I would like to have seen a side by side comparison of folding v rolling clothes placed in the same suit case so that we could see just how much space is saved.

I've done a similar method when helping my husband pack, but I've added underwear and socks to the t- shirt. That way he has all his basics for a day in one place. Elastic bands are helpful for keeping the rolls together.

As a Army veteran you did a nice job. There are advantages but I find the process of rolling clothes more work than the benefit especially when traveling and moving from place to place. It seems to work better for initial packing at home before leaving but gets burdensome on the road. Having a clean flat area to lay each item out is essential.

I am glad you went over this! I'm ex-Air Force and my dad was Army. This sort of packing was a staple in our house. People are always shocked at how much I can get in a suitcase. I must admit that I enjoy all of your tips. Thank you!

I’m going to try this toward the end of August..

Ever since my first deployment in 2011, I've always used a loose version of the ranger roll for deployment/overseas contract, very effective way to pack for long trips.

I usually roll my clothes but I didn't know about putting the fold in at the bottom. Great information! I roll my socks and underwear normally so that they don't come unfolded in my drawer. I just started using packing cubes for my last airplane trip and it worked great. We were gifted a bottle of wine and a jar of honey on our trip and the filled packing cubes made great padding to keep the well-wrapped and padded bottle and jar safe in my checked luggage. Nothing broke and everything made it home safely.

Thank you for clearly showing this method of preparing clothes for packing. We live in a small home and I am going to use this method for storing off season clothing so I can fit more items in each container. And when it comes time to head for warmer climates this winter, my capsule wardrobe will be ready to go!

Great video Megan. I traveling weekly for work and use packing cubes but haven’t rolled my shirts or jeans using this army or ranger roll method. I will definitely need to practice before I go for my international vacation later this year. Hi Ollie!

Using these methods right now....this video has actually lighten my stress and got me to start packing.. thank you

When I travel I have used this method religiously. Yes.. I’m a holy roller.

I roll too but only tops. I'm plus sized so keeping them flat and folded in half takes less space.

It’s like you were reading my mind! Not 10 minutes before you posted this, I had searched KZread for how to Army roll clothes, as I was taking a few extra pieces in my personal bag on a plane soon and I wanted them to be tight, not floppy, in my bag, so that I could find them easily. Then I saw your video notification! Thanks for another great video.

Used to do the roll while in the scouts, and years later , in my early travels. Thanks for the reminder 👍😁💖

This is amazing! The size of my checked luggage went down quite a bit after folding everything as closely as possible to how you explained. I really only needed the space so that I could add more items lol.. Thanks for sharing!

I have not rolled with such a precise method before but you really got things into tiny packages

Wow, this video is a game-changer for travelers who struggle with overpacking or want to maximize their luggage space! I never knew that the Army or Ranger Roll method could make such a difference in packing efficiency, and I can't wait to try it out for my next trip. The step-by-step guide for rolling different types of clothing items is incredibly helpful, and I appreciate the emphasis on minimalist packing and one bag travel. Thanks for sharing this ultimate life hack!

What he said😅

My bf taught me these because he was doing it while he was in the army. Im glad i learned it as it comes in handy

I will definitely try this technique on my trip overseas. I have a lot of clothes to pack and one suitcase and a duffle bag. I need room for everything. Thanks for the tips. ❤

I'm a "roller" too. Was introduced to the packing method when I did a lot of backpacking (backcountry/wilderness) in the 1980s when I was in my 20s.

Hi Megan, I have been watching your videos for a long time now. I always find them well organized and very informational. Thank you for taking time to make and post them. Oh, and BTW - your hair looked very cute in this video. Keep up the great work!!

Going on a long motorcycle trip. Needed to pack smartly. Brilliant video, so helpful, thank you❤

You make it look easy! Thank you for the excellent video, I am going to give it a try.

Oh yes, brings back memories for me. We rolled everything in our foot lockers and they had to be perfect or else.

You do this much more neatly than I ever could. Another way to hold the result together would be with a wide strip of double-sided Velcro.

Definitely will be using it. Thank you, Megan 😊❤

I can’t believe 20 yrs of being a Flight Attendant I didn’t know this! And I had to pack for hot And cold weather cuz we were often reassigned! I did learn from my mom to fold socks w a flip over(which after a while stretched out the ends) I’m definitely gonna try this method! Took about 3 of your videos to get here. Love them all. Thanks so much!

Thank you, Megan! I realy had a problem just folding clothes the regular way & not making enough room & it gets cramped up. This was a good tutorial video👍🏽🙂👏🏽🫶🏽

This is so helpful! Thank you for showing step by step, making it so easy to follow. I’m gonna redo all my folding again for my holiday 😅

Great ideas for some items. I prefer a mix of methods. Your video is the best I have seen for the ranger or army roll method. Thank you very much for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️

More great info!! I’ll be using this method for our trip to Spain. Thank you!!!

Megan, I found this method fascinating! Never heard of it before. I’ll probably have to watch it several times to perfect the roll. Have a 2 week cruise out of Rome and am bringing a 25 inch and carryon so excited to try this roll. I do use packing cubes and love them. Thank you so much.

I will definitely give this a try! Just hope it works with larger clothes as well.

I’ll definitely try this on my upcoming trip as an alternative to using the hanging compartment of my suitcase. We have a few stops that are only one night, and I think it will be easier to get the next day’s clothes out without unpacking.

Thank you for offering a way to compact travel with “rolling” our clothes. I have traveled rolling and folding. For me, I like the folding and packing everything in compression cubes. Why? 1) As you demonstrated, it takes time and practice to get a nice compact roll for all of your clothes. 2) I have to unroll the clothes once I get to destination. And if I am going to several places, I spend lots of time rolling and unrolling my clothes. 3) With folding in the cubes, I can layer my clothes and mix & match faster and easier as I go. Just my thoughts. Thank you fir the video! 😊

That's not to mention that she is stretching everything out with that method. Those socks for instance will become unwearable pretty soon.

I just saw this one today and will def try it next time i fly! Ty for sharing!!

For Down and Fleece clothing, after rolling them, I use velcro straps from REI to further compress then before placing in my bag. By keeping the straps on the close you can continue to compress items even after using them.

Definitely will! Thank you!

Great video Megan !!! I'm learning a ton of stuff from you. Also subbed. Thanks for the video. Cheers also from Canada 🇨🇦 (Alberta)

I most definitely will be trying this tonight .

I roll too but just in a basic way. I did not know the various methods so now I will have a little more space in my carry on to bring back a souvenir or two. Interesting about the Air Cadets , its a very good but not well known program.

first, i have to thank both you and your sister for your service. i know you don't do it for the thanks, however, i know the sacrifice you and your family made when you answered the call to serve. second THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU (!!!!) for providing this video!!! i use a different/similar method but could only do shirts with it. now i can organize my hubby's socks and fold EVERYTHING neatly! thank you for taking the time to make this video!!

I use a variation on your method but I use gallon-size or larger Ziploc bags. I will put a day's wear of t-shirt & briefs together then Ranger roll them and place them in the bag. Press all the air out and pack after I mark what day that pairing will be. The funny thing is I got the idea of placing the day's outfit in a plastic bag from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. It happened when Vanessa opened her suitcase and everything was bagged and labeled.

All done packing, thanks!

I have traditionally used compression folded cases for my clothes. I used the folding insert to fold 4 shirts. The I rolled 4 shirts. The folded shirts took up the entire volume of the compression holder. However, by rolling my shirts I got 8 shirts in the same compression holder! I am now Team ROLL.
