Anyway to keep sleeping bag attached to thermarest? Has anyone come up with a method for securing the sleeping bag to the thermarest so they stay together?

Sort of - Sierra Designs have sleeping bags with hooks for thin bungee cords on the bottom of their bags. Obviously these cords would go around a therma rest and keep it in place. Big Agnes on the other hand has a sleve on the bottom of its bags where-in you slide a sleeping pad. Neither solution though is for a bag you already have...

Not for my comfort level. I bought some of that reflective heat shield foil tape and wrapped it around some rock wool to create a little fire-proof insulated pad that I taped to the bag's heat shield. That would rest right against the exhaust heat shield and kept the bag protected. This was on a DR650 which had similar exhaust placement. Those bags didn't hold up to the beating I delivered crossing wisconsin on ATV trails either. They only lasted one trip (1400 hard miles). Could last years if you were very gentle.

I have never had that problem, however, if you are unable to remove the blood I would suggest you use a plastic wrap instead of ziplock, to allow it to breathe. I also do not place my Thermafreeze on the bottom of my bags rather on the sides. My freezer bags have a side gusset that holds them in place. Hope this helps.

I don't know why your having this problem. I have never experienced this issue. It can be stabilized though. Tie a rope around the frame and attach each end to the end of the wood in the hammock itself. I have seen this work for those that tend to roll out when sleeping in the hammock.

As previously mentioned it is right or left while you are lying on it. You should also be aware that unlike other sleeping bags, this one doesn't open completely flat. So I think if you have a right and left hand bag, you might be able to zip them together. I cannot confirm this as I only have two right hand bags myself.

You cannot fold the bag and put it back in. You will need to "stuff" it back in. This is what the manufacturer recommends doing and they have an instructional video on their website ( http://tetonsports.com/Sleeping-Bags/Mammoth/Mammoth-0.htm) showing "How to stuff a Mammoth Bag". Watch how he struggles also. It is really a Pain!

It stores well. I keep mine bundled under my pack where a tent or sleeping bag could go. That said, if I were to do it over again I would get an inflatable mat because I sleep most often on my side, and this mat provides nearly no support for that. May as well be sleeping on the ground, it is just an insulator.

I don't own this pack. I would suggest hanging the sleeping bag below (or strapping it above) the pack. The long poles for the tent can easily be put on the outside of the pack using the straps. So even if it does not fit properly inside, you can always strap stuff to it and generally that is what I do to preserve internal space.

There are little plastic tabs on the outside edge of the top support bar (if you put it together correctly). Just make sure the top of the bag and the string are hooked into those, then gently tighten the drawstring to hold it in place. In my experience the middle bag is the *most* secure attachment.

Well, with mine I wrapped it around the horizontal part at the base of the pad the headphones rest on, then tied it in a knot so it would stop falling off. It's been working out pretty well for me.

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

No not at all. I hear more noise from the sleeping bag than anything. The thermarest has a foam interior that is quiet and retains its memory quite well from my experience.

I use a bungy cord to hold it. Take the cord and wrap it around the bottom or the tour kit. Just spent 5 days and 950 miles last week this way

I have not tried to remove it yet...but I have a fluffy blanket in there for my daughter and she sleeps through the night - hope that helps. I will see if I can detach the headrest tonight (now I am curious)

There are several videos on youtube that will show you how to attach the molle sleeping bag carrier to the alice pack frame, that`s how I learned how to do it. I couldn`t explain how to do it, but once you watch the video you will see how its done. Its not that hard to do.

no. This is pretty heavy duty. I get a large sleeping bag and a small pad in it, and it is durable. I've been very happy with it.

Mine is put away right now, but it's not big enough to roll out a sleeping bag. Sorry I can't help more.
