wiggy's birthday
THE DAY WIGGY’S STARTEDSeptember 6, 1988 was the first day that Wiggy’s opened its doors in Grand Junction, Colorado. Tomorrow will be the first day of our 32nd year in business. As far as I know that makes Wiggy’s the oldest sleeping bag manufacturer in the U.S.A. When I started, I had already hired Kok Bou as the [...]
winter gloves?

A Baby Bunting Testimonial
My baby boy sleeps like a champ (5 months, 19lbs). He sleeps with his elbows at a 90° with his fists up. He's also consistently moving his legs and uncovering himself. Uncovered, he wakes up because he gets cold. We end up waking up every couple of hours and covering him up. [...]

Worked great! Liner JacketWorking the cold oilfields, putting this on under my FR jacket gave me a big help in endurance and lasting more hours. I only got rid of it after cold season was over because it was too soaked with oil to look at any more. Just ordered a replacement, the Alaska Range Parka Liner. One negative: [...]
RECOLLECTIONS
OUTSTANDING RECOLLECTIONSHi Jerry, This post triggered a memory that I had forgotten about. When I was with Naval Special Warfare Group 2, we were out on a field exercise with our issued sleeping bags. We racked out for the night it was freezing cold so I zipped the bag completely shut and went to sleep. When I [...]
staying warm and dry
A TESTIMONIAL WITH AN INTERESTING OBSERVATIONJerry, you know that I have been a fan of fishnets maybe longer than you, from the early 70's. You also know that I'm always trying different things.Late last February after our record blizzard I had a bunch of snow to shovel. I knew I was going to get a late start [...]
