Think you know how to pack a suitcase?

Often times we try to put too much into a suit case.  While the previous post was focused on reducing the number of items that you take, it also helps to look at the way you pack a suit case.

Here are two great video clips on other websites that show you how to pack a suitcase:

"Think you know how to pack a suitcase?"  is a short video clip that shows you how to pack a suitcase using a special folding technique called "bundle wrapping".  I used this on a recent trip and it reduced the amount of creasing in the clothes.

"How to pack your bag for Europe for Girls - Part 1" is a good video for backpacking.  Whilst the folding techniques go out the window, it shows how to get enough items into a 40 litre bag.  This video is especially directed to women but there are many great tips and a link to the male version.
