Absolutely, we always bring our own. Even if just so we don't have to worry about being in the right place at the right time to pick up materials, or to have to track someone down to get them while we are there.
Don't forget the safety pins.
Ditto. Between the travel sized toothpaste, shampoo, etc and the veritable pharmacy we bring to make sure we have anything we might need for ourselves or to help out friends it gets to be a lot of stuff.
I always do this and while doing it I can't help but debate which end knowing how the baggage is going to be handled - you never know which way is going to be up
I do put them on the ends though - at least there are hard shells on the ends of our luggage. We have had some things explode inside their ziplocks pretty much every trip.
We have overpacked and underpacked in the past. Our goal is to overpack by just a little. I think we have gotten it right on just one trip so far. We can never predict how a trip will go or what we will do, so we just try to be prepared.
