you are traveling with a companion, exchange one set of clothing with each other in case one of your
bags gets lost. Easy "insurance" for that rare mishap.
- Dirty Clothes - If you
don't plan to carry a laundry bag nor pack your clean clothes in folders, tie your dirty clothes into a
knot to easily distinguish them from clean.

reading about this miracle fiber in Travel Clothing. It will reduce the number of dirty clothes you
have to deal with, thus reducing bulk and weight that you have to "lug"
around.
- Bringing Back New Clothes

wearing/packing clothes you wish to dispose of to make room for the new.
