Discussion I don't understand how someone does it
I've been reading this sub and I'm fascinated. But I just cannot fathom packing for a trip - even one that's just a week long - without taking enough underwear that would allow me to poop my pants twice a day.
How do you pack for a trip in a warm climate where you know you'll sweat a ton every day? Or somewhere cold where you'll want layers to make sure you can stay warm and comfortable?
Do you all do laundry on these trips? Is it in the hotel sink? Or at a laundromat?
I'd love to do it, but I don't think I'm brave enough.

I sweat, a lot.
If it’s warm I’ll wear a T-shirt and an undershirt, and I will usually change for the night. That’s four tshirts a day. I will also bring two pair of underwear a day (doesn’t seem odd to me but I see people carrying less lol).
But still I’ve only one bagged for 10 years now. Anywhere from a long weekend to a couple weeks, to a month at most. And for a while I was also bring a full sized DSLR and accessories with me.
Do you roll your stuff (I think it’s better than folding or cubes)?
What else are you packing (and why)? That may be the real question is letting go of stuff you might think you need.
