Since airlines are charging for every bit of checked luggage these days, people are flying with carry-on luggage only. Finnish maniac Lauri Vuohensilta (previously at Neatorama) has cracked the code for getting everything you need in a small suitcase you can stash in an overhead bin. He needs some help from his wife Anni in arranging clothing, but with the compression power of a 150-ton hydraulic press, Lauri packs everything he needs for the trip- clothing, electronics, and snacks- with room left over. Might as well take a whole bunch of new socks, too.
There's still room left in the suitcase, but it's getting heavy now. You have to wonder what airport security is going to think about this. Lauri is going to need an iron when he tries to unpack all this stuff. Who knows? Maybe he packed one, along with the flashlight and hair dryer. -via The Awesomer

Wrinkles galore. Looking like you slept in your clothes 3 days running.

I just put stuff in a large ziplock bag and sit on it as I seal it. Or I used to; I haven't flown since 2010.

I've done this before:Put your clothes into a black plastic trash bag.Put a vacuum-cleaner nozzle into the bag and hold it air-tight.Turn on the vacuum to suck all the air out of the bag. By removing all the air from inside the fibers of your clothes, the bag will quickly shrink to about 1/4 it's original size.Quickly duct-tape the bag of clothes, or it will re-inflate when you turn off the vacuum. The duct-tape keeps everything small and tight.
