Here is a question that I have never given much thought to before. Perhaps that means that it is not a worthy question but here goes:
When you are stuffing a sleeping bag in a stuff sack, should you pack the sleeping bag zippered or unzippered? Is there a recommendation?
For years I think I have stuffed my sleeping bag in the stuff sack with the lower half zipped up and the upper portion unzipped. I got wondering recently if packing the sleeping bag zipped up (entirely or partially) might put too much pressure on the zipper and cause it to break, although that is never happened to me. I don't recall ever seeing a recommendation on this and am wondering if my practice is correct or not.
Thanks,
Lyman
