You Might Have Been Packing Your Sleeping Bag Incorrectly

Quck answer

When packing your sleeping bag, make sure to follow these tips to optimize space and keep it in good condition:

1. Start by stuffing the bag into its stuff sack, rather than rolling or folding it.

2. Avoid compressing the bag too much, as it can damage the insulation over time.

3. Store the sleeping bag in a dry and cool place to prevent moisture buildup.

4. Consider using a waterproof compression sack for added protection during outdoor adventures.

5. Take out the sleeping bag occasionally to air it out and prevent musty odors.

By following these guidelines, you can pack your sleeping bag efficiently and extend its lifespan.

If you’re a passionate camper, you might have packed a lot of sleeping bags. However, how do you usually pack them? If you’re like most people, you probably roll up the sleeping bag, then attempt (with some difficulty) to stuff it into a bag.

As it turns out, there’s a much simpler way to get it done. According to @melissadilkespateras on TikTok, all you have to do is stuff the sleeping bag into the bag … no folding or rolling required.

“The bag you’re attempting to put your sleeping bag in is called a stuff sack,” the content creator explains. “It’s called that because the manufacturers want you to stuff it inside.”
