"Putting in a contact case is a great solution" BEST UNINTENDED PUN EVER.
LOL
I don't get it someone pls tell me
@@sarahsajeel7536 contact lens solution
Lizzy Marquez ohh thx lol
I literally read this like five times before I understood it.
I wonder how many miles I’ve scrolled with my thumb.
ZaiKa Family now I won’t be able to sleep thx
I love your channel 💗
Now that's a philosophical question
Damn, I really do wonder now.
These are the real questions that need to be asked
I REALLY liked this lady! She had a low toned voice and she got to the point right away; most go yak yak yak before even coming close to getting to the point!!!!
Most people try to milk the ad revenue.
i like that she actually packed less stuff instesd of the classic "how to pack light but its actually just using vacuum bags instead of minimizing"
I was a flight attendant for over 38 years and have traveled all over the world. This video gave some great ideas, and I learned some new things. Thanks.

Guys, this is NOT supposed for a holiday at the beach and not about looking sweet. It’s more for an adventure-trip and always being warm and dry. So STOP hating. Ehdjkgkf.
How is she being warm by only packing t shirts?
Yeah but three weeks of sun screen in a contact lens container is not enough.
Seriously!
a potato with no subs she could just buy more sunscreen
Lexi Palmieri That’s such a waste though
I'm an opera singer and I manage to go on 10 days concert/auditions trip (with concert clothes and scores!!!) with only a bag about this size, saving so much time and back pain!!!!
It might’ve been mentioned already, but one trick I always do is to wear the biggest pair of shoes on the flight/trip. Large shoes esp guy’s hightop boots or sneakers take up a ton of space in your bag. Pack the smaller shoes in your bag instead.
Exactly, then change your footwear on the plane.
Will put my ski boots for the trip then 👍
@@Nonchalant2023 😂😂😂😂
@@Nonchalant2023 Did that once when I was driving with a friend for a few hours. Worst Mistake Ever
as a ranger boots kinda girl: this ! always !
I prefer to bring 4 suitcases and flex on my friends with a new outfit each meal of the day.
Me too 😏
Your wearing the same clothes in your thumbnails?
Suixice’s F3X I actually don’t think I have worn the same thing twice. They are all the same style though!
haha!! flex on
😂
What about laptop, camera, chargers, extra batteries etc??????
I usually just bring one backpack and my camera bag, charger and batteries doesnt need much space tho. Laptop? For what?
@@zonnm laptop for work
@@taeminakim7537 she's not working, so no need for a laptop.
@@carolinagirl3110 at the beginning of the video, she said she travels for work too.
do you mean ipad?
Normal people: burrito baby Soldiers: R A N G E R R O L L
YUP!!🙋🏾♀️😉
The most important thing to remember is that packing for a three-week trip should be almost identical to packing for a one-week trip. The only difference may be the quantity of consumables like conditioner or deodorant. Go for solid options where you can. Solid cologne, soap, shampoo, and so on take up far less space and can last for months
BS you need way more stuff for 3 weeks !
@@maryburger1232 I agree, you need more stuff. More activities.
Totally agree that the only difference for me between a one vs. three-week (or six week or...) trip is the toiletries! Haven't tried solid shampoo yet, but I love my ColorScience SPF 50 powdered sunscreen as an alternative to bulkier lotion sunscreen. Laundry strips are also lighter and more compact than liquid detergent.
@@bellaluce7088 I respect all travelers decisions. I've done a 40L backpack to Central America before. For me, going from a 40-60L gives me more enjoyment on the trip. at this point in my life, my "stuff" is all functional and all adds to the fun. It was cool to be lightweight, that's for sure. I could survive off a 40L but to me, what's the fun in that? I like to have more of what I need.
Completely disagree, no need to pack extra toiletries, they are easy to find in most parts of the word and if you're ever going somewhere where they aren't they don't take much space anyway. Clothing on the other hand pretty much scales with trip length unless you are lucky enough to have access to laundry facilities.
To people who want to pack light for winter time trips- invest in a good jacket so you don’t need such thick under layers. Also, thermal shirts. They are absolutely wonderful. Denim is heavy, so unless you plan wearing your jeans multiple days, pack other pants made of other materials. Also, at night, hang the clothes you wore in a well ventilated area. This way, they won’t smell so bad and you can prolong their use before the next wash.
