I teach for a living and travel by plane and car about 10-15 time a year. Usually long weekends (3-4) days. I stay in a mix of hotels and host's houses. Suitcases are nice if you know you will not need to cover much ground on foot. For me that is usually not the case. I have two bags, the Bag of Evil (EDC survival stuff) which is a SoTech Mission Pack. My other bag is my clothes bag, a Diamondback Tactical Messenger Bag. These two bags allow me to cover lots of ground on foot if need be.

I have only been kilting for six weeks or so but am pretty much full time. So far I have traveled with my kilts twice and pack them the same way I do all my other clothes and it has worked out well. The problem with packing clothes is that most people like are used to folding them, it is bad enough when you have all the same clothes grouped together when you are at home, but when you are packing for a trip with different sizes they get wrinkled fast. This is an easy way to pack, so easy even your kids can do it.

Get all the clothes you plan on taking together. On a clean table, lay them out like this, one on top of the other. As you lay them out line them up the best you can with each other. Stretch and smooth out wrinkles with your hands. Deal with the wrinkles now.

Long sleeve shirts
Short sleeve shirts
P*&nts (waistband at the top)
Kilts (folded as if they were on a hanger, waistband at the top)

Take a one gallon zip lock bag to put your socks, underwear, and undershirts in to create a pillow. I use Kifaru Pull Outs. If you need more than one bag use it, but you only need one for a pillow.

Look at your stack of clothes, The shirts will be wider than the p**nts and kilts. Fold them over the top of them so that they are the same width. Take your pillow and place it in the middle of the pile. Flip the bottom of your stack over the pillow and then flip the top (shirt collars and waistbands) over the bottom. Place your ball of clothes in the bag. When you get to where you are going be take the ball out and lay them out or hang them up. Don't forget your kilt hangers. You should find very few wrinkles in your clothes this way. You can also subload the ball of clothes into a pillow case or laundry bag inside of a larger bag to keep them clean and separated from other things.

I have done this with my Amerikilts as well as my Stadard from USA Kilts and they came out great. Hope this is easy enough to understand. I will try to post pics soon.- George
