On his official TikTok, RuPaul Charles shared a tip about packing smartly, explaining that he always thinks "like a Boy Scout" by being prepared. He showed his 1.4 million followers that his bag has no loose items. Instead, he organizes everything into smaller, soft mesh bags. This way, he can easily pull out what he needs without forgetting anything, especially when switching bags. This packing hack is so good it might make you say, "Yaaaaaas, Queen!"

"I was a Boy Scout, so I have always lived with this creed: Be prepared," RuPaul Charles explains in his viral TikTok packing video. 

His post, which has been liked over 89,000 times, shows how he organizes his handbag like a true Boy Scout. He uses smaller mesh bags, each for a specific theme or category. "This is so when I switch bags, I don't miss something that I need while the transfer happens," he explains. 

But, what is inside the mesh bags? The drag queen "This has electronics stuff in it — headphones. These are attachments; matches are in here. Pen in here, tablet, a toothpick, lip balm..." 

He's also a big fan of carrying all-purpose remedies, like Valium or baking soda, which he claims can be mixed with a teaspoon of water to cure an upset stomach. One of the most fitting items he carries is double-sided tape because, "it is the cure for a myriad of problems that could arise."

RuPaul Charles has shared his top travel tips before. In 2018, he had a conversation with The New York Times where he explained why he prefers to travel light, smart, and with a Boy Scout mindset. He mentioned that his constantly moving lifestyle led him to develop these strategies, stating, "I packed a bag when I was 15 years old and I've never unpacked it. I knew from day one I was going to hit the road and never stop."
