THE RIGHT WAY TO PACK A SUITCASE ✈️ Carry-on only with compression cubes

ROLL vs FOLD 👇 What's the best way?

Y’all have become my favorite travel channel in only like 3 videos. ❤

I’m only using a 36L backpack (usually counts as a personal item) for all trips now: one big packing cube for all outer clothes, one small packing cube for undies, socks, sports and swimming suits, and a shoe bag for 1-2 pairs of shoes. Plus a toiletry bag, an electrics bag, and a laptop bag. Raincoat in outer poach of the backpack, water bottle (and sometimes umbrella) in the side poaches. I’m packing lighter than my husband 🎉

Genius! Part 1 of this series gave me the perfect tools to fit my whacky, panicky, compulsive packing style into useful guidelines! I've been struggling for years to not over pack! Just came back in May from 4 weeks in the UK and was able to only take two 21" spinners (one in the cabin, one checked) plus my personal item and felt so proud! And still had items I didn't wear or need. But your 3 Day Method just leveled me up :) Thanks for some awesome tools that will help wean me from mega over-packing! (And I fold and roll ;)

I have to confess, I am skeptical about the everyday. On a longer trip there are a lot of everydays…i think i need more clothes than just one everyday outfit. I agree with the travel day and the essential day philosophy…but i feel like i need 3 more tops and another bottoms or another dress for the everyday. Have to be careful they are light materials to fit them all in. So I guess I am using a combination of this 3 day method and the old fashioned 5 tops 2 pants 2 dresses ! I’ll just pretend I change a lot on my everyday. 😂😂😂 I will test the method on my next trip..until then the jury is out ! But i still love it. Keep these videos coming !! Think i need some of those pretty packing cubes now…

I stayed with my brother to help care for his family after his kidney living donor transplant, I used your system to figure out how much clothes I would need for the ten days I would be with them. It actually worked great. I found that I had something for everyday and occasional outfit change. I just ordered a Cor Surf 28L travel backpack bundle and I am going to try your packing system out.

I have two of your sets… My favorite is The Nat’l Parks! I use compression cubes in my dresser, too. Keeps the seasons organized!

Thank you, this series is amazing! Can't wait for the next video!

I love this! We’re going to Europe soon, and watching this is part of the excitement!

Thanks for sharing. I fold and roll but always use cubes (regular and compression).

I fold and roll, use regular and compression cubes. My most difficult items to pack are my size 38DD bras and swimsuit. I usually pack a 25” rolling duffle and have gone for up to. 4 weeks including the mountains of Peru and Galapagos in the same trip. 1 cube for cold, 1 for warm. I really like your compression cubes but wish they open more for easier packing.

Would love to see the video for the personal packing item to include your laptop and also recording gear for your travel vlogs! Also..and sorry if we've missed this - selfishly we would love a video on what to pack for a long trip (4 months). We are off to Asia again soon and this time we really don't want to overpack!

I’m thinking folding…we will see how this packing goes for our London, Iceland and Portland Oregon carry on only situation!😂😂😂

I purchased one of the tripped compression sets and a cheaper set of a different brand. Though I really loved the quality and color (National parks) of the tripped cubes, I did not like that they did not zip fully open , with the “top” that can flap back and all items are easily accessible. The cheaper version did this, so I kept that one and returned tripped. I would have happily kept the tripped set except for that one feature. Please consider adding this feature and I will be a forever loyal customer!

Another fab video, thank you! I'm trying to move from chronic over-packer to carry-on only so I'm binging on your videos. I'm trying to find the biggest carryon for European airlines (I'm an Amerian living in Ireland and do a lot of hops to the continent). What has the biggest capacity in your opinion?

I roll and fold. It depends on the item and what packing cube it is going in.

I love your videos as they are helpful. However, the latest international trips the airlines had a weight restriction. How do you work around that? I don’t usually check in a bag but now I have to place items in my personal bag or don’t use packing cubes.

Nice! What is the size of you 2 bags...and...how do you feel about the bags that just have the 1 deep side versus those that pack on both sides? Thanks so much for these videos! Just picked up your toiletry bag and electronics bag. Great items!

Hello Fin, I have some Tripped products and other brands as well of packing cubes, about to order a full set from Tripped because they are stronger and weigh less. However there is one thing that would be really helpful, as a product and as a video. Please make those small, long tubes that can be purchased separately OR a set that is made to fit in carryon suitcases on the side of the suitcase with the retractable handles, to fit in those valleys of space. Just setting packing cubes on top wastes space and the Tripped cube/sleeve that I have fits very well, but there's only one, have to buy a complete set. I'm buying a graphic set, but I would have preferred to get a set that is simply all different (solid? print?) colors, just so I can locate what I packed in each cube, rather than all of them matching. The graphic set will do this. Thanks for the videos, and the products!

I would be interested in a review of your Away vs Monos suitcases. I have been debating between the two.
