  • I'm going on a 3 day school trip, I'm in 6th grade. Last year for the trip I overpacked. A lot. So I need LOTS of tips on how to pack lightly and smartpacking. Everything has to fit in a small backpack (except sleeping bag). THE LIST: • 2 pairs of shoes- hiking boots and sneakers • 2 pairs of long pants: "warm up suit pants" and jeans • 2 pairs of shorts: - gym shorts (nylon) and cotton shorts • 2 or 3 t-shirts (a mix of short and long-sleeved shirts) • 1 fleece sweater • 1 warm coat • a good quality raincoat • a fleece or pile stocking cap • underwear and socks • sleeping bag and pillow • water bottle • bathroom articles - towel, washcloth, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, facewash • sunscreen and lip balm • bug spray • day pack • flashlight Optional Items • sunglasses • camera • baseball cap or broad brimmed hat sooo how to pack lightly ALL THIS KRAP in a duffel? thanks

  • Answer:

    I agree with Fran, try to roll all your clothes, short, underwear, sweater and pants very well, it can reduce some space so you can save for other items. Choose the lightest material as you can get, but still remind that they will have to keep you warm out there. For bathroom and skin care products, put them in tinier media (like small bottles) so they fit one small plastic bag. Make sure your shoulders comfort when carry the backpack. Hope it help and have fun!

Try rolling up your clothes that works great. Also you can wrap your pillow in your sleeping bag. If it has small compartments you can try to stuff as many smaller items as you can. These are all tips I have learned from doing boy scouts. Hope this helps, Andrew
