Easy Packing Method (8 Steps)

New Packing Method: When you travel next, here is an easy method to pack your essentials. I call it the Ground Up #packing Method. This packing method has 8 steps that are easy for overpackers, last minute packers, or if you are a minimalist. So check the weather for your travel destination; then use these 8 steps to help you pack. For this packing method I fold clothes because I timed it and it is faster than the rolling method. But if I do not pack in a cube, the clothes go flat inside my carry-on. Now I start at the ground up. #travel #traveltips #packingtips #packingmethod

Ooooh, I like this method too. I did learn one thing that kind of goes along with this ground up method. No matter how you pack, zip the suitcase up, then stand it up on the ground. Pounce it up and down numerous times.This makes everything inside "settle" to the bottom. If you slightly unzip the bag, there's enough room to stash yet another pair of shoes, a bundle of more clothes, or even another skinny pouch at the top. I got this tip after watching Rachel Grant demonstrate this on a Rachael Ray segment. Genius!! Safe travels all, and be well.

I've packed this way for years because with the heaviest stuff at the "ground", the rest of my stuff doesn't get squished as I'm walking around with the suitcase. I can personally attest this packing method really works well.

Laurie My husband and I traveled to Cancún last week and thanks to your TSA tips video we went through the check up at the airport quickly. Thanks Love your videos.

We are all excited to travel again, hence so many helpful comments! I’d like to see a real time “pack to go home” video. Sometimes my system deteriorates after many days of living out of a suitcase. A one stop destination is easy, but multiple nights is trickier. My helpful hint is too write a note about the improvements and forgotten items you think of whilst traveling. Put them in your makeup case to easily reference when unpacking or packing for the next trip.

This is how I like to pack!!!, from the ground up. Not many would understand what I was saying. You do!!! Love 💗 it!

I remember as a kid pilots use to announce when we were flying over points of interest (that we could see) obviously. Like to our left there’s Mt Saint Helen’s. Why don’t they do that anymore?? It made the flight interesting and educational.

[TheresaWagar]

Beautiful! This is exactly how we packed for our 15 day cruises. It definitely works! Took me a few tries to figure out to put the heaviest things closest to the wheels. Thanks for the confirmation!!

We love the new hair do!
And I love the ground up idea!
Now you got an excuse to get those newest packing cubes lol

We are going on a 4 day trip to Las Vegas for 2 people and can't wait to try your suggestions for packing.

My luggage actually has removable "shelves" to pack upright. Thanks for another great video!

[susanwolfla]

thanks for another great video! Can't wait to travel again, and still stinging from missing three (!) trips from this summer. I had bought a new personal item bag in anticipation, and it's still waiting!!

[donnajohansson]

Thanks Laurie. I can’t wait to be able to go on a trip again!

On my 10 day trip, I packed 5 outfits and a pair of flip flops and dressier sandals in my carry on. Of course my husband and I both backpacks as a personal item, with my purse stashed inside mine. I put meds and any other personal item we needed in his. After the 5th day we did laundry onsite where we stayed. So we had 5 more days of clean clothes. I realize no one wants to do laundry while on vacation but when it's hot outside I'm definitely not wearing clothes 2 days. And it also saves time plus money at check in.

Love this video, have always been a great packer, but love new ideas!!

[emmabenuska]

Excellent upbeat video and practical, too!

[debraladams]

I'm a packing cube kinda-girl ... not changing now! Squish and zip is how I pack to the max! Looking forward to more videos. Have fun in Margaritaville!

I have been packing this way for years as well, except I put the shoes on the sides with the soles pointed to the the suitcase walls. The clothes snuggle between the shoes. Packed for a 11 day cruise to Alaska using this method and it all fit just fine.

I'm going to Florida in October on a small group trip. Something to look forward to, Can't wait.

I always fold & pack my clothes the KonMari method. It’s worked well for me. It’s just a fuss packing as a plus size gal to begin with! 😁
