    Clever young lady. All I would add would be a fly...

    What a couple of gomers. I asked about this the other day and everyone said, "Oh, that's so dumb. I'd never use that. Yada, yada, yada." They are called Selk Bags. Here's a link to them. (I would add a fly.....shaking head).

    Who YOU callin' a gomer!

    I used to have a bivy bag... Arms but no legs. This is an improvement. I do like them, but do not have one any more.

    In the emergency room, a "gomer" means "Get Out of My ER". It's used for someone who doesn't belong in an ER, like someone with a hangnail, or who wants a pregnancy test.

    Definitely add a fly. That way you won't end up with a big yellow wet-spot on the front, like Rick's
