How to Pack for a Month in a Carry On!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- We all want to have everything with us when we travel but the idea of trying to pack it all and lug a lot of luggage around is daunting. 
I have been to 21 countries and have stayed for over a month in some of the places. I realized that many times the things that I use to pack were either not used or we’re not useful. 
In this video I’m going to go over how I am able to pack everything I need in a carry-on for a stay that is over a month long. 
Some of this has to do with a packing protocol and some of this have to do with certain things that I packed it make my life a lot easier while I’m traveling.

Very compact bag, well done. For a month away I do the Rule of 3 for my small carry on - 3 tops, bottoms, underwear, thermals, socks. 2 shoes - one on plane, other in bag. Small makeup bag, small electronics bag. Bulky items worn on plane. Over the shoulder bag contains iPad, phone, passport, TSA clear bag, spare undies, hairbrush. This has worked with my overseas trips for 2 decades. It’s great to see how others travel. 🧳
Yes! And all clothing must be worn 2-3 ways layered over, under or alone! Love how you think! I have spent 6 weeks away like that in India and Asia!
Same here, but I add one more piece for a total of ten. I always add a vest of some kind for variety. I always so zippered hidden pockets in jackets and vest linings. It's an easy hack if you open the lining from the side seam, then sew a welt, attach pocket and zipper. If one doesn't sew, a tailor can easily add them for you. I literally wear my cash.
P.S, love your idea about wearing a tank top as a vest, I will do the same now. Thank you for the idea.
Thank God I came across this video of yours. I've watched so many on that topic, but yours is the best so far. It's a shame that it only has so many views.
Thank you so much! I am so happy that you found my channel and got some great hacks for your next travel adventure! Would love your feedback on the other travel videos I have!
I only use a travel carry on. One of my biggest fears is the airline losing my luggage. So I stopped checking luggage for that reason. I’ll even use with a super cute under the seat travel pro suit case. I’ve learned to reuse my clothes. I’m always looking for a tiny crossbody bag to use fits in the suitcase. I love the tips you share plus wear lots of clothes on plane. ❤
We are cut from the same cloth! I wear a lot of clothes on the plane because I mix and match them with what’s in my carry-on luggage. And I don’t mind washing things as I go because it’s much easier to keep track of your pieces of clothing.🙏😊❤️ thank you so much for sharing that with us!!
You are my new favorite travel packing RUclipsr! Thank you. It is SO challenging to find video content showing how clothes are worn as outfits (for ideas for myself!) and more in my dressing style, too. 😊❤️🧳💺✈️☀️👍🏻💯
Thank you! I truly appreciate your feedback because it lets me know what I content I should continue making! I’m definitely not a model or a fashion person and most of my travel wardrobe is based on what will work multiple ways, and not necessarily on looking fashionable all the time, which is how you can learn to pack simply. I’m really happy that this content style is working out for you.😊💕
Thank you for sending me to this video! I watched this weeks ago and ordered several items that you mentioned, and have them ready to go for my month-long trip. Fantastic suggestions! Thanks again.
Thank you, Gwen! I’m so glad you found the video and were able to get some useful things for your trip! Truly appreciate you using the links to help support my channel! I look forward to bringing you more videos like this and to your feedback as well! I hope you have a wonderful trip!🥰
@@TheoryofSimple thanks! This is a medical tourism trip, my first, so it’s interesting from the start. I’m a little nervous, but after lots of research, excited to combine a surgery that I need with a bit of nip tuck. Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone! Wink wink 😝😆😂
@@GwenMotoGirl your Secret is safe with me! Hope you have a fantastic trip and everything turns out exactly as you hope!😉
Oh my god your stuffs are gems! Definitely inspired. Thank you
Thank you! So happy you watched and got inspired! It makes me happy to help others this way! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
You create the most useful travel videos! Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant ideas!!!
Thank you, Diane! Traveling can be stressful and I like to help people make traveling a better experience especially now when things are so much more complicated. Hope you got something useful out of this for your travels! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
I don't usually comments on travel vlogs, but you impressed me a lot. You have a complete array of necessities needed in traveling, i like your folding hangers n folding cup etc. Wish i can have some too. But i dont travel international , I cant afford it. Only domestic. Thanks for sharing your travel must haves, i enjoyed it. God bless keep safe.
Thank you, Grace. My work had me traveling internationally quite a bit. I am so happy you enjoyed this video! Thank you for watching and commenting! My best to you as well!
