I used to take too much stuff until I followed Tony's advice...... I make up zip lock bags of the materials needed for each pattern.
I put all the "glues" in a seperate bag and tupperware container. I heard a horror story of a tyer who got to his destination opened his bag and everything was covered in glue. I have 2 rectangle tupperware boxes that fit into the carry on with the materials inside. My vise goes in a seperate padded bag. My tools go in a smaller box. I take a extension cord and power strip bar. I do not have a fly tying portable bench which would be good for the table without a ledge. I just take a small tool caddy. I fit everything into a carry on (22")with wheels.
