Video Transcript

"Hi, Chrissy Lyons and we're back with Expert Village carrying on with our travel packing. In this segment, I basically want to just talk about how to fill in the blanks and make use of all the extra little spaces that would leave gaps in the case. Whatever item you have that's small, a little toiletry case, look for little nooks and crannies where you can just put it in to fit basically like a puzzle piece filling in any holes and gaps. These little binoculars that I have, they're in there own case, also if you have a small item that isn't already wrapped in something, take a pair of socks, put it inside the sock like this. Plays double duty, you don't need to with this item because it's got its own case, but that's just another helpful little hint for something you can do. Find any little corner pieces so that everything is basically level, you want to keep everything straight across so there are no dips and valleys. It helps to keep a solid edge. A corner, it's always good to shove down the side behind the shoes, along the sides, in the corners, see, any other little item that you wouldn't otherwise know what to do with. Oh, here's a spot. Feel around so that you're continuing to keep it as level as possible. We'll keep going in the next segment, see what next we're going to put inside."
