- Good skill to learn for efficient packing or for simple organization. I used this technique while I served as an infantryman in the U.S. Army and is a skill that I still find useful today in the civilian world. I hope you enjoy, Thanks for watching!

legend has it he’s still checking the fold at the bottom to this day
Dog...
If you dont do it right you can mess up the whole fold and in a tutorial you want to emphasize that
Till this DAY
still double checking.. still got it right.

this is my favorite way of doing laundry and my wife hates it
That's what I'm doing today. If it's not on a hangar, it's going to be ranger rolled.
Moms gonna be pissed

My one additional hack to this was/is to add in a pair of socks and boxers after the folding and just prior to rolling. This way you grab one roll when heading to the shower during deployment, or while camping to this day.
Hundo P facts.
I do that too. I'm a motorcyclist who travels a lot, and have been doing that for....35 years, or so? Started out just folding them together. Impressed a woman at the laundry, so she started doing it with her husband's clothes. I don't go to all that extra folding stuff, it just doesn't get that wrinkled to worry about.
Yes! I fold my guy's smalls this way. It also gives me an opportunity to inspect and pitch anything that is getting a bit worn. He loves it especially when packing for a trip or going for a shower. Just grab & go.
Brilliant!
Or just fold it like a normal person. You can fit plenty of shirts for camping the normal way. Really excessive and kinda useless, unless you gotta kiss your CO's ass or something. Not something you need to do in real life.
I suffered from insomnia for years and then I discovered this video. I watch it religiously now and fall asleep and go to bed. Sometimes I even snooze at the keyboard so don't ever watch this at work. Thanks a heap man!
Instructions were unclear , I’m now in the army
Boot ass comment
@@thermalgaming4710 It was a joke lmao
Its how they getcha man
Instructions were unclear, I'm now scheduled for the ASVAB and will be enlisting in the army.

In the Navy we all are taught to fold our shirts. It's all neat folding but I feel the ranger roll is actually more efficient for travel & saving space than having a big stack of folded shirts.
It very much is, I do it all the time because i have such little space. Regular folding i can only fit about ten shirts in my nightstand, ranger roll i can fit almost double, not quite but almost, also, in my experience it leaves less wrinkles since there aren't any sharp creases you have to iron out.
Hope you got a few extra hours..
In the Navy and Air Force recruits aren't taught discipline.
@@rc8824 we used to…but the weak woke left ruined it.
At least you don't have the gay cartoon the Army has....
I’m glad I watched this. Now I can fit all my t-shirts in one drawer. Thanks bro.
Now you gotta fold the pants.
@@Greendragon547 u can try and do something that is like the same to the ranger roll cause I did and it worked
In one drawer? Pah! Amateur.
I keep all my shirts in my coat pocket. No need for drawers. 😂
@@peterclarke7240 lol
Either you have a very small drawer or a LOT of t-shirts.
I’m packing for a trip and this helped me a lot, thanks mate!
Saammee
@@tallanimetree1801 dont forget to do it and undo it 10 times.
Hope you didn't miss your flight
@@tezhug1890 His mates left without him after waiting so long.
Make sure you start 4 weeks before you go . 🤭
I tried it on my towel first time and it came out perfect. Then i tried it on my pillow case came out perfect then on my t shirts once again came perfect. I have fixed my space problems in my drawers.
Thank you so much 😁😁
You don't need to turn the bottom inside out -- you can just fold it under. When you fold the sides in, it will still create the pocket you need to wrap it up at the end. Also, you don't need to roll it the whole way. You can fold the shirt over about 2/3 of the way and then roll it up....Less rolling, same result.
If you have 4 1/2 hours to pack, this is great info.
I understand taking the time to fold something correctly. I used to skydive and got teased all the time about the length of time it took me to pack my chute. Some guys would be running to the plane still tucking material into their container. I wanted to make sure mine was folded the best it could be before I flung myself out of....all together now...a perfectly good airplane.
Haha I’d take my time on a chute too but this is a T-shirt 😂
niice story time story...
It’s truly incredible there aren’t more skydiving deaths in this country. I’ve seen what you’re talking about with guys folding their chutes in in the plane. A lot of them are heavy drug users too (not just weed). People need to really do their homework when picking a place to go skydiving. Last place I went I wasn’t even sure the pilot was sober. The rest of the employees were tweakers. I’ll probably never go skydiving again bc nowhere I’ve been has been as safe as it was in the military.
I discovered rolling only 5 years ago, and I'm 73! When I travel in my small plane, I can pack more efficiently, I then started doing it at home. NO FOLDING though, well, one fold in half, long wise, then roll, done, super quick and easy.