Dani Black I’m planning a trip in November to japan. Thanks for the winter tips. What kinda other material winter pants would u suggest? Jw 🤔
Kiana Saty I went to Japan in 2017 at the end of December. In my opinion, the temperature itself isn’t terrible, but the windchill is pretty strong (also depends on where in Japan you go- I was in Tokyo). I actually prefer wearing leggings/thermal pants with a pair of jeggings or stretchy pants made to look like like nice pants over top. These items pack really small and with the leggings underneath, the top layer pants don’t smell as bad as quickly (body oils don’t really reach it).
Dani Black thank you! This is great advice and I will deft keep these tips in mind 🙌👏😊
Nice advices. For winter (or multiple-climate zones trips) I'd go anytime with TECH fabrics. Thermal t-shirts or longsleeves, socks, underwear and tights takes up very little space but are comfortable and super-warm.
Edoardo Torrenti nice! Thanks I’ll keep those tips in mind. I appreciate the help 😊
People in these comments are making “ packing light” into some kind of competition. Packing is personal, stop telling people what they need or don’t need to pack for their OWN personal use. What’s it to you anyway? I consider myself a light packer, but I personally would just bring a small carry on for 3 weeks trip because am not taking time to do laundry 3 or 4 times. And I would like to have some space to put souvenirs. She could have packed all that in a small carry on and be just as light and carefree in my opinion. She CHOSE a backpack which is cool. Again, whatever works for YOU.
❤️❤️ yes girl
Well said 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏻 this comment section is quite annoying lol
Your comment deserves a hug!
Lolo Volcy I am too lazy to read what you typed 😅
Ya but the comments are arguing about the essentials, I hope that message can get through ur thick skull
wow this is even more stuff than I'd normally pack so I really appreciate the visual walkthrough and I thought the little outfit burritos were super good. Thanks a lot!
Cannot compliment you enough on how you get quickly into content instead of the endless talk that some channels provide. Taking 12 min to describe how to pack 6 items is annoying while yak yak yacking. Thankyou again for your interesting, helpful presentation.
"...'cause you're always gonna be wearing something... hopefully." 😂😂😂😂😂
This video helped me realize my "I'll just bring everything I own and decide what to wear once I'm there" packing method could, perhaps, just possibly, be the reason I have to take 2 suitcases plus a carry-on everywhere I ever go.....
I’d like to see someone do this with either a cold climate or someone who wears much larger clothes. Larger clothes take more room because there is literally more fabric. And a cold climate means more clothes.
@Aly K. Very relevant comment indeed about larger body size/clothing
I'm six feet and also bring a foldable crutch, a pillow and theatre outfits. And bulky pyamas. 35 liters for a weekend in January in Berlin. I did bring an extra bag with food. 🙂
Actually for warm climate, you need more clothes even though each piece is less fabric. Normal people sweat a lot more in warm weather and start to smell after a day.
amazing mini traveling laundry beg : kzhead.info/sun/ds5mddiqppmCf30/bejne.html
@@yivunqp963 yo should be washing your clothes each night anyway.
The one burrito = one outfit idea is amazing! I'd suggest investing in an ultra light umbrella and always having some plastic bags (used clothes/dirty shoes) with you. Also keep liquids in a seperate 1 litre zip-bag when you are flying.
I do not travel I honestly don't know how I ended up here
😂😂😂
it was a sign that you SHOULD travel lol
Honestly same
Same for everyone now
Looks more like for a week, not three weeks trip
If you are packed for a week, and can get laundry detergent (or shampoo ha ha)... you are packed for a lifetime. I use dry fit clothes (pants, shirts, socks & underwear). Anything I wash at night is dry by morning. 😎
Clickbait and lying on your video title? What? Never.
@@HyTricksyy how is this clickbait and lying? Its 100% possible to get by for 3 weeks with this amount of stuff. I've done it myself. I don't know what your definition of light is, but don't hate on the girl because she can do it and you can't.
Yes because laundry machines do not exist.
@@missuniverse3169 you can do it by hands
this is, honestly, one of the best videos on light packing I’ve seen so far. And I’ve seen a lot of videos.
This was so useful!! I’m currently packing for a long scout trip and we have a limited amount of space for bags so I had to pack everything into a rather tight bag but after watching this video I still had half a bag left!
I don't think it's a good idea to stuff your underwear in your shoes.
