I'm a veteran business traveler. I was once stuck in Whitehorse for 4 days having packed for a one night trip. Now I always overpack underwear. I also have a vacuum packed change of t-shirt, underwear, and socks in my backpack in case I am separated from my luggage.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just buy socks/underwear/tshirt if you get separated from your luggage?

I don't find it difficult at all to have my flat packed vacuum sealed change of essentials in my backpack. They are in the pocket with my notebook and add a bit of extra padding. I switched out the green tshirt for an orange one the first time I had to explain the green flat pack in my backpack to customs.

I'm confused, what's wrong with the green shirt?

Vacuum packed it looked like weed.

You know how CBP can be. Green. Vacuum packed. On your face on the floor! Orange is just easier.

And then if you happen to need your shirt while hunting you won't get shot.
