  • 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!

    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.

    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.

      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.

      @@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.

    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.

      Breaking down the civilian and building back up into a soldier and that requires discipline and being able to do some tedious crap under major psychological pressures and time constraints. That discipline and critical ability in training is part of what allows you to keep your wits about you and get stuff done even when there is utter chaos around you. Like the difference between a person who sees they're about to get in an accident and just panics and slams on the brakes only to get rear ended and slam into the vehicle in front of them, and someone who sees they're about to get in an accident and they still try their best to see a way around it and tap the brakes, steer around it, and then wipe their head in a sigh of relief after clearing the danger.
