My Adventure Unfolded: How I Mastered the Army Roll to Travel the World/我是如何使用”军队卷”来整理各种衣物的

My Secrets to Packing Light and Exploring the Globe for 3 Years Straight!

Some of my friends asked me how I was able to travel the world for three years with nothing but a backpack. One crucial trick I shared with them is the “Army Roll” method for efficiently packing clothes. This article demonstrates how to master this technique.

This method works in any situation, no special environment needed. For example, all the videos here were filmed in a shared hostel dormitory in El Salvador.

How to Fold a Shirt:

1. Lay the shirt flat and fold the bottom part inward about 2 inches to create a small cuff. Smooth out any wrinkles. 2. Fold one-third of the shirt’s left side inward, then fold the sleeve back over itself. Repeat on the right side. Flip the shirt so the collar is facing you. 3. Start rolling the shirt tightly from the collar down. Smooth out wrinkles as you go. Keep the roll tight. 4. Once rolled, there will be a small pouch at the back. Grab it and wrap it around the rolled shirt to secure it in place.

How to Fold Pants:

1. Zip up and button your pants. Lay them flat with the waistband on top. Fold the waistband inward about 7 centimeters to create a cuff. 2. Smooth out any major wrinkles. Fold the pants in half, one leg over the other. 3. Start rolling the pants tightly from the bottom. Smooth out wrinkles as you go. Roll the entire length of the pants. 4. Pull the pouch over the rolled pants and lock it in place.

How to Fold Shorts/Underwear:

1. Lay the underwear flat and fold the waistband inward about 5 centimeters or more. 2. Fold one-third of the underwear inward, then cover the remaining one-third over the middle. Alternatively, fold them directly in half. 3. Roll the entire length of the underwear as tightly as possible. 4. Pull the pouch over the rolled underwear and secure it in place.

How to Fold Socks:

1. Stack the socks on top of each other, with the top sock staggered about 2 centimeters below the bottom sock. 2. Roll the socks up as tightly as possible. 3. Once rolled, pull the pouch over the sock roll and lock it in place.

我是如何使用”军队卷”来整理各种衣物的

有朋友问我如何用一个背包在全球旅居3年。其中一个很重要的技巧就是使用“军队卷”来打包衣物。这个视频就展示了如何折叠一件衬衫。

本技能适用于任何情况，不对环境有特别要求。比如这个视频是在萨尔瓦多的一家青旅共享宿舍拍摄的。

如何折叠衬衫

1. 先把衬衫摊平，然后把底边往内翻个2英寸，形成一个小翻边。用手把大皱褶都抚平。
2. 把衬衫的左边1/3往里折，然后把袖子再往上折回去。右边也是同样操作。然后把T恤转过来，领口对着你。
3. 从领口开始，尽量把衬衫卷得紧紧的。一路上卷整个衬衫。边卷边抚平皱褶。保持卷得紧一点。
4. 现在卷的后面会有个小袋子。抓住那个袋子，把它绕过卷起的衬衫，固定住。

如何折叠长裤

1. 拉上拉链，系好裤子扣子。裤子平铺，腰带部分在上面。往内翻个约7厘米，形成一个翻边。
2. 把大皱褶都抚平。裤子对折，一条裤腿叠在另一条上面。
3. 从下面开始，尽量紧地把裤子卷起来。一路上抚平皱褶。卷整条裤子
4. 把形成的袋子套在裤子上，卷起来固定住。

如何折叠短裤/内裤

1. 把内裤摊平，将腰带往内翻出约5厘米或更多。
2. 将内裤的1/3向内折叠。将剩下的1/3覆盖在中间。或者就直接对折。
3. 尽可能紧地将整条内裤卷起来。
4. 将袋子拉过内裤卷，固定在位置上。

如何折叠袜子

1. 把袜子叠放在一起，上面的袜子向下错开大约2厘米。
2. 尽可能紧地将整双袜子卷起来。
3. 将袜子卷起来后，拉上口袋把它固定住。
