“Are the staps on the bottom not big enough to hold your bag to the outside?”

“Take your bag and put it on the outside of the pack on the back. Get some cord or webbing or something, Rud it through the Ice axe loops on the bottom and then use the daisy chain to tie down the other end. That should keep it lashed to the back of the outside of your pack.
If that's too bulky then cram your bag in to the bottom of the pack and lash other gear to the outside. If your still not happy, Get a bigger pack or a smaller sleeping bag.”

“rub = run”

“i am not familiar with that pack, but i used to have an ancient backpack that had no place for sleeping bag.
I got a compression bag to stuff my sleeping bag into...they usually have D rings on one of the straps. My old backpack had d rings at the bottom so, i just clipped the bag to the pack. Does your bag have any attachment points at the bottom or straps? good luck”

“I have this pack, my 15-year-old son uses it most of the time. We usually put his Thermarest through the loops on the bottom and then stuff the sleeping bag (in a stuff sack) tightly into the bottom of the pack. It just fits the width of the pack and if it is crammed in there tightly it also keeps the sleeping pad secured well enough that it doesn't fall off.

If your bag is too big for that I would have to go with walkindude's advice (bigger pack or smaller bag), or get some of those plastic strap anchors (the ones that have slits to thread sleeping bag straps through)and sew them to the bottom of the pack. This is not easy, when I did this (for another pack) I had to poke holes in the plastic for the stitches with a hot needle because I couldn't get a needle through it any other way. If you're short this probably wouldn't work well because then your bag would be hanging down too low.”

“compression bag solved my big lofty bag problem too.”

“Granite Gear makes an *excellent* compression sack.

If that's not feasable, however, use the compression-style webbing available at any outdoors store. Anything other than the compression style will cause your gear to work its way loose.

My bro once tried to use bungie--big mistake! The bag kept bouncing up and down with every step, no matter how hard we tried to cinch it down.”

“Know whut ya mean tommy. My bag bounces if'n it ain't cinched down real good ....”

“His head bobs a lot too. LOL”

“HAHAHA!!!!
Yall krazy!”

“Thanks everyone I got it going good , my sleeping bag is too big to fit into the straps on the bottom so I just shuved the damn thing to the very bottom , it doesn't fit width wise but it'll do until I buy a smaller sleeping bag.”

“Cool!”

“naked ape--I DO NOT recommend a compressions sack for your purposes!!!!!

Though it would be pretty funny to watch.”

“Well, you ain't goin' out overnight in the Winter with such a small pack; therefore, it would seem most auspicious to downsize on the bag (e.g., TNF Chrysalis: cheap 'nuff iffn' ya look 'round, roomy, warm at 25, an' only 7.5 x 15"... don't take up hardly NO space).”
