are you a survivalist or prepper?

SURVIVALIST PREPPER INDIVIDUALS

Since the activity that arose in 1999 because many believed that we would have a problem of many dimensions going into the year 2000 companies that sold to the survivalist prepper market place sold many Wiggy’s bags. I appreciated their opening the door for Wiggy’s to become a supplier of bags to that market place. Over the years our presence has increased.

One aspect of all of the products made at Wiggy’s that sets Wiggy’s apart from all other companies that make or market similar products is the performance characteristics of our exclusive insulating medium known as Lamilite.

To start with is its primary characteristic that sets it apart completely from all other forms of insulation is the fact that it can be compressed and left in that condition for an unknown amount of time without losing its insulating capability when finally released from its compressed state. I know this to be true because Wiggy’s is the only supplier of vacuum packed survival kits to the US Air Force as well as any other military organization in the USA or other government agency that has a need for vacuum packed sleeping bags, etc. Wiggy’s has also supplied civilian companies such as those in the oil industry. They have purchased vacuum packed sleeping bags to be carried in their trucks in the event the truck breaks down and the crew is stranded where rescue so to speak is not immediate. Wiggy’s has also sold many individuals who venture into the back country who also want the protection in the event their mode of transportation is compromised. It could be an airplane, boat, car, or snow machine to mention a few.

As for survivalists and preppers Wiggy’s has sold numerous bags that are not vacuum packed (probably because of the cost; $175.00 per bag) but because the Wiggy’s bags can be left in their compression stuff sacks compressed probably indefinitely. That holds true for any and all Wiggy’s products that contain Lamilite insulation, such as all of our clothing items... If it does not lose its insulating capability after being released from a packing process that puts it under 20,000 pounds of pressure it will certainly not lose any resilience from a human compressing it in a compression stuff sack.

The second characteristic about Lamilite that also sets it apart from all other forms of insulation is the mere fact that it is totally unaffected by water in any of its forms. Lamilite does not absorb water such as down does and it is not weighted down as other forms of polyester fiberfill are. I believe that is because the other forms of polyester fiberfill are bonded with chemical binders that originally were mixed in liquid and then dried in an oven. Once water is re-introduced it is absorbed weighing down the fiber. Not necessarily to the same extent as down is weighted down.

It is also known if a Wiggy Lamilite insulated product does get wet the insulating capability of the Lamilite is not compromised and if a bag is slept in of a garment is worn the users body heat dries the bag or garment.

There is what appears to me to be more television programs about people who are engaged in the desire to be prepared for any form of emergency situation that may come up.

They show bug out bags as well as food bags with a myriad of items to support life for a short period of time.

All I can say is these folks need the best most durable products they can get that are unaffected by environmental conditions and that is what Wiggy’s offers.
