Use Ziplock Bags for Wet and Dirty Items

The Problem

Wet swimsuit soaks everything in your bag. Dirty clothes mix with clean.

The Hack

Pack 3-4 gallon-size Ziplock bags. Use for: wet swimwear, dirty laundry, leaky toiletries, snacks, and electronics in rain.

Why It Works

Ziplock bags are waterproof dividers that weigh nothing and pack flat. They solve multiple travel problems: wet/dry separation, leak containment, and organization.

Pro Tips

• Gallon size for clothes, quart size for snacks and electronics
• Double-bag anything that might leak
• Also useful for: passport protection in rain, phone at the beach
• Pack 4-5 empties — you'll find uses you didn't anticipate
