Is it better to air out your sleeping bag every morning or just leave it stuffed? I found something that changed my mind.

I always thought you had to air out your sleeping bag every morning to prevent moisture buildup. But last weekend on a 4-day trip in the Smokies, I tried just leaving it stuffed and rolling it up tight the whole time. Honestly, it stayed just as dry and took way less time packing up. Now I'm wondering if all that morning airing was just a waste of energy. Has anyone else tested this and seen a difference in bag performance?

You aired out a sleeping bag every morning for years and never thought to test it sooner?

Hear me out, but when you grow up doing something a certain way you just don't think to question it. It sounds silly now but habit can really blind you to the obvious.
