[pct-l] sleeping bag storage



Lets try it again

One thing that has not been brought up during the discussion of down vs
synthetic bags is storage.  Both type of bags should be stored
un-stuffed. Some North Face bags come with a bag the size of a 55 gal
trash bag for storage.  I keep my bags unrolled/stuffed under my bed.
Keeping a bag stuffed during storage is the quickest way to reduce the
loft of a synthetic bag. The down seams to hold up better then
synthetics and I base this comment on my treatment of my army down bag
through the 60s and 70s when I did not know any better.
