Woobie

I have had an issued woobie for 23 of my 26 years in the military thought I loved them after having to turn mine in to CIF I bought and after market which was awful, then a beat up issued on from a surplus store which was OK then one of my hunting buddies and former troopers was bragging about his new woobie when he told me what it cost I thought he was nuts now this is a guy that will literally give you the last of his water and do with out or give you his sleeping bag while he shives and stays awake through the night. UNTIL he lent it to me while I was doing some scouting. The night time temp dropped to 48 F and I was comfortable and it felt great. When I got back, I told him thanks for the nice gift after a second he responds its mine go get your own after busting out laughing at his vehemence I gave it back then did just that I bought my own I have had it for three years now including a trip that went off the rails. Weather reports said light snow showers +20 and +15 degree nights, day 2 of a 7 day hunt the passing snow showers turned into a white out blizzard temps plummeted to -17 add the windchill -31 my sleeping bag was only rated to 0 and my tent was only a single wall ultra light with no floor my bag, it did perform great to -5 then the chill started seeping in. Islid my woobie into my bag snuggled down and stayed nice and toasty warm through the worst of the storm with out any additional layers. Best replacement for my beloved military woobie I could get…
