suspending tariffs? i say NO!!!
THE SUBJECT IS SUSPENDING TARIFFSBut first the results of an experiment. Wiggy, I have recently concluded a thermal reclamation test in my thermal lab (my wife’s new LG dryer). I ran my fabulous Ducksback parka through the wash cycle and once it was washed, I put the parka inside the thermal reclamation device set at 25 minutes. After FOUR minutes, [...]
kudos for Ducksback fabric
MORE PEOPLE COMING FORWARD ABOUT GORETEX NOT WORKING AS ADVERTISED!!!!Hi Jerry,I totally agree with your assessment of goretex. What has always puzzled me was even if goretex worked as advertised, how would vapor escape through a wet outer shell? I have a Ducksback parka and chaps.

THE FOLLOWING PRODUCT GETS THE AWARD FOR THE MOST RIDICULOUS PRODUCT EVER MADE WITH THE GORETEX FILM LAMINATE.I once called simms company and spoke with a woman representative and asked how the goretex product could allow perspiration out of the waders when the waders were being worn while walking in a stream where the water temperature may be 50 [...]
more dangerous clothing
WHO IS RESPONSIBLEThe following three paragraphs I took from the British publication The Guardian. Seems to me that the USA press has no interest in this very important news story.

ARE CHEMICALS IN CLOTHING DANGEROUS? YES!!!Jerry,I don't know if you've heard of the lawsuit that Delta Airline employees have filed in regard to the new uniforms causing the wearers to get sick. Anyway, you've talked about chemicals in clothing many times before and I thought you'd be interested.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jicPwUabDPo https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/airline-news/2020/01/03/delta-airlines-employees-sue-lands-end-uniforms-made-them-sick/2803937001/ Thanks,Rick Last night I received the above email and links about [...]
college to sell sleeping bags?
RETAIL COLLEGE: HOW TO SELL SLEEPING BAGSI read this article and I am amazed at the chutzpah people in the outdoor industry have. I never went to college but somehow, I have managed to become not only the largest manufacturer of sleeping bags in the world but the only one. It seems to me the best way to sell sleeping [...]

THE SURVIVAL KITRecently I wrote about the survival kit provided to the Air Force and its ability to work has been written about in two military publications as well as the December issue of the Popular Mechanics publication. I have been monitoring the number of views the video has been seen and so far as of today it has [...]
