    BB Magic shrinking

    Hey guys, i have always been annoyed by how big the bb is inside its normal stuff sack(the one brandon ships with it). So i found a way to make it very small inside this stuff sack without the need for a heavy compression sack. I use dynaglide whoppie slings and they also stuff inside it just fine. It works just like a jrb stuff sack, but lighter and without the webbing/buckles.

    SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO

    I get it down to more than half its size before. its about 5inch by 4 inch i would guess. Works great. Just thought it would save some volume. It also only takes a few seconds to get it out. Made some much needed room in my pack.

    What about just getting a small compression sack?

    I like the spaciousness of it. It fits my tree straps, whoopie slings, my inflatable pillow and some other odds and ends that I leave inside of the BB when I store it.
    Not the guy to ask for Directions.

    Mine also fits all those things, but stuffs down nicely. i imagine if i had a single layer it would be like 4 inch by 4 inch!

    Good thinking, I'll try it. I wish my Traveler had a double ended stuff sack, I could probably get that thing the size of a softball.

    It's only an addiction if you're trying to quit

    Thanks for the vid. I'm a visual learner.
