Tips for packing a backpack correctly
If you have ever wondered how to make a travel backpack weigh less and thus save space in your backpack, here we have the answer. The bad thing about overpacking is when you have to carry your backpack on your shoulders, or even pay an additional value for excess baggage. However, there is a solution for everything and here we will show you 5 simple tips that can help you avoid being overweight in your luggage.
#1: Corners are sacred
Pack in the corners! You will be surprised how much extra space you have in the corners since it can help to create a retaining wall that serves to fit more things. The figure should be in a square since we simulate the shape of the corners and take advantage of all the space, in this case, It could be shirts or underwear that are more malleable than other garments.
#2: Roll everything up!
To fold clothes, the swiss roll technique is an excellent alternative because they save space by being able to fit them into any hole.
You can also lay them flat and layer them, this technique applies to everything from t-shirts to cargo pants, gloves, and jackets.
#3: Plastic bags
There are small things that you will usually need unexpectedly and that you should have within reach. Because they are so small, they can sometimes be difficult to find, and it is also a good idea to put your clothes and electronic devices in plastic bags to prevent them from getting wet.
The rest of the implements that go in the backpack should also be protected with waterproof plastic. The same happens with the sleeping bag that goes on the outside of the backpack. You can’t risk it getting wet and having no place to sleep.
#4: Balance inside the suitcase
It is important to think about how the weight is distributed in the suitcase. There are three main rules to follow when thinking about balance:
1: Heavy objects go close to your body and in the middle of your back.
2: Even distribution of medium-weight items from side to side.
3: Some delicate objects must be wrapped in clothing. They are large objects that cannot be easily crushed or handled.
#5: Choose the ideal suitcase
