Butterfly Affectation

Like the Monarch butterfly, you too can embark on a doomed quest

Camping is a lot like being a Monarch butterfly. No, no – bear with me. You enter a sleeping bag (or “cocoon”) at night and undergo a “metamorphosis”. When you emerge the following morning you are a totally new person. Then you travel miles and miles over grueling terrain (just like the Monarch’s migration). And at the end of the trip you mate and die.

Yup, the Mountainsmith Monarch 0 Degree sleeping bag is the perfect way to re-create the tragic, short life of the Monarch butterfly. It’s got a form-fitting adjustable hood, a neck baffle collar, and a long anti-snag zipper. What better way to change from a human caterpillar into a glorious human butterfly, then expend your last bit of energy in a suicidal trans-continental quest?

Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go on a “Mantis Quest”. That is, my wife is going to dismember my thorax to feed her young.
