"Hi, everyone. I'm Russ Handler and I just love to travel. You know, I've traveled all around the world and I've done some packing in my time. And I've gotten a lot better at it as well. If you need to go away and you need to carry just one carry-on bag and you want to do it properly, I'm going to give you a couple of tips. Planning an entire week in one bag can be a little bit profound. However, if you think about it, it's really not that bad. Five pairs of socks, five pairs of underwear, four pairs of slacks, two pairs of shorts, a couple of shirts. It's very easy. Now, rather than folding your garments like this, what I'm going to suggest you do is roll them. Now, we've gotten a lot of success out of that. It sort of cuts the dimensions down quite entirely, especially when you're dealing with shirts, shorts, jeans, underwear and socks. It really cuts down entirely on the overall element that you're going to have in that bag. Most importantly, make sure you buy travel-sized toiletries. That's going to be very important. In some cases, you could get a lot of stuff while you're there, such as toothpaste and your toiletries and other essential items. But, whatever you do, just make sure you go down to the bare basics, you could always get something while at your destination. I'm Russ Handler and that's how it's done."
