@Ray Francis: I remember our DI’s teaching us to make a PT Roll. Basically a T-shirt, PT shorts, underwear, and a pair socks which was used to roll it all together. It kept things neat, but it wasn’t exactly a space saver.
My dad used to be in the Military back in the 80's. He thought us these ranger rolls since we were kids and it has really helped. People are often surprised that we had only one suitcase each to carry on a long trip.
Thanks for the video. Just rolled my socks military style for the first time since basic and AIT training 35 years ago. It saves up space in my drawer.
I think this is a great tip for short term storage where space is at a premium. Rolling the socks up so tight put a lot of stress on the fibers and elastic. This will shorten the life of the socks. I think the modified square lock is the best, where the last step is what was done here--wrap the sock cluster using the stretch fold-over. But you can do it such that there's not a lot of tension and yet the socks will stay together. They also fold up flatter.
Thank you for the square lock pointer! > But you can do it such that there's not a lot of tension and yet the socks will stay together. I don't quite understand how you would wrap them without tension?
Thanks for the props! :) It's true, if you left your stuff ranger rolled for months and months that's probably not good for the fabric. But a few days or even weeks shouldn't do any damage. I've ranger rolled the same clothing more times than I can remember and didnt have any issues. I would usually rotate it within a week or two. The socks in this video are more torn up and frayed from a lot of PT and then countless laundry cycles than they are from being ranger rolled. Good luck on the trip!
To those struggling with these ranger rolls. I first saw this video this morning...I now done all my blankets, sheets, socks and underwear ...And I got one hand! It not this guys instructions that are wrong
He says that b/c the elastic remains under tension (slightly stretched) when stored this way. Leaving elastic stretched for long periods of time decreases the amount it returns when the tension is released and over time the elastic gets loose. Still good for packing/camping in my opinion though. Very good set of videos, thank you for posting them. I know how I'm packing for my canoe trip now!
Thank you. I appreciate your time and content. I now know to ranger roll all of my clothing. It makes such a difference when traveling. Especially on a plane.
Thanks mate for all of your travel packing hints. Now I have to work on my wife and teach her these tricks to downsize. Should be an interesting exercise.
I just fold mine into each other. They end up being maybe 10% more in size, but since you're taking 12-14 socks on deployments, the extra space of a sock is worth the extra time spent in regards to doing it bootcamp style. I never had patience with clothes and the less time I spend messing with it, the better it is for my calm.
I just did all my new socks this way. I washed them first, then dried them completely. I did 30 socks 🧦 in all. I like the way you think my friend 🤔 😁👌🏼
Interesting on what you call "Ranger Rolls". In my day (1968) at Boot Camp, all we did was roll up our tee-shirts, socks, and undergarments, according to some old WWII/Korea War days. We didn't even roll up our fatigues (OG Green), since we hung these on a hanger in our wall lockers, along withi Field Jacket, and our Class A/B uniforms. But I do like the idea of the Ranger Roll....
I'm a army jrotc cadet and Im on the raider team..this method is really good because I can use it for when I go to JCLC in the summer..thanks for ideas bro..hoah
I just did this to all my socks. :) it actually does look more nice than the way i used to fold them, i held the socks beside eachother then turn one inside out and they would stay together but it didn't look as organized.
Man I leave the country in 2 days to go on a mission trip for 2 months and after these videos I can fit everything into my suitcase I was wondering how everything could fit before
Thank you ever since getting with my fiancee I have go from being able to move at the drop of a hat to having more clothes than I have ever owned. Except I only have 1 drawer for my stuff as I moved in with her. All I needed at first 🤣🤣🤣 now I need less than 1 drawer.
I have rolled this way since I was in the Army with one modification at the end. If you make a fold of both socks (all layers of whatever you are rolling), then just roll your roll into the top layer of your fold you will yield an even quicker and neater result. I can roll any garment but prefer to use this only on socks, pantyhose, underwear and leggings on a daily basis. Note per difficulty: My mentally disabled child has this mastered. Just start by folding most items in thirds. For shirts, even t shirts, I roll from the neck to the bottom for more neatness and an unstretched neck.
LOL. We do the same thing in the Army here in New Zealand. I remember going through Recruit Course and the NCO screamed at a bunch of us for not doing it properly and that we made "Blow Job Socks". Fark that was funny. 😂😂😂
my OCD got to me at how one sock was longer than the other from the get go, then common sense told me it was probably longer from constantly being stretched over the shorter one to tuck it in, lol
Kondo is amazing. My closet is incredibly organized now (although I never got around to really chucking a lot of stuff out). But looking into trying this for suitcases, since those are different than drawers. Would love to see a size comparison for rolling versus tight folding for a suitcase.
You might actually believe it but this guy knows what he's talking about I was able to fit a whole outfit in a string strap back pack with ranger rolled clothes and took my shoes and ranger rolled jacket and used a fold belt to secure them onto the outfit pack how awesome is army gringo huh?
thank you so much. my boyfriend and I are moving and I wanted to pack his clothes for him and he always rolls his socks this way. but he is not here to show me so you definitely helped me out!!!! 😊 Thanks again man!!!!
All my clothes are now burritos. Thank you.

