Why Lamilite Insulation

Meet Missy
Good morning Wiggy, Here is a quick note to let your potential customers know the warmth of your products. I was out on the open tractor last week to clear some snow off the driveway. It's a quarter-mile driveway, very steep, and very exposed and it was about 12 to 15 degrees F with the wind [...]
slumber bag

Unfortunately, the product just limped along until a retired Marine Corps [...]
Dave Canterbury's YouTube Video
Incredible YouTube Video by Dave Canterbury, owner of Pathfinder Outdoor Survival School I do not know Dave, nor had I heard of him until five different customers sent me his YouTube video. I looked at it and found that he has given the best presentation of our FREEDOM SHELTER sleeping bag. But he has gone beyond that product [...]

EMBELLISHING Embellishing...make (a statement or story) more interesting or entertaining by adding extra details, especially ones that are not true. Unlike other companies who Over-Embellish their products, you are guilty of Under-Embellishment...prime examples are your "Sweater" and Nomex "Shirt jack". I've been wearing one of your Sweaters since 1999. It has been worn almost exclusively from September to [...]
