From bird to bag

Article Abstract:

A sleeping bag made of down feathers is a wise but expensive investment for campers because it provides more warmth than other synthetic materials and lasts twice as long. Its high cost is due to the need to kill ducks and geese to get their feathers and the related manufacturing work to weave down into sleeping bags.
