Whether you want to pack the sleeping bag down for its smaller carry bag or you just want to keep it clean and make it easier to transport, rolling the sleeping bag is straightforward. Edit Steps1Lay the sleeping bag out flat. It's much easier to do this on the ground than on an elevated surface, but if the ground is wet, it is possible to do it on an elevated surface.2Fold the sleeping bag in half. Fold it landscape style or hot dog style.
3Start rolling from the end with the body hole. This is the end with the hood if the bag has one.
4Grab the bag firmly, then begin to roll.
5Roll the bag tightly. Tuck it under each time you roll. Stop doing this at the halfway point.
6When you get to the end, follow one of these methods:
If your sleeping bag has straps at the end, fasten them securely close to the middle about 3 inches/7.5cm apart.If it doesn't, have some rope handy and firmly tie it around the middle. A square knot might be good to use.Push the rolled bag into its small compression bag (many sleeping bags come with a compression bag suitable for carrying inside backpacks, etc.).7Pack up and hit the road!

Edit TipsWhile rolling does help keep your sleeping bag clean, be sure to clean the sleeping bag on a regular basis, to remove sweat, dirt and camping grime. Synthetic bags can usually be machine washed, while down-filled bags must be hand cleaned with special formula (in the bath is easiest), or dry cleaned by someone who is familiar with down cleaning.A sleeping bag should be left in a stuff sack or kept loose during storage. Keeping a modern down sleeping bag tightly rolled for too long will damage its lofting properties.Edit Related wikiHowsHow to Maintain a Sleeping BagHow to Stuff a Sleeping BagHow to Camp in the WildernessHow to Camp in the RainHow to Camp in Your BackyardHow to Camp in a Tent on a CampsiteHow to Stay Warm When Sleeping in a CabinArticle Info Featured Article