Oh, I always pack socks and underwear in shoes. Saves a heap of space
For women, panties should not be stored with footwear, as it can lead to infections. But you could probably grt away with putting it in a baggie in your shoes!
you can put it with your pants and shirt roll
I put mine in zip lock bags and then put them in the shoes 😊
Why not lol
I would recommend a backpack with a waist strap, back support. Also, I throw in a packet of dried lavender.
Shaquice DaCosta thanks I’ll try that! ❤️ love that idea
Great idea!
Great idea with the lavendar !! Thanks. This is the ONLY time I've read that suggestion. 👍👍👏
Really loved almost all the tips and hacks (except for the 'putting underwear in shoes' thing. I would rather keep those with the outfits like you showed later). For me, the best tip was to use the contact lense box and small bottles for toiletries, also the plastic wrap idea to prevent liquid spilling. Life-saving hacks! Thanks a million!
Underwear smelling like stinking feet, such a turn on.
@@MrGroganmeisterclean your shoes then
This was very helpful - so many people say they pack light and then proceed to over pack. I really enjoyed your minimalism.
All i need is hermione’s bag with undetected extension charm
Just curious, how about your bra, bath towel and makeup?
I use a thin microfiber towel, and I just don't Change bras very often, and I usually use very thin bras, that can be washed at night and be dry in the morning... But yeah, nothing on makeup, weird
Not everyone needs so many makeup stuffs. For some, just 1 sunscreen tube is enough.
@@TheSmbrown weird flex but ok
Sample size products or two in one products like lip and cheek rouge or eye pencils for liner and shadow
Not sure about the bra but I always bring a small bath towel (or not because if you stay in hotel they will provide you), and travel size makeup also available with my brand or else you can buy small containers and fill ur moisturizer, toner, etc.
You did amazing job packing plus you are so humble. Nicely done.
Seriously one of the better videos out there. I have always had issues packing especially slippery nylon type jackets and you just made my day. I thought about rolling up outfits but weather is such a big factor. For sleepwear this will be brilliant though. Last the plastic wrap on liquids bottles just omg. Thank you.
Are you an overpacker Me holding my three suitcases:No!😂
Holding 3 suitcases.. And typing a comment at the same time... Now thats a skill I need on my résumé.
@@Kik_Hat_Sne there is something called Gboard (for Android users) which can type on ur voice commands 😅
Lolololololol
I only have 1-2
Hahaha.. this is funny
1:48 Witchcraft!
Lol. Something I would say.
I love the way you folded up the jacket and also the pants/shirts together!!! Thanks for the tips!!!
‘Putting it in contacts case is a great solution’ I see what you did there
The “Rolling Technique” is called Ranger Rolling. It’s used in the military.
Why doesn't she wear bras? Also, this doesn't fit clean freaks LOL
Fiona, She did have bras. Plus how many outfits do you need on a trip?
I still use this technique even being out of the army for a while, and I have taught my mam how to do it as she travels a lot.
Best way to pack
We were going on lil school trip for 2 days and all of my friends brought suitcases (including me ) lmao
Ikr because you need your whole wardrobe incase you don’t feel like wearing that outfit.
My daycare and me were having a sleepover. We came late in the nightand went back at like 9 am. Even though everyone had a suitcase
@@naomi.asmerom #relatable
the thing is.. there's always that basic stuff you need no matter how long you stay- shampoo and other toiletries, pajamas, pants etc.. I can go from a 3-day-suitcase to one for a 7 day trip by just adding 3 additional shirts and that's it- but there's always that stuff that you just need to pack no matter how long you travel and that's what's making me always carry a big suitcase
@@Terry-wo4up You can have essentials and more in a small duffel. I don't get the point in overpacking.
I notice many of these packing tips are very suited for summer travels, but would love to see packing tips for winter trips,, those warm clothes will definitely take on space
I wear all the heavy stuff on the plane
Thank you so much! Traveling for 10 days and haven't traveled in 40 years. This is awesome!
1:51 is called the ranger roll, used by infantry and other military personnel. Super effective!
no, it’s a little burrito baby
This is actually a useful Buzzfeed video and for packing tight when airtraveling
Wear the hiking books on the flight. You save crazy amounts of packing space that way
Hiking Books haha
Too aggravating taking them off in the airport and re-donning them.
