    Totally agree with the loop earplugs..game changers for dorm rooms compared to other earplugs.
    To save space on your washing line, I use “peg less washing lines” where there are twists that you poke your clothes into so that when you’re not using it, it takes up less space in your bag. Also I use the sea to summit clothes washing leaves that take up less space than the sheets too which could be an option.
    With that Ugreen multi plug you have; does it power your laptop enough to be editing on Final Cut Pro whilst using it? I’ve had to bring my duckhead adaptor because the other adapters I had weren’t powerful enough to cope with editing and charging at the same time 🫠

    you can go further with minimizing- you dont wanna squees every time you wanna re-pack and you might buy things like food- so you wanna leave some room for that the point is to make it also easy on yourself also with weight and enjoy carrying only 1 bag- not just for the flight item saving sack but for your comfort- also they can charge you for the weight not just the size.
    and if you buy special things for that packing - are you really saving?
    packing minimally is a form of art you need to be in a more frugal state of mind for also versatile.
    i use shampoo or soap or usually hostel provided also just dish soap and hand wash, a simple string for laundry maybe with light metal clips i pack which i use for other things, i bring very few easy to maintain wash and dry clothing and wash stuf with me in the shower every day or 2 even its simplifying everything. and a thin version of every item as possible and what i dont have to i dont bring- like an eyeliner can be enough for make up for example...
    but i dont film, and its not for everyone and some people dont mind carrying a 35L and its pretty sh**i that they are started charging for that while providing the same flight at the same price...anyway highly recommend to learn this form of art.

Cuz for the most budget airlines like Ryanair, Wizzair, etc. this backpack is too big to be considered as a personal item bag 😞 or you intentionally brought a slightly bigger bag? If so, did you have any problems at the airport? How strict they are with the personal bag measurements?

Whilst packing I kept thinking back on this video and saying to myself "How did she do it?! Sorcery! Whitch craft! Black Magic!" Came back to watch the video again after I finally made all the necessary sacrifices and got my bag to zip up. I do think she is using witch craft. This bag threw a full on tantrum when I tried to pack up my sneakers, and raincoat. She just gets ir all to fit!
    Smol difference though:
    I'm going to Ireland and it gets chilly and damp in the fall, had to pack thicker layers, which is the true source of my grief.

    Really recommend the lush tins if the issue with shampoo/conditioner bars is convenience rather than formula! Can press the shampoo in and scrub it straight from the tin rather than just using a bar if that makes sense? Then shake out excess water, put the lid back on and they don’t leak! Just have to use the lush ones or a softer one you can smush in (I used an ethique one and just cut it to size which worked fine).

    Why not put the deodorant in your bum bag? It looked like there was room, and it seems like something that isn't a bad idea to have easily accessible as well?
    I also highly recommend getting those little hair brushes that fold out and have a brush on one side and a mirror on the other. My hair is about the same length and is also just as straight. These work for me, and they fold up to be really small and save space. You can get them for like $2.
