AI6YR BenMy hot water in a cooler is maintaining quite a bit of heat! No leaks. 45F outdoor temperature. #random #flir
So, assuming your trust Tauntaun is of sufficient heat and insulating capability, passable ice planet survival strategy. That said, if not, you are going to be wet and die of hypothermia as soon as the heat drops below body temp. (RIP poor fictional animal) #iceplanethoth

M.S. Bellows, Jr.@ai6yr Technically, the tauntaun is a bivy sack, not a sleeping bag.
T. J. Bombadil@msbellows @ai6yr Funny you should mention thatā¦ Presenting the single best geek gag ever sold.
@msbellows @ai6yr The little light saber zipper pull really puts this over the top.
llewelly@ai6yr
can you still buy a light saber that doesn't require you to download yet another gol durn app just to turn it on and off?
Also I don't want a light saber that uploads a video of everything I saberslice to Emperor Palpatine's goons. If I cut a storm trooper in half, I don't need every storm trooper on the Death Star to know about it.

I canāt remember the name of the now defunct company, but there was a catalog company that had a Tauntaun sleeping bag
