yes I have hawk 45l and would like any feedback on how others carry a sleeping bag on either the top or bottom of this model thank you.

You can use it on both top/bottom because you can extend the clips. Whatever is more comfortable to you. (I use top) Save travels!

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.

There are bungees on the face of the bag you could put a bed roll in, it might be too much weight for the little bungees for something heavier then that. I used them to hold my rain jacket and a sweatshirt while it was hot out. You might be able to get away with strapping the sleeping bag to one of the compression straps on the bag itself. But I have a 32+ degree sleeping bag and it fit fine in the bottom compartment then centered the tent up from there put food and other supplies to balance it. Hope the info helps.

I wouldn't really think so. Unless you are a hardcore backwoods adventurer. Those types may have a preference but I would imagine it would only be in respect to super cold conditions but this sleeping bag is more of a summer bag. For the average joe wanting to do a little camping and wanting to purchase good gear, I don't think the zipper side matters a whole lot.

It may be a little tight. I folded a king size fleece as a reference ( I didn't have a queen) and it didn't fit. If the larger bags aren't much more I would suggest those to be sure.

I slept in it @ 12 with another bag over it and it perfomed fine, the coldest i went with the bag by itself was around 24 and i did get a little chilled, but not cold by any means. Keeps you very warm around 30. With any bag you buy, its always a good rule of thumb to use 10 under your climate. ie- if you're going to be camping when it's mostly 40 outside, buy a 30 bag. Sometimes a good fleece sleeping bag liner helps as well.

Right now I don't have my bag out. I have it in the camping gear I am taking on the rafting trip. It worked out well for the rafting trip but I couldn't get all my gear into one bag. So I bought a second bag. I probably over pack But it is kind of nice to have come of the creature comforts on a seven day rafting trip.

It's a one size fits all sleeping bag, if you are 7 ft. or taller it may not work for you, but otherwise it is a good buy. the back pack is adjustable to an extent so you may carry the load better and more comfortably.

Well, to be honest, it's a hard call. It's a large sleeping bag and perhaps if you rolled it tightly, it just might be able to tuck underneath the main pack. I would go to a camping place store, see if they have a similar sleeping bag and ask if you can roll it up. :) Then get it on Amazon.

I cant be exact in describing the size of the sleeping bag compartment. However, any modern mummy bag in a stuff sack would have no problem fitting inside the bag. Personally, I keep my sleeping bag on the outside using the bottom straps. There are two of them which are perfect for holding the sleeping bag in place.

Is it possible to have a light weight sleeping bag for summer? That was my solution. I LOVE this bag!

Bookini, mine weighs about 2.5 pounds. You'd obviously also need to carry a pot and lid, and having some kind of cloth to line the bag is a good idea. (I use two dish towels.) The big problem is that it is VERY bulky. You can try to roll it up tightly, but it will take up a lot of space. I use my Wonderbag all the time, but honestly, for camping I think I'd be more likely to dig a hole and bury the pot in the ground, with coals on top, unless the ground was frozen. Rolled up, my Wonderbag is at least 1/3 the size of my sleeping bag.

I thought it was a bit bulky but a stuff sack might work. It's still an awesome sleeping bag though.

I last used mine this summer, but I remember there being a lot of extra foot room once inside with my partner. I am 6ft tall and it felt like I was swimming inside this sleeping bag. If you are tall and hate the size of average length sleeping bags I would highly recommend this sleeping bag.

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

The back pack has a separate compartment for the sleeping bag and I believe a small tent as you described would fit. As the pack is an internal frame, there isn't any obvious places to tie your sleep mat or anything else. There is some webbing on the top that can be adjusted that may do the trick. I used this to strap my jacket when I wasn't wearing it.
