Angie, what "gigantic duffle bag" did you use to pack up off-season clothes in your last move? Any recommendations?

Ah. It's a bag we bought in France when we lived there and moved from there to the US. It's GIGANTIC, and we got the cheapest we could find. It's bigger than me.

It was like this but bigger:

Notsaf, the blog History in High Heels has a lot of content about packing for extended trips abroad, including specific luggage recommendations. Here are some posts that might be relevant:

Thanks Angie and Sarah!

This would be something to pack folded clothing into that would end up in a storage unit for a year: something that is easier to move in-city and to *find* and *find things in* than another cardboard box.

Angie, I've been poring over your old moving posts! Such a helpful resource.

I'll take a look at the links you posted as well, Sarah!

I’ll add a plug for this monster. I used two of these for my camping/bicycling trip across Iowa a couple years ago, as well as other car camping trips, and I’ve also had friends borrow them to carry donated sports equipment and other items to Africa. They hold a ton but fold down to a very light and compact size for storage. Not precious or pretty but super functional.

Notsaf, I have moved many times and from country to country. HECTIC. I have a lot to share, so feel free to ask questions. I learned from trial and error and can prevent you from making my mistakes!
