slumber bag
The Slumber bag...another case of Overengineering... I have been using Wiggy's bags for exactly 35 years this year. The first was a Desert Bag rated for 40*...used for just about all backpacking, camping and travel until 1999 when I bought a Nautilus...same 40* rating but much roomier....

FREEDOM SHELTER SLEEPING BAGS It has been many years since I solicited the military on a direct basis. I have left that up to the GSA contractors, but in the case of the FREEDOM SHELTER SLEEPING [FSSB]bags this newsletter is being directed at the military. I suspect much of the military reads them. The FSSB is a [...]
TESTIMONIAL LETTER
TESTIMONIAL LETTER Jerry, I mentioned that I would be writing endorsements of my recent purchases. Here it is.

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 [...]

sleeping bags a necessity
THEY KEEP GETTING BETTER I almost always sleep in a tent in the winter. Camp about every weekend. Last two weeks decided to sleep in the SUV. This allowed me to camp in some remote areas. Both were very exposed. It was well below zero F, with wind chills that were deadly. I used your Antarctica [...]
