The leg and arm warmers tip is genius! You're the first person to mention this! I'm going to Europe and Asia next month. I'm trying to figure out what wardrobe will work in all climates and fit in a carry on and it is stressing me out! Thanks for the video!
I love packing coconut oil into my carry-on. It goes between a liquid and solid state, so packing a larger jar doesn't worry me. It's a great moisturizer and makeup remover while travelling.
Heyyyy Barbara Vang ! Thx for the comment. Good to know about coconut oil. I've wondered at times how to pack moisturizer for my body, especially in dry climates!
I discovered fleece lined tights when we went to Iceland in June. I used them under above-the-knee dresses & as layering under pants. Also, I use my scarf to roll my clothes in & secure with a belt (which I later use to accessorize). I've even made a shirt outta the scarf in Jamaica. Great videos. I'm catching up on em now that I've found you.
Sasha Forbes Love the shirt-scarf idea. Recently came across an infinity scarf where you can use it as a blouse top, scarf, pareo and some arm/neck wrap. Love fleece lined tights when I travel to cold places!
Scarves are really good for men and women. And they look good. It’s amazing how soon things get cold. Buses etc. I learned rolling from military friends. They know how to pack.
Ha ha. After watching the carry-on video, I had to see how you could travel so long on so little. I'm a dude and I travel with more than that. Good tips!
Hi Christine, I'm traveling to Bangkok where its hot, so i just wear short pants, and coming from Florida, so i wear light clothes every day, so i got a carry on and try to get by with that. thanks Jerome from Florida
I have not tried them Ed. They always seemed to be more space demanding than flattering as you can't really mold them. Why don't you test it and tell me? =D
I am a devotee of packing cubes and helium-weight dry bags for organizing and compressing stuff. You can squeeze the air out of dry bags just like the plastic versions, and they are more durable. I also love the pack-it folders from Eagle Creek for times when I take a suitcase instead of a backpack. Between the folder & the pack-it cubes, I have a system down to use every inch inside my carry-on luggage. For tropical climates, or places where my pack might be exposed to rain, I like to line the main compartment of my pack with a large dry bag (the roll-top kind meant for canoeing or trekking). It's more reliable than a pack cover & does not suffer abrasion because it's inside your bag. Great videos, Christine!
I like North 49 for their Ultra Lite dry bags. They are a good balance between cost, durability and weight. Outdoor Research and Granite Gear make good lightweight stuff sacks too, just look for the ones that fold and clip to seal for true waterproofing. Compression sacs that are made of silicone impregnated nylon will withstand a shower, but not a dunking. Another fave is Pelican cases. These hard-sided beauties are a bit bulky, but they are bomb-proof protection for delicate things.

All helpful tips- I like the part about legwarmers. Never thought of that.
I'm glad I could introduce you to that. They've saved me in many ways.

Have you ever tried packing cubes? Wondering if they're more space efficient than space saving bags.

Maybe I will, GRRRL! You're pretty cool.

I've never tried dry bags, but I like the idea of durability and being able to expose it to water. Do you recommend any particular brand? mountainwit
