Sometimes The Government Unknowingly Wastes Money

For the past 30 years I have been involved with the making and selling of products to the U.S. government. Most of my sales have been through intermediary companies that in most cases have GSA (Government Services Administration) contracts.The government generally has a bidding process, and quite often specifies the product. The lowest bid gets [...]

How The Government Works

RECENTLY I READ AN ARTICLE BY Stephen Moore chief economist at the Heritage Foundation “Governing right out of Atlas Shrugged’’ a novel by Ayn Rand. All who have read the book marvel at how it appears she predicted what we are living through these days.Now I will quote from his article; “The Obama administration had [...]

Down With Down; More Down Substitutes

Thermore, an Italian based company, has been in the business of making polyester battings since the early 1970’s, I believe. I just read in the latest email issue of Textile World that they now have, in their opinion, a new polyester product that is an alternative to down. They call it EVOdown. I am only [...]

A New Fangled Insulation From The North Face Company

Heatseeker™ Pro insulation. They are combining continuous filament fiber with chopped staple fiber. Maybe I should have titled this “the hair brained idea of people who have absolutely no knowledge of insulation for use in sleeping bags.”In the late 1960’s, TNF started making shingle construction sleeping bags and they sold very well. The fiber that [...]

Times They Are A Changing

In 1975 I started a company Olam Outdoor Products that made sleeping bags as I do today. I opened many retail accounts back then. In 1986 I started producing the Wiggy’s bags and in 1988 I changed the name of the company to Wiggy’s Inc. when I relocated to Colorado. During the time I was [...]

Do you have cold feet?


For years I have been writing about the lack of knowledge that companies selling sleeping bags have shown. They—everyone that you can name—have never bothered to study human physiology or the difference between the temperature at sea level versus 10,000 feet with respect to the lack of oxygen in the air. In addition to this [...]

Preparedness

Before the year 2000 started, people all over the country were preparing for a disaster that never happened. However, many preparedness companies started in business and many are still in business. Many more have sprung up over the past 14 years, which is a good thing. I know this because almost all of them write [...]

More About The Myth Of Down

For all of the years (now 52) that I have worked in the outdoor industry — first selling fiberfill insulation to the manufacturers and then becoming a manufacturer — I have been told, as has the general market place, that down (the under plumage of ducks and geese) is the best insulation in the world.

Did You Know? "Down Is Still The World's Best Insulation" Really? No!

DID YOU KNOW?"DOWN IS STILL THE WORLD'S BEST INSULATION" REALLY? NO!Recently I was solicited by a German processor of down for use in clothing and sleeping bag products that I make, only I do not use down. Having been on my web site and not seeing a down product should have told them something. This [...]

The Concept Of Waterproof Breathable Is Collapsing

The concept of a manmade inanimate object — in this case a fabric having the ability to be on the one hand waterproof and on the other hand, as the outdoor industry likes to call it, breathable (the proper terminology is vapor permeable) — is showing signs of collapsing. It is quite easy to coat [...]
