Not at all related, but you can ask your doctor about Botox injections. They've been used lately for sweaty palms in folks with Social Anxiety... no reason why it couldn't be applied to feet, AFAIK.

I've talked to a dermatologist about botox...scares me.

I found another link regarding sleeping bag construction:

http://www.survivaltopics.com/survival/how-to-choose-a-sleeping-bag/

It does a good job of putting all the variables in perspective...many of which could be applied to putting together a modular system.
