Think you’re an overpacker? Get a load of these two.
Finnish content creators Lauri Vuohensilta and Hanna Korpisaari comically compressed a massive mound of travel items into a single carry-on suitcase with help from a 150-ton hydraulic press — and with room to spare.
The dynamic duo shared their feat in an 8-minute video on their popular Hydraulic Press Channel, a YouTube destination that has racked up tens of millions of views by enthusiastically — and ridiculously — squashing everyday items like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, crayons and markers, a head of cabbage, bars of soap, a Furby toy and much more.

For their latest endeavor, which has topped 82,000 views since it was released last month, they wanted to “explore the limits of packing efficiency and the strength of the suitcase,” according to the video’s description, by overpacking a week’s worth of items into a solitary piece of luggage.
The video, clocking in at 8 minutes, features a noisy, cylindrical press reducing dozens of packables to portable disc shapes, with the entire exercise actually taking about a half-hour, Vuohensilta said.
Among the items crushed down to packing size: a jaunty gray fedora hat, a large jacket, numerous socks and shirts (which were declared “surprisingly easy” to compress), as well as an assortment of curious, ultimately doomed items like a hair dryer, a can of Pringle’s potato chips and a flashlight.
When they were done, the travelers still had room for miscellaneous electrical devices that they deemed non-crushworthy.

Vuohensilta was especially amused by the machine’s expertise in reducing a jacket to a thick disc.
“I think it’s going to be pretty straightforward to unfold,” he declared with a laugh. “Just quick ironing and it’s brand new.” (Although it seems clear their hotel room iron is destined for quite a workout.)
Hundreds of commenters marveled at the “very clever” spectacle, with one viewer calling it “a whole new level of hilarity and awesomeness,” while several others offered the helpful tip that they could immerse the clothes in warm water to unfurl them upon arrival.

One person, meanwhile, was curious how the Transportation Security Administration might react, saying: “I would like to see airport security go through that looking for contraband!”
Not that the duo is actually recommending the cheeky packing solution, as they offer this disclaimer in the video’s description: “Do not try this at home!! or at anywhere else!!”
Looks like you’ll still have to shell out extra bucks for increasingly sky-high fees to check your bags after all.
