Smart people pack smart. Excellent packing ideas particularly for senior citizens. Why? Now that I am older, it takes me more time to pack and it really frustrates me. I noticed the frustration with my mother (never ending) packing. My wife and I had to literally help my mother and pack for her so we won't miss the plane. Sorry mom when I used to get annoyed because I did not understand your frustration. Rest in peace mom, we love you. tnx Ed
Nice video. A suggestion...place your bundle into a thin plastic trash bag before you pack it into the suitcase. This will not only protect it against any possible water leakage from the outside but reduce wrinkles and make it much easier to extract the bundle from the case and get to the items on the bottom of the suitcase (shoes, underwear, toiletries kit).
I travel a couple of times a year and always watch this video to refresh my memory. The gift that keeps on giving! Thanks for filming and uploading this.
Thanks so much for this!! Allowed me to travel for work for 6 days with only a carry-on (including a suit, workout clothes, and running shoes)! Amazing!

Finally, a video on packing from a guy! Thank you! Great tips. Appreciated the easy to understand, simple how-to demo, and to the point instruction. As a mom of only sons and with an engineer minded hubby, this will help a lot. Too many videos online by women/girls with all that extra fluff talk that served more like mindless entertainment than instructional. Although, agree with the earlier comment....eh, no underwear? Too funny.
thank you so much, I got it done on the first try to. I am a 64year-old plus size woman and I packed 5 pairs of jeans 3 bulky sweaters, 5 long sleeve pull over blouses a pair of sneakers 7 pairs of socks my underwear and lol I forget my pajamas but I'm sure they will fit.
This was amazing! I just packed for an 8 day trip for both me and my husband (including formalwear) in one suitcase!! I'll never pack another way again. Thanks!
Great video, I bought a new spinner type roller bag after using a garment bag for years. Preparing for my first trip with new bag I realized I had no idea how to pack it. Fortunately I found your video. You guys are doing some great Engineering work at OU! I always assumed your Engineering only covered recreational science, so I am glad you have expanded into travel science! (Sorry, I am a UT Alum, so I had to get a jab in). Seriously, thanks for taking the time & effort to share your video. I am testing it on a trip to Seoul. Cheers, Joe
I'm astounded at how well this works. My bag, unfortunately, didn't have a compression zipper, so I chose to stow my smaller items in a different bag. But even without those, I was looking at the bundle thinking "no way." But it worked! On the return trip I'll probably wear my jeans and pack my thin sweats, because I did have to squish it quite a bit. But very impressive nonetheless.
You ROCK! I'm packing for a job in the middle east and with your tips, I'm going to be able to pack EVERYTHING I NEED AND WANT in the luggage I'm being alloted~2 checked bags and a carry on :-)
Hey Austin, this video was SOOOO Helpful! Thank you for posting it! I am preparing to travel Internationally. I started to freak out about all I needed to pack and was about to use a LARGER suitcase, until I saw your video. I tried it and it worked! It REALLY Worked Well! I still have to check in a luggage but at least it is the middle size luggage I wanted rather than the HUGE one. By the time I was done packing I was in AWE!! I actually had room left and contemplated adding more clothes :) But I resisted the temptation. Thanks again! HUGE Help!
Thanks so much, Austin ! Your video just simplified and explained what another youtube video did in a cartoon format ( from Heathrow airport) and it was also a great idea to do the mini bundles...We do something similar,but this video needs to be seen by anyone going on any trip, anywhere. I plan to pack tomorrow ! What a big help...p.s. if you ever get a chance, you could be on " Big Bang" theory..have you ever seen Jim Parson's fold a t shirt ( Dr. Sheldon Cooper)...I learned a lot. Thanks for posting.
its the best video ive ever seen... i didnt know about this way of packing and i learned with two videos but they explained it badly and the method and pack wasnt as exact as yours... also you seem very nice and i like the homemade video aspect, in a university class🎉❤😊
Brilliant, how much you were able to fit in there and so neat. But no shoe bags? I would think that they might get dirty and mess up the suitcase and transfer odors, even new shoes have a smell. 👍 Thank you for the demo.
This is not actually bundle wrapping, but a related method called "interfolding". Though the latter has some of the benefits of bundle wrapping, it does not do nearly as good a job when it comes to keeping clothing wrinkle-free. You can learn about actual bundle wrapping at OneBag.com.
David Park Exactly. Eliminating the core presents two problems, (1) extraneous folds are introduced, and (2) the lack of a tensioning mechanism creates wrinkles.
Forgot to mention that unfortunately where we come from bags are often opened and things remove and stolen! It would seem that with this method it would be a lot more difficult to access, although we always bubble wrap our luggage to prevent belongs being stolen and since we have done this we have arrived with everything we packed still in the case!
When I pack like this, I do it inside the suitcase by just laying out the clothes on the bottom of one side of the suitcase. When I fold it up, there is so much space left on the sides for shoes or other clothes. Then the entire other side of the suitcase is still empty.
Good idea but it will be difficult to manage if you need your stuff in bits and pieces. Good if you're directly going to a place, unpacking in a closet and using your stuff.
Can you do this with a bigger checked bag? Does it work the same way? I came to London, been here over 2 months and did more clothes shopping than I'd like to admit. Although I won't take back most of the clothes I came with, I still have a lot to take back home. Please help. Thank you!
Bundle wraping is great for going home but on the way out it totally sucks unless you are going to one place and totally unpacking. How else do you get the button down shirt you want when it's wrapped in a interlocking pile? You don't! I like to get at what ever I want quickly.
Agreed 9 pairs of pants is overkill. I would usually bring Max 3 pairs or even just 2. One pair of jeans and one smart pair. Shirts, underwear and socks are more important to have more off
You'll get more socks in your shoes if you roll them up. And you'll keep your clothes cleaner if you put your shoes in a plastic bag. If you're worried about wrinkles, turn your clothes inside out!

