This is my first time back packing. Where do you put your back pack while sleeping? Does it just set alone on the ground?

Hang it under the awning of the hammock or place under the hammock to keep the dew off.

I build a small shelf with logs high enough to keep the backpack off the ground and put it under the hammock. This should keep it from getting the "morning dew" and my back pack has been protected from the rain for the most part.

I take it you are taking the cover off to open it. Lay on ground and wasbtop side off. When dry fold in half 2-3 times, and geg as much air as you can out. Then start folding length wise getting air out. Should fit in a trash bag when done.

I stuffed mine into the bottom. Even though I had to pull out all of my stuff first it was still worth it... at least compared to a Coleman pack

Like the others have mentioned, the external straps for securing just about any camping gear is possible. I personally like keeping my sleeping bag inside my pack to keep it dryer, cleaner, and secure from bugs. I have a fairly bulky 15-degree down sleeping bag that compresses down and fits easily within the top-lid pull over. Also agree its a great pack.

I usually strap mine vertically on the side of my pack. It is a great pad just a little hard to pack.

It lays on the top of the mattress. I put it under my mattress pad. It makes a world of change in my quality of sleep.

small enuff for a back pack. And PERFECT for camping!!(either as a primary pillow.....or sumthing to put between knees or under small of back for comfort)** what it turned out NOT to be so useful for was as a travel pillow when on a road trip/staying in motels: very comfortable but too small for that purpose. A real pillow, i.e. more normal size, is a better choice. LUV it tho'!!

I have stashed 'backpacking' sleeping bag in the pack with minimal clothes. Have not tried packing a tent into it yet, but imagine you could strap one to it externally. Or if you had a really compact tent (I don't), that may work.

I just roll it up and use a sleeping bag to keep it rolled up. It takes up very little precious space, and isn't too heavy.

I use them on my back...I have a t-shirt between my skin and the pack...so yes I would use them in a sleeping bag up against you with a piece of clothing between...

If you going to attach a sleeping bag to this pack, I use the four loops on top of the pack along with two cinch straps. Bag placement at the top of a pack is also important to maintain your balance. A bag at the bottom will have a tendency to make feel as if your being pulled backwards and will cause additional strain on your body when climbing inclines.

Joseph and Danny, when putting it back in the bag, don't try to roll it. Literally start with a corner and just stuff it in. Works much better. It's even reccommended on the teton website regarding putting it back in the bag.

Really, any question like this depends on what you're carrying. A sleeping bag in the bottom compartment, a 2 person tent strapped to the bottom, and a ground pad at the top leaves about 2/3 of the pack's internal volume for other gear. If you're overnighting (one or more nights), you'd have to find room for a second bag and pad. Assuming you strap the pad to the outside, carrying that second bag inside the pack doesn't leave you much room for clothing, stove, food, etc. You could strap the second bag to the outside (there are lots of loops), but you would probably have an unbalanced load.. Basicslly, the pack holds 4600 cubic inches. How much can you cram into that? Really, any question like this depends on what you're carrying.

I prefer a sleeping bag and a pillow. You could even sleep on top of the cot and cover it with a bedsheets and sleep as you would at home. After sleeping on a cot I will never sleep on the floor again if I can avoid it.

You put the sleeping bag inside this tent. I can fit my backpack in as well. Condensation can build up, so I take a towel.

It's designed to sit on (and it is quite high), not sleep on unless you want a high pillow for your head. If you have a low back problem, it is usually suggested that you sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees (to keep your lower back from twisting). Good Luck.

i have a Titon 65 internal frame and I think i have this same sleeping bag. it fits-only fits the bag-in the lower compartment of the back pack. I stuff it in as opposed to roll it up and then try to put it in the compartment of my Titon backpack. i haven't used the bag for sleeping yet so i can't talk about the bag's qualities.