I like the fold at the end of the shirt technique for wrapping it up nice and tight, but other than that I gotta say, as someone who was in the Air Force briefly and was the t-shirt roller for my element in the flight, you guys had it easy on the t-shirt rolling techniques required for inspection from what I see here.
inb4 chair force lololololol
Yea, I know, it gets that reputation, and deservingly in most cases, but I was in when Gen Mosely was trying to turn the PRT into a mirror of what Marines do while still keeping the stress of the psychological pressures. I'm not sure if it was just my street flight that was like that, but yea.
No disrespect though, efficiency is efficiency and that shirt does look nice and presentable at the end result. I just saw the video title and thought I'd see that it'd be even more difficult and painstakingly critical for errors as what I went through.
Edit: I hope you guys in the comments that are talking about how long he's taking are just taking the piss and not serious about the time he's taking to do it. He's being courteous and doing it that way so even the slow crowd can understand it. He's trying to show how to do it, not just do an example.
this tutorial is better than the "pinch fold" thing for shirts. really helpful im going back to my home country since im in georgia and i only have a small bag. thank you.
Nicely done. I believe any man could benefit from this at one time or another. As an Outdoorsman I could have used that knowledge my entire lifetime. Thank you.
This seems like a great way to do it for a bugout bag or when traveling.
Thanks for tips!
If I'm packing for a trip and taking a suitcase I prefer the method where I lay all my shirts flat on top of each other, then fold them all together in a way where the finished product matches the dimensions of the suitcase. Way less wrinkles and no stretched out bottom seams.
The t-shirts crammed into my dresser are all laughing hysterically.😂
Good clear video. I'm planning to show this to my Scoutmaster husband for the next time he takes a crew on a multi-day backpacking trip.
I’m used this for travel and its a huge space saver. Pants and other items as well.
Back in Basic in the 1970's they had to be 6"inches wide or the length of a Dollar Bill. We didn't have a lot of time checking and rechecking, it had to be done as second nature. If it wasn't up to par, the DI had a detail to use them to clean the head. Good video !
6yrs old been doing for 6yrs thanks bro, clothes never wrinkle and stay neat save space in my home and on go mode
That's awesome, glad you've found this useful. Cheers!
Thx for this vid now my chair doesnt have a giant pile of clothes on it
I definitely need a Part II to this video to see if your T-shirt is wrinkled after a day!
That’s a good looking spring roll! 🥡🥢
Here after listening to MotorInc.
This is a great skill to learn!
This video has a good explanation than other 👍🏼
It's help me to fold my T as good as well
Trying this out after 10 years of the skivvy roll, I think this will be a better space saver. Quick cheat on setting the bottom flap: cuff it to where the second, lower tag that's generally on the left by your hip is just starting to peak out. See the tag, it's ready to bag.
With practice you can actually roll a whole Ranger up like this.
I've known a whole platoon to fit inside a suitcase.
Idk if you checked the folds enough man keep working
I've never heard of a ranger roll. Learn something everyday.
When I was homeless and hitchhiking across the USA this is how I did all my clothing. Really saves space in your pack.
No it doesn't.
@@captainchaos3053 saved it in mine.
@@JohnnyRaze99 no it doesn't. The volume of cloth is the same no matter what way you fold it.
@@captainchaos3053 Try it and you'll see. It's okay to be wrong, Chaos.
@@JohnnyRaze99 I have tried it. I have packed a bag or two over the years and found it only makes it harder to find what your looking for. Especially in the dark. I don't ever mind admitting when I'm wrong. I personally think the type of bag dictates the best way to pack. A t shirt can be folded or rolled to the same size. Anything with a zipper or full collar will create different problems and so on. In my day your kit needed to look fresh and presentable even when you been on patrol for the last 4 days.
This is a very helpful technique, thanks for sharing!
Yeah perfect for working on taco stands.
Dude, I’m a Retired 11B, served 1986-2009, we did the same in Basic and while at Duty Stations, guess the Army doesn’t do open drawer wall locker inspections every morning like we used to.
When you get bored with the meeting so decide to make a CZcams video while the meeting continues.without you.
Clear and concise bro I couldn't even get it wrong. Thank you very much 🐴
This is great. I've used it for years. I've also looked up and developed folding techniques for other types of garments. Each type of garment gets a unique shape. That way it's easier to store your clothes. You can do chaotic storage, because it's very easy to identify what you have. Going somewhere? Very easy to pack besides the laptop.
