as the man mick says....dont mess about. just used mine for the first time at the cold and very wet Bentley show (and when i say wet i'm talking getting up there with the famous mud-fest bushcraft show last year)....slept in it three nights....first night fell asleep ON TOP of my bivi bag (which was on saturated ground), bare feet covered in mud, filthy wet combats on, hammering it down outside and slept like an angel, second night inside bivi bag but on top of sleeping bag again in muddy water, same state of attire, slept like an angel....third night was getting colder and we were all getting worn down by being soaked (i swear ive got trench foot) so i decided to get in my arctic bag with my twodogs on and yes, you guessed it, slept like an angel only to wake up hardly able to breath, sweating me spudz off, clammy arm pits feeling totally claustrophobic and stifled because the twodogs is so unbelievably good at what it does that the addition of my brit army arctic was totally unecessary and there i was frantically trying to get out of this wonderful garment before i shrivelled up like a currant. seriously, i'm sitting here chuckling about it, i was in a right flap, barely woken up, hadnt a clue where i was and flapping like a lunatic trying to escape the burning heat! lolololol! ( f.y.i. mine is made of a REAL heavy dutch army blanket which is about 8 feet thick
)
over those three days i showed my twodogs to marcus the tent maker, tibor the leathersmith, emberleaf workshop the knifemakers and mark of shark designs plus many more respected circuit bushcrafters and also many of my customers and everyone was blown away by the level of skill, amount of workmanship and value for money. some people used words like insane, nutter, unbelievable, no way, what?, youre kidding! bull**** etc once i'd told them the price and i'm fairly certain i've got him more custom coming his way....and boy does he deserve it.
like all bushcrafters (to some degree) i 'prep', (though i'm no prepper) but to put it in an extreme way, if the S.H.T.Fan tomorrow and i had to 'bug-out' i would be reaching for my two dogs in a split second. end of.
respect!

ps....now firing this link across to shark designs as promised to mark.
pps...WARNING...if you are camping in this country, even if its snow and ice outside with a gale force blowing DO NOT BE STUPID ENOUGH to wear a wool hat if you intend to sleep in your twodogs with its hood up and fully dressed inside an arctic bag and a bivi bag. the chances are your skull will in effect become an oven and your brain will cook and you will die. at the very least you will suffer from severe dehydration, sterility, hallucinations, blistering skin, nausea, vomitting, your body hair will fall out and your toenails will melt
.
ppps....if you were to wear your twodogs, hood up, in bivi and arctic bag near the equator its highly possible that the result would be similar to planet earth colliding with the sun, leading to the extinction of human kind and the end of the world as we know it
.
Everyone buy one of these. It's a fantastic product. It'll last a lifetime.