This was a great video, I watched it twice. Subscribe x
💕😊 you just brought the biggest smile to my face and thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Truly appreciate your feedback and love making these videos for you! 💕😊
Incredible.. wow i travel for months at a time and i will be using some of these tips .
Thank you! So happy this video is helpful for Your next trip!😊
A couple of my travel fav’s; Narrow clear, hard plastic “pencil holders” that open on both sides are great for jewelry. My Conair butane Curling iron is awesome and perfectly fine to fly with- light weight, long lasting and excellent for camping as well.
Hi Yvonne! Great tips! Do you know how hot the curling iron gets and how long can you go on 1 cartridge? Thanks! Eunice
Best travel packing video I've ever seen!
Thank you! I travel a lot for work and have found that carrying a few of these things makes all the difference for a good trip! Happy travels!
Another great one! So much to talk about but I'll keep it short. Rather than folding cutlery I just use the titanium utensils from Toaks, which fit really nicely with a titanium straw, and some break down chopsticks in a Light My Fire Merino wool utensil holder. It packs quite thin that way and slips in anywhere. For a light I have several BioLite sunlight solar powered lights. I always have one with me and they charge via USB. They work amazing, and for flashlights its hard to beat the tiny tiny Rovyvon Aurora.. I keep them all over and they are incredibly bright and they will clip to the brim of a ball cap as a nightlight - I use them daily. I am sure to adopt some of your other suggestions. Thanks for the great video... have a terrific weekend!
Brandon, we are definitely cut from the same stone! I always love your feedback and I hope others that watch my channel will read and get some great feedback from you! I have several lights that I bring during my camping and or traveling all the time and I don’t know if it’s just something with me wanting to have light all the time but I always have several different lights with me. All of them can be charged by USB and some by solar. This will give me a couple of options depending on what my itinerary is for my trip. What a thank you again for watching and commenting and as always I look forward to your comments and feedback!!🥰
@@TheoryofSimple Thanks so much Eunice, your words are very kind! Having multiple lights is so handy! There was an occasion where we had visitors with us and had a 40 minute hike down to this beach here in Oregon, and left a bit late as we unexpectedly stayed for the sunset. The darkness crept in fast. The trail was narrow and steep, and fortunately since we had visitors I packed an extra couple small flashlights in addition to my headlamp and Surefire. It's a good thing! Believe it or not on the way back up the hillside it seemed there was a large cat (I presumed by the sound-perhaps a couger) stalking us on the way back up the cliff side. We could hear hear it in the brush of the hillside for a good distance. A little creepy... but I am sure the flashing of 1000 lumens in its direction helped as we made it back safely. There is something to be said for high powered flashlights to disorient predators.
@@Brandon-0028 wow! That is crazy! I pack a headlamp with me on every trip because I always wanna make sure I have a light and have my hands free so again we are cut from the same cloth!!
@@TheoryofSimple No doubt Eunice I agree! I do pack a headlamp as well in my everyday bag. What I love about the Rovyvon Aurora's is that they just disappear in your pocket, and they are always easily accessible when you need them. Oddly enough I use mine several times a day, and max output is like 600 lumens when you need the power and it has a side UV light, which is great for hotel rooms (if you really want to know if its clean).
OMG…that looks like my bed! It is on bunkie boards. There are strange air vents in the floor and having a bed up with a frame would interfere with air flow from the air conditioner and heater.
Oh, you would have to buy some of those directional vent covers! That way you could push the air out from under the bed💕😊
Great video. I’ve been following your brother for a few years on his PW videos 🙌. He recommended your channel. I’m new to your channel and I love these ideas. I’ve got those Prana trousers also and I love wearing them. Thank you for the idea of shirt and vest.
Hi Sadie! Thank you so much for watching both of our channels! 🥰 oh how I wish Prana would make those pants again! They’re the best! Looking forward to your feedback on my other videos! Welcome to Theory of Simple!😍
This is every travel hack, amazing!
Thank you! I’m working on another video which shows how I can have a weeks worth of clothing electronics and toiletries and video equipment in a bag that fits under the seat on the plane!
You did not mention the brand of the bags you were using. It would be helpful to know the brand. Thank you for such a thorough well presented video!
Hi Dorcas, it’s the Samsonite underseater and can be found here amzn.to/3zBJOO6 So happy you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and commenting and happy travels!
