If you don’t have access to specialized equipment, you might feel a bit deceived by major manufacturers.
After a thrilling camping adventure, the hassle of packing up gear is often the most aggravating part, especially when it comes to neatly storing a sleeping bag.
Though it might seem straightforward, it requires considerable effort and technique, or else you might end up in a frustrating situation.
This is not the case if you have access to the machinery used in sleeping bag production facilities.
On Twitter, a post featuring the process manufacturers use to package sleeping bags gained significant attention, with many users expressing feelings of being ‘cheated’.
Those feeling ‘cheated’ are likely frequent users of sleeping bags, as opposed to those who learned efficient packing techniques through scouting organizations.
More probably, they are individuals who spent a considerable amount of time unsuccessfully trying to fit everything in before partially conceding.
If you’ve ever been curious about how these companies manage such a seemingly impossible feat, you can see the process demonstrated below.
The video reveals two metal devices on the wall that assist in wrapping the sleeping bag while a factory worker humorously presses against it to expel air, ensuring a snug fit.
Following this, the worker bags the sleeping bag while it’s still rotating before removing it.
And just like that, it is neatly rolled and tightly packaged.
This video answers some common questions people have about sleeping bags, but it also left a number of viewers less than satisfied.
One individual commented: “Those cheating a** mother f***ers,” while another remarked: “These sadistic d***heads know what they’re doing to us.”
Although some made light of the situation, others expressed that the video clarified many things.
“Soon as I watched two seconds of this video, it all made sense,” one user shared.
Another added: “Now I know why I need to struggle for ten minutes to get it back into the bag.”
However, someone humorously asked: “Ten minutes?? Are you some kind of sleeping bag stuffing guru?”
At the very least, you now understand how sleeping bags are packaged, don’t you?
