slumber bag

Subject: Re: Wiggy's News & Commentary › river runner
Wiggy,
From personal experience I completely agree with the comments about how your sleeping bags are the best and can save an expensive hunt due to rain and snow.
I have purchased over 10 of your bags, multiple sweaters, mittens, socks and ponchos. There is nothing better to be had anywhere.
My wife has stage 4 lung cancer currently in remission (we think from ivermectin and fenbendazole self-treatment). She has trouble regulating her temperature while sleeping. I purchased a rectangular slumber bag for her and I’m happy to tell you that she now sleeps 9 hours a night in total comfort. I convinced her to use it instead of many quilts and blankets. So now she just uses the slumber bag every night.
Thank You so much,
Rodger
Rodger,
Thank you very much for your comments. I certainly appreciate knowing how many products you have purchased from Wiggy’s.
But I am interested in explaining the reason your wife is enjoying so much comfort from sleeping in the slumber bag.
I suspect when she used quilts and blankets her temperature was mostly high because she was trapping her body moisture in the interior of her coverings. This necessitated having to lay them to the side to cool down. The slumber bag is made from nylon taffeta and Lamilite. The taffeta warms to body temperature and once equal to it, the nylon passes the temperature on to the next layer the Lamilite. At the came time her body moisture, still in a vaper state, moves also into the Lamilite and because they have not lost their heat they exit the top layer of the slumber bag. the end result is that she is warm as not clammy since her body moisture is gone.
This action takes place in all of the Wiggy’s bags at all temperatures. People have told me that they sleep, warm and wake up dry on numerous occasions. This is but one more reason that sets Wiggy’s apart from whatever else is sold called a sleeping bag, of course I call all of them “no sleep sleeping bags”.
Aside from our sleeping bags performing in this manner our comforters perform in the same manner.

I wish I had listened to my friend and bought these
We went hunting and he told me to get some. We crossed several streams he had to cross first and then throw them back across to me. This cost us quite a bit of time. We definitely abused them and they held up great. These are a fantastic product. I'm ordering mine for next year right now.

I own several bags in different temp ranges; these things are built to last. Recently switched from the mummy style bags to the more spacious, rectangular Hunter bags, for the additional wiggle room [...]

capitalism
Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" is a collection of essays by Ayn Rand and her associates that presents a moral defense of laissez-faire capitalism, arguing it as the only social system consistent with individual rights and human nature. Key Themes and Arguments Moral Foundation of Capitalism: Rand argues that capitalism is not merely an economic system but a moral one. She posits that it is the only system that recognizes individual rights, including property rights, and allows individuals to act in their rational self-interest. This moral perspective is a central theme throughout the book. 2 Critique of Government Intervention: The book critiques the mixed economy, where government intervention exists alongside free markets. Rand asserts that such interventions lead to economic instability and moral decay, arguing that true capitalism requires a complete separation of state and economics, similar to the separation of church and state. 2 Historical Context and Misconceptions: Rand addresses common misconceptions about capitalism, such as its alleged links to monopolies, depressions, and social injustices. She argues that these issues arise not from capitalism itself but from government interference in the market. 2 Essays and Contributions: The book includes essays by Rand and her associates, such as Nathaniel Branden and Alan Greenspan, covering various topics like the nature of rights, the roots of war, and the persecution of big business. Each essay contributes to a broader understanding of capitalism's philosophical underpinnings and its historical significance. 2 Contemporary Relevance: Although written in the 1960s, Rand's analysis of capitalism and its challenges remains relevant today. She discusses the implications of altruism and collectivism on society and the economy, arguing for a return to pure capitalist principles to foster individual flourishing and societal progress. 2 Conclusion "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" serves as a foundational text for understanding Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism and her defense of capitalism. It challenges readers to reconsider their views on capitalism, emphasizing its moral and practical significance in promoting human potential and freedom. The book is not just an economic treatise but a philosophical exploration of the principles that underpin a free society. Without CAPITALISM we cannot have freedom. From what I am reading in the news is that the US government is taking ownership of some private corporations. This leads to fascism. I read this book 30 years ago, it is relevant today, I highly recommend it.
