It all started with a video on Facebook: Rolling up a shirt and underwear inside two socks. I can’t find the original video, but here is one. (It’s not the neatest, but you get the idea.) I was charmed! I keep a change of clothes at work, and this would be a great way to keep everything but the pants in one spot, although wrinkled.
It’s called a ‘skivvy roll’, but while searching for examples I came upon the Ranger Roll – the way that military folk roll up their stuff so they can pack it neatly. I cannot stop rolling stuff up – the Ranger roll turns anything into a cloth burrito.
See this? Napkin.
Here’s the nutshell explanation: Square/rectangle up your item. Fold bottom edge under. Fold sides in by thirds, making long skinny rectangle. Start to roll at non-folded end. When done rolling, grab the inside and pull the flap over the roll.
“Square/rectangle up your item.”

“Start to roll at non-folded end.”
“When done rolling, grab the inside”
“and pull the flap over the roll.”
