How to Pack An Insane Amount of Stuff Into An Insanely Tiny Space

I am concerned about the upcoming road trip to Alaska. And by concerned I mean completely freaking out. I'm not sure how this is going to work.

Dilemma: Five people and their traveling stuff, Sara's possessions, and two cars to fit it all in. Am I wrong to be panicking? I'm currently whittling down my list of things to bring, but it's very difficult with the fact that I'm going to be in Alaska for almost a month.

Here is what I imagine we will look like driving up the Alcan, minus the turbans:


Oh that reminds me, I need to get ropes. Lots and lots of ropes.

The one thing this picture is missing is the snow we will likely encounter. Ok, adding tarps to the list. Lots and lots of tarps.

Studying these expert packers, I see that they have a roof rack. Sara has one and so does Anthony, so that makes me feel quite a bit better. I'm going to hope and pray that it isn't windy in Canada in October.

Actually, the more I study this picture, I'm thinking we could probably fit more people in the car with us.

Well, there's always hitchhikers.
