newsletter #3
ISSUE #3 NEWSLETTERI published my first newsletter in January 1996 and now I am reprinting my March 1996 newsletter.BODYWORKS-HOW WE STAY WARM AND WHY WE SHOULD WEAR FISH NET LONG UNDERWEARIn order to keep warm, it is necessary to know how your body functions in the first place. Thinking that you know what to wear has in fact proven [...]
ridiculous
RIDICULOUS“Nike will earn a tax break as part of a deal to open a large e-commerce warehouse in Ontario, CA, according to a report in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.Nike agreed to locate and stay in Ontario for nearly 12 years, generating sales tax revenues for the city’s general fund. But Ontario only keeps half of that revenue. The [...]
awesome
SUPERIOR & AWESOME, I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHTSUPERIOR & AWESOME: Hunter Super Light (W Hood), Rectangular Sleeping BagTo my knowledge (and my opinion), Wiggy's makes the best sleeping bags on planet Earth.

a great story
A GREAT STORYHi Jerry,Thanks for calling me today. It is not typical these days to call to leave a message on how well a product has performed, (not requesting any return call) and yet have the owner of the business return my call. Yet, based on doing business with you over the last 8 years or so [...]
still the lie goes on
THE LIE CONTINUESThe following comments were taken directly from the September online issue of SNEWS OUTDOORS whose motto is “WE KNOW OUTDOORS”.

What he did foster [...]

INSANITY

Every year DLA awards a contract to a different company making socks for socks for the soldiers; why? because the socks received the previous year did not perform as described [...]
associations
ASSOCIATIONSI receive SECIALTY FABRICS REVIEW each month and the September issue is interesting. They have an article about some products made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 13 safe return to earth. The company making this stuff is Rumpl. They are located in Portland, Oregon. That is the headquarters. I doubt that they have a factory there or [...]
they just keep coming
Jerry,I'm always trying to get you to sell me something cheaper- so I will grab stuff on sale, but.... ... at the end of the day, I have never regretted buying any of your stuff, even at full price. I finally parted with my desert camo poncho liner, gave it to my former first sergeant, so I will be back [...]
an incredible testimonial
Dear Jerry,You've made an old man very happy. The custom Fossil Ridge hood is PERFECT. The outer snaps are just right for the L-12 liner; the inner snaps for the L-6 liner. It's difficult to find the precise words to adequately convey my depth of gratitude for the custom work you just performed for me. No [...]
