    lucky man

    This morning my fiance' said she wanted to take me on a trip for my birthday but couldnt swing it due to work. She insisted on buying me a gift and woudlnt accept my refusals. She asked for the one piece of gear I wanted and I replied "well, there is the topquilt that you've heard me talk about for the past 4 months"

    Even after seeing the price she insisted on getting it. So a burrow 20° order was just placed!

    I am a lucky man!

    Nice! I've pretty much decided that will be the first one I buy.

    This is cool. My fiance--now wife--is/was the same way. It's an added bonus that I've gotten her to enjoy the trail and backpacking too. So she's learned to appreciate good gear - especially soft, fluffy, down goodness.