Love those ideas! I am trying to downsize my items to carry on only for a 10 day vacation next year. Cold and warm climates. Thank you for this video.
You are very welcome, Michelle! I’m happy these hacks are useful! I’m always tweaking my packing and packing for multiple climates is a challenge! Have a great trip!
@@TheoryofSimple I had to Watch this Video too, You have Such Great ideas, WOW. Just what I needed to Watch, I am a terrible packer, So this video gave me Some Great ideas!!!
@@TheoryofSimple; I love all the details that You think of, but my favorite part is when You Show us and gives us examples on how you use it.
@@12567NoYouCannot happy you found that one too! I am always revising how I pack so if something changes, I will post a new video!
@@TheoryofSimple Great! I will look forward to it.
Going to Ireland, I need your vest and the pants you wear on the plane! Thanks :)
Hi there! I am not sure either of these items is still available but I have similar items on my Amazon Storefront. You can find my storefront here:
www.amazon.com/shop/theoryofsimple
I hope you can find something similar for your trip! Ireland sounds like an amazing place and it is on my bucket list! Thank you for watching and commenting and have a great trip!
Check out the ScottVest or Ex-Officio brand travel vests. I have both and love them. The ScottVest is good for cooler weather. The ExOfficio is lighter. Each have 11 pockets. Go up a size up to accommodate filling the pockets. You simply take off the vest,, put it in a bin at TSA and put it back on on the other side. Very simple! Most of time a day bag wasn't needed.. I just wore a cross body water tote. I wore these in my travels to 9 countries. The vest and a scarf just works. Safe and joyful travels!
@@dorcasowens1210 i have the ExOfficio vest. I find it heavy and hot when load the pockets. It’s also not comfortable to sit in on the plane. I do wear it if i need to be hands free doing things. Have you tried their underwear? Just wondering if they str comfortable. Thank you for the feedback!
Love your videos! Great advice, info and tips. I can’t seem to find the link for that adjustable over the door hook. Will you please share the link?
Thank you so much and I’m so glad you’re getting some great hacks from my videos. You’re not finding the link for that because they don’t make it anymore.😟☹️ but I do have a video where I show that I bring a command hook with me now and what I like about that is I don’t have to worry about if it fits over the door so if you look through my videos under shorts. There is a video showing you how are use painters, tape, and a command hook when I travel now😂💕😊
@@TheoryofSimple Thank you!
We always learn so much from you. I could not find the link for the suitcase that goes in the overhead compartment. ❤
And this particular video I do not have a link for the carry-on luggage. I currently use a different piece of carry-on luggage and pack a little bit differently now and you can find that in my carry-on video here. ruclips.net/video/Q6-oQr5aI-g/видео.html
Your travel outfit looks great. Would you be able to list links for them, especially the vest?
Thank you so much! Unfortunately, those items are much older and I don’t have links to them. If you look on my Amazon storefront under travel wardrobe, I have a link to something similar to that vest that I have on💕😊
Thank you.
@@averythompson5838 you are welcome!
You can always carry a bulky sweater onto the plane outside of your carry on
Love these great ideas!!! I will try and downsize this next trip! Thank You.
You are welcome! Happy these tips help! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Wow so nice! I also am using a carry on bag for long trip travel! I am using a Nomad Lane Bento bag, A duffel bag that packs like a suitcase and fits under the seat. It also has a lot of compartments inside that can accommodate your things.
Haven’t heard of that bag. Will have to check it out! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you!!
You are welcome 💕😊
Well done. I learned about some new things. Thank you!
You are welcome! I have another video coming out soon with my favorite travel hacks! Thank you for watching and commenting! Happy travels!
RVP I always carry on my waist a so called a rat tail comb towards my Right hip covered by a vest or cover up.
@@JohnPolchin-bj4sn plus the end of that comb makes a really really good weapon😊
Your suitcase looks amazing and well packed your carry on is so cool
Thank you!
@@TheoryofSimple I miss traveling so much
@@james22939 hope you get back to traveling soon.
@@TheoryofSimple I love packing so much
Could you please give a link for your stretch button-down shirt? It looks perfect!
Hi Chris, that shirt is by Chicos but it is older so they don’t carry it any longer.
@@TheoryofSimple aww well thanks for the quick answer!
Such a good and informative video!! Thankyou!
Thank you! I am happy you enjoyed it and I hope to make more!
Fantastic video! Great ideas!
