How do you get the sleeping bag back into the stuff sack? I bought is and we can't get it back in.

Use your both hands to hold the sack and push the sleeping back into it with your foot..

I may sound like somewhat of a smartass saying this but, the reason it's called a stuff sack is because you're supposed to put one end in the sack and start stuffing the rest in until it's all there. If you try to roll it up and then place it in like it comes from the factory it just wont fit unless you can compress it and roll it up as tight and unrealistically perfect as they do.

Stuffing it inside is a little bit of a pain, but I think i ll get used to it if I do it couple more time. You cannot roll it back in (unless you have 3 other people to help). You should be able to "stuff" it back in.

I get mine out in it the bag. Its a struggle sometimes but it works best to have someone holding the other end so you can roll it extremely tight.

Rachelle, we just bought a backpack for the bag and my son rolled it up. He used it with his eno hammock. It all fits nicely in the backpack and he grabs it and walks out the door. I didn't bkther with the stuff sack, too many people said it didn't fit. Hope this helps.

How small is the package when you have it properly packed? Could you attach it to the bottom of a 3 day bag like the vultureII?

yup. my way is to stick the foot end down into the bottom of the stuff bag and then, well you stuff the rest of it in afterwards. There are no rewards, badges, etc. for folding it up nicely into the bag.

Richard,There is a spring/band/hoop that is located, or mated up to, a groove in the metal portion at the top of the plastic bag. You need to push in on a smaller area of the bag near the top and try to get the hoop/spring separated enough that you can then get the hoop/spring and bag separated from the metal ring portion of the dust collector. Good luck...it's also a challenge to get the hoop/spring & bag back in place.

hello! yes I did. There are the instructions stamped on the back...press the small (don't know the name) and WITH THE OTHER HAND (it's impossible to do it with the same one) pull out the compartment. It has to work! ;) bye

I was wondering that too before. Put both zippers together and just zip down with them at the same time. It might take a few tries, but I got it without trying once and thought I broke it.

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.

Hi there's a draw string with a little friction line lock so you can pull the opening closed and carry it with the string kind of like sleeping bags have.

How I did mine probably won't help you. The bag's original strap snapped into the bottom connection. The part that broke was the strap piece. The bottom piece was still intact and I could thread the new strap into that.

Screw the pices that have threds on them, they form the handle, push the plastic locking key thur the only hole it fits into, make sure the blue thing with wheeles, you just screwd the handle into is attached to it. Now take the bag and attach it to the biggest hole on the other blue thing. The only piece you should have left is to attach to the water hose. Its a simple push and release system. Easy peasy. Evey thing is awesome!

I tried to stuff it into this one (small), and it was way too roomy for it. It really does fold down pretty tight.Snugpak Compression Stuff Sacks, Olive, SmallUPDATE: I've had some better luck with this thing:Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack,X-SmallStill a tad bigger than it has to be, but it cinches down tight and nice, you just have those straps dangling. The tricky part is folding and rolling the bivy such that it fits. The best way I have found is to make two lengthwise folds spaced evenly at 1/3 of the bivy's width (i.e. you fold it along the long edge from one side, then fold the other side on top of that), and then rolling that up. This gives you a roll just thin enough to fit in that sack. I tried to stuff it into this one (small), and it was way too roomy for it.

The Thomas part of the sleeping bag should zip all the way off. I've never tried to take other parts off though.

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!

That happened to me at the beginning. I just held it in when I picked it up. Then after it had been in there a couple weeks, it never tried to fall out again even without support. Give it a little time?

You just press the seal together - there should be a plastic tab on the top that you squeeze and run across the top. You sometimes have to squeeze hard to get the bag to seal.

I wouldn't bet on getting it back in the box. It comes in an air tight bag and once you open it, it expands immediately. I am sure you can compress it down considerably for storage, but I would be surprised if you can get it back in the box. It doubles in size once you get it out of the box.

We have this can, and *most* of the time it keeps him out (a mini-Aussie). However, even when it stays shut, he has managed to remove the bag (leaving the trash inside the can). He sometimes gets it open by pulling up on the back of the can. I've come downstairs to find he popped the back off with the lock still in place.Of course, it depends on what is in the can as to how determined he is to get into it.

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