Rolling your t-shirts makes them space-efficient and prevents wrinkles when you are packing, and there's no better way to fold them than a military roll. What you get is a tight wad like a burrito, but it's a little difficult to master.
YouTuber Hector Cervantes shows the best way to do it using a simple apparatus: a dollar bill. First, fold the t-shirt in about 4 inches from the bottom. Place a dollar bill—whose six-inch length is great for rough measurements—in the middle of the t-shirt at the bottom. Fold in one side of the shirt with the sleeve out, then do the same with the other side and sleeve.
Take the dollar bill out and start rolling the shirt from the collar downwards. Make sure it's a very tight roll. As you are rolling, the sides will start to flatten out, so keep pushing those in with your fingers to maintain the 6-inch width.
Once you're at the end, stick your hand into the 4-inch fold you made at the start and pull it for the perfect military roll. Cervantes recommends using a hard surface for the whole procedure.
The military actually has other cool tricks when it comes to your clothing, such as the military tuck to keep dress shirts from billowing at the waist.
