🧳 Packing

Update lists while traveling

Pack one week's worth of clothes and do laundry weekly

Do laundry before flying
Pack dirty clothes differently to tell them apart, e.g. Folding vs. rolling clothes
If traveling locally you can carry dirty clothes in a laundry bag
Laundry day strategies
- Wear any unworn pants/shorts and shirts from the week, E.g. Jeans normally need an occassional wash
- Do a second wash for the clothes you're wearing during laundry day
- Buy 2 extra pairs of clothes to switch off wearing each week while the other is in the wash
No drying machine
- Use washer's dry spin cycle if available
- Use hangers to air dry clothes
No washing machine
- Wash clothes in the shower
- Use natural shampoo|body wash
- Scrub with your hands
- See Washing clothes in the shower from r/onebag

- See How to Fold and Pack a Suit The Right Way by GQ on YouTube
Tie a winter jacket around the long handle of a roller suitcase while walking

Ask for a plastic bag to take items out of your bag if it is too big for the overhead bin

Pack snacks for the day of travel and the day of arrival

Safety razor: Keep in the outside pocket of the carry-on to show to security.
Scissors (Less than 4 in from the pivot point) for United States TSA standards

Test overpacking to see how much you can bring back, E.g. How many additional t-shirts can you pack?
Test what you can take out and wear if needed

Keep items as close together as possible when unpacking to make it easier to repack when traveling
Gather items first before packing to reduce the distraction of going back and forth