Care to share what the other garment folding technique/ videos are?
I started folding all my tees with the ranger fold technique and standing them vertically, so when I look down at my tees I see all the colours without having to dig under the tees only for them to not be stacked as neatly anymore. This technique makes me WANT to fold my clothes after I pull them off the line. I need more techniques so I can want to tackle all the rest of the garments from my wardrobe.
Chipotle people that's how you need to roll a burrito.
Bless you, sir! So helpful!
Very helpful, thank you for the video!
Always rolled my clothes working on the road. Now that I'm retired I finally learned how I should've done the t-shirts. Someday I might look up "pants".
i had my doubts but daym the finshed product speaks for itself
Nice and neat must be drilled into these guys from day one, every tutorial I’ve seen they all say it repetitiously. 😂 💪🏼
Sweet! Thank you for your service! 🤩
Hope everyone has a nice trip
This is better than what we did in flight school but it really brings back memories so thank you.
Absolutely useful
Thanks man. Now my drawer can look really neat
Thanks for this video! I’m trying to pack away all my clothes and Christmas gifts before I go back to college 😂
Nice job gran.
VERY helpful, thank you so much
Cool method
This is an excellent skill to have for travel. My only issue is that, because everything is rolled up small, more stuff fits in my suitcase making it super heavy to lift in and out of the car. 😂
and they pack away really nice
Now i have idea for packing our cloths for trip. Thanks for sharing this video. Godblessed po❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was looking for something ti extend the time it takes for me to fold my laundry! Thanks
I fold my t shirt and i feel proud on u bro thanku for teaching us❤❤❤
I had like 3 bins of shirts in my house now I have less than one very useful
don't need to roll the bottom like that, just fold, 3-4 fingers width is usually good enough, face the front down, fold the bottom so it lips under the front, fold the arms like you did then roll from the top, you still enough cloth to hold it in place and still look neater without needing to double check and is a lot faster.
Thanks for the *Product* 👍🏻
Thank you this helped a lot
Thanks I wish I had learned this years ago.
This is way way neater than i ever did it. But did something very similar. I remember the first time we was going on long recon and the captain said "oi lads, all that crap over there is coming with" We all proceeded to just stare at that mountain of stuff and went like "nah... all that shit will never fit in the pack". It did. It really did. Using similar techniques.
Awesome! Thanks.
By the time he's done with one shirt, I'd be done packing a whole suitcase.
When everybody has completed this task give your freshly rolled t-shirt logs to cookie, he'll make a nice breakfast Danish out of them.
The military certainly does teach you ways to spend hours foldiung a f-ing t-shirt. I just recently stopped doing it the way the Navy wanted me to do it, and I think I've already saved years of my life! :D
I learned how to fold a skivvie shirt at RTC GRTLKS in 1969, I could fold and pack my entire seabag in the time it took this guy to fold one shirt.
OCD prön. I love it. I have to try this out.
Thanks so much for this
Cool! That would organize my shirts, but not allow me to see which print I want to display that day. Might try this for my next motorcycle trip though since I will only bring a few shirts with me.
Very nice...I LIKE!!!
Thanks this helped alot
more time has been spent folding this tshirt than my parents did on my entire education!
Useful when packing for trips.
Thank you!
I washed, dried and folded my laundry during this video.
P.S. it actually is a nice tight roll!
wow this was great
That's exactly how I have Chipolata roll my burrito
"chipolata"
Ranger roll? Never heard it called that when we did that way in Army basic training in early 1970s. We rolled issued boxes briefs the same way. Primarily for inspections but works well for stuffing 'em into a duffle bag.
Love it!
Great video…Thanks…
Cool soundtrack.
Super helpful thx
Thanks 🙏
Thank you
Thanks man
I roll all my shirts, but roll the opposite way so I can see what type print shirt it is.
My father was a military career man he showed me how to roll and pack
Evidently this guy has all day to fold laundry
I wonder if he would be just as patient and slow if he was in a trench and had mortars dropping around him. "Hang on Sarge let me finish folding my T-shirt........"
But he didn't do what I was expecting/hoping for: There was an already rolled shirt on the table. I'd hoped it had been rolled for a day or two and I'd want to see it unrolled to see if it was wrinkled.
(You can do the experiment yourself.)
I folded ALL my laundry and put it away while watching this time saving technique.
The great thing about the military, is all the the transferable skills. Young man, The Gap is calling.
Nice
Wow beautiful
Bless God for coming this video!
That's super useful under fire.
i learned how to do this with the shirt on and my D.I. gave me a gold star on the way to the hospital
