    OMG ... that was funny

    Pretty darn cool there guys.

    I took some of the STinGa minions to watch the movie last weekend and had a short flashback.

    Thanks for the info. The skeeters can get pretty rough here in GA and I will keep Pappa Smurf in mind when it comes time to pick up a net.

    Nice review. I have, and have used the bug sock and love it. The winter sock is on my list and was nice to see the video review of that.

    Papa Smurf cameo was a pleasant surprise. How'd you book him for the video with his recent movie and appearance schedule?

    For others using a winter sock, any issues with condensation/frosting at near/sub-freezing temps?

    I've used a couple different types of "breathable" socks this last winter in Subzero temps. One night in a canvas one I woke up having trouble breathing and feeling super claustrophobic. It turns out the moisture from my breath was freezing the second it hit the cloth, and basically sealed up what little breath-ability the material had. Scared the crap out of me honestly. It was recommend to me by Four Dogs that I have some sort of Chimney to allow fresh air to enter and some hot/moist air to escape. Much like Raul showed in his video.

    Yeah I got lucky I found a pic of P-Smurf like that. I originally wanted to get an action figure or a plush toy to do the video but all sold out at Toys R Us. So I did the next best thing by finding a pic and learning how to use the "green screen" feature of iMovie'11.... fun learning curve on that part. A lot of trial and error before I got is close. I still need work on it though.

    He snuck in my winter sock surprised me too. He then demanded wine and harrassed my Fiance all while heckling me in my kilt.... It got awkward

    I'm sure there will be condensation. I can't see how there wouldn't be. But like a sleeping bag in the winter you should let the sun hit it for a few hours to help evaporate any moisture in the bag. I figured that would be the same thing if I turn it inside out.
