Packing Tip III - Pile them on! If your clothes are fairly light, do three shirts at a time

Here we've put three items together in our roll. Bigger radius means even fewer wrinkles.

But the downside of this is that we try to use the clothing from top to bottom of our suitcase, and it's hard (or at least wasteful) to wear three shirts a day. If you expect to stay in a place several days, this isn't a problem. As travel writers though, we often make one-day stops all over a country, so we tend to just double the clothes for efficiency.