It used to be a good idea until you have to take them off at the airport for scans and then you start getting stares and grunts for holding up the line.
It’s amazing how you packed all those items in a small bag. Thanks for sharing.
I can't help over packing. I'm so afraid to be without something that I need and then kick myself in the butt cuz I didn't bring it! However, you showed me a great way to roll my jacket into a baby burrito which saved so much space! I also decided to leave full sized bottles at home. Great video ❤️! Thank you so much from one traveler to another 💓😍😍!!!!
These are all only t-shirts and pants. What if you need sweaters, blazers, jackets? They're not so compact when rolled in a burrito
exactly
Havent you seen her jacket burrito tho? You might just do the same thing. Maybe she does not need a lot of jackets too as she might be traveling to a somewhat hot country..
aguonu pieva this is a video on "Packing Light" if you really need all that stuff than I surmise this video isn't fit for you...
@@laresident7692 coming from Northern Europe no packing for trip is possible without at least two sweaters
then you use the appropriate luggage for those items....not that difficult.
Thank you for this video! The rolled-up "burrito baby" will definitely help to save room in a suitcase/bag AND will help with keeping outfits organized--I tend to "dig" for items ("Where's the top that matches these pajama shorts??") so this is very helpful!
I was thinking of packing up for my winter vacation, thank you so much.
Best most practical packing video I’ve found yet! Thank you!!!
Love it, going to try the burrito baby right now. Cool use of the contact case too!
Not as easy as it looks lol
that contact case not enough hold enough for one wash. wth....
Finally a positive comment
Erica doko , it's not for soap.
From one chronic overpacker to another - THANK YOU for this video! I'm about to travel for a week with my son so I'm hoping to avoid packing a large suitcase for everything we'll need. I appreciate your tips and will definitely put them to use! Love the burrito!
Love the idea of putting the outfit together and rolling it up in one!
The folding/rolling tips helpful. Thanks 😊🌹
4 shirts for three weeks ???
Paloma Brighton the only one paying attention to what your wearing is yourself 👍🏼
And laundry detergent ;)
That's how I survive in college
Do laundry along the way, in every country around the world, people have to wash their clothes, you'll find places to do so.
Guess you missed her packing laundry detergent.
for those heavy clothes packers... laundry is the key to packing light.
but sometmes you cant do laundry or its expensive. washing by hands is also quite hard with some clothes
purrpurr888 what kind of clothes that were hard to wash by hands?
@@zonnm for example jeans or hoodies. you cant squeeze the water out entirely so it will take forever to dry. not to mention regular towels
@@purrpurr888 I can understand why u can't do laundry cause there's no laundry mat nearby but I don't understand how it's expensive(?). if you're only packing a backpack full of clothes it should really be one load, maybe two load tops. as for sweatshirts, heavy jackets, jeans..., yeah u can't wash those by hand. but the whole point of this video is packing light so I'd dress in layers, unless u get cold easily or going to cold places. other than falling in water with your whole wardrobe in ur backpack, I don't understand how ur not being able to do laundry or it's expensive.
@@k.m.9418 it depends on how long your trip is. sure, a backpack is enough for a week or two without laundry, but when you go for a few months with light packing it is inevitable to spend on laundromats even if you wear them three times or something. or if the place has a washing machine, still utility fees... but its not the point, the video isnt about this :)
Between the video and some of the comments below, I have received the best tips for packing after a long search. Thanks!
This video is awesome, especially the burrito trick. I also never thought to put outfits together like that. 10/10.
I'm a hosteler and i usually end up going home every weekend (my home's 2.5 hrs away from my uni) so basically i take all my laundry that means clothes worth 5 days and plus night wear and comfy cloths as well. Thank you sm for these tips they have helped me a lot. I usually prefer to carry a normal size backpack and just fit all my stuff in it and it never worked so i carried a small suitcase and it was tough for me to take care of it in bus or while walking your tips saved my life thank you sm.
In 3 weeks using one contact lense full of sunscreen? Hmmm
Ciara1211 , that's for just until you can get to a store. Plus some people don't use it.
Yeah, this video pretty much assumes you have extra money to buy whatever else you need when you arrive. Toiletries are more expensive outside the States, or even just at hotels, not to mention you can't bring the full-size bottles with you on the flight home. It also depends on your location, as to whether they even have the products you need.
omg ikr
Better shove a LOT of money into that thin mint tin
Yeah and one small bottle for what, washing 3 times?
