Is a Packing Course Worth It?

You are wondering if a $67 packing course is actually worth it. Fair question.

Most online courses are not. They are repackaged free advice with a checkout button.

Here is the honest answer for this one.

A packing course is worth it if it pays for itself within one trip and saves you decision time on every trip after. Both are testable.

My viewers have taught me as much as I’ve taught them, the math on a packing system is straightforward to run. You do not need to take my word.

The financial math.

One round-trip checked bag fee: $70 to $100.

The course is $67.

It pays for itself the first time you skip the checked bag.

One overweight surcharge avoided: $50 to $100 saved.

The course is $67.

Same math.

One emergency airport gift-shop purchase avoided because you actually packed what you needed: $30 to $50 saved.

The time math.

Average packer spends 90 to 120 minutes packing the night before, sometimes spread over the prior week.

Method users spend 20 minutes packing, with no spread.

Save 60 to 90 minutes per trip, every trip, forever.

The stress math.

This one is harder to price. But ask yourself how much you would pay to never lie awake the night before a trip wondering if you packed everything.

If the answer is more than $67, the course pencils.

The 30-day backstop.

The course comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If after a real trip it did not change your packing, you get your $67 back.

The downside is bounded. The upside compounds across every trip you take.

Worth-it is testable. Run the math, then run the trip.
