I'm going to Ft. Knox this week so on the trip down there I'm going to look for a good outdoors store and get a slightly larger stuff sack and use the tips you guys gave here. The stuff sack Mont Bell provided has some bad stitching so I may as well get a new sack. The bag is very small and light and I will probably be strapping the sleeping bag to the outside of my Kelty so getting it as small as possible is not neccessary.

Just as an aside, my new sleeping bag, tent, jacket and pants together weigh the same as just my old sleeping bag. The new stuff is 4 pounds even, the old bag was 4, the old tent 4, the jacket and pants was 3, and then I save a good 3 or 4 pounds by using a smaller internal frame instead of the big external frame. I should have done this years ago.