I really liked the folding burrito idea. Will definitely incorporate into my packing.
I am pretty good at keeping stuff to a minimum but that rolling method looks a real winner. And the contact lens container and the mint tin are ideas I will use. 3 years not travelling, I hope to manage a trip home this year. Thank you!!
The tip with contact lenses case is brilliant!
When I went on vacation and I knew I would need some heavy boots I just wore them while traveling to my destination. It helped me to reduce weight and space in my suitcase. But the rolling method is nice. I have to try it out 😁
Lol me too the biggest pieces like boots, hoody, cargopants ill wear on plane All comfort material, then air them on arrival A lot of people travelling in warmer countries forget to dress A: for cold plane n B: for arrival in cold home country
❤️❤️❤️ much convenient to able to pack everything you need in a bag pack ☺️ thanks for the tips
Amazing! Thank you for these tips. Loved how you made burritos of the pjs. I will definitely use some of these tips.
Shampoo in a contact lens case FOR 3 WEEKS? Are you kidding?
People use more shampoo etc. Than they need to
Most hotels have shampoo though
For my 22 inch hair for 3 weeks!?This is my problem when travelling coz I have to bring my own shampoo.Can't use other brands.
Buy more at your destination.
It’s sunscreen in the contact lens
Real talk: I've found that minimalist packing videos only apply to slender people who have sizes of clothes that use thin textiles.
I think that is kinda true. I can't roll any of my bottoms because there is more material than someone who a smaller size than me.
Disagree, I mean T-shirts are pretty much always made of thin fabric
m0egrrL Totally agree! I’m 6f and do not have a chance to pack so light. Three pairs of shoes would take the whole of my backpack 😂
Also, non-cold destinations
I’m a bigger girl and it is possible .. yes there’s more fabric and if it were for a cold climate .. well that’s just near impossible for me but warm clothes I can. I did an under armour backpack and a purse for 2 weeks in Romania (summer) It had to weigh less than 6kg so I did the best I could. I only had one outfit I didn’t wear.
Really appreciate such helpful info in just over FOUR minutes! Thank you!
Thank you. This helped so much as I am going on a road trip tomorrow to Miami
This is more like I’m not going to be looking cute on this trip type packing
Omg facepalm
Exactly!
V. S..Trying to tell ya!
LMFAOOOO I’m screamingggggg
Some women have other qualities and don't have to look cute.
Thank you for making a video with a lot of information that's under 5 minutes. No extra talking, music, or sound effects.
Excellent. I used to be an overpacker. I'm on a journey to light packing. Thanks for the hacks!
Brilliant. Short. Effective. GAME on. THANK you.
This is also great for students who go home for the weekend!
Wear 2 to 3 times unless there's laundry? Not likely if you are traveling in tropical regions...
Jason Koh truee you can just pack 1 pajamas, unless you gonna buy it at local stores
why is it not likely if youre travelling in tropical regions?
Zoe D you will sweat a lot, even in your sleep. it will be sticky and smelling if you re-use your jeans and cloths
Not even Winter in Europe
In tropical regions there are less people. You don't care if you stink if you don't meet people.
thanks for the inspiration! give me insight how to pack more lightly
I really like this video and I love to travel! I always over pack, but now you have shown me something new! Thank you.
The amount of clothes I take depends on how quickly things will dry. In hot climates things dry overnight easily. I prefer colder climates so take manmade fibres as they dry much faster. It is not hard to wash through your outfit at the end of the day, if necessary. The microfibre towel is also great to use when you wring out your clothes as it absorbs more water.
I'm not an over packer. I tend to pack very lightly but I was curious to see other methods and indeed a learnt somethings different and quite useful too! Glad that I clicked 😄😄
I was considering to get a backpack like yours for a long time now i think I will definitely buy it for my 7-day trip to Japan next year. Thanks for sharing this video.
You have the best packing for travel video by far. I'm not an avid traveler but I want to be. I've learned so much more from this one video than others I've seen (by other KZheadrs). Looking forward to more travel tips! 👍
The burrito is really helpful! I went on a 5 day trip to Singapore and the weight of my carry on was only 4kg and that was the only baggage I had! Herschel’s Little America backpack is a really great bag for travelling.
