Welcome to the forums Jeffrey.

Why don't you post your sleeping bag question over in the Collectors Corner?

Welcome Jeffrey. Sorry to hear about your Spouse. We have 43 years and counting. Also, we heard the same as you, it won't last, you're too young.
I agree with bulldogg, Chief Bones can help you out on that one I'll wager.
