It’s quite surprising to me that people do know how to pack a bag just at was done in the video. Some consider me an “over packer” but I like options. But trust I can get everything in a suitcase.
It's 2am and I'm watching this because of the YouTube recommendation algorithm
I didn’t know I qualify to be a platinum level butler packer too
…most of us do it this way only, no? 🤔
Omg that’s JSP.
What a waste of time watching this video was. Anyone with half a brain could pack that amount of stuff in a case that size. She didn't even pack much 🙄
okay but where's the pants
Me: Clicked excitingly
After watching: But, this much I already know!
This is first time in my life I'm unliking a video. What a disappointment! WSJ had good stuff 🙁
How to pack your Barong (Traditional Filipino Wear for Men)?
WSJ paper why not the paper with jokes section.
I need her to explain packing two checked luggage for a move abroad. lol
No pajamas? Workout clothes? Makeup? Hair tools? Laptop? A ton of other chargers and adaptors? This is overly simplistic and just unrealistic for most of us… (especially women)
Roll shirts and pants. Socks crammed in the shoes. Underwear, undershirts, and exercise clothes between the roller bars in the bottom of the suitcase. And then the biggest tip, when you get to the hotel, hang the wrinkled clothes in the bathroom and run the shower on hot to steam out the winkles. Use the suitcase buckles and compression straps if it has them to take pressure off the zipper so it lasts longer. And don't roll the suitcase outdoors (concrete and asphalt) if you want the wheels to last.
Lets just all agree that this is a bad video and completely irelevant to anyone watching.
Not really an expert, an expert would know to use seperate bags for each shoe …
Of course the German knows how to order Things 😂
1 pair of pants… literally i can cram 4x the amount of clothes in my carry on and then i have options. like what about pajamas or a hat or camera gear. just a waist imo
Need to put in the title that it is for a BUSINESS trip. Stopped watching 3 seconds in once I heard that. Not what I was looking for.
That’s great, if you want to go without any t-shirts, underwear, brassieres. Just let everything flap around free as you travel!
The tips were okay but the shirt folding tutorial… That's a mad flex
no pajamas i guess ?
This was very enjoyable to watch.
the one thing i knew how to do was open the carryon
I thought I would learn something new
Kudos to the braless woman carrying the bag!
Never pack a suit like that. Always use a garment.
Okay but like I know this
Platinum level packer… I want to become a diamond level cloud watcher..
so shes an expert packer for a weekend got it
Business trip of one day? I guess someone who can afford a butler also stays at hotels where pj’s are provided?
Hold up…. St regis butlers pack your bags for u????
Now try packing for a family of five and a two week trip
But, how do I pack bras?
Where is the pijama!!!
I'd like to add: get compression bag and repeat once more because you could easily pack more onto a carry-on. 🤷♂️
What is a newspaper?
How heavy is the carry on bag? I need to pack light for 7kg only.
That couple goes to work without undies.
That must be a day trip
And enjoy my pegging.
What’s the brand of the luggage
No underwear?
She seems so sweet! Can she be my grandma?
Why are there no place to put Bras and PJs
There are no place for eos 90d camera.
А в "Победе" она этот саквояж все равно в багаж сдала бы.
This is BS.
Now I need a Butlerto help pick up my bag
Can i be her adopted son✌
She obviously doesn't change her underwear often. 😯
Are they packing for 1 day and not to iron?! Pack for efficiency, roll everything up and stop being lazy and use an iron when you arrive. I gaurantee I can pack 5x more clothes in that bag. This video definitely doesn’t explain the most optimized way to pack a carry but most unrealistic way.
I guess sleep in the nude?🤷🏻♀️ I didn’t see any pjs
This is highly unimpressive. There isn't that much going in.
Underwear? Bras take up a lot of room….
As 26 year airline pilot let me add one improvement – once you’ve folded your shirts in this manner unbutton the first button of the shirt so your collars flex instead of smash.
