What this sheet is for

Write your own packing list once, for the way you actually travel, and reuse it for every trip after that.

Who it is for

Anyone who travels more than once a year, families packing for several people, campers, festival-goers and business travellers.

How to use it

  1. Write the master list after a trip, while you remember what you wished you had.
  2. Group items by where they pack: case, hand luggage, worn, last minute.
  3. Tick when it is in the bag, not when you have thought of it.
  4. Keep the must-not-forget line short: documents, medication, chargers, keys.
  5. Photocopy the master rather than rewriting it.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Why is there no list of what to pack?

Because a ready-made list is what stops people thinking about where they are actually going. What you need for a week camping and for three days of meetings have almost nothing in common. Yours will be better than ours.
