I'd think "legged" sleeping bags would be great if you have to get up at night to go to the bog -- but there's no critical area access in that thing. So much for that idea.

Title: Sleeping bag that enables you to walk.
Caption: The designer says "you can get up and flee when you're attacked by a bear in the middle of the night," but I wonder if you really can run fast enough.:eusa_doh:

Thank you, LaMedicine! :)

I knew you'd come through for us. :eusa_clap Though I suspect that it might come in handy if you start hearing these noises. :D

I just hope no one let their kids take these to bed despite Iver Johnson's claims! :eeek:

Edit- I have nothing against guns, as you will see in my posts in the gun threads... but my grandfather was a cop in the 50s and he taught my dad (who in turn taught me) that guns are tools, not toys, and should be treated with the respect they deserve... never given to a child as "safe" to handle on their own... :eusa_doh:

By today's standards, that ad is completely ridiculous. And even back then, no matter how safe their guns may have been, would anyone actually give a loaded gun to a child to sleep with on their lap? Seriously. Or was the thinking back then that different in a regard such as this? Or was this typical advertising claptrap?
