“By analogy with the remark about crash helmets: "If you have a $200 head, get
a $200 helmet!" - from memory my "3 Season" down filled bag cost about $350
about 25 years ago. I have always used a silk inner sheet, and in my
bush-walking days used a closed cell foam mattress. On two occasions I have
been snowed on, and when on the Bogong High Plains to see Halley's Comet, the
night was so clear and cold that in the morning my dark brown tent was covered
with a fur of frost crystals”
But, Brian, what I want to know is: Did you survive?
If, by some quirk of nature, you did – what was your saviour?
Was it:
- the 3 Seasons down filled sleeping bag"?
- the silk inner sheet?
- the closed cell mattress?
- the fur covered dark brown tent?
- the metaphysical energy from Halley’s Comet?
- other?
And..........how does it feel to have a $350 head? (Not being an actual actuary
I haven’t done the monetary adjustment to present day values but I imagine it
would only be something like $350.55.)
