Procrastinating the packing.. Oh noes.

[FuzzyNutz]

If you roll your clothes you be surprised by how much room you can save... just my $.02

Haha, spoken from a true military man! I remember having to pack my sea-bag that way when I did a youth naval program through most of my childhood. That's for sure a good way to do it, but personally I think it leaves things to wrinkled for civilian life, lol.

Don't forget to leave some room if you go shopping,
or whatever for the return trip.

I'm going to the Invasion!​

If you missed your chance...
you're just gonna be reading about it! ​

My plan of attack is to put my reg,mask, camera, passport, important stuff, and one set of clothes in my carry on. Rest goes in checked in this order- Scuba gear, then everything else. I have laid out my clothes in pile of what I want to bring, then plan on 1/2ing it..

that is true... i didnt say I packed that way, but if your space limited its a good way to make up some room.

Since Delta screwed up 2 days ago, all the airlines have changed their baggage polices so I now have all kinds of room.....

See you soon under the sea.

I have everything set to put away, but I just don't know where to start. Any tips??

Even the checklist from the forums which was great help as it is very thorough. <3

can't way for sunday... \o/

easiest way to do it is roll it all in a ball, then get some duct tape and wrap it all around it, toward the end once you have everything nice and tightly wrapped, I make a handle out of the duct tape and there you go. No worires about the air line damaging your luggage and as a bonus your luggage when it comes out on the carosel is easy to identify, those big gray balls stand out pretty well against all those black bags.

Freaking Over Achiever!

Do what I do: eight hours before your departure, take out the bag that you failed to unpack from last trip, remove gear that no longer works, add clothes, and rent what you need when you get there. Works like a charm!

Put **** in bag, zip bag, done.
