and the lie expands

TELL ME LYING ISN’T PROFITABLE!!!

BUT FIRST

I called Mr. Wiggy, about my wife, God love her, but I, over more than 30 years have argued, fought, begged, Prayed, and cajoled, but to no avail, she just won't realize (or admit) that bad things happen. Anybody that knows me, knows that the 0-degree Wiggy bag, must be the basis of all your ruminations be they recreational, or catastrophic. If I believe my own bull shit, my wife needed a bag and pad. It will most likely never see the light of day, but under the logic of, she can't use it if she doesn’t have one, it had to be done. So, a Super light FTRSS hunter, and his luxury pad. I don't go anywhere without Wiggy, because I recognize through personal experiences, that his stuff gives you every opportunity to go home. So, despite her, that's what I want for my wife. Opening the box, all I can say is wow! Thank you, sir, for making stuff that will protect us, in some truly heinous circumstances.

Graphene technology provider enters waterproof breathable membrane market

Producer of graphene nanoplatelet-based products Directa Plus has developed a new membrane containing its technology.

The membrane’s construction is based on a polyurethane film containing the Directa Plus’s G+ graphene nanoplatelets; it worked with a specialist membrane technology partner, Novaresin. It will market the new product under the names Grafytherm and Grafyshield to companies seeking breathable water-protection for outdoor clothing.

In addition to these properties, the Italian technology provider says its use of graphene also provides thermal and electrical conductivity, infrared absorption and anti-bacterial functionality. The new polyurethane film has a patent in Italy and Directa Plus is in the process of extending this internationally.

This company that make graphene in my opinion has lied about the abilities of the graphene to do what ever it is supposed to do. So now they see how profitable gore is seeing their lie they want to get in on the action. Will lying to the general public by the textile business/industry ever stop? Personally, I do not think so.

Winter is I think fast approaching, we had the earliest snow in Colorado in years, September 12 I believe. If you are a believer and advocate of the Farmer’s Almanac as I am the coming winter season will be longer so cold weather will be with us longer than people would like.

Now for you outdoorsmen and women if you are hunting you will need three basic articles of clothing that will make your time outside much more enjoyable because these three articles of clothing will keep your body warm.

Article number one are the fishnets long underwear because all your body perspiration will move through the holes and get away from your skin surface and dry skin is warm skin. However, if you chose to buy any close-knit fabric long underwear you are guaranteeing yourself to get a chill. I do not care what the garment is made from, synthetic or natural fiber these close-knit materials will simply trap all the perspiration your body has produced and when you stop moving even if the temperature is 30 degrees on the plus side you will get a chill.

The next two items of clothing vital to your comfort have to do with your feet. I know so many of you have those magnificently expensive boots that have goretex lining glued into them and Thinsulate the magnificent most non-insulating material on earth doing all they can to keep your feet cold and they do it very successfully. You are also wearing a pair of those nice thick possibly merino wool socks that love moisture. All the sweat from your feet gets into the socks and once the socks are saturated any moisture that gets through them goes no further than the magnificent Thinsulate and goretex. Now when you are standing around in 30 degrees F on the plus side not -30 degrees F your feet start getting cold, isn’t a predicament Ollie? That my friends are REALITY. What you can do to alleviate the situation is wear Lamilite socks and my overboots or muk luks depending how cold it gets. Yes, these two articles of footwear clothing will make your life much more pleasant while you are in the field.

What I do not understand is why companies like Wolverine Worldwide and all their brands stick with these two bogus products and perpetuate the lie that each company publishes about their individual product. There are employees of these footwear companies that are outdoorsmen who hunt who must have the exact same experiences those who buy the boots they make have;” COLD FEET”!!!

During the years I hunted the Fossil Ridge Wilderness I was with numerous men all wearing boots made with goretex and Thinsulate and ALL HAD COLD FEET.

Are the employees of these boot makers so frightened of saying something because they may lose their job? Maybe, but someone must tell upper command that they are perpetuating what I think is the biggest lie ever perpetrated on the general public.

Many of you have been reading my criticism of these companies for years and some have asked why they don’t defend themselves; the answer is they have no defense for a product that does not work.

Are you a soldier who has been issued goretex Thinsulate boots and have experienced cold feet, get the Lamilite socks at minimum and the over boots if appropriate.

Never forget when you purchase a Wiggy product it is not simply a purchase but an investment in you own well being. The Wiggy products are not a one season item but almost a lifetime usable product.
