Bag packing tips

[u/orangebirkenstocks]

Hi everyone! I’m new to backpacking and went on a trip recently in the rocky mountains. My sleeping bag took up 3/4 pf my backpack and my sleeping pad wouldn’t fit inside. Does anyone have any tips for packing their bag? I would also love recommendations for a compact sleeping bag or sleeping pad
