This might be one of the best how-to-pack demonstrations we've seen yet.
In a new video, English TV host and former Bond Girl Rachel Grant takes on the challenge of packing more than 100 items into a small carry-on suitcase. (A Biaggi Zipsak bag, in case you're wondering.)
The haulincludes a rack loaded with 23 items of clothes, as well as multiple pairs of shoes, more clothes and a bunch of accessories, all spread out over two beds.
Before showing us how it's done, Grant explains that all you need are elastic bands, ziplock bags and packing cubes.
Here's how she manages to achieve the incredible packing feat.
First, Grant says you should roll your clothes to save space.
Packing smaller, rolled-up items of clothes in ziplock bags will keep them organised as well as let you compress the clothes by letting the air out - kind of like mini-vacuum bags. She also suggests opting for lightweight clothes.
Rolled-up socks are packed inside shoes - which save space as well as helping keep the shape of the shoes - and are bound together with elastic bands.
