Sleeping bag back in the bag.
I've just made the rookie mistake of getting my new sleeping bag out of the bag it comes in to check it. Now its about three sizes too big for the bag and it won't go back in!
Any tips re-packing it would be greatly appreciated.

The fibres can be really squeezed flat - I think the factories do use a vacuum to reduce the size for handling, but the bag will 'loft' again when you take it out so you aren't harming it by squeezing it a lot.
It alwalys looks like the bag will never make it into the stuffsack, but you just have to keep pushing...
