- How To Compress And Stuff A Sleeping Bag Without Breaking The Straps!
As simple as it sounds, most people break their compression straps due to lack of compressing their bag right! See more videos here: outdoorvitals.com/Care
In this video, we teach you exactly how to compress a sleeping bag down and fit it into it's stuff sack. We also cover how to compress the bag once you've fit it into its compression bag.
First, you want to fold your sleeping bag end over end until you feel like your rolling your sleeping bag up. While doing this you want to gently push the air out of your sleeping bag as to not damage the bag at the seams.
Once you have it rolled and the air pushed out you'll want to tuck it under your arm and get your compression sack ready. Push the sleeping bag into the compression sack making sure to get it all the way to the bottom of the sack. Once you've got it most of the way in you can start pushing a little more aggressively pushing the last remaining parts into the compression bag.
Once you have the sleeping bag into its sack it's time to compress it safely. To do this you need to use your body weight and NOT yank on the straps. Gently put your body weight onto the sleeping bag compressing the bag down. Once it's compressed with your bodyweight simply pull the compression straps gently to snug them up. This will eliminate breaking your straps and actually get the sleeping bag smaller and tighter than you could by pulling on the straps!
Now you are all set to go! Reach out to us if you have any more questions at any of the following!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your practical, easy to comprehend tutorial! I have ripped every compression sack I have bought. Now I see the mistakes I was making. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the time you out into this.
Was a lot of help!
Thank you my friend, this was very useful for me.
Honestly. In the first half we were like "why is this dude showing up how to pack a sleeping bag". But by 3:00 it was a game-changer. Thank you my friend.
Awesome video! Thanks for the tips, especially the last one.
Thank you for an informative video!
txk for the help!
That was a very helpful set of tips. Thanks for the effort.
this is so useful and helpful 👍🏼
Thanks! This helped me a lot
Excellent presentation, simple easy to follow. I cannot imagine why there are six thumbs down. What's not to like? I just purchased two 20 degree bags from your fine company, and am quite pleased with them.
Very, very helpful!!! Thank you, very much
Thanks that was wonderful
thanks for the tip.🤗
Great tip!
Good deal. Thanks
Kinda funny to see this pop up on my feed. His new videos are so much better. Also, I’ve always wondered what he looked like under all that beard.
Thanks for the tip. I was getting frustrated about not being able to put my sleep-bag into the bag.
I was thinking about this video.
Very good advice. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
thanks
THANK YOU for the tips! I'd have never thought of doing it that way. I can't believe I didn't rip the straps off my compression sack. Anyhow, it would REALLY be nice, if it came in colors other than...."neon green"! I know, I'm being picky
You're about to look like this again...can't wait for my LoftTek jacket!!!
Thanks😎😉👌👌
Nice video bro👌 useful tips✌️
Glad you found some value!
Ok thanks. i forgot to ask about the comfort rating on this bag and fill power. Do you ship to Europe?
in the Marine Corps our sleeping system included a winter sleeping bag, and summer sleeping bag, and a gortex outer shell. all zipper connecting to each other plus the compression sack
MSS (Military Sleep System) Awesome piece of kit!
I have never had a problem just stuffing the bag into the stuff sack. I find the free form stuffing aids the compression into a ball rather than a kink.
thanks for the video, question - if the sleeping bag doesn't come with a sack, what size compression sack do I use? thanks
very nice tip to use the body weight, thanks dude
Do Outdoor Vitals sell compression sacks separate from the bags?
what size compression bag do you recommend to compress further for bikepacking?
what kind of compression sack i could you use for a kelty tuck 0F slepping bag?
Really nice video, learned some stuff I didn't know.
I've a question about the compression sack, how do I know which size of compression sack do I need for my sleeping bag?
Mine is just rolled in the regular stuff sack that came with it, nothing fancy.
The sack that came with the sleeping bag is the compression sack!!
Every other video I've seen simply shoves the bag foot bed first into the sack that way it guarantees all the air is taken out + it goes in A LOT easier than trying to roll it up.
I always unzipped the foot end of the bag about 6" to 8" and stuff from the head end first that way you have the smallest end of the bag to stuff last.
I bought myself a Aleutian sleeping bag from north face I can't find a way to make it fit in my backpack ( my backpacj is a gregory baltoro 85L)
Thanks....the suckers should have straps for the bag... That was a workout
I bought one of your top quilts, 0 degree. How long should I leave it compressed. I’m going on a backpacking trip next week and was gonna go ahead and pack up. Should I wait or is it ok now to go ahead and put it into my pack
It's best to keep sleeping bags and quilts uncompressed as much as possible. You probably won't cause much harm by having it packed up a week early, but it may take more time to loft up when you are on the trail.
Hi. what Ltr compression sack are you using on the video. Looks a good fit for the sleeping bag. Thanks
That compression bag is the one that comes with the sleeping bag when you purchase it! If you still would like to know liter size, let us know.
hi. yes I would like to know the Ltr size please thank you
@@TaysonWhittaker what bag is this? And do yall still sell it
Where can I buy that sleeping bag from what Brand
This is an old version of our Summit bag.
Thanks a lot! I was nothing away from giving up and just takes some wool blankets instead lmao.
Makes it looks so easy... My bag must be really great - it just springs back immediately after smushing. It is a 0 deg rated bag, so that's probably a factor.
Enfant d'Omelas same,it's very annoying
Trekking and it's material are difficult to handle
How many liters is that compression sack?
cool
@@sarawilliams4709 hi
I TRIED TO FOLD MY SLEEPING BAG LIKE YOU SAID AND I BROKE THE STRAP!!!!!
How much is this down bag and have you others that compress down small like this one. Also I don't want to spend big money ;)
Great questions,
All of our sleeping bags come with a compression sack, and compress nicely. This particular bag is sold on our site for $169.98. That's lower than you'll be able to find that through retail. However if you're still looking for something on a tighter budget, we have bags starting at around $50. www.outdoorvitals.com

I lost my stuff sack, now what do i use?
Dangerous Cult Leader you can just buy a stuff sack online, they sell cheap on Amazon
Roll it up loosely and then put a band over it then put it into those grocerie bags. This is if u are desperate for a quick fix
I heard you aren't supposed to roll it at all and stuff from bottom to top of the bag into the compression bag. Is there any truth to this? The lady told me it breaks down the inside if you roll it.
+Christopher Aspelin if you where simply tightening the bag as sight as possible all the way from the bottom to the top (rolling) there could be a big more stress on the seams. However, I don't think it's an issue we have ever seen and I wouldn't worry about it. But rolling takes longer than simply folding in half and studying it in that way...does that help?
You have a very aggressive autocorrect... haha
+jasonroxorz yea my filming in the beginning wasn't the best!
+jasonroxorz yea my filming in the beginning wasn't the best!
+jasonroxorz yea my filming in the beginning wasn't the best!
he doesn't roll that bag up, dafuq?
Wait hold on, does this only work with a sickly snot-green one or will it also work with my gay Hello Kitty one?
idk man but your videso that don't exist are prettyyf fucking coool
It's called a cram sac not stuff sack !!! Lol !!
Wow, yeah! That completely changes the identity of the sack. Because 'cram' and 'stuff' aren't synonyms or anything like that... /s
Thank you. This helped a lot!