I was in basic training in 1958. Our NCO's i.e. non commissioned officers didn't show us this! Good one.
Ray Francis thank you for your service. I am enlisting very shortly.
Landon Shule did you enlist already or how is that going?
Thank you for your service Sir
I went to basic training last year and our NCOS still didn’t teach us this 😂

I just packed all the clothes I own into a pencil case.
Your tutorials are a blessing for travellers! Thank you! 😁👍
Omg. I wasn't taught to flip one of the socks over like that. It would have made things a lot easier back then.
Thanks for the tips!
Thank you! I accomplished my first 2016 goal to tidy up my socks! I like how neat they look now! Thanks, great advice:)
We are in the medical reserve Corps and this is very helpful for our gear and our 72 hour kits thank you :-)
is it still working in version 3.4
Erik Rodriguez from my knowledge it was patched in 3.2 but later added and an Easter egg in 3.3.2
I’m so annoyed that they patched this
Same here dood
Sorry to bother but I don't understand this comment thread ...
Plz anyone explain this random curious person.
@@PotionsMaster666 I know this don't helps you at all but... you are not alone 🙌
Just tried this method and it works very nice! I am a Garderen/landscaper and this method make me bring warm new socks for the winter.

since ranger rolling my t-shirts and socks i have more room to store that many clothes in my drawers, they are a great space saver
Thank you. I appreciate the support! ^_^
Ha! I remember learning this in basic, our drill sgt told us the "smile" would be our only friend. LOL!!! Ft. "Lost in the Woods," D 3-10.

Why am I looking videos where a guy rolls his clothes?
Haha I was just thinking the same. And yet I've watched four of them!

Your wife is making you clean and fold your own laundry and throwing it into a drawer does not let it all fit?
Packing for BMT currently, thanks brother :)
Very good way to roll the socks!
Amazing you saved my vacation man, appreciated!!

Very neat but it stretches the top part of the sock, making the elastic wear to fast: result a droopy sock.
Gloria Alleyne You have some cheap socks there, sir.
I like to roll each sock individually. Doesn’t have to stretch as much
Your socks are wild cheap lmaooo
Gloria Alleyne come on! Socks are cheap!
This is the universal way for soldiers to roll their clothes. It's fine.
My dad still does his socks this way. He was 101st airborne in the late 70s and early 80s.
101st (along with 82nd) my heroes since their amazing performance in the Battle of the Bulge. Go 101st!
O.O wow crap, you totaly made those socks into a toco! thanks for this vid, I'm going to try this :-)
Lol what's a toco? :)

Works great! I just did all of mine and my sport like soaks too. Did not have to have an organizer to place them back in the drawer.
Sweet roll dude.
This is so cool I'm going to use this for backpacking no doubt
