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.

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!

It’s like you were reading my mind! Not 10 minutes before you posted this, I had searched KZbin 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.

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 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! 😊

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.

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.
