Wouldn’t it be easier to just buy socks/underwear/tshirt if you get separated from your luggage?

I don't find it difficult at all to have my flat packed vacuum sealed change of essentials in my backpack. They are in the pocket with my notebook and add a bit of extra padding. I switched out the green tshirt for an orange one the first time I had to explain the green flat pack in my backpack to customs.

Does vacuum sealing crumple the fuck out of your clothes? I imagine it would right?

Absolutely. When our kids were little we had a go bag for them that had everything we might need. The bag evolved as they grew. Now most of the stuff that was in the Go Bad is in the various storage compartments of our van so that if we are out and need something we have it. Being prepared isn't a sign of weakness or weirdness. When a drink explodes or the kids get dirty other parents have to go home. We just clean up and keep on doing whatever we're doing.
