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

[@TrippedTravelGear]

ROLL vs FOLD 👇 What's the best way?

[@amritawhitman8112]

The Folding Lady has a couple of helpful packing videos. She demonstrated using compression packing cubes vs non-compression cubes, that folding rather than rolling clothes in a compression cube will give you a flat finish cube and can potentially free up more space in your luggage than what you'll get by rolling them because rolling your clothes in compression cubes creates a bulkier packing cube. So rolling works better with regular cubes instead of compression cubes. If space isn't as much of a concern, the advantage to rolling is that you can easily see your clothes as you simply move your cube to a dresser drawer at your destination. You can see that part of her video here: th-cam.com/video/0q2LI4fIVLw/w-d-xo.html

[@lollygee172]

I’m with you…both whatever works for the item. I did find it interesting that you packed by day rather than item type especially if you plan to mix and match along the way. I’m leaning towards bottoms w/unders, dress/skirts w/unders, tanks and blouses w/bras, layering pieces. Miscellaneous bag with socks scarf pjs…I’m allowing myself to buy any just incase item - maybe a trench or bootie if weather is more foul. Since my trip is 6 weeks, I’ll only know the weather for the first week or 2 and I will be moving around alot. (France). Thoughts- advice? Its my first time in Europe leaving mid September.

[@kellydooling]

i mostly roll, but sometimes fold an item on top of my top-opening packing cubes. which reminds me: any plans to create this style? for me, they are the most effective. the wrapping method is completely nutty. you have to unwrap the whole thing to get to anything. 😅

[@lokicooper4690]

Like you, I use both. Depends on the type of clothing.

[@j.n.w7903]

Your empty purse could become a packing cube which would help maintain its shape.

[@charisli3542]

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 🎉

[@TerriM416]

Same with me.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

EPIC!

[@mhtammi]

I pack in a similar way. I am ashamed to admit that I feel smug when I’m travelling and see people struggling with large rolling bags on trains, cobblestone street, small elevators, stairs, etc. 😊

[@helenstewart2085]

Am of the age that my school bag was a rectangle leather bag with a side pocket, we have a weight limit of 7kgs with the cheapest ticket, next price level can have a personal item. Flying to Europe can be 2 days, but prefer to do it as quickly as possible.

[@phototristan]

By personal item, do you mean it will fit under the seat?

[@candecarro]

I went to London last year with lots of elegance for 7 days. I started “packing” well in advance. By the time I put it in my carryon I had made all of the substitutions and deletions I would typically have done the day before. It was my first flight since Sept 2019.
My suitcase as packed was perfect. I was always comfortable and well dressed.

[@sarahmedearis9578]

Thank you for these tips! I've watched HUNDREDS of these videos, and as usual, your methods, like your products, are the only ones that make sense for me!
Please have this series wrapped up by October, because I'm leaving for a 25-day cruise in November! I need ALL of your wisdom! 😂❤

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Love this compliment, thank you! 🤗

[@rebeccarouzbehi7242]

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…

[@MsIchigo93]

For a substantial trip 3 shirts x 2 bottoms, if they all match each other, make 6 outfits, (so take more/less as needed) and I also count on items picked up along the way as I like to pick up cute clothing & souvenir shirts anyways.
Counting outfits for the flights there & back as everyday, doesn't add much at all.

[@hopeheavenonplanetearth1417]

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!

[@paddymellonltd]

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 ;)

[@TrippedTravelGear]

LOVE to hear it!

[@debraschwicht9741]

THANK YOU for saying the “light bulb went on“! So many people say the light bulb went “off”; one of those tiny (unimportant😊) things that bugs me!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

💡😆

[@nursemarji]

I already packed similarly with regular packing cube, but will be purchasing a set of your compression cubes! The only thing that is a MUST for me is to pack dirty shoes in bags (usually just reuse plastic shopping bags), and pack slippers if I don’t already have a pair of flipflops. I never wear shoes in my house (first gen Asian American here), so kinda grossed out by throwing uncovered shoes into my suitcase. Also, I pack a laundry bag (did I miss that in the video?). Love the tips and checking out your other videos! Thanks!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Luckily for you, our 7-Piece set comes with a shoe cube AND a laundry bag!

[@judiec6447]

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!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

LOVE that idea! Just packed for a trip this morning and put my curling iron and hairbrush in there but agreed, would be better used with clothes!

[@dianawing2768]

I agree! I have purchased just a regular packing cube (tube!) set for my suitcase, but would switch over if a set of compression tubes was offered.

[@marthameyer7918]

I’m in the gray area too. Sometimes I roll, sometimes I fold. Love these videos!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Totally depends on the item!

[@crystalconkle7319]

First time traveling to Europe. I’m gonna try your message and see how it works!!! I am the queen of overpacking always have the biggest suitcase with the most in it and never used all. I hope you do a toiletry video as that’s another thing I tend to overpack.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Let us know how it goes!

[@robynd5899]

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!

[@lokicooper4690]

I’m the same. Much prefer the cubes to open clamshell style, so you can see everything inside.

[@kellydooling]

agreed.

