Hi Everyone,
Does anyone out there own a Nanok 4 season Golden Eagle sleeping Bag from Rm site.
I would like to know how to the Fold and pack the sleeping bag back into its own cover and is there another easier way to do that. As i am having great difficulty in doing so. Thanks.
Any help with pictures is much appreciated.
The interceptor boy.

Hi
The trick is as with most sleeping bags is not to fold it, just stuff it in! The stuff sack supplied with the Golden Eagle is quite tough, it won't break.

Most sleeping bags I find have been neatly rolled and inserted into their carry bags originally but when you go to put them back you can never do it. Reason why? They use a vacum system so make it small to get in the bag when rolled. It's not something you have to hand out in a wood so make it really difficult to emulate the packing.
What I do is just stuff it all into the bag and then just compress it down with the straps on the side. Then when I get home I get it out and hang it up til I need it next time.
You'll probably just have to do the same and forget about a neatly rolled sleeping bag in it's bag.

I agree with that. They supply a "Stuff" sack, so just stuff it back in and then compress it.
I agree with the stuff it ! also a good kneeing helps too.
I go for the squat and squash approach myself ;)

I use a Nanok -10 and replaced the original stuff sack with one from decathlon,the extra large size takes the bag nicely.
These stuff sacks have a one way valve so you can force air out of the sack. (simulating he vacuum packing they use in manufacture?)
This means I can compress and shape the bag to fit into my pack, and keeps it dry.
