How Many Bags Are Too Many?
thanks fo the info. he does not want to pack too much stuff, so if he puts his stuff in duffel bags, will 3 bags be too much? they are not really big bags. i know the trainer probably does not want him to have too much stuff, but 6wks is a long time. thanks.

remember truckstops have laundry facilitys so you only need a max of 2 weeks worth of clothes then you just do laundry. you could even get away with 1 week of clean clothes and do laundry every saturday or something like that. just since he will be gone 6 weeks does not mean to pack 6 weeks worth of clean clothes do you realy want to take 42 pairs of under wear (6x7) socks and t-shirts probubly 10 pairs of pants and a couple extra sets just in case?

Almost all the companies can give you an outline on what to bring with you.Most send you home on your first or second trip to get your things.
