If you are on an overseas adventure but don't want to pay extra for heavy luggage that you need to store, this military trick will help you add it to your cabin bag. This tip comes from a YouTube channel of a former US military member who posted under the name Army Gringo.
First, place the shirt flat on the table or bed, turn the bottom of the shirt over and roll it about 2 inches above. Make sure it is completely flat so you don't lose valuable space. Take one side of the shorts, fold it in the center, and fold the sleeves outward. Your shirt should be about 6 inches wide. Roll down the collar as tightly as possible to save space and keep it clean.
Once you reach the bottom, you can roll upward sections onto the rolled items to keep them safe.
