Yes! I've been looking forward to 'packing hacks' and 'tips and tricks' video from someone like yourself and Suzanne, who can be described as 'professional travelers'!

I pick up about 20 packs of crayons, note pads and hot wheels and hand them out to kids in developing countries. $60 for me isn’t much but the smile on a kids face is priceless.

I used to work all over Africa - I always travelled with duct tape and gaffer's tape (no residue). But no need to travel with the entire roll. Just wrap 5-8' around a pen. It'll keep it easy to use, and you now have two pens (one for each type of tape) easy to find in your bag.

Thanks for the fun video - enjoyed seeing the choices y'all made!

(2:15) Tip: if you are buying an outlet extender, please make sure it is UL Certified to ensure it doesn't damage your electronics.

Love the idea about shower caps for shoes. Packing tip…. Yes please

[alexkokkola]

I love love the Dollar Tree. One of the tips I would add is, (if your traveling domestically) Dollar Tree is also a great store to visit when you arrive. Things like liquids can be saved for when you get there.

Hey Flight Attendant here and I can tell you that I have at least 10 of these items, that 3 outlet plug has very often been a friggin life saver!!!!

[cinnarose]

That is the cleanest, most organized Dollar Tree I've ever seen. The ones in Chicago are messy.

Hi Jeb and Susanne ! I like using chip clips to keep hotel drapes and curtains closed. They of course keep snack bags sealed during trips as well. Safe travels to you both.

[sdsd]

Wtf... Suzanne's suggestion of using a pill organizer for jewelry blew my mind 🤯 Amazing idea!

[rosalynreed]

Jeb, yes! Most expert travel tips work well in the EDC life - having small zip bags, first aid kits, in your daily carry bag.

I see a travel video mini-series: dollar store travel finds; best bags (checked luggage, carry on, daypacks, backpacks); travel snacks; personal safety when traveling; etc.

Thank you and Suzanne for your knowledge and expertise!

First - you have a really nice Dollar Store. The one near us is woefully under stocked. Second - I do most of these - always travel with ziploc bags - they are the duct tape of travel. Always buy my toothpaste and shaving cream at the Dollar Store - the 2.7 ounce size is ideal. I have a blue ribbon on my bag, a cough drop/life saver combo bag in my briefcase, and buy snacks. Hadn't thought of the dryer sheets - good idea there. Thanks!

Love this! Your enthusiasm is infectious and a main reason I love your videos. It may sound weird, but your videos got me through a lot of hard times. Your high energy and positivity truly does impact, thank you guys for your videos!

[CaroleDowney]

This is usually our first stop getting off the plane. Soft soap, toothpaste, clips, hair stuff, sanitizer. Foil, plastic bags, glad ware type plastic containers, sodas, water. Then you don’t have to cram in your carry on. Suzanne’s purchases are mine too!

[jugatsunichi]

Great editing on this video!! Absolutely loved it! Love watching the cam flashes from the $ store to your actual life application in the airport, hotel, etc! Loved this video!

[jaredharris]

I get all my travel size toiletries items from the dollar store I’ve been doing it for years

[stevemercure]

I'd enjoy your packing hack video. Several years ago I had a job which required frequent airline flights. A couple of flight attndants passed on a hack or two. I'm always looking to learn more!
In the snack purchasing don't forget to add chewing gum. If you are ever on a flight and can not get your ears to pop due to colds or any other reason, a piece of gum can lead to big relief.

[kayleebeare]

Suzanne, the pill organizer and shower caps were GENIUS. Thank yall!!!! I recognize my home airport, Atlanta. Have a great train adventure home!

[insainllama]

I love dollar tree, but I’ll say that was probably the cleanest and most organized dollar tree I’ve seen.

[jamesfrommanitoba.]

Jeb & Suzanne I wish I could truly express how I feel about you two.
My wife and I travelled frequently until I got extremely ill. But as upset as I feel somedays knowing I will never get to these places you are taking us with you and sharing your love for travel and food.
Bless you two and thank you so much for making my day and being able to share your travels with my wife.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