After many videos, I bumped into yours. For some reason, you seem to be the only one to explain this technique in a way that I prefer. Thank you.

This will not only protect it against any possible water leakage from the outside but reduce wrinkles and make it much easier to extract the bundle from the case and get to the items on the bottom of the suitcase (shoes, underwear, toiletries kit).
😅
I almost can't believe what you fit in there!! I have watched a lot of these videos and yours is the best! Great job - thank you 😃
I cannot believe how much you were able to fit into that suitcase. And you didn't even have to struggle to zip the suitcase closed!

exactly! always a women and they only show how to fold up thongs and bras.
YUKARI LEWELLEN... and girls waste time with smalltalk.
amazing, simple and mind blowing! thanks for sharing, I shall have this in mind for my next business trip
thank you so much, I got it done on the first try to. I am a 64year-old plus size woman and I packed 5 pairs of jeans 3 bulky sweaters, 5 long sleeve pull over blouses a pair of sneakers 7 pairs of socks my underwear and lol I forget my pajamas but I'm sure they will fit.
It would have been so satisfying to watch you to throw the bundle in anger when it didn't fit in the end.
Thanks for making the time to do this video. Found it very useful!
This was amazing! I just packed for an 8 day trip for both me and my husband (including formalwear) in one suitcase!! I'll never pack another way again. Thanks!
Great tips! Will definitely try them out on my next trip.
Very usefull, but you must put each shoe into a plastic bag first...
One of the best packing videos out there. Thanks
Thanks Sir We love your video.any Airport tips how to travel and save money

Worked a treat, thank you.
The best I ever seen Thank you so much it's my first time travelling this by far was the best and I try it once
This was awesome, managed to have best organized suitcase yet!
You are great packing, thanks for the tips. I need you to pack my bags !!
Thanku this was very helpful. We live in South Africa and we will be visiting our son and family for 3 months!
Going on a ten day school Greece and Italy trip next year. Excited to try this method out.
Best method I've seen yet works gr8!!! Thanks for the handy tip :-D
Thanks for this smart packing
This is awesome, thank you so much!
Simply brilliant video. It took an engineer to prove this. What is everyone else thinking? Also, clothes are less wrinkled.👍

This was very helpful. Thank you.
Thank You for this!
you're talking about not wrinkling up your shirts when you definitely created new creases @5:41
True
Best method I've seen yet works gr8
Great video!! Now I’m ready to pack!!
ill try this man,thanks for the tutorial
This does work!!!!! Thank you !
I use this method now and recommend it to all my friends. You can fit so much in your bag and it's wrinkle free when you get to your destination.
You were very clear, thank you!
Great video
Excellent. Thank you so much ...
nicely done, thank you.
It works perfectly! thanks!
its the best video ive ever seen... i didnt know about this way of packing and i learned with two videos but they explained it badly and the method and pack wasnt as exact as yours... also you seem very nice and i like the homemade video aspect, in a university class🎉❤😊
Thank you excellent video...really helpful
Thanks for sharing your ideas. I'm packing now!
Ever been through Customs in Fredonia? This would be a disaster. Still a beautiful job for a civilized world.
Brilliant that's too informative Ty.
Very instructive!

