Video Is the zipper on your sleeping bag or pack separated? Try this shit.

So, you just squeezed the zipper with pliers a bit? Pretty useful vid. If you hadn't said you'd already had success I'd never believe it lol
 
Seems to be a common problem.

Also, a little wax on a zipper is good for lubrication.

Thanks for posting.
 
i think most of us have been there. just one of the hundreds of reasons to always carry a decent multi tool, i swear they are worth their weight in gold.

So, the zipper on my sleeping bag separated, and wouldn't zip up anymore. I looked around the interwebs for a bit, and I found a solution.

SPOILER ALERT: It fucking works. I've already tried the method in the video, and now my sleeping bag zips up perfectly again.

Thank you mighty Viking Adventurer for saving the zipper on my favorite jacket. It would be very cold without my windbreaker.

Same for my sleeping bag! I was super pissed off at first, because it's a $100+ bag, and for something as simple as a fuckin' ZIPPER, I was starting to think I might have to find a new one.
