aer dopp kit so much. I have the one with the orange interior and love how easy it is to see items inside. I am like Lauren and use the front outer pocket for hair accessories. I camp a lot and I love how durable and sleek it is.
🤙🤙🤙
oh and the muji hanging ones are my go-to (i have both hanging styles they do)
Thanks for sharing your insights and feedback! 🤙
I carry about as much as Tom and it all fits in a PD small wash pouch: Philips One toothbrush, Matador toothpaste tube, a Bic razor, small GoToob+ with shower gel, Lush shamboo bar, small deodorant, Matador droplet drybag, earplugs, Victorinox nail clippers.
more of you two plsss
Thanks for the feedback! 😃
Hefty used to make a thicker bag with airplane branding
I use the Nightize 3-1-1 bag because I got tired of stuff leaking. Would that be a problem with international travel? It's worked in the US so far.
Can you dig it Tom?
I love Aer, but for a dopp kit it’s too much padding and the material would absorb too much liquid on a wet counter top.
I use the Eagle Creek Isolate Pack It Quick Trip, it lightweight and dries easily if it gets wet. Though the lack of padding means the stuff inside is less protected, which is a trade off i’d choose as i’m not precious about my toiletries.
Toiletries is my biggest hurdle when packing. We went on a 3 week trip to Italy that included a cruise and my husband weighed my black toiletry bag with a luggage scale and it was 5 pounds. OMG. And that wasn't everything I had that one would consider "toiletries" in my suitcase. I just don't understand how people can travel with a carry-on bag only. In Lauren's kit there was no soap or shaving cream or deodorant. She may use a body wash in those refillable tubes. I also don't use much makeup, probably less than she uses but I would take more skin care maybe. I could never just take that black bag only. I think I am going to use my humangear gotoobs at home, fill them up and see how long they last. That will give me a better idea how much to pack.
Hey Lauren, you lifted a purple, what looked like a stack for makeup or skin care out of your 3-1-1 clear bag. What is that product?
Pack- Woohoo,Thank you!this is incredible . take it easy! 🤘
🤙🤙🤙
Great bag but honestly, not having a hook available to hang the bag is a dealbreaker for me, given there is very little counter space in European hotels. I know I could add a hook but the way the bag hangs makes me think things will fall out.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
I try to travel as light as possible so I try to pop to a shop when I arrive and try out local things like shampoo etc makes traveling much easier and I can get into what the locals use which is always fun
I agree with Tom. I have never found a 3-1-1 bag with a zipper that lasts. Ziploc is all I use.
I wonder why not the Aer Travel Kit.
I always clip the edges so theres less chance of poking holes.
🤙🤙🤙
Are there any dopp kits that you would recommend for full size toiletries? I work on a ship and they provide shampoo and shower gel which I like to take with me on holidays and continue to use, rather than leave half used bottles everywhere. I'm looking to update my Kathmandu toiletries bag which I have been using for a good ten years of mostly full time travel or living out of a suitcase.
I missed the name of Tom’s toothbrush, anyone know what it is please?
I like these small dopp kitts, but there just isn’t room for my hair brush or shower cap. I use a sea to summit toiletry bag.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
The biggest liquid I have to contend with is saline solution, which I can't find smaller than 2 oz. Why don't they make minuscule vials for single day uses?
They do come in 5cc and 10cc vials. Lacripure and Nutrifill. But anything for contacts is considered medical necessity and doesn’t fall under the 311 rule.
I’m sorry..it’s ml not cc. 5 ml and 10 ml sealed vials
Always go for hanging vs tabletop. The latter tends to pick up moisture especially during long trips
Also go for lightweight/transparent vs high quality materials (if fabric is thick)
Personally I like a hanging/tabletop so I can set up how I want depending on what's available to hang from or rest on
right! i don't even like to put my toiletry bottles down on the counter whilst traveling as it gives me the ick lol
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
I prefer countertop if it’s an option, but I like bags that work well when also hanging since some places don’t have a lot of counter space! The Peak Design options they mentioned in the video are awesome
They are still picky about toiletries in Paris airport in 2024. I really like airports who don’t require that rule or taking anything out of your bag.
I love your guys’ content and have enjoyed learning a lot of nice tips and tricks over the years, however I feel there needs to be more diversity on this channel. Packing, ESPECIALLY toiletries, can be quite a daunting tasks for a lot of individuals. While it is possible to get some, if not all for a few people, of the liquids you need at your final destination, a lot of people do not have the luxury of finding the many toiletries they specifically need so they are forced to pack them. Although I know this channel strives to find and advise on the best ways to pack light, It would be nice to see the channel possibly offer advice on how to organize and/or accommodate for those who are forced to have to bring more rather than it just be mentioned as an anecdote. Again, love what you all are doing, but diversity would be very welcomed 😊
It be nice if there was a thing that slid on the pokey edge of those bottles
I love Pack Hacker but you are never going to convince me that I need to decant my toothpaste into a Matador toothpaste tube. 😂
Lauren its awsome that your travel bottles lasted so long, but i'd imagine they are probably leaching chemicals into your products. I personally have to have hanging toiletry bags because i'm ocd about damp things / public or common bathroom areas lol and those clear 3-1-1 bags, i've never found one that didnt go powdery and misty looking after a few uses, so that target one is doing really well
Isn't it lighter and easier to buy most of that stuff when you arrive at the location? like, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, medicine...
What do you do with it when you leave?
@@PackHacker I usually buy those tiny bottle on the travel aisle. so 90% of the time they are empty or almost empty. if not, I bring it back, finish using at home then, trash. Not the most econ friendly, I know.
Po made 💀
