Newbie pie-chart analysis

Your English is very impressive, it is flawless compared to what many North Americans speak. Not many of us can even hobble along in a foreign language.

How very Swiss.




When I was planing to get a camp-kit (tent, etc.) a year ago, I made a limit of 200e/300$.
Then I found this place and following happened:

Hammock: 170$
Tarp: 130$
Sleeping bag: 130$
Pad: 40$
UQ: 150$
Rope, biners, tensioning gadgets, etc.: 100+$
Shipping (mainly from US): 120$

Total: ±840$

I'm an idiot.

True

I'm an idiot.

Not true , or the world is full of Idiots.

This a hospital for crazy people, not for idiots. One should build hospitals for idiots, but then : try to imagine the size of those buildings...

I've been putting up with an uncomfortable pack & old gear for too long. Last fall I finally gave myself permission to buy a new pack, and maybe a new sleeping bag. Then I found Shug. He pointed me to Hammock Forums. I’ve been happily using my HH for a few years, but I had no idea how horrible my set-up was until I saw how the folks here do it.

Now I cry giddy tears of joy at what I ended up spending this winter.

Worth Every Cent!!!


Hammock: 175
Tarp: 130
UQ: 290
TQ: 240
ULA Pack: 210
Blackrock Hat: 70
Beaners, lines, Ultimate Hang book, misc: 145

Hanging comfortably nestled in downy goodness in "Isolation" = Priceless

lol, i wish my addiction was still in the 3 digit range... I know I've crossed 4, but doubt I have yet crossed 5. Though I think that may one day be a distinct possibility. lol.
