    Wiggy's - Memorial Day Sleeping Bag Sale

    No matter how well you plan, things can go sideways in a minute. I found this letter written to Jerry back in 2003 describing just a situation. I hate to think what the outcome would have been if the letter writer had chosen down sleeping bags. It's a little long winded but a good read...

    Wiggy's - Memorial Day Sleeping Bag Sale

    I agree 100%, down is the lightest, easiest to compress and smallest bag to pack in. The biggest downside of down is if it gets wet, it's worthless. You'll have to decide what is most important to you.

    Wiggy's - Memorial Day Sleeping Bag Sale

    I've got a Super Light which is a 0* bag for hunting trips. I purchased a Backpacker +30* bag for a trip I took on my motorcycle last year through South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. I wanted a lighter weight, more compact bag for that trip, I didn't need a 0* bag in July...

    Wiggy's - Memorial Day Sleeping Bag Sale

    If you are intending to use the hammock and sleeping bag on a pack in hunt somewhere, you'll find sleeping bags that pack down smaller and lighter than a Wiggy's bag but keep in mind that if something were to happen and your bag gets wet, Wiggy's is the only bag on the market that will keep you...

    Wiggy's - Memorial Day Sleeping Bag Sale

    I've purchase a couple of bags for myself and a couple for my daughter and son-in-law. I believe they are the best quality bags you can buy. I've never slept in a hammock before so I can't offer any opinion about that.

    Serrated broadheads?

    Those Bishop serrated heads sure look like they'd clog up limiting their effectiveness. They likely will clog up with hair and fat before they get past the ribs, in my opinion.

    Private pre sets option ideas. Looking for ideas or suggestions.

    Since you're going to be on private property you may choose to do what I did with my daughter. I watch Craigslist for used ladder stands or pick up new ladder stands after the season at good discounts. I prefer the cheaper stands that just have a platform at the top of the ladder and not a...

    Scrape soil, does it matter?

    Here's a fact. If you make a clear spot of dirt, I don't care what type of soil it is, if a deer sees it, they will walk over and check it out. Try it sometime for yourself and see if you don't find deer tracks in it next time you check it. Here's a post I made a few years ago where I discuss...

    Would you trust 1/8 Amsteel to hang your platform or stand?

    I'm curious what calculations you used to determine the amount of load applied to the rope would be less than 2500 lbs.

    Would you trust 1/8 Amsteel to hang your platform or stand?

    The loads applied the ropes/straps on climbing sticks is totally different than those applied to a typical platform. The "camming over" load applied to the rope/strap is much, much greater. How do you calculate the applied load to a rope/strap? I have no idea but I'm sure each platform and...

    String cost rant.

    I just ordered a new string and cable set from Catfish through my local archery shop, $150!!:eek: However, they will install the cable and string and move all of my add-ons from the factory string over to the new string and paper tune it so that adds value to the purchase.
