Packing Tips
For travelers on the go, packing what you need in a small space is essential. This includes business trips, vacations, as well as those extended camping trips. So what type of organizers do you need on your next trip? What items should be included? Here are a few tips:

  • For business and vacation travelers, you will want a lightweight, yet durable pack that is water resistant.
  • Choose an easy access pack that will allow you the convenience of hanging it from a towel bar or a tree branch if needed.
  • If you’re too busy to properly prepare your travel items, choose a pre-packed kit, such as the Travel Pack from Atwater Carey, which is fully stocked and ready to hit the road.
  • Packed items should include: deodorant, dental floss, safety razor, shave cream, mirror, toothpaste, towelettes, bar soap, comb/brush, shampoo, lotion, toothbrush holder, and a mending kit.
  • For campers or hikers going out on extended trips, a Campside Kitchen may be more appropriate.
  • Items to be used when camping include: knives, forks, spoons, salt and pepper shakers, leak-proof containers, can opener, wire whisk, heat-resistant turners, serving spoon, scrubber, and a squeeze bottle.
  • Place coffee, spices, honey, cooking oil, or other campside essentials in leak-proof containers.
