The Best Solo Camping Bags Available
I agree with Jerry that these bags are the best solo camping setup available. Not only do you get a sleeping bag…. you also get a blanket, a poncho, a short coat, and a long coat in one item.
I’ve used these bags while camping in the original ECOTATs, Wiggy’s Freedom Shelters, a Dutch hooped bivy, and a Catoma Wolverine. The Freedom Shelters Bags are perfect for these setups (and I’m sure for hammocks as well) as the center zipper allows for easy in and out access. Also, the poncho and coat configurations are great for cold and windy days.
I love these bags so much that I’ve purchased all three versions that Wiggy’s currently offers as well as one of the original woodland camo ECOTAT bags that Wiggy’s produced for Marine Corps Colonel Dick Haislip. All four bags are of outstanding quality and the original ECOTAT bag has really stood the test of time. After decades of use and compression it’s still like brand new.
A stroke of genius invented these multifunctional bags and expert workmanship and quality components have made them multigenerational. I fully expect that my son will still be using these bags long after I’m gone. These bags are investments.– Alex Cain

The World is Changing
The first comment I will make is that the USA, the country I was born into in 1941 at the start of World War two, is not the same country I am living in today nor has it been for quite a while. Having said that I want you to know that I have decided to [...]
effusivity
Outlast’s new testing technology proves cooling boost for brands, “except it is a deceptive lie!!!” I added the extracomment. 19/03/2025 Temperature regulation solutions provider Outlast Technologies [outlast has no solution to accomplish temperature regulation] has published results of testing that show by adding its technologies to fabrics,[which is micro encapsulated paraffin balls] effusivity [in all of my years [...]
reinvent the wheel?
THEY WANT TO REINVENT THE WHEEL Jerry, I enjoyed reading your “Wiggy’s News and Commentary” about the Canadian Military and their chuckleheads trying to reinvent the wheel, or change some laws of physics I guess!! Being retired USAF aircrew I do not claim to know everything there is to know about sleeping outside on the [...]
shipping to alaska
IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION FOR ALASKANS I have recently had the opportunity to get involved with shipments to Alaska. When we use Federal Express, the service is faster and the cost of one of our Antarctic bags is about $90.00 versus $150.00 via USPS. The downside is that F.E. does not go to areas away from the cities such [...]
what if
WHAT IF? For weeks or longer a major topic in the news media has been tariffs. I have come to realize that tariffs are nothing more than taxes. If the US government adds a25percent tariff on all products coming from Canada that means the taxes already in place are increased by 25 percent. Upon being told that [...]
freedom shelter bag and arctic parkas
FREEDOM SHELTER SLEEPING BAG Windproof, Awesome Quality I recently took this zero-degree bag on a camping trip in the mountains of North Carolina. It only dropped down to 28 degrees Fahrenheit, but it was insanely windy…. so windy that the tops of the trees were banging together, and I was worried about widow makers coming down. I [...]
sleeping bags for canadian soldiers
CAN THEY DO IT IN CANADA? This has absolutely nothing to do with tariffs. It has to do with arctic sleeping bags. We know that a manufacturer provided the Canadian military with a sleeping system that proved to be in adequate for cold weather use let alone arctic use. We know because it was reported in the [...]
testimonials
TESTIMONIALS Mr Wiggy We recently purchased Superlight bags for our four pre-teen children as Christmas gifts. We used the bags during the ARRL Winter Field Day. Field Day is a twice-yearly event un which amateur radio operators set up grid stations to test emergency communications. At our location it was freezing all day and night temps below [...]
insult
An interesting conversation Good afternoon- Dave here, a retired combat veteran Marine and Federal agent residing on the Canadian border in NW Montana. I have used several of your products over the years and have been very pleased. I am now an outdoor writer, backcountry guide, avid hunter, trapper and test gear for many companies who value my [...]
