I know 5 stars sounds excessive, but this is an amazing bag. I have used it right down to its limit and been just fine in base layers. (Warm Sleeper) The material is light but repels dew just fine. Zipper snags are rare and somehow the zipper stays locked without a velcro flap. The cut for the hood around the face is the best I have ever tried. It never binds or cuts. The girth is perfect for me who is average to husky. My only gripe. Don't think this can be a good summer bag using it as a quilt, because the half zipper will roast your legs in anything over 40.
Sleeping Bag Water Test Pt. I:
In this gear test, Shannon Davis jumps in three sleeping bags and we hose them down to see how each one handles high-force rain.

Sleeping Bag Water Test Part II:
Yeah, we know you probably won't ever get fully submerged in a raging river while in your sleeping bag, but that's not good enough for us.

Q.}
On an episode of Survivorman, Les Stroud cooked grasshoppers, stating if you didn't, you might get a tapeworm. But he ate a raw scorpion–couldn't one just as easily get a tapeworm from a scorpion?

Here's what I think I know: Grasshoppers are herbivores. They can eat tapeworm eggs and larvae, maintain them in their gut, and pass them to you.
