A LONGEVITY TESTIMONIAL
I don’t text much but after reading your post about how long you have been using Wiggys, I had to chime in.
I bought a super light in 1990 and the first time I used it was on a ice fishing/ snowmobile trip. We slept in a tent, and it got to 35 below. I am still using that bag today (my favorite!)
RICH
I believe Rich means Lamilite insulation where he says I am still using Wiggy’s.
Using a 0-degree bag when it is 35 below, when it is a Wiggy 0-degree bag doesn’t surprise me.
Since Kok has taken up residence since my stroke, he has developed quite a garden and this year the tomato crop is exceptional, and he knows I am a tomato eater, so he has 5 plants, and they are producing way more this year than in the past. We are now bringing some to the factory.
My daily dinner is a tomato salad with whatever vegetables are available or just sweet onions, my favorite with oil and vinegar. Very simple.
I hope you have had a good weekend.