Thank you! I’m always trying new ones so I will update as I find new ideas! Happy travels!
Great ideas!
Thank you!
Great video!!!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! I hope some of these hacks help you when you travel! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Excellent video! Not sure how to see product link wont open for me😮. I wanted info on the collapsable night light you showed in this video, will come in handy on my next trip? Thanks again!
Thank you for catching that mistake! 💕🙏I put a link in the video description. Let me know if that works! 🙏💕
I'm not able to open up the video description for some reason.
Could you please send link, would be easier, I think?
Thank you!
Found it, it took me awhile but I have the link now!!😊
@@soniaceratti unfortunately, RUclips no longer allows us to paste links into comments. If you visit me over on Instagram and send me a message, I’ll get you a link.. and in order to open up the video description, you have to be on a phone phone or a computer it does not work from a television just in case that’s how you were viewing💕😊
@@soniaceratti great! I just sent you a message with a reply from your previous comment. So disregard.💕😊
Very impressive 😊💖💖💖Thanks!
Thank you so much! I am always trying new ways to get more in my carry-ons! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Impressive!
Thank you!
Ok I’m impressed. How did you get all those packing cubes to fit. Normally after the first two I can’t get anymore in the suitcase.
The first thing is, I don’t use compression cubes. Although I think compression cubes have their place, I use packing cubes that have a mesh front. This allows me too:
1. See which clothes are in the cubes without having to open them
2. Allow the clothes to be compressed on their own and move in directions inside the cube. With compression cubes your clothes are compressed but they don’t allow them to move at all and change shape.
3. I also do not stack them with the same size on top of each other rather I try to make things fit like a puzzle piece within the suitcase and then fit all of my smaller things in the crevices and the sides.
Technically, you could get more things in your suitcase without the use of cubes but things then do not stay as organized. I also keep my clothes in the packing cubes when they’re in the suitcase at my destinations unless they have to be hung up. For example m, all of my socks, underwear, bras, tank tops, T-shirts and shorts will stay in their packing cubes. This allows my suitcase to act as a mini wardrobe.
Hi what brand is the black travel shirt, it is lovely
It’s by Chico’s. It is older so not sure if they sill have it. It’s part of their Travelers Collection. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@TheoryofSimple where would we find the black stretch shirt? Thank you.
@@jeansutherland7955 it is an older shirt by Chicos. They no longer carry it.
Can you link your foldable leather valet and foldable fan please? ❤
Hi there! I put a link for the leather valet and the pop-up van in the video description. Thank you so much for catching that.!💕😊
Could you let me know where to find the 3 in 1 charger, hero clips, fan, and gaiter headband? Thanks =)
Hi Teresa, if you look in the video description, there should be links to everything in the video. If there’s something you can’t find, please let me know and I’ll be happy to get you the link.❤️🙏😊
I carry a around ur neck usb battery powered personal fan. It's great on a hot day.
Hi Samantha! I have one of those two and I sometimes carry it depending on what else I have in my personal bag what I love about it is I can also fold it and set it on a table so a lot of times in my longer travels I will bring it with me to keep a little fan by my bedside as well! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and happy travels!
Can you give information on those pocketed pants with zippers to make capris?
Hi Brenda, those travel pants are by Prana.. I am not sure they make the exact style any longer but you can find something similar on my Amazon storefront. You can find my storefront here:
www.amazon.com/shop/theoryofsimple
If they ever make these again I’m gonna get them in other colors. Thank you so much for watching and commenting and happy travels!
What brand is your lens kit for your iPhone?
You can find a link for that lens kit in the video description right underneath the befree water bottle link💕😊
Can I ask where you found the best in this video please?
The best in this video is currently no longer being made. However, if you head over to my channel and click on the community tab, you will see a picture with me in a purple vest.. this is my newest favorite travel vest because it has some stretch, a variety of colors, and is about half the price of the vest in this video💕😊
I know this video is old but is the black shirt you’re wearing linked? I can’t seem to find it
It might be linked in the video description. If it’s not in the video description, then I probably don’t have a link for it.😊
Do u travel for work?
Hi Kay, yes sometimes I travel for work. As a matter fact in my previous job that’s what I did all the time was travel overseas for work quite frequently. That’s where I honed my packing skills. Lots of trial and error and pain points that got me to change the way I pack!
Portugueses 🇵🇹subtitles please
I’ll try to put some of my subtitles in another language next time! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