I love the tripped compression cubes & I have given them as gifts (6 to date) to my traveling friends & family. I like that it is lightweight, durable & versatile. Travel tips by Laurie introduced me to Tripped. I recommend them to all my friends. I use them for the purpose of having enough room for shopping while on vacation. Thank you!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

🫶 We LOVE Laurie! Love the idea of gifting compression cubes. It's like a promise to travel!

[@CourtneyG1015]

I haven't heard of this method before but saw Genx Gypsy use it in one of her videos recently cited your video as inspiration, so I had to come check it out. I am curious to try it on my next trip. I have a work trip in a couple of weeks and then Christmas Markets in Germany in December so it sounds like the perfect time to try it out!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Awesome! Glad you came to check us out!

[@elizabethhill7695]

I like your method . Works very well.
But something I want to share with you. I traveled a lot overseas with my parents for my dad’s work. Something I miss is the ease of travel of years ago. Did you know that travelers had sky porters that helped with luggage and would take them to the ticket counter for you. Then when the bags arrived, again there was assistance to place bags into a taxi. At that time bags did not roll. Also people would take more than one suitcase. So for me traveling has become so much harder and rougher. Those were the luxury days of travel.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Thankfully it's more common to have wheeled luggage now!

[@kymstclaire1388]

I use the sleeve for my hair brushes and straightener. The handle allows me to hang it on something in the bathroom. I always pack a raincoat and found I can fit it between the two halves after they are packed, then if I need it at my destination I need only to unzip a little and it pulls right out.
Great video, thank you!

[@amyparoline4025]

A small see-through tab on the front would be nice. You could insert a post-it note with a label of what day or group of items is in the cube.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Our Weekender Cubes include a slot for labels as well as premade labels! I'll link them here: amzn.to/3zuqNMf

[@lesliefarrar2264]

Weight should take priority over “what fits”. You will have to lug this weight around.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Only 22lbs! Not too bad, especially on wheels

[@mildyweinstein7853]

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.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Separating out cold/warm clothes in compression cubes is a great way to stay organized! If you're looking for compression cubes that open up fully, check out our Weekender cubes! amzn.to/436rqc9

[@carolforthman9529]

I agree about the bras. I don't think I've ever seen a packing video with underwire larger bras (I'm a similar size). I usually stack mine and put them on one side of the case between the inside handle rails, but they take up a lot of room. I haven't tried them in a compression cube yet. Worried about the wires getting bent out of shape.

[@ALMAPAGAN]

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.

Looking forward to part 3! Good series!

[@lap8329]

Very interesting, and some good ideas. However, is it over the 7kg limit imposed by many international airlines? And what about that toiletries bag? That won’t pass screening for carry on. But I love your compression bags, and plan to order a set.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Our 3-1-1 toiletry set is designed to meet TSA restrictions!

[@verareading585]

Compression cubes are great, regardless of luggage size. But... if you travel domestic with a carry on within a country like Australia then the max weight is only 7 kg.

[@Bunny-fd8zl]

And all these clothes plus a typical suitcase of about 2 to 3kg is going to weigh a lot more than that!
They do have better carry on backpacks these days which are lighter weight than suitcases but less able to shove zips closed etc

[@jillianmarie77]

I'm fairly adept at carryon only travel, even internationally, even for 2-3 weeks in different climates (excluding true winter). I definitely love the perspective from your last video! I traveled to the UK last month and used that to start off all of our suitcases (our college kids too). Thanks!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Awesome to hear!!

[@sylviahuizingarebelfitnati4845]

Loved your 2 Packing videos and I'm looking forward to the next one on Packing your Personal Item. My 12 day Alaska Cruise now has a 1 week California cruise added on so I'm going to be packing for 2 completely different climates! (your Iceland packing video and your Greece video are super helpful!. I just need to combine the 2. I think footwear is going to be the biggest challenge.)

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Great! So glad the videos have been helpful for your packing!

[@kennisjarvis8105]

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

[@brittany281]

I really wish I had found your method a little earlier- just did my first international vacation for 14 days. While I managed COO, I could have taken even less with your method probably (still didn't use everything as I thought I would).
Also, thank you for admitting rolling AND folding is the best. It's all about what gets it in the cube.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Carry-on only for your first international vacation is very impressive! Next trip prep will go even smoother with the 3 day method!

[@elainemcdonald1539]

Best how to pack video ever!

[@KP-xj4xe]

I love your compression bags. I started out folding then went to packing cubes but compression is the way to go for sure. I pack my flat iron in a silicone pouch, protects in case I have to pack it warm. The bag I tend to pack my underwear. Great video

I've watched so many travel & packing videos and have to say, I am so intrigued by your method of deciding days instead of standing in front of the closet or trying to pick items that will go with other pieces.

Here goes a challenging one for you to tackle. We are travelling in January to Dubai/ Singapore/Indonesia & Japan. Family of 5. Ideally just a carry- on each. But there are so many boxes to check! ( mosque appropriate attire/ camel riding/ beach resort/ winter). Any advice beyond packing cubes?