Good stuff, but I knew his method was a little different, Doug. "Where's the center of the bundle?" Thanks for adding your expertise. Love your site.
David Park Exactly. Eliminating the core presents two problems, (1) extraneous folds are introduced, and (2) the lack of a tensioning mechanism creates wrinkles.
awesome! i'd also put the bundle in a space bag and compress it. Thank you very much for the bundling idea!!!
good vid! and smart tips !
Forgot to mention that unfortunately where we come from bags are often opened and things remove and stolen! It would seem that with this method it would be a lot more difficult to access, although we always bubble wrap our luggage to prevent belongs being stolen and since we have done this we have arrived with everything we packed still in the case!
amazing
I wish you could come sort out my closet.
Did you compare it to packing cubes ?
Who travels with 8 pairs of pants???
Depends on how long your gone and what you will be doing while your there
wash your clothes
Tell me about it. I don't think I wear 8 different pairs of pants over the course of several months living at home.
rikilii me
Thank you.
Thanks a lot for the tips ^_^
Genius!

thanks alot god bless
Nice 👍🏼 video ...thanks
Good idea but it will be difficult to manage if you need your stuff in bits and pieces.
Good if you're directly going to a place, unpacking in a closet and using your stuff.
Thanks for the video. I am pretty sure I don't want my fresh underwear inside my stinky shoes.........
put it in a plastic
Slaq DaCruzer bbv
I wonder how much space it can saved compared to rolling technique?
how much did it cost you to travel in france, like averrage cost/hapiness expenses
Can you do this with a bigger checked bag? Does it work the same way? I came to London, been here over 2 months and did more clothes shopping than I'd like to admit. Although I won't take back most of the clothes I came with, I still have a lot to take back home. Please help. Thank you!
NICE. PERFECT.👍
Did you put the shoes in without a cover/bag???
wonderfull video 😍😍😍
plz can you tell me what is the type and dimensions of this bag ?
Thank you for sharing. I will definitely try this. :-)
thanks indeed

What about dirty laundry when you wear the clothes?
Thanks sir
That's a lot of pants, just for a week trip.
I usually just bring 2 - one I wear on that day, and one spare just in case...
Agreed 9 pairs of pants is overkill. I would usually bring Max 3 pairs or even just 2. One pair of jeans and one smart pair. Shirts, underwear and socks are more important to have more off
Thanks so much! Going on a 7 day cruise and got everything I will need in a carry on size and not even packed tight.
You'll get more socks in your shoes if you roll them up.
And you'll keep your clothes cleaner if you put your shoes in a plastic bag.
If you're worried about wrinkles, turn your clothes inside out!
How deep / high is the suit-case in cm without expansion ?! 😸
Thank you for your service (I have my own spit kit too lol)
Why fold seam to seam to keep the crease in the pant leg
bravo
this is great but what about the weight by the airlines that we have to watch , I am worried that you could go over
Hi can you please tell me what size is the carryon. Thank you.
How much does your luggage weighs after packing it? Will it be less than 22 pounds (10 kilos)?
comparing this with the rolling method which one is better?
Well rolling can make you have more clothes but with this one, I think it helps make sure you don't over pack
Sassygamergal thank you:)
james fok your welcome
I presume american airlines don't have a 7kg weight restriction for cabin baggage?
Is this way of packing pants more efficient than rolling the pants?
How many times a day are you planning on changing your trousers? Damn.
How many pounds you can take carry on with you on the plan not loads in?
9 pair of pants? this guy is rich
waste of space; not even going to use half of it... and talk about dirty clothing now that it had touch the dirty luggage. yuck :P
and dirty shoes without shoe covers extra yuck
An RN Use shower caps to cover shoes. Only need 2 pairs of shoes, the other you'll be wearing.
