The Tartan Hen VERTICAL SLEEPER SACK is a new and revolutionary contribution to sleeping technology.
At one swoop it solves the problem of raising oneself from a stone floor without dislocating knee joints.
Simply step out of the vertical sleeper for those furtive nightly visits. The silent zipper further reduces
embarrassment. The DELUXE model (illustrated) has an ingeniously designed string which makes it possible
for someone inside the sleeper-sack to operate it without enlisting the services of an external friend.
Note that the vertical sleeper also solves the problem of limited floor-space in some bothies.
The vertical sleeper should be secured to an overhead beam. Tapes are provided so that the base
can also be secured to a stone. Internal straps eliminate unsightly sagging. The sleeper is constructed
from tough scratch-resistant nylon in either blue or pink. An (optional) anti-midge visor can be supplied.
An additional enhancement is provided by the EN-SUITE version which includes
an internal drainage bottle for night relief without leaving the sack. To reduce embarrassment this is
disguised as a bottle of Haig's Dimple. Care should be taken to avoid it falling into the wrong hands.
Also available are DOUBLE SLEEPER (in blue and pink) (also called The Shiva) and the TREBLE
(also called the Tarantula or the Bill Clinton) which is supplied in kinky candy stripes.
It should be noted that the vertical sleeper can also be used out of doors if used in conjunction with
the Branston convertible rucksack (see above). It this case, however, extra care should be taken to
ensure that the anchor is doubly secure. As an extra precaution the owner should also contact the Chinese
embassy (not Tartan Hen) to secure Chinese over-flying rights.
