    I want to congratulate myself for my patience!

    I ordered my 0* Burrow along with cuben tarp skins and a cuben stuff sack on 3/17. Since Adam has done a couple of rush orders for me, I made a point of telling him, "Take your time. I'm in no hurry whatsoever."

    But we all know that's a lie - we all want immediate gratification. I checked the order status on the HammockGear website every day, ten times a day only to see the order status as "Awaiting Fulfillment." Were truer words ever said? You're darn straight I was awaiting fulfillment!

    Still, I wanted to keep my word to myself and Stormcrow and be patient, for once in my life. Last night was hard, very hard - I just about cracked - on the verge of calling, e-mailing and PMing Adam to say, "Where's the gear?" But I remained strong.

    Mind you, I have no immediate need for any of the stuff I ordered - it ain't winter so I don't need the Burrow, and I've been doing without cuben tarp skins and a cuben stuff sack for years, so no hurry there. But boy, did I want that gear, desperately!

    Well, my patience has been rewarded. Clicked on the order status a few minutes ago and it said, "Shipped!"
    Now I can start stalking the mailman!

    Not at all easy for me. Almost all of my purchases heretofore have been trip-related: I need X piece of gear for a trip on Y date. Then I started thinking that it was pretty inconsiderate of the cottage vendors on my part to operate that way. The usual motivation for wanting the gear by Y date was to show my gear off to others, but I think I'm beyond that now!

    I'm not sure what's more impressive - that color combo, or the fact that you actually managed to figure out how to post a picture from tapatalk.

    That orange is pretty great as an interior color. Wonder how it would look against the Argon Brown? Either way - nice quilt.
