The only place I have that big enough to lay a T shirt out flat is my table saw...   ;D

It's easier just to curl it up in a ball and throw it on the floor

A much better one. She didn't even go step by step but I learned so much! Maybe it was the bigger, er, um, t-shirt?

It helps to have a nice folding rack.

I with you TAB on the no flat surfaces but this is so easy it might be worth clearing a spot. This may be need to know info to keep from becoming a bachelor in my case. Though if my wife starts thinking I think I know how to fold shirts better than she does than it just might backfire.  ;)

I thought this was going to be the video where he cuts the sleeves off first.

I lay mine on the bed and fold it in half lengthwise. Then I fold the sleeves over and fold the top half over the bottom half. Done. It's folded in quarters and will fit in my T-shirt drawer.

I know how to fold my socks and underwear too.  :) No rolling up socks since I got out of the army in '85.

My parents taught me how to help with the laundry at a very early age. I was helping my mom fold the sheets and pillow cases before I turned 5.

The Boy Scouts taught me to roll everything up so it travels well in a knapsack and does not wrinkle badly. So everything I have is
rolled up unless I am caught and told otherwise. We did not have ziplock bags back in my day.

Clothing - As a precaution, pack all clothes in large ziplock bags in case it rains. 
Some scouts will put together an outfit for each day  - lay out your pants, place your
shirt, underwear and socks in it and roll it up tightly.  Place in a large ziplock storage
bag.  Each day, simply pull out one bag.  If your backpack becomes wet from rain,
all of your clothes will remain dry.