Sleeping naked too. Missing some undies for her. Or is that his dress.
Do I have to wear gloves to do it?
How often does she travel? She obviously has no idea what she is doing.
Omg, I thought it was gonna show hacks on shoving more things in a luggage. This video was useless 🤦
What was that, one outfit? I'm 6'8" tall (big clothes) and can pack for a week in a smaller bag than that!
No pants other than suit pants, No underwear, no bras. No sneakers, jacket, pajamas, sandals…. Is this just a business trip? Very odd. I went to Peru for 7 days with a suitcase this size, three times as much clothing and had plenty of room.
Soooo… No bra, no panties, no hosiery, no comb or brush, no perfume, no makeup, no toothbrush or toothpaste, no pajamas and I guess the lady wears the same dress for the entire stay since she didn't bring anything else to wear?? 🙄🙄
Step step wear gloves 🧤
One single dress?
Narrator is excellent example of how 21st century men talk.
"I hope you enjoyed my pegging"
The way she put the tissue paper just disturbing me so much
Dunno why tho…
Totally inefficient use of space
No laptop?
Why on Earth is this on my recommended at this time of the year.
Simply awesome
Where’s the laptop or tablet?
great, until you have to re pack your toiletries at the airport because you aren't allowed to use your own clear plastic bag that's the exact same size apparently…
I’ve never rolled for a suitcase except for socks to fill gaps and stuff. Maybe PJs if you want. I don’t feel it saves space at all.
I didn't come for the video. I came for the comments. Bcoz thats where the REAL experts will be!!!
This was useful for learning how to fold a suit
That's cheating….!
That bag is doraemon's pocket☹️
What is your email id
What is your email id? bcz I'm running Email Marketing
Should have put socks and underwear inside of shoes and then added a pair of jeans, athletic shorts, and two t shirts or something for when you aren’t working.
What about pajamas and undergarments?
Brilliant. I think the phone charger could fit or other little electric gadgets are better fitted into the meshed pockets in the bag for easy retrieval.
Hello! I love these types of videos! My question is… this person is travelling for a day, right? I would not be able to live in that for a few days. I need more items than that.
Nice clip, though I did not see any electronics, which my carry-on is full of (Phones, tablet, computer, chargers, cables, camera, electric shaver, etc etc). What do I really like in the carry-on packing process , is that Colombian Airport agent (a combination of a TSA agent and a ticketing agent), who dumps everything out of my bag (after me spending hours in packing it correctly), X-ray my stuff, then proceeds to X-ray the empty bag, then throws everything back (of course not in order, and overflowing), then I move to the plane, when another agent greets me with a stern face, and check again my bag when the airplane is waiting. So much for careful packing… I finally board the aircraft when all the seated passengers look at me angrily as if I am a cause of any delay, and I am trying to fit my overflow bag in the overhead completely full bean and try to get in my seat where is a woman sitting and refuses to move. In short, no need to carefully pack and how I love traveling.
This is… underwhelming
Wait… She didn't include pajamas??? Sjdhejkd whatcha gonna wear to sleep???
So these two passengers don’t wear underwear? The butler forget under garments.
Newspaper??????
This is perfect for me, since I always go commando!
Hey, fellow traveler! Your "Pack With Me" video is a breath of fresh air. Your authenticity shines through, and your tips are on point. By the way, have you seen the new v4 Bento Bag from NomadLane? It could be a handy addition to your travel gear lineup!
So no pants??
very good
Sleepware/Pyjamas? Underware? Where's everything?
lol white gloves to pack, OTT lol
Underwear? Bras ?
Medication?
Cosmetics ?
Comment section did not disappoint.
That bag must have a false bottom
Hair ties for rolled socks are very convenient.
Umbrella bags instead of packing cubes are free and convenient for items that can be rolled up.
gracias por este video!! mi amiga lorena necesitaba empacar sus bolsas para un vuelo sin billete de vuelta y le ha sido muy útil ❤❤
