One Bag: The Art and Science of Packing Light

One Bag is one of the remnants of the "old web" that continues to be updated and relevant.

Having run across it ~20 years ago, I still use their recommended "bundle wrapping" (https://www.onebag.com/pack.html) technique when I need to pack efficiently.

JSR_FDED•9mo ago
I used to be in the “clever ways to cram lots of clothes into a single case” camp. But the downsides of that are that you can’t easily find anything, everything gets wrinkled, and every pack/unpack moment is stressful.

Now I pack 3/4 of a case, max. Now I can easily find things, fewer wrinkles, and zero stress when arriving somewhere or leaving somewhere. It’s so much better when you prioritize this way.

pmags•9mo ago
But that's the beauty of the "bundle method" -- no wrinkles!
JSR_FDED•9mo ago
Sure, but now you’re on a plane and would like to grab something from your bag - headphones or a sweater or an aspirin. Do you need to pull the bag from the overhead bin, balance it on your chair while you unpack the whole bag? Or do you reach into your bag while still in the overhead bin and pull out the item you need?
pmags•9mo ago
Not at all -- there's no need to pack every single item into a bundle.

For me at least, the "bundle" is basically all the clothing that will be used at my destination.

Like any other packing situation, you'd keep a jacket, sweater, headphones, etc. outside of the bundle for easy access en route.

Have always liked the advice on this site, but does everything like this have to be labeled an art or a science or both?
