But first a testimonial. Reprinted from the comments section of his order.In Scouting for over 25 years -finally retired - remember lots of 0-5-degree nights near nekked in a Wiggy’s bag that kept me toasty all night in a summer nylon tent.

how to correct ongoing mistakes
SINCE 1968Since 1968 when I started selling the laminated Polar Guard the original Lamilite and conversing with Frank Calibrese the textile technologist at Natick labs I offered to him what I was learning.
