Master Two-Week Carry-On Packing with the Bundle Method
Travellers planning a two-week carry-on trip to Europe can benefit from the bundle packing method. This technique, popularised by Doug Dyment, involves wrapping clothing around a core to save space and reduce wrinkling.
The bundle packing method begins by placing a central core, like a packing cube filled with underwear and socks, in the centre of the suitcase. Then, clothing is wrapped around this core. Dyment's method involves laying out clothes flat, starting with a jacket, followed by longer items like dresses or skirts, and ending with shorts. The direction of longer pieces is alternated to create a 'clothing windmill' effect, maximising space efficiency.
Experts suggest that this method can prevent creased clothing and save space in suitcases. However, it may not be ideal for frequent hotel changes due to the need to unwrap and rewrap bundles. To avoid this, travellers can consider bundling by outfit, which helps avoid overpacking and makes it easier to plan outfits. Additionally, travellers should avoid packing items that could trigger a TSA search when using this method.
The bundle packing method, when done properly, can be a space-saving and wrinkle-reducing solution for a two-week carry-on trip to Europe. By wrapping clothing around a central core and alternating the direction of longer pieces, travellers can maximise their packing efficiency. However, it may not be the best choice for frequent hotel changes, and travellers should be mindful of items that could trigger additional security screening.
