Backpack/Sleeping bag.
So, I got a 75 litre backpack today, and I was just wondering, how do you attach a sleeping bag to the bottom? Putting it inside the backpack is not an option.
In the middle front(in the bottom) there's two stretchy ropes that are circles.
So yeah, can anyone help me?
Here's a picture:

As mentioned before, you can use a few bungee cords or ropes to tie the sleeping bag onto those stretchy rings. Another option would be to roll it as tight as you can and put it in its stuff sack, and clip it in with the two clips that go over the pouch at the bottim of the bag. I have a similar bag, and that's what I always do.

ammo... haha, I've had to dump my sleeping bag in favor of more ammunition on last year's campaign on several occasions. it sucks, but an extra four hundred rounds of machine gun ammo can mean the difference between a shallow grave in a soon forgotten battlefield, and making it home. well, at any rate, keep the new style sleeping bags in mind, I have one that weighs about eight ounces and is good to forty degrees. they're not expensive, so look into them if you're looking for a new one. if I had mine last year, I wouldn't be refering to my missions last march as "Operation shiverfest 2008"
depends, make sure you have a good stuff sack to tighten it down and try the loops on the bottom, theres always parachute cord and bungee cords if it doesn't work. also, look into a high speed sleeping bag at rangerjoes.com
some of those things will actually shrink to the size of a softball, making it an option to carry them in the bag. unless the bag's full of dismembered body parts and trowels. or you could just man up and not take a sleeping bag, ammo is much more important, and thats what friends are for.....

Every time I've seen a sleeping bag attached to a backpack it's at the bottom within the two loops. You'll have to roll your sleeping bag really tightly to fit it in there, and possibly buy another one that is more compact in order for it to fit.

I've been backpacking many a time, and was/am in Boy Scouts for many years...
Anyway. You might have to buy a few bungee cords. The small ones, not the large ones.
Make sure you can wrap the bungee cords around your sleeping bag. If you do that, you can run the cords through the two stretchy ropes, and it should suspend from the bottom.
Hopefully that works, that's what I did for mine back when I hiked part of the Appalachian Trail like four years ago.