Please explain why you designed it that way. I'm also trying to figure out how to prevent my toiletries from weighing a full 2 lbs! I keep trying to figure out how to reduce the load but I'm failing miserably! I'm preparing for a 5 week trip next month to The Netherlands and the UK and I would love to see a demo please!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Awesome! Absolutely! You might be referring to the main compartment with a zipper both on the front and the back? That compartment is convenient because when the hanging toiletry bag is fully folded up and zipped closed, you can quickly access something in that compartment using the back zipper without unrolling the entire bag. Hopefully that helps, but I’ll be sure to include it in the toiletry video!

[@amritawhitman8112]

@@TrippedTravelGear Thank you very much for responding! That's awesome and I'm looking forward to your video! That is the compartment I referred to, but I mistakenly described 3 zippers. The zipper below the one for the large compartment is for two small compartments. Still, I would love a tutorial that includes suggestions for what to put in each compartment. For instance, to your point, I can't imagine what I would put in the large compartment that I would need to access without unrolling the entire bag, but I'm sure you had something in mind when you designed the bag. As a solo female traveler, I like to travel as light as possible so I can easily use public transportation and get up and down stairs. I lived out of a backpack traveling around Europe for 2 1/2 months in 1971 when I was 20, so been there done that! 🤣My challenge for my next 5-week trip is how to keep the weight of my 7 lb TravelPro Crew Classic Carry-On Spinner and my 15" Lovevook personal item backpack as low as possible!

So this only really works for a size 6 vs. most full bodied women size 18 much less higher weight women. Hmmmm

I’m a size 16/18 and utilize this same approach. I’ve done several 1-2week trips in a carryon

I think my largest pain is packing business clothes. I leach time I travel for work it’s travel day clothes and then dress pants, tops, or suits. Suits are the worst. I haven’t found a way to pack them that makes it simple but also avoids wrinkling when it comes to compression cubes.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

That is tough! Although, my dad did once pack an entire suit in an XL compression cube all the way to Peru. A quick iron or hanging them up in a bathroom with a steamy shower running will do the trick!

[@jadeseahOFFICIAL]

This is great for squeezing more stuff in a small space, but how about the problem of creased clothes please? The laying method so far produces the least amount of wrinkles, at least for me. 🙂

[@TrippedTravelGear]

This anti wrinkle spray has also been a life saver: amzn.to/3yMIzxw

[@sarasherman]

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!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

I prefer suitcases that are packable on both sides. Thanks so much for the support!

[@DelightfullyDoe]

How do you bring souvenirs home? :)

[@TrippedTravelGear]

That's where I save room in my personal item!

[@DwainThomas-l6e]

Unless I missed it in your previous video. The packing went great but how did you know you were not over weight?? (tight fit)

[@TrippedTravelGear]

The final weight was 22lbs!

What suitcase is this? Away? Travel Pro?
What’s your opinion of the best hard-side carry on?

[@TrippedTravelGear]

This is the Away Flex, but we also love the Monos Bigger

[@Gabrielle.Steele]

Did you downsize the packing guide? I’ve been watching some of the other packing videos and it seemed like they had more details to theirs. Just curious if there’s a way to get that guide or if it’s just the three page one?

[@TrippedTravelGear]

We've just revamped our system to become the 3-Day Packing Method! We felt like the "Everyday" was an important step to add. Full new download to come!

[@Draylogie]

But how do you remember which things for which days are in which bags? It seems like it would be so much better if the bags were clear/see-through!

[@TrippedTravelGear]

We actually do offer mesh cubes! I'll link them here: amzn.to/3Uc2SL6
I just can't get over the dusty teal color!

@@TrippedTravelGear that's so exciting! Thank you!

[@jennifersmyre2345]

I've always been concerned about weight-creep when using compression packing cubes. I live in Norway and European airlines seem to have more stringent rules regarding both carry-on size AND weight. Have you found that your suitcase gets heavier because you can compress more in a cube?

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Europe definitely has stricter regulations. We've noticed that going carry-on only makes it easier because you can get a mobile ticket, skip the check-in counter and go straight to the gate! No weigh-ins.

[@JoanMiles-y8r]

Where is part 3 please?

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Coming up!

[@lollygee172]

Fin, what was the size of the two different suitcases you used. Was the first a checked bag (24”)?

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Both are carry-on size! One just has a second zipper for a "flex" option.

[@rachelwetherington177]

What suitcases the smaller suitcase?

[@TrippedTravelGear]

That is the Monos Carry On Pro

[@Grammygirl29]

Better to have packing cubes with mesh see-through tops.

[@lokicooper4690]

I’d like to know why you decided to make your cubes only open 3/4 ways, instead of all 3 sides (clamshell style)?
I find them frustrating to use and pull one item out of when just opening up the entire cube is so much easier.
I mean, we don’t open suitcases that way, why packing cubes?
I find your capsule wardrobe choosing method interesting, and will see if that works for me on my next trip. Busy taking notes.

[@TrippedTravelGear]

Thank you for the feedback! This design ultimately helps with the compression ability of the cubes.

[@lokicooper4690]

@@TrippedTravelGear Thank you for answering my question!

[@kristinechristensen4026]

Rolling is a great way to prevent wrinkles! We personally haven't seen more wrinkles by using compression cubes vs not
