In preparation for the Man's winter hunting trip (white tailed deer, muzzle-loader season), he requested his sleeping bag be repaired since the zipper would no longer zip.
Busted zipper
A trip to Plaza Sewing netted a 100-inch long zipper. Yay! Seemed a bit pricey at $16 and change, but really... it wasn't made in China, so we don't have to worry about lead in case anyone ever chews on the new zipper, ha! And the fact that this otherwise good sleeping bag was redeemable was worth it.
Nice, new, workable zipper
All it took was ripping off the old one and sewing the new one in place - about an hour's worth of work. And the Man stayed toasty warm in snowy weather inside their tent with a wood stove. It's a really large tent.
