Packing Tutorial

[clex_monkie89]

In this post I'm going to show you how to pack for an entire week in a single carry-on.

This is the Con Packing Checklist. It's original designed (by someone else) for Comic Con, but is a good way to make sure you leave home with everything you need and don't return home short a charger or shirt.

True fact, one Wincon that was in a cold place, I had a small meltdown because I couldn't get everything into my carry on. I legit wore five layers (tank. t-shirt, flannel shirt, hoodie, coat) onto the plane, stripped most of it off and stuffed it in the overhead. No one said a word! Layer up FOR REAL.

Not to going to wincon insert sad face. But I would also suggest wearing your "biggest" shoes ie boots on the plane , if you plan on bringing more than one pair of shoes.

Seconding this forever. It's saved me so much space to just wear my boots. Socks, underwear, and even smaller shirts do super well stuffed into shoes/boots too!

Space Bags (the kind that DON'T need a vacuum) are typically found in the luggage deptarments of ... really whatever department store you happen to be it - Bed, Bath and Beyond, Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. THEY ARE MAGIC and especially useful for the thicker jeans or odd poofy costume bits.

Also - Amanda taught me this and now I PREACH IT. BRING A POWER STRIP - We are fangirls. We have shiny toys that require outlets. We have shiny toys that require outlets that are preferably NOT in the bathroom. (Bonus if you're coming from outside the US, you then only need one adapter.)

you and your outlets :P

Brilliant!

I pack by making outfits of shirt/socks/underroos and then folding and rolling them into little bundles. This helps me not forget to pack enough underwear. Then I do the pants/dress/sweaters thing as shown.
