    Well, what do ya know? No buyers remorse.

    After >50 years of canoeing, hiking, and camping with various methods and equipment, I finally purchased my first down item. A HG 20* Burrow. My purchase was preceded by refusal (I don't need down), followed by reluctance, research, reluctant acceptance, more refusal (I don't need down and I won't spend that kind of money), then desire, and finally eagerness. But still, my new top quilt is the most expensive item in my kit, by far, and spending that much on such an item is waaay outside my comfort zone (I thought).
    But, just this morning, I saw another 'want to buy' posting for a HG Burrow. My mind raced right past the thought "Hey, I can get some of my money back", and settled right down to thinking, "Not me - what would I do then? - I'd just have to buy another one."
    I came to the realization that even after spending what, to me, was a lot of money for something so basic, I had no 'buyers remorse' whatsoever.
    How about that? Comfortable on the cold nights and not regretting the money spent either. I can actually see a summer weight TQ in my future.

    Every time I get in mine I wonder why I didn't buy an underquilt sooner! Money well spent I say.

    Me too...until I found the need for more space in the side cases etc. Then it was easy to remember the times of old (when a 40 lb backpack was considered light) and our luxurious down fart sacks. The HG Incubator and Burrow were light years ahead of our old Camp 7 bags. Like sleeping on and under a warm cloud! Nope no remorse here either.

    Glad this purchase was a success. Always nice to get what you want (need?) instead of getting something that does not fulfill its promise. Happy Hanging.

    What a difference the burrow has been for me. First down purchase and it was worth every penny. Can't wait to buy an incubator.
