THANKSGIVING TIME SALES
Posted by jerry wigutow on Nov 30th, 2025
THANKSGIVING TIME SALES
I am happy to report that the start of the selling season since the inception of the Thanksgiving holiday has been very kind to Wiggy’s.
We have received orders for a great variety of the products we make and from what I have seen the number one item has been our SUPER LIGHT 0-degree mummy bag.
We have also received a significant number of orders from people receiving the early winter weather of the HUNTER ULTIMA THULE [-20 F] and HUNTER ANTARCTIC [-60 F] bags to use in their homes in the event that they lose power.
For the past 4 or 5 years these rectangular bags have been very successful products for that purpose.
I have received many comments from the buyers that they are glad to know all of our products are made in the USA and also that all of our materials are free of any chemicals. I tell them I buy pure finish fabric which means after the dying of the fabric it is dried and that is it.
Every nylon product that is imported has chemicals on them regardless of the product.
I know every customer wants their order immediately, so we will start processing and shipping on Monday. We use Federal Express so if you live in the snowbelt of the country it may take a little longer than usual. We will email you the invoice which has in the body of the invoice the tracking number so you can follow its progress.
I want to thank all who have ordered for continuing to support Wiggy’s.

primaloft?
REPRINTED FROM TEXTILE MAGAZINE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER Keep in mind as you read this article written by the primaloft group is that every product they talk about is made from “chopped staple polyester fiber”.

UNDERSTANDING AYN RAND
Understanding Ayn Rand’s Perspective on Freedom Ayn Rand, the Russian-American philosopher and novelist, remains one of the most divisive figures in modern political thought. Her philosophy of Objectivism champions individual liberty, rational self-interest, and the rejection of collectivism. Among her many bold statements, one stands out as a succinct definition of liberty: “Freedom is the power [...]
tariffs
Ayn Rand’s Case against Tariffs By Allen Gindler In the annals of literary and philosophical provocation, few figures loom as large as Ayn Rand. Born in 1905 in Russia, Rand witnessed the Bolshevik Revolution’s assault on individual liberty firsthand, an experience that forged her into a fierce advocate for capitalism and personal freedom. Her philosophy, Objectivism, champions reason, self-interest, and [...]
the scandal
BLOWS ME AWAY That is the new basketball scandal. After high school I graduated in 1959 a friend of mine went to NC State on scholarship since he was a standout player. In 1962 I believe the collage basketball scandal was exposed and he was one of the players taking $1000.00 per game. His career ended. There were [...]

[Having looked at the picture of this new insulation I [...]

Subject: Re: Wiggy's News & Commentary › river runner Wiggy, From personal experience I completely agree with the comments about how your sleeping bags are the best and can save an expensive hunt due to rain and snow. I have purchased over 10 of your bags, multiple sweaters, mittens, socks and ponchos. There is nothing better to [...]
river runner
RIVER RUNNER BAGS The only bag for river runners. I bought my first Wiggy's bag (an Ultima Thule) 1989 and have never looked back. I own several bags in different temp ranges; these things are built to last. Recently switched from the mummy style bags to the more spacious, rectangular Hunter bags, for the additional wiggle room [...]