Wow my country! Where in Singapore did you went? any places of interests?😊
Hi
Hi can u suggest tips packing for sg
Mona Kavi Mona Kavi From my experience, I suggest that you bring very light clothes. What I mean of light clothes is that the cloth should not be that thick. Singapore is hot and very humid. The weather is usually 27-30 degree celcius. Just bring one jacket (you’re probably just gonna use it on the plane). I would also suggest you wear skirts or shorts while you go there. Pants are okay but shorts or skirt is better. Sleeveless tops would be good too. For shoes you could just bring a pair of sneakers or flats (if you’re not really gonna walk far). Hope that this could help :)
kj I went to a lot of places! My favorite one is the Arts & Science museum. The pictures that I took there was amazing.
I can just about fit 3 nights into a huge suitcase :')
Lol same
Jewelry n make up options is a must for me. I like to dress based off my mood n outfits
I can pack 10 days maximum in a big suitcase ;-;
That's sad.
Mia Wong thats really inpressive... i can barley fit 5 days in to a suitcase
Great trick with keeping the outfits together! I keep a small bottle of dry powder laundry detergent and only sometimes get stoped at customs for it
Packing for a long trip. Thank you for the Burrito baby, such a great way to condense bulkier items and not so bulky items.
Flip flops swimsuit, collapsible hat & nice sweat suit, useful as a light jacket, comfy lounging pants & even for an extra casual outfit.
i usually pack simular colors so everything can mix my fav is nature colors, brown, beige, green, camo,
I love the rolling method. I use it at home, too. For my underwear, for my T-Shirts and for my sweaters.
Best video I've seen so far! I've been looking for a video on how to pack everything I need in a backpack and this video saved me. ❤️❤️❤️
I never comment on videos, but this video is Super useful, Thanks for the tricks!!
The little burito thingy hack save me Thank you so much
This is impressive. I am a little too high maintenance to get away with so little but there are some great tips there I can definitely use.
I watched 10 videos today and seriously your video is the one really putting stuff inside the bag and let me see them physically fit in the bag👍👍😍😍👏👏👏
Pro tip, get a backpack with a bottle holder on the side or clip the bottle on with a carbiner
Can put a water bottle in one side pocket and your umbrella in the other- that's what I do when I know it's gonna rain and I have to walk to my classes!
I got a soft water bottle that looks like a 1-liter capri-sun with a carabiner on the cap. It doesn't dent, and it rolls up into a tiny little thing that's easily tucked anywhere. :)
@@HipposHateWater that sounds so neat! I'm assuming you got that online?
Burrito Baby is also known as „Ranger Roll“ or „Grunt Roll“. A variation of this is to roll your socks in with the open ends sticking outwards at either side. In the end you just pull the socks‘ open ends over each end of the whole roll so you have a sealed package that isnt going to unravel at all. Also, if you travel for a longer time, get yourself some Merino shirts. It is the most awesome stuff in the world. Breathable, light, packs down really small, dries in no time at all (useful whenever you can give them a wash in the sink or so), good for almost every weather situation. A bit on the pricy side but worth every penny. A friend of mine travelled the world for a year with just four of those - and they are still going strong. Personally I can fit a week‘s worth of clothes in a medium packing cube...but every cubic inch I save is then gobbled up by camera gear 😅
Lots of great packing tips - thank you!
A brilliant idea 💡 I will definitely go with your method for sure thanks.
Another key thing when packing is to pack clothes that can be mixed and matched, things that can be worn more than once and things that are quick dry in case you end up having to wash them. That way if you are wearing an outfit and you spill something on it say your shirt you just change the shirt instead of the entire outfit and wash the shirt so that it can be used again later if it is needed. There is no reason to pack 7 pairs of pants, 14 shirts, 5 pairs of shoes, 3 pairs of pajamas and multiple dress outfits when you are only going on a trip for a week. Last time I went to Las Vegas for a week with my husband I was able to pack (using the rolling method) everything I needed for myself and my husband for the full week in a single duffel bag that was still small enough to be considered a carry on bag.
Recently did 2 weeks in eastern Europe with just carry-on. Very do-able and very freeing. I wore layers rather than bulky sweaters, got some ski base layers at my local Aldi and those kept me toasty for the trip.
Thank you for this. Just what i needed. I learned a lot from this
I feel like I overpack. This is helpful (I really like the burrito folding!)
