    How to Pack Sleeping Bags

    Hi - Pardon the question if you will ..just curious really.  When I see images of soldiers with their rucksacks it looks as if whatever is in the compression bag takes up about 1/3 of the load. What the heck is in there, and is there anything commercial that you are aware of that would...
