Holiday packing tips

Any advance on “save space by packing your teabags in your travel kettle?”

Putting socks in shoes is always a classic.

Go somewhere that already has a kettle

just generally putting stuff in other stuff is a good rule.

The trick is to operate under maximum pressure. For example, if you’re getting a lift to the airport, don’t start packing until you’re pretty sure that there’s at most 15 minutes until pick-up.

pack in a rush in the last 2 hours before you need to leave, good way to focus your mind and forget all the inessential stuff you don’t really need

EDIT: FUCK

Well I started with the first!

And then realised they were all just as bad.

I think people should stop promoting solutions that involve 35mm film canisters now.

I think the hard suitcases one is probably a good shout. I mean I’ve got hard suitcases and I’m unlikely to replace them anytime soon but it’s a fair point - they are shit.

I don’t understand why you’d rather have to do laundry during a holiday than just take more underwear. What a way to spend your time, scrubbing pants in a tiny sink.

Just stamp on them in the shower every day. Works fine.
