How to Pack a Carry-On Bag (4 to 7 Day Trip)

About this video

McGoff demonstrates his systematic approach to packing a carry-on suitcase for a week-long trip during a transitional season with dressy events. He walks through three phases—deciding what to bring, folding clothes strategically to minimize wrinkles, and organizing items in the bag using a compartmentalized packing method.

Key takeaways

• McGoff recommends folding dressier items like button-up shirts and sport coats using specific techniques to minimize wrinkles, such as buttoning shirts fully, folding sleeves to center, and stuffing jacket sleeves together
• McGoff organizes packing by compartment: heavy items like shoes and pants in the larger section, and wrinkle-prone items like shirts and jackets in the smaller section to maximize space efficiency
• McGoff suggests wearing bulky shoes to the airport, hanging clothes immediately upon arrival, and allowing time for steaming or ironing before formal events rather than expecting clothes to arrive wrinkle-free
