I wonder which one would it be.  I'm currently using 3-lb semi-barrel 31F
(0C) goose down bag, and it barely fits into 8"x10" sack. I hang it fully
unfolded in a closet at home, - this is what manual recommends, and all
other sources recommend the same for down sleeping bags.  Pressing it into
nalgen bottle will keep it dry, but will shorten its life (or decrease
thermal quality), shrinking insulation irreversibly.
