Thirty minutes? Not in San Francisco! I recently showed up for a screening an hour and a half in advance, and was still so far back in the line that I didn't get in.

I'm always amazed at how many people continue to believe that this is a good way to pack clothing. I suppose that for T-shirts it wouldn't be a disaster, but I've yet to see dress shirts or suit jackets, to pick but two examples, look smart and pressed after a few hours of being rolled up and packed tightly into a

This fellow is simply folding his jacket, and *any* type of folding is going to produces creases in clothing that is subject to it. The only way to avoid creases is to avoid folding, period. Bundle wrapping addresses this in a simply, straightforward way, and is much more effective than the illustrated approach, or

This fellow is actually "interfolding", not "bundle wrapping"; they're quite different. It may work fine for his (mostly T-shirts and jeans) wardrobe, but if you try to pack business or dress clothing like this, you'll be unhappy with the results.

Although entertaining, this video is a poor guide to the bundle wrapping method, as it makes a number of important errors: in fact, he's mostly folding, not wrapping. Given that the clothing involved is primarily T-shirts and jeans (neither of which presents much of a wrinkling problem anyway), it may not make much of

While this video is entertaining, and vaguely suggests the notion of bundle wrapping, it makes several mistakes in illustrating the technique. As the clothing involved is mostly T-shirts, jeans, and the like, it probably doesn't make much difference to this particular packer, but if you try to pack your (say) business

I'm continually amazed by how this age-old piece of packing advice continues to make the rounds, and has so many people buy into it without any explanation at all as to *why* it should work. Probably because it doesn't. As has already been noted by several commenters, it doesn't save space, and it doesn't prevent

The best way to avoid wrinkles is to avoid folding at all: that's the primary cause of the wrinkles in the first place (you can see the wrinkles that this gal is introducing to the shirt as she folds it).

I've already voted, but after reading trough the other votes, the age-old question arises again. Have these folks who vote for product X ever seriously tried any competing products, or do they just like X because it's better than Windows?

Doing (most, if not all, of) your own laundry has always been one of the keys to travelling lightly. But this article is not a good example of how one should do so. The author has apparently given little or no thought to fabric choice, detergent type, how to dry the clothes quickly and effectively, the actual washing

Assuming that the goal is to travel lightly, I think that this kind of an approach to a personal packing list rather misses the point ... kind of like the "packing lists" that you can get from travel stores. Their focus is more on enumerating the possibilities, when it should be on eliminating the liabilities.

Wow, the passing of an era. Good luck to Gina in all her future efforts.
