So this is going to be a total noob question, but I am about to head out on a trek with my new WM Ultralite, and I read in a number of places on this site that many of you stuff your sleeping bag in a trash compactor and put it in the bottom of your pack, letting it self compress with the rest of your gear on top.
So, I have been fiddling with that, and I must be missing something. The bag in a bag is huge and takes up a ton of space. Is there a trick to this? How tightly should I be folding up the sleeping bag?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
