mailin 0 #3 June 15, 2005 Take your time - seriously. At each step take a second to squeeze it down (without letting the S fold slip) and get the air out of it. I will hold it in my arms and squeeze the air out of it before I make the second S fold... then I put it in the bag from the side. May take a few tries but it works. It sucks to pack when its all hot and humid though JenArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #5 June 15, 2005 Getting it in the bag is easy. All it takes is a promise of sexual favors to one of the guys watching you struggle with it. Only downside is you may actually have to keep the promise... so be careful who you ask to "stuff it in there." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"It wants to be in the bag. It wants to be in the bag. It wants to be in the bag." Once you get the sincerity level up to the right point, it's easy.

yardhippie 0 #18 June 15, 2005 hey, just downsize! *ducks and runs for cover* no SERIOUSLY, practice. practice and more practice. be methodical about you pack jobs. eventually you learn what works best for you and your gear. Yes, it is hard work, but eventually you pick up speed and skill. Keep at it. Take a deep breath and think "next time will be slighly easyier".
