MORE REASONS WHY YOU WANT A WIGGY’S BAG IF YOU ARE IN THE MILITARY
Jerry,
I am currently TDY to Scandinavia for an exercise. We flew military air on a KC-135. The aircrew decided they were hot and turned the heat down in the aircraft. It was freezing! I packed my Wiggy’s FTRSS overbag and my issue self- inflating mattress (haven’t purchased the Wiggy’s lux mattress yet) in my carry-on. I unpacked the bag and laid across the troop seats and was out like a light. I woke up a few times with other troops staring at me with very jealous looks on their faces. I was warm and comfortable for the 8 hour flight. I will never travel anywhere without one of your bags. Thanks.
Respectfully,
Casey B. Walsh
As far as I know many of my products have been used by guys on transports for years. While not used, I make the walk-around snowsuits that are vacuum packed with mittens and mukluks in survival kits carried on many of the transports. But then I am the sole supplier of survival kits to the U.S.A. Airforce.
Yesterday I mentioned that either the Kelty or Sierra Designs sell the copied bastardized sleep system I created. If you want to know how well it has performed just go to the Sierra Trading Post web site and you will find it and all of the none-performing bags marketed today. Sierra Trading Post is the DUMPING GROUND for all none-performing sleeping bags.
Did you ever wonder why Sierra Trading Post sells sleeping bags so cheaply, well maybe it is because they don’t work, as in keeping people warm! Their motto is a sucker is born every minute which permeates the outdoor industry.
And of course the other aspects of these bags you should never forget are the fact that they are made with materials that are chemically treated. More and more people tell me they are told that the number one chemical applied to sleeping bags is Fire Retardant and the source of this information is REI.
Enough said.
