How to stuff a Sleeping Bag for Backpacking

Tips for stuffing any sleeping bag in a compression stuff sack for backpacking: -- Stuff from the bottom of the sleeping bag. This helps trapped air escape from the top. -- Do NOT fold or roll the sleeping bag. It makes it harder to get it out of the bag later. -- Ensure all the straps on the compression stuff sack are untwisted to make it easier to compress. -- Apply weight with your knee to the top of the stuff sack and pull up on each strap again and again until it's fully compressed. __________ 🏕 See our entire inventory of rental camping gear: https://www.basecampoutdoorgear.com/rent-items 🏕 Check out our rental camping packages: https://www.basecampoutdoorgear.com/camping-packages 🥾 Follow us on social media! https://www.instagram.com/basecampoutdoorgear https://www.facebook.com/hi.basecamp 🌎 Southwest travel guides: https://www.basecampoutdoorgear.com/blog/categories/places 🌎 Southwest travel tips: https://www.basecampoutdoorgear.com/blog/categories/travel-tips __________ 👋🏼 About us We are a small shop in Las Vegas from which we rent high-quality camping gear to those seeking to explore the outdoors without having to buy thousands of dollars worth of gear or pay extra airline fees for heavy and oversized luggage.

Backpack - here's a video of how to adjust the backpack (skip to 1:34 for adjustment and 2:48 for how a perfect fit should look) - you don't need a tape measure! You can get to the right fit pretty quickly by trial and error.  

Trekking poles - If you need to tighten the screw on the locking mechanism, it's very easy. In the open position, use your nail or a house key - or a screwdriver if you have it - to turn the screw just an 8th of an inch and that should fix it. In case you've never used poles before, here's a great tutorial. It's long, but it's very well done. Skip to 3:50 for fit, 4:30 for how to use the strap, and 5:40 for using the poles

 

RatSack - to minimize encounters with rodents, you should first put your food in a stuff sack (squirrels recognize food packaging), put that in the ratsack, and then hang the ratsack. The beauty of these bags is that you can simply hang them at arm's reach. You don't need to create an elaborate pulley system 100ft in the air! It works best when suspended because animals have a hard time balancing on it and they can't drag it away.
