Unless you have one of these machines on hand, you will also likely be feeling a little cheated by these big companies.
After an adventurous camping trip, the most annoying thing tends to be packing away all the stuff, but nothing is more stressful and frustrating than adequately packing away a sleeping bag.
It sounds simple enough, but you need a whole lot of elbow grease, back work, and know-how, otherwise you are going to have a rather terrible time.
That is, of course, unless you can use the same machine that sleeping bag factories use.

Taking to Twitter, one user shared with social media just exactly how manufacturers package them - and well, it went viral online and people have said they feel 'cheated'.
Those 'cheated' people are most likely the avid sleeping bag users, not so much sleeping bag enthusiasts who went camping with girl or boy scouts and learnt how to roll, tuck, and squeeze it into the holder.
More likely, they are the ones who spent half an hour unsuccessfully trying to squash everything in before half giving up.
If you ever did wonder how these companies get off so easily, you can check out how they manage the impossible task below.
The video shows what looks like two metal crutches rotating on the wall that help wrap the sleeping bag while, quite amusingly, a factory worker presses their body against it to help squeeze out any air - keeping it tight.
The factory worker then must bag the sleeping bag while it continues to spin, before taking it off.
And just like that it is tightly rolled and compactly packaged away.
It certainly clears up a few questions that people may have had about sleeping bags, but it left a handful of people unimpressed, to say the least.
One person took to the platform to say: "Those cheating a** mother f***ers," while another quipped: "These sadistic d***heads know what they’re doing to us."
But as many joked, others stated just how the recording explained so much.
"Soon as I watched two seconds of this video, it all made sense," one user commented.
Someone else added: “Now I know why I need to struggle for ten minutes to get it back into the bag.”
But another joked: “Ten minutes?? Are you some kind of sleeping bag stuffing guru?”
Well, at least you know how 'they' package sleeping bags now, I suppose?
